Nam præterquam quad cavendum erat , ne moles libri in immensum accresceret, quæ ad verborum intelligentiam a lectaribus, quibus græcus sermo minus est familiaris, desiderari passint, versio suppeditat latina, quam propterea sæpenumero liberiorem dedimus, non tam id agentes ut verbum redderemus verbo, quam ut sententiam auctoris aperiremus.

  • The Amazons: Development and Functions1
    THE AMAZONS: 1 DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTIONS ) The Un-society 0/ Amazons Amazons are a familiar sight in the Greek mythologicalland­ scape. Physiologically, they are female, but they have encroached on the social role of men: 'They were considered men because of their spirit (elJ'1j,.uxea) rather than women because of their physiolo­ gy (qJlJOL<;)' (Lysias 2.4). According to the popular story - rarely reflected in art - they 'pinched out' or cut off the right breast so as not to impede their javelin-throwing. But as Tzetzes observed, that would have killed them: the more rational- or rationalised ­ alternative, going back to Hippokrates and his sources, is that they cauterised it before it grew, with a special iron tooF). This then explains their name: the Breastless - unless it is because they do not eat barley-bread ÜUl1;a), but tortoises, lizards and snakes3), in which case they have wasted their time tampering with their breasts. In fact these are all popular etymologies and their name, of unknown origin, has determined their anatomy. 'Al!a1;6ve<; invoke a story just as 'AcpQOÖLL'Ij demands to be 'born from foam' (Hes. Theog. 195-8). Defying the normal roles assigned to females by Greeks, Amazons go so far as to exclude males from their society. They are 'man-hating' (crtuyavoQe<; 'Aesch.' Prom. 724) and 'man-Iess' (a.vavöQoL Aesch. Supp!. 287). Yet without men at all, they are an un-society, an impossible society, which it is the job of ethno- 1) Earlier versions of this paper ("Uses of a Dead Amazon") were given to the Annual General Meeting of the Classical Association in Oxford (April 1992) and to the Institut für Alte Geschichte at the University of Munich Oune 1993).

No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.

  • Women and War in the German Cultural Imagination
    Conquering Women: Women and War in the German Cultural Imagination Edited by Hillary Collier Sy-Quia and Susanne Baackmann Description: This volume, focused on how women participate in, suffer from, and are subtly implicated in warfare raises the still larger questions of how and when women enter history, memory, and representation. The individual essays, dealing with 19th and mostly 20th century German literature, social history, art history, and cinema embody all the complexities and ambiguities of the title “Conquering Women.” Women as the mothers of current and future generations of soldiers; women as combatants and as rape victims; women organizing against war; and violence against women as both a weapon of war and as the justification for violent revenge are all represented in this collection of original essays by rising new scholars of feminist theory and German cultural studies.

  • The Function of the Deus Ex Machina in Euripidean Drama
    The Function of the Deus ex Machina in Euripidean Drama Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christine Rose Elizabeth Hamilton, B.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dana L. Munteanu, Advisor Sarah Iles Johnston Thomas Richard Hawkins 1 Copyright by Christine Rose Elizabeth Hamilton 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation explores Euripides’ use of the deus ex machina device in his extant plays. While many scholars have discussed aspects of the deus ex machina my project explores the overall function not only of the deus ex machina within its play but also the function of two other aspects common to deus ex machina speeches: aitia and prophecy. I argue that deus ex machina interventions are not motivated by a problem in the plot that they must solve but instead they are used to connect the world of the play to the world of the audience through use of cult aitia and prophecy. In Chapter 1, I provide an analysis of Euripides’ deus ex machina scenes in the Hippolytus, Andromache, Suppliants, Electra, Ion, Iphigenia in Tauris, Helen, Orestes, Bacchae, and Medea. I argue that in all but the Orestes the intervention does not have a major effect on the plot or characters and I identify certain trends in the function of deus ex machina scenes such as consolation, enhancing Athenian pride, and increasing experimentation in the deus ex machina’s role in respect to the plot of the play and the wider world of myth.
