EXPLICATIO. There was probably some historical basis for this Fabie. 'The beauty and richness of the kingdom of Cepheus the Ethiopian prince, may have presented strong temptations for piratical emprize, and possibly the car- rying offsome maidens of the country. Hence, it would be easy, in the language of metaphor to say, that the pride of Cassiope, in preferring herself to the Nereides, had caused a monster to be sent by Neptune to ravage the coast. The piratical expedition itself, its leader, or the ship which bore the buccaneers, may, then, be appropriatel)^ regarded as a sea-monster. A piratical ship may be adumbrated in the very compari- son of the form and advance of the monster to the size and force of a ship Ecce velut navis praefixo concita rostro Sulcat aquas, juvenum sudantibus acta lacertis : Sic fera dimotis impulsu pectoris undis. Andromeda may be considered as a personification of the virgins of the country, or may have been the daughter of the prince of the country, and have been promised in marriage to appease the cupidity of the pirate leader.

    396 a Summer in Phrygia: I

    396 A SUMMER IN PHRYGIA: I, A SUMMER IN PHRYGIA: I. [PLATE XII.] DURING the summer of 1897 I had the opportunity of making extensive exploration in Phrygia, and the following paper gives, as a first instalment, an account of the more important results of the season's work there. I have given a map (Plate XII) based on the Ottoman Railway Survey to illustrate the watercourses of the Laodiceian district, but I regret that a map to show the new sites has had to be deferred. At the outset I must make acknow- ledgment of the valuable help I have received from Prof. W. M. Ramsay, who has kindly sent me some criticisms and suggestions. For the numerous references to his volumes on Phrygia no apology is necessary. Every student of its history must use his brilliant pages as the basis of his study; and the work of the explorer in the districts which they cover must naturally be to endeavour to amplify the information, and to confirm or correct the views, which he finds there. Few parts of Phrygia have been so frequently traversed as the Lycos valley with the adjacent Carian and Lydian frontiers: yet anyone who studies this district will be astonished at the number of unsolved problems which it presents. To begin with the Carian borderland and go round the valley of the Lycos, the first problem that confronts us is the site of KIDRAMOS, a city without annals, but important enough to possess a coinage of its own, at least from the time of Augustus to that of Julia Maesa.

Statius’ acknowledgements of his literary debts, in particular Virgil, encourages, if not demands, an intertextual reading of his poetry. As such, my first chapter, Literary Models, looks at how Statius engages with his epic models, namely Homer, Virgil, Lucan and Ovid, but also how he draws upon the rich literary Theban tradition. Like all Roman poets, Statius is highly self-conscious of his craft, and draws upon Hellenistic and lyric models to enrich his epic and define himself as an exemplary poet. I will argue that the proem offers a useful lens for analysing the Thebaid and introduces his epic in exemplary fashion, in the sense that he draws attention to the concept of opening his epic with the use of traditional tropes (namely, the invocation of inspiring force; a recusatio; an imperial encomium and a synopsis of the poem’s narrative).

Prof. Charles Gates August 2019 There are upwards of sixty different cult epithets for the Phrygian goddess Meter in Central Anatolia alone during the Roman Imperial period. Considering that only three or four of her epithets are known from the Hellenistic period, the contrast is striking. Moreover, many of the epithets tend to be epichoric, so that in essence, her names can change from one valley to the next. In some cases, merely hearing an epithet is enough to bring a certain part of central Anatolia to mind. From this, a natural question arises. Why was there a need for so many local Meter cults in Asia Minor? The goddess Meter, called Magna Mater by the Romans, had been adopted into the Roman Pantheon in 204 BC; but could she, although indigenous to Phrygia, no longer meet the religious needs of her homeland’s people? This thesis approaches these questions by two primary means.

I. THE frontier of Pisidia, where it adjoins Lycaonia, is placed wrongly in my Histor. Geogr. Chs. Q and V. The district was little known, when I wrote: I had traversed it hurriedly in 1882, 1886, and 1890, in each case only on a single hasty route. The excursion of 1882 resulted in placing Anaboura and Neapolis.2 No name was discovered in the excursions of 1886 and 1890. Prof. Sterrett explored the district very carefully in 1884 and 1885 ; but the numerous inscriptions, which he found, unluckily did not contain important topographical in- dications, and he assigned a position much too far north for the city of Pappa-Tiberiopolis.3 I shared his view on this critical point, with the result that many other towns were drawn away far north of their true situation, because they stood in some relation to Pappa, and when it seemed to lie away in the north, they had to be placed correspondingly.
