Three fur- ther volumes in the series are in preparation: on authorship and authority in Greek lyric poetry, on the reception and transmission of Greek lyric poetry from 600bc to 400ad, and on the newest Sappho fragments published in 2014 (P. Sapph. Obbink and P. GC inv. 105). The Network was founded in 2007 as a means of facilitating interaction between scholars interested in the study of archaic and classical lyric, elegiac, and iambic poetry. Most of the papers included here were originally presented at the first open conference of the Network, held on 17th–20th July 2009 at the European Cultural Centre of Del- phi. This was funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (nwo) and Stanford University, and organised by Anastasia-Erasmia Peponi and Richard Martin. Theirs was the choice of theme, the formulation of the call for papers, and the initial selection of abstracts. The publication of the vol- ume was then planned by them jointly with André Lardinois and the papers underwent a process of peer reviewing at the hands of the ‘core members’ of the network as well as an anonymous reviewer for the Press. The final process of shaping the volume and editing the typescript for submission was under- taken by Vanessa Cazzato and André Lardinois, one of the network’s founders and the initiator of the series. Two students, Hendri Dekker and Marieke Grau- mans, helped with the preparation of the index. We would like to thank the Faculty of Arts of Radboud University for providing the funds which enabled this volume to be made available through Open Access. V.C. A.L.

In this paper I shall try to solve some of these by applying a new perspective to the text. I believe that this fragment is connected with a specific literary feature of drama especially prominent in the bnal decades of the bfth century B.C., viz. theatrical self-consciousness and the use of Dionysus, the god of Athenian drama, as a basic symbol for this tendency. 2 The History of the Papyrus Among the most important papyri brought to light by Anton Fackelmann is an anthology of Greek prose and poetry, which includes 19 verses of a dramatic text in catalectic anapestic tetrameters. Dr Fackelmann entrusted the publication of this papyrus to Barbel Kramer of the University of Cologne. Her editio princeps appeared in 1979 as P. Fackelmann 5. 3 Two years later the verses were edited a second time by Richard Kannicht and Bruno Snell and integrated into the Fragmenta Adespota in 1 This papyrus has already been treated by the author in Dionysos und die griechische Trag odie. Politische und 'metatheatralische' Aspekte im Text (Tiibingen 1991: hereafter 'Bieri') 248-53. The interpretation offered here is an expansion of my earlier provisional comments in the Appendix, presenting fragments of tragedy dealing with Dionysus. 2 See C.

Schlegel and the Nineteenth-Century Damnatio of Euripides Ernst Behler N HIS 1802-04 Berlin lectures on aesthetics, August Wilhelm Schle­ I gel claimed that his younger brother Friedrich (in his essay On the Study of Greek Poetry U795]), had been the first in the modern age to discern the "immeasurable gulf" separating Euripides from Aeschylus and Sophocles, thereby reviving an attitude the Greeks themselves had assumed towards the poet. The elder Schlegel noted that certain contemporaries of Euripides felt the "deep decline" both in his tragic art and in the music of the time: Aristophanes, with his unrelenting satire, had been assigned by God as Euripides' "eternal scourge"; 1 Plato, in reproaching the poets for fostering the passionate state of mind through excessive emotionalism, actually pointed to Euripides (SK I 40). Schlegel believed that his younger brother's observation of the profound difference between Euripides and the two other Greek tragedians was an important intuition that required detailed critical and comparative analysis for sufficient development (SK II 359). By appropriating this task as his own, August Wilhelm Schlegel inaugurated a phenomenon that we may describe as the nineteenth-century damnatio of Euripides. The condemnation of Euripides by these early German romantics was no extravagant and isolated moment in their critical activity: it constituted a central event in the progressive formation of a new literary theory. Their pronouncements must be seen in the context of a larger movement, towards the end of the eighteenth century, that transformed the critical scene in Europe: the fall of the classicist doctrine and the rise of the new literary theory of romanticism.

And – it has ultimately shown itself to be right: every advance in epistemological and moral knowledge has reinstated the Sophists – Our contemporary way of thinking is to a great extent Heraclitean, Democritean, and Protagorean: it suffices to say it is Protagorean, because Protagoras represented a synthesis of Heraclitus and Democritus.” Nietzsche, The Will to Power, 2.428 Reappraisals of the authorship & dating of the Prometheia trilogy • Traditionally thought to have been composed by Aeschylus (c.525-c.456 BCE). • More recent scholarship has demonstrated the play to have been written by a later, lesser author sometime in the 430s. • This new dating raises many questions as to what contemporary events the trilogy may be referring.

