Gutzwiller Abstract This analysis will look at the narration and structure of Plutarch’s Agesilaos. The project will offer insight into the methods by which the narrator constructs and presents the story of the life of a well-known historical figure and how his narrative techniques effects his reliability as a historical source. There is an abundance of exceptional recent studies on Plutarch’s interaction with and place within the historical tradition, his literary and philosophical influences, the role of morals in his Lives, and his use of source material, however there has been little scholarly focus—but much interest—in the examination of how Plutarch constructs his narratives to tell the stories they do.

  • Hades: Cornucopiae, Fertility and Death1
    HADES: CORNUCOPIAE, FERTILITY AND DEATH1 Diana Burton (Victoria University of Wellington) The depiction of Hades in myth is fairly unrelenting in its gloom, and this is very much the most influential version today, as may be seen by the incarnations of Hades in modern movies; here he appears as pallid and miserable, or fiery and vengeful, but is never actually seen as enjoying himself. Hades shares the characteristics of his realm. And Hades’ domicile is seen as dim, dank and generally lacking in those things that give the greatest pleasure to the living – food, drink, sex. The fact that other gods do not enter Hades has not only to do with the antipathy between death and immortality, but also emphasises the absence of things that are under their control: Aphrodite’s love and sex, Dionysos’ wine and good cheer, the food given by Demeter. Hades is notoriously the god who receives no cult. This is not entirely correct, though it almost is. Pausanias, who is as usual our best source for this sort of thing, lists several examples of statues or altars in Greece which seem to imply some kind of cult activity, usually in someone else’s sanctuary. So for example Hades has a statue along with those of Kore and Demeter in a temple on the road near Mycenae; he has an image in the precinct of the Erinyes in Athens; he has an altar under the name of Klymenos (whom Pausanias specifically equates with Hades) in Hermione in the Argolid.2 And there are a few other places.3 The one real exception seems to have been in Elis, where he had a temple and sanctuary; although even here, the temple was opened only once a year – because, Pausanias supposes, ‘men too go down only once to Hades’ – and only the priest was permitted to enter.4 It is interesting to note that Pausanias specifically says that the Eleans are the only ones to worship (τιμσιν) Hades – which makes one wonder how he would classify the sacrifices to Klymenos.

  • Dedications for the Hero Ptoios in Akraiphia, Boeotia’
    Giovagnorio, F. (2018); ‘Dedications for the Hero Ptoios in Akraiphia, Boeotia’ Rosetta 22: 18 - 39 http://www.rosetta.bham.ac.uk/issue22/Giovagnorio.pdf Dedications for the Hero Ptoios in Akraiphia, Boeotia Francesca Giovagnorio Alma Mater Studiorum Bologna Abstract The paper will present all the epigraphic evidence connected to this cult, in order to understand his evolution during the centuries and, above all, his persistence in the sacred sphere even after the introduction of the cult of Apollo in the principal area of the city of Akraiphia, called Perdikovrysi. The analysis of the inscriptions will be accompanied by a short section focused on the description of the archaeological site and the literary traditions about the genealogy of the hero. This paper aims to provide a preliminary analysis of the hero Ptoios cult in Akraiphia, examined on the basis of the all the votive dedications found, and studied with a brief commentary. Keywords: votive inscriptions, Boeotia, hero Ptoios, community, Akraiphia. 18 Introduction This paper will examine the sanctuary complex of the hero Ptoios inspecting, in particular, the epigraphic production of the city of Akraphaia in Boeotia during the Late Archaic period, in order to divulge the importance of the hero in this city and to understand its symbology regarding the socio-political situation of the city at the time. The inscriptions, which will be presented below, have been examined previously with the aim of this paper being, in fact, to present them all in a unitary perspective, to make clear the formularity of dedication and also the ‘manipulation’ of the epigraphy in relation to the local and regional political dynamics.

  • Political Parthenoi: the Social and Political Significance of Female Performance in Archaic Greece
    Political Parthenoi: The Social and Political Significance of Female Performance in Archaic Greece Submitted by James William Smith to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, February 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. i Abstract This thesis will explore how social and political conditions in archaic Greece affected the composition of poetry for female choral performance. My primary source material will be the poetry of Alcman and Sappho. I examine the evidence suggesting that poems by both Alcman and Sappho commented on political issues, using this as a basis to argue that women in archaic Greece may have had a more vocal public presence that has previously been imagined. Rather than viewing female performance as a means of discussing purely feminine themes or reinforcing the idea of a disempowered female gender, I argue that the poetry of Alman and Sappho gives parthenoi an authoritative public voice to comment on issues in front of the watching community. Part of this authority is derived from the social value of parthenoi, who can act as economically and socially valuable points of exchange between communities, but I shall also be looking at how traditional elements of female performance genre were used to enhance female authority in archaic Sparta and Lesbos.

