"4r^ Todays Gaitie If today's Tiger-Wolfpack battle is anything like some of those previous 45 meetings between the two charier members of the ACC. then buckle up. The rivalry is best remembered for the days when Frank Howard stalked the Clemson sideline wonder- ing what State s Earle Edwards was going to conjure up on the other side of the field. Certainly one of the most exciting was Clemson's 1 4-6 win in 1 967 (See Buddy Gore's recollection of that game on Page 7) when the Tigers came out in Orange shoes. State's defensive unit had become famous that season wearing White shoes. Then one year later in Raleigh, a Tiger comeback gave Clemson a 24-19 win and Howard a budding new tailback named Ray Yauger. Tigers,Wolfpack It's an unpredictable senes. Take the 1971 game. Although State had managed but two wins all year, the Wolfpack ended the season in Death Valley with an exciting In ACC Showdown 31-23 win. And State found a budding sophomore back named Willie Burden, the third-best rusher in Wolfpack history. Today s encounter pits the same rivals, only the names have been changed. State's Johnny Evans is the league's leading player in total offense. His passing arm is a deadly weapon. Evans has hit 64 of 141 passes for 963 yards. Although Clemson's Steve Fuller, like Evans a candidate for AII-ACC honors, doesn't have that many yards via the pass, he ranks behind the State signal-caller in total offense with 929 yards. But don't expect State to rely on the Evans arm alone. The Pack brings a pair of running backs to Tigertown that any team in the country would like to have in Ted Brown and Billy Ray Vickers. Already State's all-time career rushing leader in only his junior year, Brown has 625 yards in 110 carries this season, and 2.626 total. He played in only seven varsity games his freshman year, but Clemson folks should remember him. In 24 carries, Brown set a State single-game rushing mark with 227 yards and four touchdowns. Only a sophomore, Vickers has netted 487 yards on 89 rushes. Clemson's top rushers are Lester Brown and Warren Ratchford with 339 and 318 yards, respectively. Fleet Jerry Butler is Fuller s top aenal partner with 23 receptions for 450 yards, and the Charlotte. N. C. duo of Dwight Clark and Rick Weddington have grabbed nine each for 162 and 1 19 yards, respectively. State brings the league's top total offensive team into today's game, and top sconng team. Clemson hopes to counter with a defensive unit that has been stingy this fall, and one ranked second in the conference in total defense. Charley Pell's defensive heroes have been many, although linebackers Randy Scott. Bubba Brown, and Ronnie Smith, and end Mark Heniford are the team's top tacklers. Steve Ryan, a starting free safety who came to Clemson without a scholarship after transferring from North Carolina A&T. heads the team in interceptions with four. DT Jim Stuckey had an exceptional game against Duke, including a pass intercep- tion that set up Clemson's first TD, and a bone-crushing tackle that stripped Blue Devil quarterback Mike Dunn of the football to give the Tigers possession at their own 21 to halt a Duke sconng drive. But don't assume anything about this rivalry other than the fact that both teams are still in the running for the ACC title along with three other teams. North Carolina, with a 2-0 record, leads the race with the Wolfpack second at 3-1 The Tigers and Maryland are both 2-1, and Duke is 1-1. Program Editor 1 .

  • The Date of the First Pythiad-Again Alden A
    MOSSHAMMER, ALDEN A., The Date of the First Pythiad - Again , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 23:1 (1982:Spring) p.15 The Date of the First Pythiad-Again Alden A. Mosshammer OST HISTORIANS have long agreed that the first in the regular M series of Pythian festivals celebrated every four years at Del­ phi took place in 58211. Now H. C. Bennett and more re­ cently S. G. Miller have argued that we should instead follow Pausa­ nias in dating the first Pythiad to 586/5, because the Pindaric scho­ liasts, they maintain, reckon Pythiads from that year. 1 The debate is an old one, but it has important implications for our understanding of the sequence of events at the time of the First Sacred War. Bennett and Miller have rightly criticized the excessive claims that have been made for some of the evidence; and Miller, in particular, has offered some important new insights into the problem. The argument in favor of 58211 nevertheless remains the stronger case. It needs to be presented once again, both to take these new objections into account and to elucidate the tradition that has given rise to the debate. I. The Problem According to the Parian Marble, our earliest evidence (264/3), the Amphictyons celebrated a victory against Cirrha by dedicating a por­ tion of the spoils as prizes for a chrematitic festival celebrated in 59110, and again the games became stephani tic in 582/1. 2 Pausanias 1 H.

  • Sports, Theatre and Entertainment in the Ancient World
    Athletics, spectator sports, theatre, and other pastimes have become a consuming activity in our own time, cut short, at least temporarily, by our recent pandemic. How did these and other diversions develop in history? Are their antecedents found in the ancient world, especially in Greece and Rome? In this presentation, we will investigate the cultural roots and evolution of entertainment, especially the Greek and Roman games, as well as their theatre. Remember that the term culture comes from the Latin word cultus, in that most, if not all, of these activities have their origins in religious festivals or rites. We will also look into the social, economic and political dimensions of entertainment in antiquity. Since the Greek Olympic Year of 2014, dozens of studies have appeared that have enriched our understanding of these themes. While we will be concentrating on Greece and Rome, we will also briefly take glances of possible parallel developments in China, Egypt, Phoenicia, Byzantium, and elsewhere. Finally, we will study how these may have influenced our modern entertainments and recreation 1 In 2003, I participated in the First International Conference on History at the Athens Institute for Education and Research, and subsequently helped to edit the first collection of Essays, entitled Antiquity and Modernity: A Celebration of European History and Heritage in the Olympic Year 2004. It was soon followed by this host of publications. All of the books pictured (except two reprints) appeared between 2004 and 2015. A number of them gave new perspectives on Ancient athletics and sport, some of which I will briefly describe in this presentation….

