Brulé est associé à ce numéro de Kernos d’une autre manière encore. En septembre 2004, il a organisé, avec ses collègues de l’Université de Rennes 2, la troisième Celtic Conference in Classics que patronnait également Anton Powell. Cette large rencontre comptait quatre panels de discussion. Le thème de l’un d’entre eux étant « Le mythe grec », il nous a semblé que Kernos était un lieu adéquat pour la publication d’un certain nombre de communications présentées dans ce cadre. Les discussions furent fécondes et animées, mais l’ensemble n’aurait pas produit un volume thématiquement cohérent. La poikilia d’une revue annuelle lui convenait davantage et nous sommes heureux d’associer cette abondante moisson aux articles de varia déjà prévus. J’en profite pour remercier nos collègues de Rennes, Pierre Brulé et Laurent Piolot, de leur participation active à la préparation de ce numéro plus volumineux que d’habitude, ainsi que du soutien financier du Crescam. 3 À l’heure où ce volume de Kernos sortira de presse, le Xe colloque du CIERGA aura tenu ses assises à l’Université libre de Bruxelles (cf. infra pour le programme) et les actes de la rencontre précédente de Fribourg seront sortis de presse (Kernos, supplément 15). 4 Le 16e supplément sera fait d’un ouvrage mis au point à l’Université de Heidelberg par Eftychia Stavrianopoulou, dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche sur la dynamique des rituels. L’ensemble des conférences, présentées en anglais, seront ici rassemblées sous le titre Ritual and Communication. La publication est prévue pour le tout début de l’année 2006. 5 Les chroniques épigraphique, archéologique et bibliographique sont toujours bien présentes à la fin du volume, mais nous avons renoncé à la Chronique des rencontres scientifiques sous une forme « papier ». Nous espérons créer bientôt les conditions d’un accès électronique aux annonces des rencontres qui intéressent les lecteurs de Kernos, au départ du site de la revue. N’hésitez pas à consulter dès à présent ce site1 d’où les Kernos, 18 | 2005 7 commandes peuvent être passées, avec la possibilité commode d’un paiement par carte de crédit.

Kernos, 18 | 2005 8 Hommage Kernos, 18 | 2005 9 Hommage à Pierre Lévêque Pierre Brulé 1 Pierre Lévêque est mort le 5 mars 2004 à 82 ans. 2 Il avait toujours surpris par une activité débordante qui le portait aux quatre coins du monde, franchissant avec une aisance déconcertante latitudes et méridiens. Robert Étienne lui disait : « Notre oikoumène suffit à peine à borner tes errances. » Il en allait de même avec siècles et millénaires et les terrains d’enquête. « On me reproche, » m’écrit-il un jour, « mon mysticisme de la recherche. » Mysticisme ? Je ne sais pas. Mais, quelle gourmandise ! Pour ne parler que d’histoire ancienne, quelle variété d’intérêts il a toujours montrée, tirant jubilation intellectuelle aussi bien des dévaluations à Rome que de la sculpture – qu’elle vienne de Délos, de Thasos, de Delphes, de Rhodes ou du Portugal… –, du commerce de l’étain que des poètes alexandrins, des Hittites que des Doriens. Il vibrait d’une libido sciendi qui le faisait embrasser toujours de nouveaux projets, lancer de nouvelles enquêtes, accueillir de nouveaux chercheurs. Son goût pour les périples le conduisait en Géorgie, en Grande Grèce, mais aussi au Brésil, au Canada et au Japon. Il n’était pas l’homme des petits cantons – son Érétrie était « Rameuse » –, son regard périphérique (là où une aventure est toujours en réserve) l’attirait vers des marges, de la Gaule aux royaumes gréco- bactriens et gréco-indiens; ainsi s’explique sans doute aussi son intérêt toujours vif pour les phénomènes de colonisation – encore le voyage. Le voyage, c’est cette autre appétence pour la pensée des autres. Ainsi, à partir de la fin des années 1970, vient s’ajouter cette autre invitation à l’aventure, celle qui lui a fait saisir l’Antiquité classique à travers le miroir des expériences d’autres sociétés1. Et, au sein de la culture grecque elle-même, c’est avec Pierre Vidal-Naquet qu’il mit au point une telle image réfractée, donnant un grand coup de jeune à des Clisthène et Épaminondas. 3 Forts de notre décalage chronologique, nous voyons dans ses années de formation et dans l’entrée de Pierre Lévêque dans le concert des historiens de l’Antiquité le clair présage de ces développements tous azimuts : cet éclectisme, qui était aussi un cosmopolitisme, cette curiosité toujours prête à se saisir d’un nouvel objet.

