  • A Stranger in a Strange Land: Medea in Roman Republican Tragedy1 Robert Cowan
    CHAPTER 3 A Stranger in a Strange Land: Medea in Roman Republican Tragedy1 Robert Cowan The first performance of a Roman version of a Greek tragedy in 240 BC was a momentous event. It was not the beginning of Roman appropriation of Greek culture- Rome had had contact and complex interaction with Greek communities in Magna Graecia and elsewhere from earliest times - but it was an important landmark in the relationship between Greece and Rome. 2 When a tragedy by Livius Andronicus was performed to celebrate victory over Carthage in the First Punic War, a central cultural practice of an alien culture was adopted, adapted, appropriated and transformed to serve as a central cultural practice of Rome. It is significant that the first tragedy celebrated a victory (albeit over Carthage), since the appropriation of Greek tragedy was an act of cultural conquest, as Roman actors marched into and occupied the stage of Attic drama. Yet the event was more complex than that description suggests. In Horace's phrase, captured Greece captured its savage master.3 The writing ofRoman tragedy in the Greek style was simultaneously an act of self-confident literary invasion and of cultural submission to the thrall of a more established theatrical tradition. In terms of literary history, this complex interrelationship marks the beginning of Latin literature, in conjunction with Livius's Latin, Saturnian version of the Odyssey. In terms of culture, the flourishing of Roman drama coincided with the massive expansion of Roman territory and the accompanying challenge to its sense of identity. Dramas were performed at public festivals, /rrdi scaenici, organized by state officials, the aediles, and sponsored by influential elites.

  • Introduction: Medea in Greece and Rome
    INTRODUCTION: MEDEA IN GREECE AND ROME A J. Boyle maiusque mari Medea malum. Seneca Medea 362 And Medea, evil greater than the sea. Few mythic narratives of the ancient world are more famous than the story of the Colchian princess/sorceress who betrayed her father and family for love of a foreign adventurer and who, when abandoned for another woman, killed in revenge both her rival and her children. Many critics have observed the com­ plexities and contradictions of the Medea figure—naive princess, knowing witch, faithless and devoted daughter, frightened exile, marginalised alien, dis­ placed traitor to family and state, helper-màiden, abandoned wife, vengeful lover, caring and filicidal mother, loving and fratricidal sister, oriental 'other', barbarian saviour of Greece, rejuvenator of the bodies of animals and men, killer of kings and princesses, destroyer and restorer of kingdoms, poisonous stepmother, paradigm of beauty and horror, demi-goddess, subhuman monster, priestess of Hecate and granddaughter of the sun, bride of dead Achilles and ancestor of the Medes, rider of a serpent-drawn chariot in the sky—complex­ ities reflected in her story's fragmented and fragmenting history. That history has been much examined, but, though there are distinguished recent exceptions, comparatively little attention has been devoted to the specifically 'Roman' Medea—the Medea of the Republican tragedians, of Cicero, Varro Atacinus, Ovid, the younger Seneca, Valerius Flaccus, Hosidius Geta and Dracontius, and, beyond the literary field, the Medea of Roman painting and Roman sculp­ ture. Hence the present volume of Ramus, which aims to draw attention to the complex and fascinating use and abuse of this transcultural heroine in the Ro­ man intellectual and visual world.

  • Women and Magic in Medieval Literature
    Women and Magic in Medieval Literature by Jessica Leigh In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in The Department of English State University of New York New Paltz, New York 12561 November 2019 WOMEN AND MAGIC IN MEDIEVAL LITERATURE Jessica Leigh State University of New York at New Paltz _______________________________________ We, the thesis committee for the above candidate for the Master of Arts degree, hereby recommend Acceptance of this thesis. _______________________________________ Daniel Kempton, Thesis Advisor Department of English, SUNY New Paltz _______________________________________ Cyrus Mulready, Thesis Committee Member Department of English, SUNY New Paltz Approved on 12/06/2019 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Master of Arts degree in English at the State University of New York at New Paltz Leigh 1 One of the defining features of medieval literature is its relationship with a particular tradition of magic. Arthurian chivalric romance stands among some of the most well-known and enduring medieval literary pieces, appearing as a staple of Renaissance medievalism, Victorian medievalism, the work of pre-Raphaelites, and in modern pop culture, as in programs like Merlin. The tropes of Arthurian chivalric romance remain major identifiers of the Middle Ages. Even other major medieval texts still largely known and commonly studied in schools and universities today incorporate elements of the Arthurian tradition, as in The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, or the wider chivalric tradition, as in the lais of Marie de France. The fictional worlds encompassed by medieval literature contain many legendary creatures, prophesied events, and magical items which give color and memorable character to these many tales.

