Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT of THESIS The bulk of this thesis consists of coimTientaxies on Pindar Pythian 11 and Nemean 2. As a prologue there is a general introduction to Pindar analysing some Pindaric problems, and an analysis of some features of the Pindaric scholia (the ancient commentaries on Pindar). The INTRODUCTION shows now Pindar tailored the mythical parts of his victory odes to suit the occasion, and how the odes do not nicely conform to a general pattern. The second part, TITLES and INSCRIPTIONES in the PINDARIC SCHOLIA and the OCCASION of PYTHIAN ELEVEN, shows that the dates and titles given by the scholia for Pindar’s odes are an unrel­ iable amalgam of bits of information and guesses (often infer­ ences from the odes themselves). The COMMENTARY on PYTHIAN ELEVEN tackles the problem posed by Pindar apparently spatchcocking an irrelevant mythical story about Agamemnon into the ode. It is suggested (l) tne victor’s conquest at the Games has affinities to Orestes’s conquest over his father’s murderers; (2) when Pindar says he went off-course in telling the myth he is being disingenuous; representing what he thinks would be the attitude to the myth of the victor’s family; (3) themes of envy, moderation, success, highlighted in the myth are relevant to the victor. The COMNIENTARY on NEMEAN TWO suggests tnis short ode (like other snort ones) was designed to preface the komos (victory sing-song and celebrations) held for tne victor. The ode’s compressed thought and obscure allusions are unravelled: Orion z following the Pleiades symbolises how the victor may hope to gain a big win at Olympia after his recent little successes; Hector’s submission to Aias is analogous to the submissions gained by the victor over his opponents. Puns and etymologising are shown to be a feature of tne poem.

The Classification of Pindar's Odes §1 In the Fifth and Fourth Centuries B.C. Pindar was 2 famous and held in honour all over the Greek world . Herodotus, Plato, Aristotle, Alcidamas, Isocrates, Aristophanes, Menander 2 all quotegu him , and he led the Hellenistic canon of nine lyric 3 poets ^2 His output was first (as far as we can tell) classified by Aristophanes of Byzantium^; the epinicians were contained in the last four of the total of 17 books. Even in antiquity, however, it was recognised that some poems among the epinicians had been mis-classified: Inscriptio N.9 (referring to Nemeans 9, 10, 11) eK.i;T^) ^'ï puK&Ti g icI Sio c^Gpo/TQ,/^- c f . U s e r . a. pJ.W O j^ q (][%u u q c , 6 )( p ^ / ioi{T>|/ 'rs^uT»]/ Gic 'rcvc i^i)ccc?c cuVfcUct»i o<J |Gpo/ V6viKv||(-eK The implication of these scholia is that in the First Century B.C. Didymus recognised that Nemeans 9-11 were not epinicians for Nemean victories and had separated them from the other Nemeans. Another piece of evidence for problems in antiquity concerning the classification of Pindar's poems is P.Oxy.2451 A, scraps (probably from a Life of Pindar) forming parts of an ancient commentary on Isthmians and also (P.Oxy. 2451 B fr. 17) on an oc^o cjopito/ c . T L e èc^ocj;o0 ic< were an Athenian festival^. It is a reasonable conjecture that Pindar's formed an appendix to his Isthmians as Nemeans 9-11 did to the other Nemeans^. §4- There was a similar problem of classification over some of Pindar's Partheneia, whether to classify some of them as a third book of Partheneia or as a separate appendix^. What distinguished these TtpOtvërioc we do not know; 8 a scrap of an ancient dispute about them survives in P.Oxy.2438 . §5- These problems in antiquity over the classification of Pindar's poetry should remind us of two things: firstly, the poems which in modern editions are grouped together as epinicians are in many respects a motley collection; secondly, the clear-cut distinctions between genres suggested by classi­ fiers' labels are an anacKnonism^. It is easy to think that because we have four books designated 'epinicians', therefore they are all the same sort of poem; this has led some modern American scholars to try to explain them by reference to a generalised formal model^^. But these claims have not be sub­ stantiated by their authors. (See further below). 2. Recent Pindaric Scholarship §i The idea that for all of Pindar's odes there is a single general theory that explains them (such as the modern American scholars claim to have discovered) can be traced back to the 19th Century work of Boeckh and Dissen^^ and the notion that all the odes can be explained by reference to an underlying central thought or Grundgedanke. The theory led Hermann^^ to reject as irrelevant padding anything not in accord with the hypothetical underlying thought and is a similar sort of theory to the theory of Bundy^^ that all parts of all the odes have a single aim, namely to praise the winner, with parts that do not appear to praise the winner functioning as foils to offset those that do. The Grundgedanke theory was developed, in another direction, also followed by modern scholarship, by the theory of F. Mezger^^ that in each ode there are key repeated words which express the essential thought of the poem (cf. D. C. 17 Young recently : "Mezger's theory of the recurrent word is basically correct (though not in the form in which he gave it) and, I believe, is the greatest single aid for an understan­ ding of a Pindaric ode"^^). The commentaries of Fennell^^ and 2 0 Bury are also strongly influenced by this theory. §3 In a counter-reaction to this trend, the heterogeneity of the odes was strongly emphasised towards the turn of the 21 century by Drachmann who stressed the diversity of the odes' ingredients. This counter-reaction was influenced by a growing interest in trying to establish the diverse historical circum­ stances surrounding each ode's composition. The main proponent 2 2 of this risky historicising approach was Wilamowitz . A result of this counter-reaction was a tendency to see the one part of the poem most obviously not based in documentable history, 23 namely the myth, as an irrelevant digression . Modern discus­ sions of Pythian 11 have largely centred around this view of its myth, on the assumption that when Pindar says (P.11 38-40) he went off course in telling the myth he is admitting to having made a mistake in telling it (a debatable assumption: see my commentary ad loc.). Between these two approaches came the theory of sub­ jective and objective unity advocated by Schadewaldt^^, though first suggested 98 years earlier by Boeckh, according to which each ode had two competing aims, on the one hand to praise the winner and on the other to express -the poet's own personal views. It was Schadewaldt, too, who first drew attention 2 5 to the conventions of epinician poetry as a genre . Schadewaldt's work is important for the understanding of Pythian 11: Pindar's apparent apology for haing told the myth has to be recognised as a conventional rhetorical device on the one hand enabling the poet to change themes, on the other highlighting how there is more to Pindar's odes than just personal praise of the winner; the victor may have wanted Pindar to aim at nothing but victor- praise, but Pindar had other ideas. §5" The importance of understanding the conventions of the genre has recently been underlined by Bundy^^; as mentioned, he insists that praise of the winner was the poet's overriding aim. Some of the dangers inherent in his approach have been well pointed out by Professor Lloyd-Jones in his 1982 lecture 2 7 on Pindar to the British Academy . Three further dangers should be noticed: firstly, one must be cautious before speaking of the conventions of the epinician genre; apart from Pindar and Bacchylides, other representatives of the genre scarcely exist, and Pindar's technique in constructing his epinicians is diffe­ rent enough from Bacchylides ' to make it possible that if more survived of the epinicians of Ibycus and Simonides our views about what should count as a convention of the genre (as opposed to a trait of Pindaric style) would be very diffe­ rent.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