  • Time and Religion in Hellenistic Athens: an Interpretation of the Little Metropolis Frieze
    Time and Religion in Hellenistic Athens: An Interpretation of the Little Metropolis Frieze. Monica Haysom School of History, Classics and Archaeology Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Newcastle University, November 2015. ABSTRACT Two stones that form a part of the spolia on the Little Metropolis church (Aghios Eleutherios) in central Athens consist of a frieze depicting a calendar year. The thesis begins with a Preface that discusses the theoretical approaches used. An Introduction follows which, for reference, presents the 41 images on the frieze using the 1932 interpretation of Ludwig Deubner. After evaluating previous studies in Chapter 1, the thesis then presents an exploration of the cultural aspects of time in ancient Greece (Chapter 2). A new analysis of the frieze, based on ancient astronomy, dates the frieze to the late Hellenistic period (Chapter 3); a broad study of Hellenistic calendars identifies it as Macedonian (Chapter 4), and suggests its original location and sponsor (Chapter 5). The thesis presents an interpretation of the frieze that brings the conclusions of these chapters together, developing an argument that includes the art, religion and philosophy of Athenian society contemporary with the construction of the frieze. Given the date, the Macedonian connection and the link with an educational establishment, the final Chapter 6 presents an interpretation based not on the addition of individual images but on the frieze subject matter as a whole. This chapter shows that understanding the frieze is dependent on a number of aspects of the world of artistic connoisseurship in an elite, educated audience of the late Hellenistic period.

  • From Gennetai to Curiales
    FROM GENNETAI TO CURIALES (PLATE 2) A MONG THE AGORA INSCRIPTIONS that of the Gephyraeifrom the time of Mark Antony seems to connect with its background and promise the problems of the 6th century B.C. and those of the Late Roman Empire. It leads in both direc- tions if one considers the questions it raises, first about the Athenian military-political organization before the Reforms of Cleisthenes, secondly about the new kind of genos found in Roman Athens, one which may have had an unexpected similarity of purpose with the curiae of North African cities. The question finally leads the student into the meaning of the word curiales. The title " From Gennetai to Curiales " best ex- presses the subject, which is both a new edition of a well-publishedbut important text and an investigation into a basic early institution in the background and into the his- tory of an idea down to the late 3rd or 4th century after Christ. I. THE ATHENIAN ORGANIZATION OF THE 6TH CENTURY B.C. At least one piece of evidence for the levy in the 6th century has not previously been weighed despite the prevailing opinion that all the evidence on early Athens has been exhaustively studied. Recently A. M. Snodgrass in several works, M. Detienne in his article " La phalange " among J.-P. Vernant's Problemes de la guerre en Gr&ce ancienne, Paris-the Hague 1968, and R. Drews in a penetrating study of the first tyrants, Historia 21, 1972, pp. 129-144, have filled out the stages in the hoplite revolu- tion but have left room for a further treatment of the change from a hoplite elite and epikouroi to a hoplite demos in Attica.

The year is 486 Re., Xerxes hasjust succeeded to the Persian throne, and he is under pressure to undertake a new expedition against Greece, after the failure of Datis and Artaphernes, sent out in 490 by Xerxes' father Darius, at Marathon. Among those urging him on are ambassadors from the ruling dynasty of Thessaly, the Aleuadai, who would later be counted as infamous Medizers during the invasion of 480. Then there was Hippias, son of the Athenian Tyrant Peisistratos and later Tyrant himself. He had been driven out of Athens over twenty years before, in 510, had fled first to Thessaly (where he no doubt was received by the Aleuadai), and eventually made his way to Persia. We do not know his exact year of birth, but he could scarcely have been less than 80 by now1; 60 years before, as a young man, he had accompanied his father's third and most successful seizure of power in Athens2.

