CORINTH Geographic Location ­ Corinth Is a City and Former Municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese, Greece CORINTH Geographic Location ­ Corinth is a city and former municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese, Greece. Corinth is 78 kilometres west of Athens. Accomplishments in Art and Architecture: Corinth Architecture: ­ Corinthian architecture thrived under the aristocratic family Bacchiadae (ruling family in the 7th and 8th century BCE) ­ Built the Temple of Apollo based off the myth of Marsyas, the inventor of the diaulos (instrument) ­ Built in around 540 BCE ­ Doric style ­ monolithic (made from single pieces of stone) ­ Floor under each colonnade rises in a convex curve ­ the earliest known use of this refinement Corinth Pottery: ­ Famous for its pottery ­ Known for creating vases with angular geometric patterns ­ Later influenced the ‘orientalizing’ of Greek pottery through their contact with the Near East. ­ Proto­Corinthian style: mostly miniatures, first to be decorated by black­figure painting style (silhouettes drawn in black and filled with incised details) ­ Primary motifs are similar to the Middle East: animals in procession and humans, sometimes from myths The Corinth order is a type of column named after Corinth but was not actually created by Corinthians or commonly used by the Ancient Greeks Main source / items of trade / basis for economy ­ Corinthians manufactured perfumes, pottery, wine and olive oil. Corinth is mostly known as a port city and hosted merchants from all around the known world. Education ­ Until they were seven years old, children were educated at home by their mother or a male slave in art and science. From seven to fourteen, they attended a day school to be educated in drama, poetry, art, science, and public speaking. If their parents could afford it, they went to a higher school. Afterward, boys went to at least two years of military school. The girls’ education was similar to that of Athenians; they learned domestic chores from their mother like sewing, cooking, and cleaning because parents were afraid that their daughters would become spoiled of they learned how to read. However there were some parents to ignored this paranoia and taught them anyway. Corinth thought ​ that their schools were as good as those in Athens. They were maybe not as fancy, but the level of education in Corinth was outstanding. Class Structure/Gender roles­ ● Very similar to Athens government ● Ditched monarchy, obtained oligarchy ● Accepted people from different places ● Men in Oligarchy had the highest rankings ● Merchants were middle class ● Farmers and Slaves were in the lowest rankings Men Roles ● Before the age of 7, boys were educated by their mothers or male slaves ● Boys age 7­14 would attend actual school if you could afford it ● Boys would be expected to go to military school for at least 2 years ● Men were expected to take part in public life and government Women Roles ● Women were expected to marry at the age of 14 or 15 to a man age 30 or older ● Raise family ● Supervise slaves ● help children learn from the ages of 7­14 Style of Government Corinth's government switched from a tyranny to a monarchy to an oligarchy. The first ruler was a tyrant named Cypselus, who helped Corinth gain the reputation as a trade and cultural center. When the son of Cypselus,Periander took over power ​ ​ he became a king. Periander helped stabilize trade, created a new coinage system, ​ ​ created a successful public works program, and provided peace and prosperity in order for Corinth to flourish. Because of these accomplishments he was considered one of the seven wise men of Greece. Later, Periander became paranoid because of the ​ critics he had who were not happy with the drastic measures he took in order to improve Corinth. As a result he demanded 24/7 protection and eventually lost it when he murdered his mistress and exiled his own son. After this Corinth became a stable oligarchy, with a king and several powerful advisors. Military/Naval Success Joined Sparta in the Greco­Persian wars, Defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian Wars, defeated Sparta in the Corinthian Wars Famous People ­ Tatiana Corinth was conquered by Philip II of Macedon in 338 BC, but it was named the meeting place of Philip's new Hellenic confederacy. After Philip was assassinated, Alexander the Great immediately came to Corinth to meet with the confederacy, confirm his leadership, and forestall any thoughts of rebellion. At the Isthmian Games of 336 BC, the Greeks chose Alexander the Great to lead them in war against the Persians. Corinth was partially destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC, but in 44 BC it was rebuilt as a Roman city under Julius Caesar. Roman Corinth prospered more than ever before and may have had as many as 800,000 inhabitants by the time of Paul. It was the capital of Roman Greece, equally devoted to business and pleasure, and was mostly populated by freedmen and Jews. The Apostle Paul visited Corinth in the 50s AD and later wrote two letters to the Christian community at Corinth (the books of 1 and 2 Corinthians in the New Testament). When Paul first visited the city (51 or 52 AD), Gallio, the brother of Seneca, was proconsul of Corinth. Paul lived in Corinth for 18 months (Acts 18:1­18), working as a tentmaker and converting as many Jews and pagans as he could. Here he first became acquainted with Aquila and Priscilla, who became his fellow­workers. Motto: We’re just as epic as Athens if not more!! Song: Corinth is a smart city Education is our passion we send all our kids to school we’re better than you Athens Corinth is great City We love equality Welcome all you immigrants We’re here to set you free Corinth is a strong city We always fought hard We were allies with Sparta We played the right cards Corinth is port city We had lots of trade We have some pretty pottery and everything's homemade Corinth is a city .

