"But football, you know, is something that allows the people all over the world to watch with excitement and enjoyment.

Il convegno ha visto la partecipazione di ventinove relatori, provenienti da dieci differenti nazioni, e le tematiche affrontate hanno spaziato, come d’abitudine, da Omero e dal diritto greco più antico all’epoca ellenistica e all’Egit- to greco-romano. Particolarmente apprezzata dai convenuti è stata la struttura del Simposio, che ha previsto, per quasi tutti i temi trattati, gli interventi programmati di due differenti relatori: un primo, che esponeva un’ampia relazione sull’argomento assegnato; un secondo, che offriva una più breve replica volta a porre in luce gli aspetti più meritevoli di interesse sollevati dalla relazione. La prima sessione del convegno, la mattina del 5 settembre, sotto la presidenza di J.

  • Anteros: on Friendship Between Rivals and Rivalry Between Friends
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Anteros: On Friendship Between Rivals and Rivalry Between Friends Dror Post Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Dror Post All rights reserved Abstract Anteros: On Friendship Between Rivals and Rivalry Between Friends Dror Post This dissertation is about friendship and rivalry and, particularly, about the connection between them. The main argument of the dissertation is that friendship, philia, and rivalry, eris, are interconnected and that the failure to recognize this interconnection leads to violence and destruction. More specifically, I argue that every philia, friendship, contains elements of eris, of difference and disagreement, and that the failure to provide a space for these elements within the philia relationship results in the collapse of the friendship. Similarly, I argue that every eris, rivalry, contains elements of philia, of similarity and communality, and that the failure to recognize these elements leads to violent and destructive results. I use the term ‘philia’ here in a broad sense that includes different interpersonal relations like love, friendship, cooperation, solidarity, sympathy, etc., which are endowed with some gravity force that draws individuals close to each other and links them together. Likewise, I use the term ‘eris’ here in a wide-ranging sense that includes various interpersonal relations like hate, rivalry, hostility antipathy, etc., which are endowed with a sort of repulsive force that draws individuals away from each other and divides them.

  • Wandering Poets and the Dissemination of Greek Tragedy in the Fifth
    Wandering Poets and the Dissemination of Greek Tragedy in the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BC Edmund Stewart Abstract This work is the first full-length study of the dissemination of Greek tragedy in the earliest period of the history of drama. In recent years, especially with the growth of reception studies, scholars have become increasingly interested in studying drama outside its fifth century Athenian performance context. As a result, it has become all the more important to establish both when and how tragedy first became popular across the Greek world. This study aims to provide detailed answers to these questions. In doing so, the thesis challenges the prevailing assumption that tragedy was, in its origins, an exclusively Athenian cultural product, and that its ‘export’ outside Attica only occurred at a later period. Instead, I argue that the dissemination of tragedy took place simultaneously with its development and growth at Athens. We will see, through an examination of both the material and literary evidence, that non-Athenian Greeks were aware of the works of Athenian tragedians from at least the first half of the fifth century. In order to explain how this came about, I suggest that tragic playwrights should be seen in the context of the ancient tradition of wandering poets, and that travel was a usual and even necessary part of a poet’s work. I consider the evidence for the travels of Athenian and non-Athenian poets, as well as actors, and examine their motives for travelling and their activities on the road. In doing so, I attempt to reconstruct, as far as possible, the circuit of festivals and patrons, on which both tragedians and other poetic professionals moved.

  • Birth of the Olympic Games
    Birth of the Olympic Games Vase painting showing an Olympic horse race Commissioned by the Pan-Macedonian Association, Inc. (USA) Developed by Dr. Evangeline D. Harris Stefanakis, Lauren Rachel Margolis, Laurette Hartigan, and Kevin Staszowskiat The Evelyn G. Pitcher Curriculum Laboratory Tufts University, Spring 2004 Dear visitor to the Athens 2004 Olympics, The Pan-Macedonian Association, Inc. (USA) proudly welcomes all of you to the birthplace of the Olympic Games, Hellas (Greece). We commissioned this booklet to present you with a short, easy- to-read, historical perspective of the birth of the Olympic Games in antiquity. It includes the rules of participating in the Games, the Olympic Spirit of noble competition that expects all athletes to reach the edge and, possibly, even go beyond the edge of their physical abilities, and last the Olympic Truce, the observance of which was mandatory for all Greek City-States, whose athletes were the only ones allowed to compete in the Games. Finally, we have compiled characteristic, yet incomplete, tables that show the names of some Olympic winners of the Ancient Games, listed by event and by place of origin. We sincerely hope that the Olympic Spirit and the Olympic Truce will once again embrace all participating nations before, during and after Athens 2004. To be sure, this will make us all winners! We are most appreciative for your presence here in Greece as we are appreciative of the many individuals and organizations that helped us offer this commemorative booklet to you. Let it be a lasting reminder that our ultimate goal for all of us, is to bring universal peace to the family of man through noble competition.