  • An Examination of the Malleable Representation of Medea Master's
    An Examination of the Malleable Representation of Medea Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Professor Joel Christensen, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies by Angela Hurley May 2018 Copyright by Angela Hurley © 2018 Acknowledgements A special thank you to my advisor, Joel Christensen, whose help has been invaluable to me and to my work, and to Cheryl Walker who has spent countless hours discussing this topic with me. iii ABSTRACT An Examination of the Malleable Representation of Medea A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Angela Hurley As a persistent character in myth from early Greek epic to Imperial Rome and still into modern times, Medea’s representation shifts as a reflection of the society and author representing her. This thesis surveys the earliest versions of Medea’s myth to establish a basic narrative and furnish a range of variations. In particular, I examine the use of similar scenes in tragedies by Euripides and Seneca for contrasting representations of Medea. Individual analyses of Medea’s representation by each playwright demonstrate how her character is altered and what the activation of different mythical variants means in their cultural contexts. Medea’s gender plays a prominent role in her myth and this thesis analyzes its affect on her representation and perception. By demonstrating the manipulability of a specific mythical character based on a playwright’s preference or societal perception, this thesis explores the organic and dynamic nature of myth.

  • The Metamorphoses of Magic: the Tempest and a Tempest Read from the Perspective of the Metamorphoses
    6 / JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE AND AESTHETICS The Metamorphoses of Magic: The Tempest and A Tempest Read from the Perspective of the Metamorphoses Jeremy Patterson Abstract he supernatural almost always plays a role in human myth-making. As a specific instance of the supernatural, magic is a significant element in Ovid’s TMetamorphoses, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and Aimé Césaire’s A Tempest. These three works demonstrate the updating of magic in relation to sociopolitical concerns through the intertextuality of one speech. This article examines Medea’s speech on magic in the Metamorphoses, Shakespeare’s adaptation of it, and Césaire’s radical rejection and overhaul of it. For these writers, magic is a myth, or at least pales in significance when compared to human action and agency. None of the authors rejects the supernatural itself, but all of them focus their attention on what humans bring to the table, with or without magic. Keywords: Agency, Caribbean, Magic, Myth, Ovid, Shakespeare. 1. Introduction One of humanity’s most resilient cross-cultural myths is that of magic. This is not to say that the supernatural in general (or even the more specific term of magic) is necessarily a myth, but rather that the very possibility of the supernatural is integral to so much of human myth-making. The element of magic is often central to that process, and this article studies the significance of magic in three literary texts (Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and Aimé Césaire’s Une Tempête/A Tempest) with historical and cultural disparities, but which together demonstrate the development of the use of magic as a literary device.

  • The Revelation of the Corpse. Poetry, Fiction, and Magic 1
    THE REVELATION OF THE CORPSE. POETRY, FICTION, AND MAGIC 1. Necromancy, that is the evocation and questioning of a dead person in order to gain knowledge otherwise unattainable by the living, was a wide- spread practice from the remotest antiquity. It is well attested in the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, and it also appears in the Bible, in which the best-known case is the evocation of Samuel’s soul by Saul through the agency of the witch of Endor1. In the Greek and the Roman world necromancy is already attested in Homer – the famous Nevkuia of the eleventh book of the Odyssey – and its actual practice is documented down to the end of antiquity, though a social stigma was often attached to it, especially at Rome2. Hopfner, in his great work on Egyptian revelation magic, distinguished three types of necromancy, which he terms Greek-Homeric, ‘oriental’, and mixed3. According to him, the first and the third type are documented by the literary tradition. The first is represented by the necromancies we find in Homer, Aeschylus (in the Persians), Virgil (in the sixth book of the Aeneid), Seneca (in his Oedipus), and Silius Italicus (in the thirteenth book of the Punica). The mixed type is exemplified by the three necromancies we are going to examine, found in Lucan, Apuleius, and Heliodorus, and also by those appearing in Horace (in the eighth satire of the first book), Statius (in the fourth book of the Thebaid), and by several works of Lucian’s. Finally, the purely ‘oriental’ type is represented by the Greek magical papyri found in Egypt and collected by Preisendanz, and also by the defixiones, the curses and spells preserved on engraved sheets of metal4.

  • Breaking Boundaries: Medea As the “Barbarian” in Ovid's
    BREAKING BOUNDARIES: MEDEA AS THE “BARBARIAN” IN OVID’S HEROIDES VI AND XII Chun Liu Abstract: Medea is an intriguing figure in Greek mythology who has been portrayed in a variety of ways by ancient Greek and Roman authors. One dominating feature in all her stories is her identity as an outsider who enters the mainland Greece through her marriage to Jason. In the Heroides, the Roman poet Ovid depicts Medea in two of the single letters. Taking advantage of his audience’ familiarity with the mythical tradition and possible awareness of previous literary works, Ovid plays on the idea of Medea as an outsider: in Hypsipyle’s Letter VI, Medea is represented as a barbarian, while in Letter XII Medea mocks “Greek” values and practices. Through intertextual references to each other and to the prior literary tradition, Ovid is able to portray a complicated, self-reflective figure in these two letters, whose multiple potentials are brought out when confronted with a diversity of life experiences. In creating a figure who breaks all boundaries, Ovid the poet is also breaking the boundaries of texts and genres. Of the heroines of all 15 single letters in Ovid’s Heroides, Medea takes up a little more than the average for the letters as a whole. In addition to Heroides XII which is under her name, Hypsipyle, the heroine of Heroides VI, also dwells extensively on Medea who has just replaced her by the side of Jason. It is obvious that Ovid himself is fascinated by the figure of Medea, and he gives various representations of her in different works.