  • Oracular Prophecy and Psychology in Ancient Greek Warfare
    ORACULAR PROPHECY AND PSYCHOLOGY IN ANCIENT GREEK WARFARE Peter McCallum BA (Hons) MA A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Wales Trinity Saint David June 2017 Director of Studies: Dr Errietta Bissa Second Supervisor: Dr Kyle Erickson Abstract This thesis examines the role of oracular divination in warfare in Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greece, and assesses the extent to which it affected the psychology and military decision-making of ancient Greek poleis. By using a wide range of ancient literary, epigraphical, archaeological, and iconographical evidence and relevant modern scholarship, this thesis will fully explore the role of the Oracle in warfare, especially the influence of the major Oracles at Delphi, Dodona, Olympia, Didyma, and Ammon on the foreign policies and military strategies of poleis and their psychological preparation for war; as well as the effect of oracular prophecies on a commander’s decision- making and tactics on the battlefield, and on the psychology and reactions of soldiers before and during battle. This thesis contends that oracular prophecy played a fundamental and integral part in ancient Greek warfare, and that the act of consulting the Oracles, and the subsequent prognostications issued by the Oracles, had powerful psychological effects on both the polis citizenry and soldiery, which in turn had a major influence and impact upon military strategy and tactics, and ultimately on the outcome of conflicts in the ancient Greek world. Declarations/Statements DECLARATION This work has not previously been accepted in substance for any degree and is not being concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree.

  • {PDF EPUB} the City of Corinth and the Secret Diary by LA Francis
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The City of Corinth and the Secret Diary by L.A. Francis Corinth Legends and History. Corinth is the name of an ancient Greek polis (city-state) and nearby isthmus that lent its name to a set of Panhellenic games, a war, and a style of architecture. In works attributed to Homer, you may find Corinth referred to as Ephyre. Corinth in the Middle of Greece. That it is called 'isthmus' means it is a neck of land, but the Isthmus of Corinth serves as more of a Hellenic waist separating the upper, mainland part of Greece and the lower Peloponnesian parts. The city of Corinth was a rich, important, cosmopolitan, commercial area, having one harbor that allowed trade with Asia, and another that led to Italy. From the 6th century B.C., the Diolkos, a paved route up to six meters wide designed for a fast passage, led from the Gulf of Corinth on the west to the Saronic Gulf on the east. Passage From the Mainland to the Peloponnese. The land route from Attica into the Peloponnese passed through Corinth. A nine-kilometer section of rocks (the Sceironian rocks) along the land route from Athens made it treacherous—especially when brigands took advantage of the landscape—but there was also a sea route from the Piraeus past Salamis. Corinth in Greek Mythology. According to Greek mythology, Sisyphus, a grandfather of Bellerophon—the Greek hero who rode Pegasus the winged horse—founded Corinth. (This may be a story invented by Eumelos, a poet of the Bacchiadae family.) This makes the city not one of the Dorian cities—like those in the Peloponnese—founded by the Heracleidae, but Aeolian).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

The list is long indeed. First, I owe my committee a great deal, and my chair above all. Ruth Scodel gave me the room to explore my own ideas and the support to help make something of them. I needed to spin my wheels a bit before I started making any progress on my dissertation, and she allowed me space to spin and then also helped set me on a productive path. For that I am deeply grateful, and for the wealth of knowledge she has shared with me while still allowing my research to be my own. She has taught me a great deal about how to be a scholar and an instructor, as well as a colleague, and I will take those lessons with me. I also owe a great debt to my committee members—Richard Janko, Sara Ahbel-Rappe, and Ezra Keshet—all of whom have helped refine my ideas and pointed me toward useful scholarship to develop my research.

  • Mark Stanley Wheller
    Christ as Ancestor Hero: Using Catherine Bell’s Ritual Framework to Analyze 1 Corinthians as an Ancestor Hero Association in First Century CE Roman Corinth by Mark Wheller A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Religious Studies University of Alberta © Mark Wheller, 2017 Abstract The Corinthian community members employed a Greco-Roman heroic model to graft their ancestral lineages, through the rite of baptism, to the genos Christ-hero. In doing so, the Corinthians constructed an elaborate ancestral lineage, linking their association locally through Christ to Corinth, and trans-locally through Moses to an imagined Ancient Israel. For the community, Christ’s death and resurrection aligned with the death and epiphanies of ancient heroes, as did his characteristics as a healer, protector, and oracle. Relatedly, the “Lord’s Meal,” as practiced by the Corinthians, was a hybrid ritual, as the association synthesized the meal with the already-existing heroic rites of theoxenia and enagezein. This ritualized meal allowed the Christ-hero followers to bring their hero closer to them, imbuing their oracular rituals of prophecy and speaking in tongues, as well as their protection rituals. In response to their hero, the Christ-hero members offered locks of their hair through hair-cutting and hair-offering rituals. Their funerary rites and ritualized meals nuanced and dominated other cultic aspects such as healing, oracles, offerings, baptism, and defixiones. Yet the Christ-hero did more than just focus worship for the community. In fact, it allowed a newly transplanted migrant population to construct a socio-political space within the polis, by restructuring their neighbourhood networks and claiming ownership and status within the greater Corinthian environment.

  • First Corinthians
    FIRST CORINTHIANS VOLUME 32 The Anchor Yale Bible is a fresh approach to the world’s greatest classic. Its ob- ject is to make the Bible accessible to the modern reader; its method is to arrive at the meaning of biblical literature through exact translation and extended ex- position, and to reconstruct the ancient setting of the biblical story, as well as the circumstances of its transcription and the characteristics of its transcribers. The Anchor Yale Bible is a project of international and interfaith scope: Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from many countries contribute indi- vidual volumes. The project is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organization and is not intended to reflect any particular theological doctrine. Prepared under our joint supervision, The Anchor Yale Bible is an effort to make avail- able all the significant historical and linguistic knowledge which bears on the interpretation of the biblical record. The Anchor Yale Bible is aimed at the general reader with no special formal training in biblical studies; yet it is written with the most exacting standards of scholarship, reflecting the highest technical accomplishment. This project marks the beginning of a new era of cooperation among scholars in biblical research, thus forming a common body of knowledge to be shared by all.