  • 10. Rood, Thucydides and His Predecessors 230-267
    Histos () - THUCYDIDES AND HIS PREDECESSORS Thucydides’ response to his literary predecessors has been explored with some frequency in recent years. Several articles have appeared even since Simon Hornblower recently wrote that ‘two areas needing more work are Thucydides’ detailed intertextual relation to Homer and to Herodotus’. In these discussions, Thucydides tends to be seen as inheriting a wide range of specific narrative techniques from Homer, and as alluding to particular pas- sages in epic through the use of epic terms and through the broader struc- turing of his story. It has also been stressed that Thucydides’ relationship with Homer should be studied in the light of the pervasive Homeric charge found in the work of Herodotus, the greatest historian before Thucydides. Nor is Thucydides’ debt to Herodotus merely a matter of his taking over Herodotus’ Homeric features: it is seen, for instance, in his modelling of his Sicilian narrative after Herodotus’ account of the Persian Wars, and in his assuming knowledge of events described by Herodotus. Nonetheless, no apology is needed for making another contribution to this topic: by drawing together and examining some of the recent explora- tions of Thucydidean intertextuality, I hope to establish more firmly how Thucydides alluded to his predecessors; and by looking beyond the worlds of epic and Herodotus that have dominated recent discussions, I hope to present a more rounded image of the literary milieu of the early Greek his- torians.

  • Tensions in the Greek Symposium Julia Burns Submitted in Fulfillment
    Conflicting Desires and Unstable Identities: Tensions in the Greek Symposium Julia Burns Submitted in Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Classical Studies May 2013 ©2013 Julia Burns I. Introduction The Greek symposium, or private drinking party, was a formal context for the consumption of wine, often accompanied by the enactment of ritual activities or other associated forms of entertainment.1 The tradition of symposia seems to have evolved from group feasts in the Archaic period and from the traditional gathering of hetaireiai in the late Archaic period.2 Generally, men would congregate in the andron of a private home and recline on kline for a night of drinking, singing or poetry composition, discussion, or other games.3 While meals that shared aspects of the Archaic symposium were held in public spaces in Athens by the fifth century, symposia remained the preserve of the elites: the aristocracy had a monopoly on sympotic symbolic capital, despite any popularizing elements of polis-wide feasting.4 The term “symposium” is often used synecdochically for the series of ritual activities that takes place over the course of a single gathering; however, it more accurately relates to the time when wine was consumed during a private party. If food was prepared before the drinking began, this meal, the deipnon, was a distinct and separate ritual element of the party.5 After the consumption of food, a hymn was sung in honor of the gods and libations were poured. At this point, the master of ceremonies, called the symposiarch, would decide the proper ratio at which 1 I would like to thank Kate Gilhuly for her support and invaluable comments on drafts of this paper.