  • 1 Reading Athenaios' Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition And
    Reading Athenaios’ Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo: Critical Edition and Commentaries DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Corey M. Hackworth Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Fritz Graf, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Carolina López-Ruiz 1 Copyright by Corey M. Hackworth 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the Epigraphical Hymn to Apollo that was found at Delphi in 1893, and since attributed to Athenaios. It is believed to have been performed as part of the Athenian Pythaïdes festival in the year 128/7 BCE. After a brief introduction to the hymn, I provide a survey and history of the most important editions of the text. I offer a new critical edition equipped with a detailed apparatus. This is followed by an extended epigraphical commentary which aims to describe the history of, and arguments for and and against, readings of the text as well as proposed supplements and restorations. The guiding principle of this edition is a conservative one—to indicate where there is uncertainty, and to avoid relying on other, similar, texts as a resource for textual restoration. A commentary follows, which traces word usage and history, in an attempt to explore how an audience might have responded to the various choices of vocabulary employed throughout the text. Emphasis is placed on Athenaios’ predilection to utilize new words, as well as words that are non-traditional for Apolline narrative. The commentary considers what role prior word usage (texts) may have played as intertexts, or sources of poetic resonance in the ears of an audience.

Greece is a country that is enclosed with hills and mountains alongside short riv- ers and fertile va lleys. Even though Greek people were living in separate city-states, they were unit- ed under national pride, common temples, same rituals and games like Olympic. Sports were the most important parts of most Greek men. Gym and music alongside each other, fed the body and the soul of the athletes. They admired the beauty of well-trained men. They believed in multiple gods who were living in Holy mount of Olympus under the reign of greater god, Zeus and they held many rituals to satisfy them and Olympic was the most famous rituals amongst others.

  • Mens Sana in Corpore Sano? Body and Mind in Ancient Greece David C
    The International Journal of the History of Sport Vol. 22, No. 1, January 2005, 22 – 41 Mens Sana in Corpore Sano? Body and Mind in Ancient Greece David C. Young The popular noations that the ancient Greek athlete was more ‘well rounded’ than ours is wholly false, nor was there every any Greek ideal to achieve or pursue both intellectual and bodily excellence. Earlier Greeks judged excellence in either category invaluable, but an increasiingly vocal minority of intellectuals, apparently jealous of the athletes’ great rewards, denigrated athletes and bodily achievement. Mind, they said, was superior to body. By later antiquity, some authors even asserted that athletes were as stupid as animals, and their achievements no greater. Christianity welcomed the philosophers’ depreciation of the body, and mediaeval ascetism carried it to the extremes that de Coubertin and others called ‘‘hatred of the flesh.’’ The latter part of the paper explains how the rebirth of athletics dealt with these matters, and how false notions of the Greeks entered popular belief. Some classicists, many historians of sport and most members of the modern Olympic movement idealize the athletic system of ancient Greece, rating it superior to our own. Typical remarks are these by Avery Brundage, long the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Brundage’s powerful presidency, even after the disappearance of amateurism, still influences much of current Olympic thinking: In the enlightened ‘Golden Age’, true culture was well rounded, requiring both physical and mental training. Philosophers, dramatists, poets, sculptors and athletes met on common ground. Plato, the great thinker, was also a great athlete and won honors in the games.

THE NEW PANATHENAIC VICTOR LISTS FINDSPOT, DESCRIPTION, AND TEXT The present inscription (pp. 188-189) listing athletic victors in the Panathenaia first came to my attention a number of years ago by word of mouth.1 I do not have accurate information about its initial discovery. The stone was initially under the jurisdiction of Dr. George Dontas, who helped me gain accessto it and determinethat no one was working on it. My own interest in the inscriptionin the first place stemmedfrom the hand. With the assistance of the Greek authorities, especially the two (former) directorsof the Akropolis, G. Dontas and E. Touloupa, whose generous cooperationI gratefully acknowledge,I have been granted permission to publish this important inscription.2In October of 1989 I was able to study the text in situ and also to make a squeeze and photographs.3 I In a joint article it is particularly important to indicate who did what.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS OF CLASSICS AND ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN STUDIES AND ANTHROPOLOGY FINDING THE PYTHIA MELISSA DIJULIO SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Anthropology with interdisciplinary honors in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Anthropology Reviewed and approved* by the following: Zoe Stamatopoulou Tombros Early Career Professor of Classical Studies and Assistant Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies Thesis Supervisor Mary Lou Munn Senior Lecturer in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Director of Undergraduate Studies and Honors Advisor Honors Adviser Timothy Ryan Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Geosciences, and Information Sciences and Technology Honors Advisor * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT As a historical figure, Pythia, the Delphic oracle, that mysterious mouthpiece of the Greek god Apollo, has largely escaped public attention. Though her words live on in the writings of the ancient authors Aeschylus, Herodotus, and Plutarch, to name of few, the person behind the famous utterances is all but forgotten. In fact, there are only four named Pythias that are known to modern scholars, and beyond their names, not much more can be said of them. However, through the examination of the Delphic oracle as an example or descendant of the earlier practice of spirit possession, I make connections and postulate theories that may further explain the origin, mindset, and influences of these tripod-perched women. In furtherance of this aim, I examine the possible presence of hallucinogens, especially ethylene gas, and the way these substances may have influenced and formed Delphic practices.

ATINER is an independent Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER‟s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens“…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing”. (“Pericles‟ Funeral Oration”, in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER‟s mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people‟s opinions and beliefs.