    Defining the Fiscal Role of Hellenistic Monarchy in Shaping Sale

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by OpenstarTs Defining the Fiscal Role of Hellenistic Monarchy in Shaping Sale NOAH KAYE INTRODUCTION In the classical Greek world, in the context of the polis, the taxation of sale was the kind of banality that could attract the wit of Aristophanes.1 Yet it is precisely this sort of everyday occurrence about which most of our sources are silent. Indeed, if we can assume that, broadly speaking, the classical polis and its Hellenistic successor raised a tax on certain sales, a tax which they called an epônion or a hekatostê (1/100), we are ill informed about the details: the incidence of this tax and the mode of imposition.2 With the subjugation, and further, the integration of many poleis into Hellenistic kingdoms, as well as the kings’ foundation of many new cities organized along similar lines, fiscality became a domain in which relations of power were negotiated, and in which, for us, the smaller polity’s position in a larger, multiscalar state can be mapped out. Yet when it comes to taxation and sale, we do not yet have a clear account of the impact of royal power (basileia) on the polis: which 1 Acharnians 896-97. 2 On sales tax in the Greek city of the classical and Hellenistic periods, see FRANCOTTE 1909, 15-19 and ANDREADES 1933, 144-46. Independent Delos represents a singular case, for which we have an extraordinary amount of information; see CHANKOWSKI 2007, 311-12. 81 of the traditional tax powers of the polis were transferred to the monarchy? Which were shared? Which transformed in the new environment? Or did the kings introduce new fiscal categories and institutions around sale in order to increase their revenues? What follows is an attempt to clarify the role of basileia in shaping sale.

The smaller shields resemble in size and shape the shields employed by the Macedonian phalanx, as described by Asclepiodotus (Tactics5.1).

LEVEN Yale University* Abstract: Scholarship on the late fifth-century BC New Music Revolution has mostly relied on the evidence provided by Athenaeus, the pseudo-Plutarch De musica and a few other late sources. To this date, however, very little has been done to understand Athenaeus’ own role in shaping our understanding of the musical culture of that period. This article argues that the historical context provided by Athenaeus in the section of the Deipnosophistae that cites passages of Melanippides, Telestes and Pratinas on the mythology of the aulos (14.616e−617f) is not a credible reflection of the contemporary aesthetics and strategies of the authors and their works.

By using a wide range of ancient literary, epigraphical, archaeological, and iconographical evidence and relevant modern scholarship, this thesis will fully explore the role of the Oracle in warfare, especially the influence of the major Oracles at Delphi, Dodona, Olympia, Didyma, and Ammon on the foreign policies and military strategies of poleis and their psychological preparation for war; as well as the effect of oracular prophecies on a commander’s decision- making and tactics on the battlefield, and on the psychology and reactions of soldiers before and during battle. This thesis contends that oracular prophecy played a fundamental and integral part in ancient Greek warfare, and that the act of consulting the Oracles, and the subsequent prognostications issued by the Oracles, had powerful psychological effects on both the polis citizenry and soldiery, which in turn had a major influence and impact upon military strategy and tactics, and ultimately on the outcome of conflicts in the ancient Greek world.

    Euripides and Gender: the Difference the Fragments Make

    Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Ruby Blondell, Chair Deborah Kamen Olga Levaniouk Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2013 Melissa Karen Anne Funke University of Washington Abstract Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ruby Blondell Department of Classics Research on gender in Greek tragedy has traditionally focused on the extant plays, with only sporadic recourse to discussion of the many fragmentary plays for which we have evidence. This project aims to perform an extensive study of the sixty-two fragmentary plays of Euripides in order to provide a picture of his presentation of gender that is as full as possible. Beginning with an overview of the history of the collection and transmission of the fragments and an introduction to the study of gender in tragedy and Euripides’ extant plays, this project takes up the contexts in which the fragments are found and the supplementary information on plot and character (known as testimonia) as a guide in its analysis of the fragments themselves. These contexts include the fifth- century CE anthology of Stobaeus, who preserved over one third of Euripides’ fragments, and other late antique sources such as Clement’s Miscellanies, Plutarch’s Moralia, and Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae. The sections on testimonia investigate sources ranging from the mythographers Hyginus and Apollodorus to Apulian pottery to a group of papyrus hypotheses known as the “Tales from Euripides”, with a special focus on plot-type, especially the rape-and-recognition and Potiphar’s wife storylines.
