Hum. Litt. Vol. 139 9 Introduction This volume is a collection of twenty-nine papers that had their preliminary presentation at the 9th International Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics (ICAGL9) that took place in Helsinki 28 August – 1 September, 2018. Thus they show exciting new lines of research in the field of Ancient Greek linguistics, where many approaches take advantage of current linguistic methods and theories. The Helsinki colloquium had two themes: 1) Language contact between Greek and other languages and 2) Linguistic research on original documents and manuscripts. The majority of the papers in this volume focus on these themes, many of them on both. However, Ancient Greek linguistic research from all angles, synchronically as well as diachronically studied, was welcomed. Consequently, all levels and many topics regarding language analysis – morphology, syntax, modality, discourse analysis, semantics as well as pragmatics – were presented in the contributions by scholars ranging from those beginning their academic careers to those with already well established names in the field. The richness of this kind of volume is in its ability to show the flourishing continuity of linguistics that uses primary sources of ancient languages and connects them to the current general linguistic discussion. This approach has brought the growing community of Ancient Greek linguists new information on the use of Ancient Greek, bringing it closer to the contemporary research on living languages with all their similarities, differences and variation. It has changed the way we view the description of the language by our traditional Greek grammars on various details. The volume is especially rich in providing linguistic analysis of many different aspects of Greek in contact, as attested in original document. The collection is therefore in the footsteps of such major edited volumes belonging to the sphere of Ancient Greek linguistics as Adams, Janse & Swain (2002), Evans & Obbink (2010), Papaconstantinou (2010), and Mullen and James (2012). It is heart- warming, however, to see how much the topic contents have expanded over the years since the previous, in many respects memorable, event of the Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics that took place in Rome in 2015, as well as the many more meetings centred around the linguistic research of Ancient Greek since then in various locations. All this research has also been or will be published in the future in several editions, displaying the current state of the art of Ancient Greek linguistics ranging from archaic etymologies through Homeric evidentials 10ii LEIWO, VIERROS & DAHLGREN, Introduction to Postclassical Greek’s phonology. With all this rich research literature, it is the Golden Age for those that treat Ancient Greek as any of the living languages still spoken, analysed within the general linguistic framework. We are proud to have played a small part in bringing this volume with its many interesting research articles for the Ancient Greek linguistics community to enjoy.

Vol. 139 1 The accusative of respect in Homeric Greek as evidence for language contact Paola Dardano 1 Introduction and overview1 1.1 Definition of “accusative of respect” One of the most famous features of Homeric Greek is the widespread use of a construction including an intransitive predicate and a noun in the accusative case that restricts the force of the predicate to a part or attribute of the subject: (1) a. ὃ δὲ φρένα τέρπετ᾽ ἀκούων. (Il. 1.474) ‘and his heart was glad (lit. he was glad with respect of his heart), as he heard.’2 b. μὲν Μενέλαος ὑπείρεχεν εὐρέας ὤμους (Il. 3.210) ‘Menelaus overtopped

  • The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D
    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

  • St. Michael and Attis
    St. Michael and Attis Cyril MANGO Δελτίον XAE 12 (1984), Περίοδος Δ'. Στην εκατονταετηρίδα της Χριστιανικής Αρχαιολογικής Εταιρείας (1884-1984)• Σελ. 39-62 ΑΘΗΝΑ 1986 ST. MICHAEL AND ATTIS Twenty years ago, when I was working on the apse mosaics of St. Sophia at Constantinople, I had ample opportunity to contemplate what is surely one of the most beautiful works of Byzantine art, I mean the image of the archangel Gabriel, who stands next to the enthroned Theotokos (Fig. 1). Gabriel is dressed in court costume; indeed, one can affirm that his costume is imperial, since he is wearing red buskins and holding a globe, the symbol of universal dominion. Yet neither the Bible nor orthodox doctrine as defined by the Fathers provides any justification for portraying an archangel in this guise; no matter how great was his dignity in heaven, he remained a minister and a messenger1. Only God could be described as the equivalent of the emperor. How was it then that Byzantine art, which showed extreme reluctance to give to Christ, the pambasileus, any visible attributes of royalty other than the throne, granted these very attributes to archangels, who had no claim to them? An enquiry I undertook at the time (and left unpublished) suggested the following conclusions: 1. The Byzantines themselves, I mean the medieval Byzantines, could offer no reasonable explanation of the iconography of archangels and seemed to be unaware of its meaning. On the subject of the globe I found only two texts. One was an unedited opuscule by Michael Psellos, who, quite absurdly, considered it to denote the angels' rapidity of movement; "for", he says, "the sphere is such an object that, touching as it does only a tiny portion of the ground, is able in less than an instant to travel in any direction"2.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Zoroastrian Elements in the Syncretism That Prevailed in Asia Minor Following the Achaemenian Conquests KERSEY H
    Zoroastrian Elements in the Syncretism that Prevailed in Asia Minor Following the Achaemenian Conquests KERSEY H. ANTIA Introduction Since the total population of Zoroastrians in the entire world today is a meager 130,000 at best, it is hard to conceive that Zoroastrianism not only prospered in Iran but also acted as a very prominent factor in the syncretism that prevailed in Asia Minor from the time it became an integral part of the Achaemenian empire to the downfall of the Sasanian empire. It is generally acknowledged that Semitic Armenia was Persianised in the Achaemenian times, a process which lasted up to the Sasanian times. Strabo. (XI.532) reports that Mithra and Anahita were especially worshiped by the Armenians. It was also in the Achaemenian times that the Jews first came into contact with the Persians. The Zoroastrian concepts heretofore unknown to the Jews such as satan, “the angel of wisdom”, and “the holy spirit” became common features of Jewish beliefs, along with many others. Moreover, the Achaemenian kings welcomed Greek scientists, physicians and Phoenician explorers and artisans at their courts. The conquest of Iran by Alexander the Great further exposed the Greeks to Iranian influence just as it exposed Iran to Greek Influence. Alexander married an Iranian princess, Roxane and he arranged for a mass marriage of 50,000 of his Greek soldiers with Iranian women at Susa after his return from India. Such a mass phenomenon must have left its mark on the fusion of the two races. With the Greeks came their gods represented in human forms, a concept so sacrilegious to the Iranians.

  • Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia
    CHRISTINA SKELTON Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia The Ancient Greek dialect of Pamphylia shows extensive influence from the nearby Anatolian languages. Evidence from the linguistics of Greek and Anatolian, sociolinguistics, and the histor- ical and archaeological record suggest that this influence is due to Anatolian speakers learning Greek as a second language as adults in such large numbers that aspects of their L2 Greek became fixed as a part of the main Pamphylian dialect. For this linguistic development to occur and persist, Pamphylia must initially have been settled by a small number of Greeks, and remained isolated from the broader Greek-speaking community while prevailing cultural atti- tudes favored a combined Greek-Anatolian culture. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Greek-speaking world of the Archaic and Classical periods (ca. ninth through third centuries BC) was covered by a patchwork of different dialects of Ancient Greek, some of them quite different from the Attic and Ionic familiar to Classicists. Even among these varied dialects, the dialect of Pamphylia, located on the southern coast of Asia Minor, stands out as something unusual. For example, consider the following section from the famous Pamphylian inscription from Sillyon: συ Διϝι̣ α̣ ̣ και hιιαροισι Μανεˉ[ς .]υαν̣ hελε ΣελυW[ι]ιυ̣ ς̣ ̣ [..? hι†ια[ρ]α ϝιλ̣ σιι̣ ọς ̣ υπαρ και ανιιας̣ οσα περ(̣ ι)ι[στα]τυ ̣ Wοικ[. .] The author would like to thank Sally Thomason, Craig Melchert, Leonard Neidorf and the anonymous reviewer for their valuable input, as well as Greg Nagy and everyone at the Center for Hellenic Studies for allowing me to use their library and for their wonderful hospitality during the early stages of pre- paring this manuscript.

Superimposed and juxtaposed graphs (size versus time) help to vis- ualize the relative size and location in time of these empires. Size-time integral, maximum stable size, adulthood date, and duration are defined operationally and are listed for 20 empires. A criterion is given for distinctness of successive empires. The size-time integral is a direct measure of an empire’s impact on history insofar as that impact depends on sheer size and duration. The integral is largest for the Chinese Hsia-Shang, Egyptian New, Old, and Middle, Assyrian New, and Hittite empires. A world-wide territorial concentration index is tabu- lated. It increases during the period considered from 0.08 to 1.4% of the world dry land area. The general objective of this study is to analyze recurring patterns in growth and decline of empire areas throughout history. The specific objective of this paper is to report and to analyze detailed data for the period ranging from 3000 to 600 B.C.

  • Separating Fact from Fiction in the Aiolian Migration
    hesperia yy (2008) SEPARATING FACT Pages399-430 FROM FICTION IN THE AIOLIAN MIGRATION ABSTRACT Iron Age settlementsin the northeastAegean are usuallyattributed to Aioliancolonists who journeyed across the Aegean from mainland Greece. This articlereviews the literary accounts of the migration and presentsthe relevantarchaeological evidence, with a focuson newmaterial from Troy.

Scholarlyassessments of habitation in thenortheast Aegean during the EarlyIron Age are remarkably consistent: most settlements are attributed toAiolian colonists who had journeyed across the Aegean from Thessaly, Boiotia,Akhaia, or a combinationof all three.1There is no uniformityin theancient sources that deal with the migration, although Orestes and his descendantsare named as theleaders in mostaccounts, and are credited withfounding colonies over a broadgeographic area, including Lesbos, Tenedos,the western and southerncoasts of theTroad, and theregion betweenthe bays of Adramyttion and Smyrna(Fig. 1).
