Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles authored by an ensemble of some of the world’s most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Part I provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. Part II looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity, in literature, feminist scholarship, and cinema, rounds out the work in Part III. The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but also to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition. Roger D. Woodard is the Andrew V.V.Raymond Professor of the Clas- sics and Professor of Linguistics at the University of Buffalo (The State University of New York).He has taught in the United States and Europe and is the author of a number of books on myth and ancient civiliza- tion, most recently Indo-European Sacred Space: Vedic and Roman Cult.

With numerous rivers and streams to nourish the fertile land, a large number of populous cities sprouted up in Asia Minor. This area was the centerpiece of Paul’s mission and the area where he spent the bulk of his time. The apostle’s ministry in the region was so productive that it could be said that “all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord” (Acts 19:10). The numerous churches established during this time continued to thrive through the bitter persecutions of the Roman Imperial period. Ignatius, a first century disciple of the apostle John, was arrested and brought to Rome for execution.

  • Optima Carme: a Reexamination of the Nurse in the Ciris By
    OPTIMA CARME: A REEXAMINATION OF THE NURSE IN THE CIRIS BY CASEY LYNN HUGHES Submitted to the graduate degree program in Classics and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Chairperson: Dr. Tara Welch Dr. Anthony Corbeill Dr. Pamela Gordon Date defended: 10 May 2017 The Thesis Committee for CASEY LYNN HUGHES certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: OPTIMA CARME: A REEXAMINATION OF THE NURSE IN THE CIRIS Chairperson: Dr. Tara Welch Date approved: 10 May 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the Ciris, a Pseudo-Vergilian epyllion of uncertain date, and analyzes the figure of the nurse Carme, a character who has largely been ignored in previous studies of the poem. The Ciris narrates the story of Scylla of Megara and how she betrayed her father, King Nisus, because of her love for Minos, King of Crete. While nurses are typical stock characters in Greek and Roman literature, I will show how the character of Carme becomes more than Scylla’s nurse. Although she embodies the qualities of many nurses from various genres before her, the Ciris poet also expands her role, briefly transforming an otherwise minor character into a second heroine. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Introduction 1 Chapter Two: Influential Nurses 11 Chapter Three: The Heroine Nurse 32 Conclusion 53 Bibliography 57 Appendix A 60 Appendix B 61 iv Chapter One Introduction The Ciris is a first century B.C. or first century A.D. epyllion about Scylla, who betrays her father Nisus, king of Megara, because of her love for Minos, king of Crete.

    Agoranomia: Studies in Money and Exchange Presented to John H. Kroll, pp. – © e American Numismatic Society Amyntas, Side, and the Pamphylian Plain P A R. M* It is a pleasure to be able to honor one who has done so much over the years to remind us that numismatics is but one aspect of the broader pursuit of historical research.¹ It has its own methods, of which he is an undisputed master, but its goals should be those of any historian of the ancient world. e present I offer will, I hope, be tting for a number of reasons. At one level, it deals with a problem with which Jack has had to wrestle in the eld of Athenian coinage: that of imitation, the borrowing of the types of one mint by a different issuing authority (in the case of Athenian imitations at some geographical remove). On the other hand, my subject is one of the rare but wonderful cases where the understanding of a decade or more of the history of an entire region may depend upon the correct understand- ing of a single die link. It is also a case where, for us to be able to appreciate its historical importance, we must move beyond basic numismatic method and begin to question what coinage meant to the individuals who made and used it. I. A We begin in the area of southern Asia Minor, during the period of Mark Antony’s imperium in the East.² In , a Parthian army penetrated deep into Asia Minor under the com- mand of Quintus Labienus, a former lieutenant of the tyrannicides Brutus and Cassius.