  • Ὑμετέρη Ἀρχῆθεν Γενεή: Redefining Ethnic Identity in the Cult Origins and Mythical Aetiologies of Rhianus’ Ethnographical Poetry
    Graeco-Latina Brunensia 24 / 2019 / 1 https://doi.org/10.5817/GLB2019-1-13 ὑμετέρη ἀρχῆθεν γενεή: Redefining Ethnic Identity in the Cult Origins and Mythical Aetiologies of Rhianus’ Ethnographical Poetry Manolis Spanakis (University of Crete) ČLÁNKY / ARTICLES Abstract This is a meticulous survey about foundation stories, cult origins and mythical Aetia in Rhianus’ ethnographic poetry. During the Hellenistic period, interest in aetiology became very strong and there was an increasing focus on obscure and local stories from all over the Greek world and beyond. Harder (2012: p. 25) claims that as “the world became larger the need for a shared Greek past became stronger as well”. Rhianus of Crete was a Hellenistic epic poet and gram- marian of the second half of the third century BC. My contribution aims to give a fresh reread- ing of the poetic fragments and suggests that Rhianus chose places and myths that Greeks of the third century BC, and especially immigrants to Egypt, Syria or Italy, would enjoy reading because they were reminded of mainland Greece and their Greek identity. Both genealogy and aetiology leap from the crucial beginning, be that a legendary founder or one-time ritual event, to the present with a tendency to elide all time in between. The powerful aetiological drive of Rhianus’ ethnography works to break down distance and problematize the nature of epic time. In Rhianus’ aetiologies, we find a strong connection between the narrative present and the mythical past as a “betrayal” of the Homeric tradition. The absolute devotion to the past in Homer collapses in Rhianus’ aetiology, where we find a sense of cultural continuation.

  • Thebes and the Boeotian Constitutions
    THE DANCING FLOOR OF WAR A study of Theban imperialism within Boeotia, ca. 525–386BCE Alex Wilson A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Classics 2013 School of Art History, Classics and Religious Studies THE DANCING FLOOR OF WAR: A STUDY OF THEBAN IMPERIALISM WITHIN BOEOTIA, CA. 525–386BCE This thesis is a reexamination of Thebes’ relationship with the neighbouring Greek poleis (city states) of Boeotia in early Greek history, including but not limited to the so-called Boeotian League or Confederation. Although it is generally acknowledged that Thebes was the dominant city of Boeotia in the Archaic and Classical Periods, scholarly opinion has varied on how to classify Thebes’ dominance. At some point in the period considered here, the Boeotian states gathered themselves together into a regional collective, a confederation. The features of this union (in which Thebes was the leading participant) obscure Thebes’ ambitions to subjugate other Boeotian states. I argue here that it is appropriate to define Thebes’ relationship with Boeotia as imperialist. I begin with a methodological consideration of the application of imperialism to ancient Greek history. The thesis considers in the first chapters three stages of development in Theban imperialism: firstly an early period (ca. 525) in which Thebes encouraged nascent Boeotian ethnic identity, promoting its own position as the natural leader of Boeotia. Secondly, a period (ca. 525–447) in which a military alliance of Boeotian states developed under the leadership of Thebes. Thirdly, a period which was the earliest true form of the Boeotian Confederation, contrary to scholarship which pushes the date of the Boeotian collective government back to the sixth century.

  • Chapter 4 Federal Sanctuaries
    CHAPTER 4 FEDERAL SANCTUARIES Introduction Every collective in Greek antiquity had a religious dimension. The identity of groups as diverse in size, function and orientation as the Delphian Labyads, Athenian Boule and the Delian League was expressed at some level through cult. Federal leagues were no different. In this chapter, I consider the two major federal sanctuaries of Thessaly, those of Athena Itonia at Philia and Zeus Eleutherios at Larissa, together with the cult conducted therein.1 I designate as federal sanctuaries those sanctuaries which received some form of symbolic or material investment by a koinon or related federal structure. The investment could take forms as diverse as the publication of league documents in a particular sanctuary or federal sponsorship of a religious festival. There is a temporal dimension to this investment, however: I am most concerned with those sanctuaries that show evidence of repeated investment through time. These sanctuaries need not be “capitols” in any modern sense,2 nor should they be freighted with the symbolism of the Archaic ethnos.3 They were, quite simply, cult places where federal identity was expressed.4 In theory, any sanctuary could become, i.e., could be constructed as, a federal sanctuary: In practice, very few did. 1 I also consider the substantial evidence that the sanctuary of Athena Itonia at Iton was federal. In Chapter 5, I will discuss the possibility that the sanctuary of Ennodia at Pherai was federal. 2 For a useful discussion of the problem of the federal capitol, cf. Mackil 2003: 134-8. 3 Cf. Morgan 2003: passim.