  • Cult and Crisis: a GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 383–395 Original Study Constanze Graml*, Manuel Hunziker, Katharina Vukadin Cult and Crisis: A GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0024 Received February 12, 2019; accepted June 18, 2019 Abstract: From a political point of view, 3rd century BCE Athens represents a shattered unity. Parts of the Athenian countryside and even the city itself were occupied by foreign troops. This loss of control affected the city’s political, economic, social, cultural, and religious life. Since Cleisthenic times, relations between political units and religious communities had become institutionalised through specific cults. Other cult places of relevance to the larger community and therefore with a catchment area that exceeded a deme, e.g. Eleusis, were also affected, as they lay within the occupied territories. This partial inaccessibility of the countryside risked the disruption of religious duties. The project “Cult and Crisis: The Sacred Landscape of Attica and its Correlation to Political Topography” aims to identify potentially affected cult places with no limitations regarding their possible catchment area by analysing their placement in relation to foreign military bases. Alterations in cult practice can plausibly be detected in changes ranging from cessation to the rerouting of ritual movement or the establishment of substitute cult places. As these “solutions” rarely feature in written sources, our GIS-based approach will focus on material remains from sanctuaries. Although an object’s use for ritual practice cannot be deduced with certainty, the distribution of finds certainly attests to human activity. This contribution presents a trial of this approach, taking the Sounion area as its case study.

  • The Limits of Communication Between Mortals and Immortals in the Homeric Hymns
    Body Language: The Limits of Communication between Mortals and Immortals in the Homeric Hymns. Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bridget Susan Buchholz, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Sarah Iles Johnston Fritz Graf Carolina López-Ruiz Copyright by Bridget Susan Buchholz 2009 Abstract This project explores issues of communication as represented in the Homeric Hymns. Drawing on a cognitive model, which provides certain parameters and expectations for the representations of the gods, in particular, for the physical representations their bodies, I examine the anthropomorphic representation of the gods. I show how the narratives of the Homeric Hymns represent communication as based upon false assumptions between the mortals and immortals about the body. I argue that two methods are used to create and maintain the commonality between mortal bodies and immortal bodies; the allocation of skills among many gods and the transference of displays of power to tools used by the gods. However, despite these techniques, the texts represent communication based upon assumptions about the body as unsuccessful. Next, I analyze the instances in which the assumed body of the god is recognized by mortals, within a narrative. This recognition is not based upon physical attributes, but upon the spoken self identification by the god. Finally, I demonstrate how successful communication occurs, within the text, after the god has been recognized. Successful communication is represented as occurring in the presence of ritual references.

We meet Helen as a young girl, a princess fated by the extraordinary circumstances of her birth to become the most beautiful mortal woman on earth. Interestingly, the subject of these was not what lay around her in the Middle East, but the American west, which she had never set foot in. Clader argues that, if indeed Helen was worshiped as a goddess at Therapne, then her powers should be largely concerned with fertility, [83] or as a solar deity. In Euripides 's tragedy The Trojan Women , Helen is shunned by the women who survived the war and is to be taken back to Greece to face a death sentence. Now how can we help but like, even admire, such a character? Jan 25, Robert Case rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: lovers of myth, historical fiction and fans of Margaret George. The only human emotions allowed to be portrayed in this book are emotions that fit comfortably within the realm of modern paperback romance. King Proteus of Egypt , appalled that Paris had seduced his host's wife and plundered his host's home in Sparta, disallowed Paris from taking Helen to Troy. How can I capture the excitement, the dread of this event? The primary source for her legend is, of course, Homer.

  • 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.

Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.

  • Isocrates' Encomium of Helen and the Cult of Helen and Menelaus At
    Isocrates’ Encomium of Helen and the Cult of Helen and Menelaus at Therapnē Lowell Edmunds Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey [email protected] The main sources in Greek literature for the cult of Helen and/or Menelaus at Therapnē are Herodotus (6.61.3), Isocrates 10 (Encomium of Helen), and Pausanias (3.19.9-10). Isocrates is the one who speaks of joint-worship of Helen and Menelaus (10.63). He suggests, furthermore, that Helen was a goddess at Therapnē, and his Encomium is routinely cited for her divine status in this cult, and not only by scholars of myth and literature. Archaeologists, too, have appealed to the Encomium as a documentary source for their interpretation of the site, the so-called Menelaion (first by Polybius 5.18.4). Much disagreement prevails, within the two fields of classical studies just mentioned, and also between them.1 The present article does not attempt to adjudicate. It 1 Accounts of Helen in the history of Greek religion differ in the weight assigned Isoc. 10. Harder 2006, in the New Pauly, s.v. “Helena,” begins: “Goddess who was worshipped at various cult sites in and around Sparta, especially in the Menelaion in Therapnē,” citing Hdt., Paus., and Hsch. but not Isoc. Similarly, for the Therapnē cult Calame 1997 196-99 (also 194, 200-201, 232) builds his interpretation on Hdt., citing Isoc. 10 only in a n., for the joint worship of Helen and Menelaus (196 n. 331). Others, like Nilsson (cf. Edmunds 2007: 16, 20-24, which the present article amplifies), who see in Helen the avatar of a Minoan or “Old European” vegetation goddess, routinely cite Isoc.