  • Women on the Acropolis and Mental Mapping: Comic Body-Politics in a City in Crisis, Or Ritual and Metaphor in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata Anton Bierl*
    Women on the Acropolis and Mental Mapping: Comic Body-Politics in a City in Crisis, or Ritual and Metaphor in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata Anton Bierl* Introduction Lysistrata represents a real ‘crisis on stage’. The play was produced in 411 BCE, probably at the Lenaia festival. We are in the middle of the Pe- loponnesian War, already twenty years after the outbreak of the devas- tating struggle between Athens and Sparta. Both cities had emerged as the dominant Greek powers from the Persian Wars (490 –478 BCE) – a period seen as a utopian Golden Age in Attic comedy. After the first phase, the Sicilian disaster turned the tide of the Peloponnesian War against the Athenians in 413 BCE: the great Athenian armada was heavily defeated in Sicily having set sail in 415 BCE in the hope of conquering the island. Several major allies immediately defected from Athens to the Spartan Alliance. By the end of 412 BCE, however, the Athenians managed to stave off the threat of total defeat by winning back some strategic outposts and rebuilding their navy. This went hand in hand with the further concentration of political power: the autono- my of the assembly was severely curtailed. In particular, an extraordinary board of elder and experienced statesmen, among them the aged Sopho- cles, was appointed to manage the affairs of the state. The so-called pro- bouloi could expedite war efforts by bypassing the Council. In Lysistrata (387–613, esp. 551–613) a proboulos is fiercely ridiculed onstage; he is * I would like to thank Antonios Rengakos for his kind invitation to Thessalo- niki, as well as the editors of this volume, Andreas Markantonatos and Bernhard Zimmermann.

Kernos Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2013 (EBGR 2013) 1 Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2013 (EBGR 2013) Angelos Chaniotis 1 Continuing the practice that I have adopted in the last years, in this 26th issue of the EBGR I have placed emphasis on the presentation of corpora, new finds, and new readings, restorations, and interpretations rather than on publications that are dedicated to religious phenomena and adduce inscriptions. In addition to new finds published in 2013, I have made some additions to earlier issues (publications of 2008– 2012). 2 This issue summarizes the content of important corpora from Dodona (37) and Ankyra (75), a useful collection of inscriptions from Olympia that were found after the publication of IvO (107), and large groups of inscriptions from the sanctuary of Demeter and Kore in Corinth (110)), Mysia (114), and Phrygia and Lykaonia (118). The oracular tablets from Dodona constitute the most important epigraphic material published in 2013; despite some weaknesses in the publication, these texts will greately contribute to the study of Greek divination, religion, and religious mentality.

  • The Mission of Triptolemus and the Politics of Athens , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 35:4 (1994:Winter) P.345
    MATHESON, SUSAN B., The Mission of Triptolemus and the Politics of Athens , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 35:4 (1994:Winter) p.345 The Mission of Triptolemus and the Politics of Athens Susan B. Matheson HE ANCIENT GREEKS generally attributed the workings of Tnature to divine intervention, whether it was Boreas aiding the Greek fleet against the Persians or Poseidon causing the earth to shake. Sixth- and fifth-century Greeks viewed natural products as gifts from the gods-grapes from Dionysus, olives from Athena, and grain from Demeter-and although they were skilled farmers, they needed a divine introduction to the science of agriculture. It was for this purpose that Demeter sent Triptolemus, first to the deme of Attica and then to all Greece, to teach the Greeks the art of growing grain. By bringing grain and its cultivation, Triptolemus also brought civilization, and he came to be a symbol in both Athenian art and rhetoric of these gifts to humankind from, on the one hand, Demeter and, on the other, from Athens herself. This paper will first survey the range of Triptolemus scenes in Greek vase painting up to the end of the fifth century and then explore, as others have done in part, the role these scenes played in Athenian thought and propaganda.1 1 The following discussions of Triptolemus in Greek vase painting will be cited by author's last name: C.
