  • Transantiquity
    TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity.

  • The Iphis Incident: Ovid's Accidental Discovery of Gender Dysphoria
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2021 – Pages 95-116 The Iphis Incident: Ovid’s Accidental Discovery of Gender Dysphoria By Ken Moore* This article examines what the author argues is Ovid's accidental discovery of gender dysphoria with recourse to an incident in the Metamorphoses. The author argues that Ovid has accidentally discovered gender dysphoria as evidenced through the character of Iphis in Book IX of the Metamorphoses. It is unlikely that Ovid could have imagined the ramifications of such a “discovery”; however, the “symptoms” described in his narrative match exceedingly closely with modern, clinical definitions. These are explored in the article along with how Ovid may have, through personal experience, been able to achieve such a penetrating, albeit accidental, insight. The wider, epistemological context of this topic is considered alongside Ovid's personal circumstances which may have contributed to his unique understanding of a condition that modern science has only recently identified. There are relatively few examples from ancient Greek and Roman literature that entail individuals having experienced something like the modern condition of transgenderism. One stands out above the others for sheer detail, along with emotional and psychological depth, that resonates quite well with issues faced by modernity. This is to be found in Ovid’s brief narrative about Iphis, at the end of book IX of the Metamorphoses. The text of this short episode is crucial in order to come to grips with this subject and I have included most of it here, in quotes as well as in appendices, as I deem it relevant to our understanding.

  • Flowers in Greek Mythology
    Flowers in Greek Mythology Everybody knows how rich and exciting Greek Mythology is. Everybody also knows how rich and exciting Greek Flora is. Find out some of the famous Greek myths flower inspired. Find out how feelings and passions were mixed together with flowers to make wonderful stories still famous in nowadays. Anemone:The name of the plant is directly linked to the well known ancient erotic myth of Adonis and Aphrodite (Venus). It has been inspired great poets like Ovidius or, much later, Shakespeare, to compose hymns dedicated to love. According to this myth, while Adonis was hunting in the forest, the ex- lover of Aphrodite, Ares, disguised himself as a wild boar and attacked Adonis causing him lethal injuries. Aphrodite heard the groans of Adonis and rushed to him, but it was too late. Aphrodite got in her arms the lifeless body of her beloved Adonis and it is said the she used nectar in order to spray the wood. The mixture of the nectar and blood sprang a beautiful flower. However, the life of this 1 beautiful flower doesn’t not last. When the wind blows, makes the buds of the plant to bloom and then drifted away. This flower is called Anemone because the wind helps the flowering and its decline. Adonis:It would be an omission if we do not mention that there is a flower named Adonis, which has medicinal properties. According to the myth, this flower is familiar to us as poppy meadows with the beautiful red colour. (Adonis blood). Iris: The flower got its name from the Greek goddess Iris, goddess of the rainbow.

  • False Forms and Wicked Women: Apuleius' Isis Book and Ovid's Iphis
    FALSE FORMS AND WICKED WOMEN: APULEIUS’ ISIS BOOK AND OVID’S IPHIS STORY Sarah H. Eisenlohr A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Classics in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: James Rives Sharon James Emily Baragwanath ©2019 Sarah H. Eisenlohr ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sarah H. Eisenlohr: False forms and wicked women: Apuleius’ Isis book and Ovid’s Iphis story (Under the direction of James Rives) In this thesis, I take a new approach to the study of Isis in Apuleius’ Golden Ass by comparing the novel to the story of Iphis written by Ovid in the Metamorphoses. I begin by reviewing the history of Isiac worship in the Roman world and previous research on Isis’ role in Apuleius. I then move on to a detailed study of literary allusions between the Golden Ass and Ovid’s Iphis story. From there, I explore the literary evidence concerning Isiac ethics and use my findings to analyze further the two texts at hand. I argue that both Apuleius and Ovid use Isis to mitigate the effects of dishonorable conduct in their narratives, especially that of a sexual nature. In each story, Isis ensures that her followers avoid behavior that disrupts communal and familial life, ultimately reinforcing traditional morality and social norms. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………...1 ISIS IN THE ROMAN WORLD………………………………………………………………….3 PLATONISM IN THE GOLDEN ASS……………………………………………………………5 ALLUSIONS TO THE METAMORPHOSES AND IPHIS IN THE GOLDEN ASS……………..8 SEXUALITY AND ISIAC ETHICS…………………………………………………………….22 CONCLUSION…………………………………………………………………………………..31 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………………..33 iv INTRODUCTION This thesis aims to add a new dimension to the collective understanding of Isis’ role in Apuleius’ Golden Ass, as Lucius’ savior and as his patroness after his acceptance into her cult.

