New Sappho” and “Newest Sappho” The Study of Historical and Philological Papyrology: Case Studies “New Sappho” and “Newest Sappho” A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Classics University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2018 by Bianca Lysette Claudio Abstract This thesis investigates how a recently discovered papyrus fragment is analyzed by examining closely two new Sappho papyri found within the last decade, known as the “Newest Sappho” and “New Sappho” respectively. The former consists of a set of fragments discovered in 2014 by Dirk Obbink which contains both the Brothers Song and Kypris Song; the latter denotes another set of fragments including the Tithonus Song, published by Martin Gronewald and Robert Daniel in 2004. The investigation of the new discoveries will be divided into two case studies: the first will be focused on the P. Sapph. Obbink fragment and its Brothers Song, exploring the possibility that the Brothers Song is not necessarily Sappho’s work, but rather an example of an ancient imitation. The second case study will be focused on Sappho’s Tithonus Song, as preserved in P.Köln. inv. 21351+21376. My investigation for this section will proceed first by identifying the actual length of the Tithonus Song – examining where the poem begins and where it ends, and continue by addressing how Sappho interprets old age in her poem. Each of the two case studies will be divided further into two methodologies – a papyrological and philological approach – which will govern my analysis, addressing certain problems and issues that are unique to each find. Evaluation of the two new Sappho fragments will also demonstrate that issues concerning the texts are not isolated to the paleography, history, and content of the documents. My investigation will show that our handling of new papyrological discoveries affects the continued study of Sappho and her lyric works. ii Acknowledgements It would not have been possible to write and finish this thesis without the help and support of the kind people around me, who I am eternally grateful. I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. C. Michael Sampson, for his help, support, and patience throughout the process of writing this master’s thesis.

INV. 21376 ......................................................... 98 iv Introduction Sappho, a lyric poet from archaic Lesbos, was known for weaving together themes of love and sexuality instead of war and heroism in her lyrics. The Lesbian poet’s renown as a great female lyricist is evident in both ancient and modern responses to her poetry: Plato praises Sappho’s poetic excellence by proposing that she is the “tenth Muse” and Hellenistic poets similarly call her “the Mortal Muse”.1 Numerous ancient authors – Greek and Roman alike – were inspired and influenced by the poetry of Sappho, as is evident in Anacreon’s Poem 358, Catullus’ Poem 51, and Horace’s Ode 4.1. Their works are either near translation of one of Sappho’s poems or an imitation of her work. Scholarly interest in Sappho and her poetry has increased substantially in the past century. Sappho’s compositions challenged the norm of a period in which literary works were authored mainly by men; it is said that she composed up to nine books of lyric poetry in her native Aeolic dialect. But despite Sappho’s prominence, very little of her work survives: only a couple of poems are completely preserved (i.e. frr.1 and 31), a few are relatively complete, and the rest are fragmentary and lacunose pieces. When Edgar Lobel published his edition of P.Oxy. 2289, he remarked how the then recently found Sapphic fragment “cannot be said to add much to our knowledge … [and] brings new darkness”.2 Lobel undoubtedly did not anticipate that another pair of fragments by Sappho would resurface half a century later, one of which incidentally overlaps with the pieces of papyri he once regarded as not having made a substantial difference in the study of Sappho’s poetry. The reason for his reservation is the infrequency of finding comprehensible and authentic ancient literary texts, even more so in the case of discovering new Sapphic fragments. 1 Carson 2002. 2 Lobel (ed.) 1951:2. Lobel’s remarks were directed to fragments 2, 5, and 4 of P.Oxy. 2289 assemblage, which he identifies as texts of Sappho from her Book 1. 1 Philologists specializing in the study of Sappho are always excited by the discovery of unknown Sappho papyri because every new piece of evidence brings them one step closer towards recreating the biographical and poetic history of the poet. Even so, there are still issues that coincide with

PREFACE The purpose of this book is to present a complete collection, subject to certain definitions and exceptions which will be mentioned later, of all the best extant Greek Epigrams. Although many epigrams not given here have in different ways a special interest of their own, none, it is hoped, have been excluded which are of the first excellence in any style. But, while it would be easy to agree on three-fourths of the matter to be included in such a scope, perhaps hardly any two persons would be in exact accordance with regard to the rest; with many pieces which lie on the border line of excellence, the decision must be made on a balance of very slight considerations, and becomes in the end one rather of personal taste than of any fixed principle.

