  • Didactic Poetry: the Hellenistic Invention of a Pre-Existing Genre
    in Richard Hunter, Antonios Rengakos, and Evina Sistakou (eds.), Hellenistic Studies at a Crossroads: Exploring Texts, Contexts and Metatexts, Trends in Classics, Supplementary Volume 25 (Berlin 2014) David Sider Didactic poetry: The Hellenistic invention of a pre-existing genre For all that it is almost a cliché that Hellenistic poets were acutely aware of genre —who before Callimachus would or could have boasted of his πολυείδεια?—,¹ discussions, let alone definitions, of didactic poetry as a genre are scarce. Why bother, when it seems so obvious? Look at Aratus and Nicander, whose model was Hesiod, and nothing more need be said. Nonetheless, that will be my aim here. There have of course been many useful studies of classical didactic poetry,² some of which offer various classifications (see below); yet I have long felt that insufficient attention has been paid, both by the ancients themselves and by us today, to the development of the poems called didactic, although modern termi- nology and the ancients are not in complete agreement as to what constitutes a Bibliography at end. Some earlier poets did in fact write in more than one genre, but could have boasted of it only in particular terms, i.e., by specifying “I write poems of type X and Y,” as we see at the end of the Symposium 223d ὁμολογεῖναὐτοὺςτοῦαὐτοῦἀνδρὸςεἶναι κωμῳδίαν καὶ τραγῳδίαν ἐπίστασθαι ποιεῖν, καὶ τὸν τέχνῃ τραγῳδοποιὸν ὄντα <καὶ> κωμῳδοποιὸνεἶναι (“They agreed that the same man can know how to compose both comedy and tragedy, and that the skilled tragic poet is also a skilled writer of comedies”)—to which one can add that Plato has himself done this within this very dialogue, adding satyrography, as Bacon (1959) shows.

I have also benefited from the lively discussion and feedback of many fellow graduate students. I am especially grateful to my colleague and dear friend Laura Takakjy, who closely read countless drafts over breakfasts at Kerbey Lane. I thank as well the numerous friends and fellow graduate students at Texas, including Chuck Oughton, Paul Hay, and the others in our dissertation reading group, who advised on preliminary versions of several chapters. My time in graduate school would surely not have been so productive and enriching were it not for the wide-ranging acumen and camaraderie of Matt Sibley and Olga Koutseridi. I deeply appreciate the contributions of my dissertation committee, whose careful feedback greatly shaped the later revisions I made to this project. Joshua Katz was very generous in commenting on the manuscript and in travelling to Austin to attend my defense.

PREFACE The purpose of this book is to present a complete collection, subject to certain definitions and exceptions which will be mentioned later, of all the best extant Greek Epigrams. Although many epigrams not given here have in different ways a special interest of their own, none, it is hoped, have been excluded which are of the first excellence in any style. But, while it would be easy to agree on three-fourths of the matter to be included in such a scope, perhaps hardly any two persons would be in exact accordance with regard to the rest; with many pieces which lie on the border line of excellence, the decision must be made on a balance of very slight considerations, and becomes in the end one rather of personal taste than of any fixed principle.

  • From Kottabos to War in Aristophanes' Acharnians Ross Scaife
    SCAIFE, ROSS, From "Kottabos" to War in Aristophanes' "Acharnians" , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 33:1 (1992:Spring) p.25 From Kottabos to War In Aristophanes' Acharnians Ross Scaife r THE CENTER of a much-discussed speech in Acharnians ~(524-29), Aristophanes makes Dicaeopolis present the fol­ lowing aetiology of the Peloponnesian War: certain young Athenians, who were J.l(81)o01(o't'tu~ol-drunk from playing kottabos at a symposium-went to Megara and stole a whore named Simaitha. Then in turn the Megarians, whom Dicaeopolis describes as 7t£<puoryyroJ.l£vol-inflamed like fighting cocks from eating too much garlic-came to Athens and stole two whores from the brothel of Aspasia. So although there had been tit for tat, it was the Athenians who started the war, and somehow it was a game of kottabos that provoked them to vent their animal instincts so fatefully.l Elsewhere Aristophanes treats this game as just one among the many lighthearted diversions that his characters typically en­ joy, and thus as quite lacking any menacing aspect. At Pax 339-45, Trygaeus tries to restrain the Chorus by reminding them of the pleasures that a little more patience will soon bring them: a'A'A' o'tuv 'Aa~roJ.l£v U'\hftv, 't11VlKUU'tU xuip£'t£ KUt ~u't£ KUt y£'Au't'· 11- 811 yap £~£o'tat 'toe' UJ.ltV 7tAEtV J.l£VElV ~tv£'iv Ku8£1J8Elv, £~ 7tuv11yUPEt~ 8£rop£tv, EO'ttuo8ul Ko't'tu~i~Etv, 1 For Aristophanes' literary debts in this passage see J.

Anifantakis Agricultural University of Athens, Athens, Greece (received 25 May 1988, accepted 5 July 1989) Summary - The microflora of Kopanisti cheese during its ripening was studied. For this, samples were taken from the surface and the interior of the cheese 1, 8, 16, 32 and 46 days after its manu- facture and the total streptococci, lactobacilli, yeast and molds counts as weil as coliforms were de- termined. The results showed the changes in these microbial parameters during cheese ripening as weil as the differences between the surface and the interior of the cheese. 86 strains of yeast from the cheese sampies were also isolated and identified out of which the following species were found : Trichosporon cutaneum (T. beigelil), Kluyveromyces lactis (KI. marxianus var. lactis), Saccharomyc- es exiguus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rhodotorula rubra, (Rh. mudlaginosa), Trichosporon penici/- latum (Geotrichum penicillatum), Candida lusitaniae (Clavispora lusitaniae) and Debaryomyces han- senii.

  • Literary Quarrels
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics (1) The Cicala's Song: Plato in the Aetia Benjamin Acosta-Hughes University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Version 1.2 © Benjamin Acosta-Hughes, [email protected] (2) Literary Quarrels Susan Stephens Stanford University Version 1.0 © Susan Stephens Abstract: Scholars have long noted Platonic elements or allusions in Callimachus' poems, particularly in the Aetia prologue and the 13th Iambus that center on poetic composition. Following up on their work, Benjamin Acosta-Hughes and Susan Stephens, in a recent panel at the APA, and in papers that are about to appear in Callimachea II. Atti della seconda giornata di studi su Callimaco (Rome: Herder), have argued not for occasional allusions, but for a much more extensive influence from the Phaedo and Phaedrus in the Aetia prologue (Acosta-Hughes) and the Protagoras, Ion, and Phaedrus in the Iambi (Stephens). These papers are part of a preliminary study to reformulate Callimachus' aesthetic theory. 1 The Cicala's Song: Plato in the Aetia* This paper prefigures a larger study of Callimachus and Plato, a study on which my Stanford colleague Susan Stephens and I have now embarked in our co-authored volume on Callimachus.1 Awareness of Platonic allusion in Callimachus is not new, although its significance has not really been appreciateda close reading of the two authors remains a real desideratum, and it is indeed this need that we hope our work will one day fulfill. The main focal points of the present paper are two passages of Callimachus, and two passages of Plato, that, read together, configure a remarkable intertextual dialogue on poetry, reading, and the inspired voice.