    CONVERSIONS OVIDIAN TRANSVERSIONS OVIDIAN SERIES EDITORS: PAUL YACHNIN AND BRONWEN WILSON ‘A spectacular achievement. Harnessing the capacity of Ovid’s 1300–1650 AND IANTHE’, ‘IPHIS Iphis story to unsettle our categories of being and knowing, this book represents the very best in collaborative scholarship. It makes a truly transformational contribution to research on Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Ovidian reception, and the history and politics of embodiment, sexuality and gender.’ Robert Mills, University College London Focuses on transversions of Ovid’s ‘Iphis and Ianthe’ in both English and French literature Medieval and early modern authors engaged with Ovid’s tale of ‘Iphis and Ianthe’ in a number of surprising ways. From Christian translations to secular retellings on the seventeenth-century stage, Ovid’s story of a girl’s miraculous transformation into a boy sparked a diversity of responses in English and French from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. In addition to analysing various translations and commentaries, the volume clusters essays around treatments of John Lyly’s Galatea (c.1585) and Issac de Benserade’s Iphis et Iante (1637). As a whole, the volume addresses gender and transgender, sexuality and gallantry, anatomy and alchemy, fable and history, youth and pedagogy, language and climate change.

  • Poems of Sappho
    POEMS OF SAPPHO TRANSLATED BY JULIA DUBNOFF Focus Questions: 1. Sappho presents herself, espectially in #1, as having a close relationship with Aphrodite. What are the dynamics of this relationship? What does it say about the religious perspectives possible to women? 2. How does Sappho portray herself as a lover? What is her relationship to the objects of her love? Is her love reciprocated, or is the focus of the love of others? 3. What is the community of women implied by Sappho’s poems? What are their activities? How do they feel about one another? Who are they? What stage of life? 4. Do men have a place in Sappho’s poetry? If so, what is it? Do you get a sense of male/female relationships from this poetry? 5. Is there anything about Sappho’s poetry that makes it particularly feminine? 6. What is it about Sappho’s poetry that would appeal enough to the male readers/listeners so much that she was the only really famous female poet of her period, the best-known female poet ever in the Greco-Roman world, and know as the “tenth Muse”? ≈1≈ Immortal Aphrodite, on your intricately brocaded throne,1 child of Zeus, weaver of wiles, this I pray: Dear Lady, don't crush my heart with pains and sorrows. But come here, if ever before, when you heard my far-off cry, you listened. And you came, leaving your father's house, yoking your chariot of gold. Then beautiful swift sparrows led you over the black earth from the sky through the middle air, whirling their wings into a blur.

ABSTRACT In this thesis I discuss Ali Smith’s reworking of Ovid’s tale of the girl-boy Iphis from his Metamorphoses (9.666-797) in her 2006 novel Girl meets boy. I examine how Smith has brought Ovid to life for twenty-first century readers, first through an exploration of feminist and queer critical readings of Ovid and the influence of those theories on Smith’s method of classical reception, and secondly through an analysis of intertextual references. My matrix of interpretation draws upon the theories and experimental writing of Julia Kristeva, Monique Wittig and Judith Butler, alongside an examination of intertextual allusions to Ovid himself, Virginia Woolf, John Lyly and William Shakespeare.

  • Chapter 25- Greek and Roman Legends in Ovid's Poetry -Every
    chapter 25- Greek and Roman legends in Ovid's poetry -Every district in the Greek world has its local heroes and heroines whose legends were often associated with local cults, while a few became famous throughout the Greek world and were the subjects of Greek tragedies, epics and other poems, many of which are no longer extant. Ovid is by far the most important of the classical authors in the transmission of Greek, Roman and Near Eastern legends. His unparalleled imaginative and narrative powers, his rhetorical skill and his deep sympathy with the emotions and sufferings of his characters have made his poems the dominant influence in the transmission of classical legends in the Roman empire and in medieval and modern times. -In his early poetry, Ovid used mythological legends more for decorative or allusive purposes. Later when he wrote Heroides, fifteen letters from mythological heroines to their absent loves to which he added three pairs of letters in which the lovers replied the poetry displayed still more Ovid's understanding of women in love and the hardships of separation. Hero and Leander -First is the story of Hero and Leander, told in the second pair of letters added to the original fifteen whose setting is the Hellespont, the straits that divided Europe from Asia. Leander, a young man from the city of Abydos on the Asiatic shore, loved Hero, priestess of Aphrodite in Sestos on the European shore. He swam the Hellespont each night to visit her, guided by a light that she placed in a tower on the shore.