In this study, I have read a large amount of poetry and have studied several books on prosody, the most influential of which was Poetic Meter and Poetic Form by Paul Fussell. This splendid book increased vastly my knowledge of poetry. and through it and other books, I became a much more sensitive, intelligent reader of poems. The problem with my study came when I tried to decide how to in­ corporate what I had learned into a scholarly paper, for it seemed that any attempt.to do so would result in the mere parroting of the words of Paul Fussell and others.

Department of ^MQrUtSM The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date oa- it mi DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Thomas Hardy's elegy to A.C. Swinburne, composed in 1910 shortly after his death, points to a poetic relationship between the two poets which goes beyond admiration or influence. The relationship between Hardy and Swinburne has not been adequately explored by twentieth century critics, and it is the central purpose of this thesis to examine more closely parallels between them on the level of technique. Analysis of Hardy's elegy entitled "A Singer Asleep" suggests how Hardy may have identified with Swinburne on the level of technique.

  • STONEFLY NAMES from CLASSICAL TIMES W. E. Ricker

Artikel/Article: Stonefly names from classical times 37-43 STONEFLY NAMES FROM CLASSICAL TIMES W. E. Ricker Recently I amused myself by checking the stonefly names that seem to be based on the names of real or mythological persons or localities of ancient Greece and Rome. I had copies of Bulfinch’s "Age of Fable," Graves; "Greek Myths," and an "Atlas of the Ancient World," all of which have excellent indexes; also Brown’s "Composition of Scientific Words," And I have had assistance from several colleagues. It turned out that among the stonefly names in lilies’ 1966 Katalog there are not very many that appear to be classical, although I may have failed to recognize a few. There were only 25 in all, and to get even that many I had to fudge a bit. Eleven of the names had been proposed by Edward Newman, an English student of neuropteroids who published around 1840. What follows is a list of these names and associated events or legends, giving them an entomological slant whenever possible. Greek names are given in the latinized form used by Graves, for example Lycus rather than Lykos. I have not listed descriptive words like Phasganophora (sword-bearer) unless they are also proper names. Also omitted are geographical names, no matter how ancient, if they are easily recognizable today — for example caucasica or helenica. alexanderi Hanson 1941, Leuctra.

  • Slaves, Sex, and Transgression in Greek Old Comedy
    Slaves, Sex, and Transgression in Greek Old Comedy By Daniel Christopher Walin A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mark Griffith, Chair Professor Donald J. Mastronarde Professor Kathleen McCarthy Professor Emily Mackil Spring 2012 1 Abstract Slaves, Sex, and Transgression in Greek Old Comedy by Daniel Christopher Walin Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Berkeley Professor Mark Griffith, Chair This dissertation examines the often surprising role of the slave characters of Greek Old Comedy in sexual humor, building on work I began in my 2009 Classical Quarterly article ("An Aristophanic Slave: Peace 819–1126"). The slave characters of New and Roman comedy have long been the subject of productive scholarly interest; slave characters in Old Comedy, by contrast, have received relatively little attention (the sole extensive study being Stefanis 1980). Yet a closer look at the ancestors of the later, more familiar comic slaves offers new perspectives on Greek attitudes toward sex and social status, as well as what an Athenian audience expected from and enjoyed in Old Comedy. Moreover, my arguments about how to read several passages involving slave characters, if accepted, will have larger implications for our interpretation of individual plays. The first chapter sets the stage for the discussion of "sexually presumptive" slave characters by treating the idea of sexual relations between slaves and free women in Greek literature generally and Old Comedy in particular. I first examine the various (non-comic) treatments of this theme in Greek historiography, then its exploitation for comic effect in the fifth mimiamb of Herodas and in Machon's Chreiai.
