HERODOTUS TODAY 1.1 In a review article called 'A Triumph for Herodotus', Peter Green largely attributes the resurgence of Herodotean studies over the last forty years or so to our emancipation from the narrower model of historiography inspired by Thucydides. 1 We have been gradually liberated to experience the pleasure of Herodotus' text, and among the general educated public the Histories have increasingly been treated as a big book we carry around in our heads, keep on our table , refer to, study, and above all enjoy. Indeed, it is not unlikely for journalists and travelling intellectuals nowadays to pack a copy of the Histories in their bags.2 1.2 Herodotus' work is a history of the interactions between the Greek city­ states and their powerful Near Eastern neighbours that culminated in the Persian invasions of Greece in 490 and 480 BCE . It goes as far back as possible to explore the causes of this conflict, and it traces the rise of the Persians to be masters of a large multi-ethnic empire that conquered, or 1 Green (2003).

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

Why Does Plato's Laws Exist? Abstract If the ideal city described at length in Plato’s Republic is a perfect and philosophically attractive encapsulation of Plato’s political philosophy, why does Plato go on to write the Laws – which also describes an ideal city, albeit one very different from the Republic? The fundamental challenge of scholarship concerning the Laws is to supply a comprehensive account of the dialogue that explains all aspects of it while also distinguishing the Laws from the Republic in a way that does not devalue the Laws as a mere afterthought to the Republic. Past attempts at meeting this challenge, I argue, can be classified under the headings of the democratic, legal, and demiurgic approaches. Although each is prima facie plausible, each also faces its own set of problems. Furthermore, none are truly capable of explaining the Laws in its full specificity; the intricate array of customs, regulations, and practices making up the life of the city described form a complex totality not reducible to the concept of democracy, the rule of law, or demiurgy.

  • Dinner in Utopia: Why Did Plato Propose “Amazing and Frightening” Meals in Common?
    Dinner in Utopia: Why did Plato Propose “Amazing and Frightening” Meals in Common? Michael Jackson & Damian Grace UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Citation: Jackson & Grace, “Dinner in Utopia: Why did Plato Propose ‘Amazing and Frightening’ Meals in Common?”, Spaces of Utopia: An Electronic Journal, 2nd series, no. 3, 2014, pp. 9-26 <http://ler.letras.up.pt > ISSN 1646-4729. “Let one open any book of history, from Herodotus to our own day, and he will see that, without even excepting conspiracies, not a single great event has occurred which has not been conceived, prepared, and carried out at a feast,” so said Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in the Philosopher in the Kitchen (1981[1825]: 54). Scholars of course know the faculty club and the conference dinner, where many events have been planned. While Plato consistently recommended common meals, syssitia (literally “eating together”), and Aristotle accepted this one feature of Plato’s political program, their recommendations of these public meals as political practices have been treated in a perfunctory manner, limited to military purposes (e.g., Finer 1997: 338 and de Mesquita et al., 2004: 174). In later utopian theory and practice, Thomas More, Tomasso Campanella and William Morris, among other utopian theorists, incorporated such meals, as have utopian communities from Oenida to the Kibbutzim, all to little comment. Insofar as the seed for the practice is found in Plato, a close study of his recommendation of common meals enhances our understanding of what such meals can offer. Why in The Laws (780a-d) did Plato recommend meals in common and why did he say that they were “amazing” and “frightening,” and perhaps not to be mentioned?1 To better understand Plato’s approach to syssitia this essay summarizes common meals in the context of classical Greece, examines Plato’s discussion of political dining, emphasizes the role of women in common meals in Plato’s political theory, considers the role of these meals in the second-best ideal commonwealth of the Laws, and draws several conclusions.

  • Dialogue Form in Greek Verse Inscriptions with Some Non
    1. INTRODUCTION Dialogue epigrams are based on certain communication patterns that are formed by using certain elements of language. In this study, I discuss the linguistic features of these patterns and I provide a typology of dialogue epigrams as a framework for these analyses. I focus on the structure and language of the dialogue verse inscriptions, but I give non-inscribed1 parallels in order to discuss the development of the epigram genre. 1.1 Subject and structure of this study The core element of this study is the dialogue epigram typology that I created. The typology is based on the turn division and on aspects of this division. I have divided the material into three categories, and I discuss the typical features of each type. What kinds of turns form the dialogues? How are the turns marked? What kind of adjacency pairs do the turns form?2 How are these turns (a) linked together with and (b) separated from other pairs in multi-pair epigrams? These are some of the main points of this study. The typology also helps to combine verse inscriptions and non- inscribed epigrams, and to detect the development towards more narrative-based epigrams. This material offers valuable information on the ways to communicate certain facts on monuments, but also about the mutual influence of the monumental and the fictive texts. In order to make my analyses fully comprehensible, I proceed from the general to the specific. Firstly, I briefly discuss the history of epigrams and how dialogue epigrams are presented in this context (Section 1.2).

  • A Commentary on Solon's Poems a Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
    A Commentary on Solon's Poems A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maria Noussia University College London February, 1999 BIET, LOIMOI1 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a Commentary on Solon's Poems (elegiacs and tetrameters; the iambic trimeters, though taken into consideration for the examination of the rest of the poems, are not given a detailed commentary). Solon's poetry is studied mainly from a literary point of view; it is compared with the language and vocabulary of his predecessors Homer, Hesiod, and the other lyric poets of his age. The study attests the influence of Solon's language, content, motives, and ethical / political ideas on his lyric successors, on Aristophanes and the tragedians (above all Euripides who specifically appears to share the ideology of the polls and the heightened consciousness about civic affairs which emerged in the Athenian community under Solon) as well as the coincidence between Solon's ethical statements and the topoi of the language of the inscriptions. This is not a historical Commentary; the connections of Solon's poetry with his Laws as well as with the historical situation of his time and the reforms he sponsored are taken into consideration only when they are useful and rewarding in the answers they provide for the interpretation of the Solonian poetry. The emphasis of this work is on Solon's poetry as a work of Literature and on Solon's poetic achievements. The close examination of his poems reveals his creativity, his artistry together with his view of the process of poetic composition as technical making and his focus on his craftsmanship as a tool for his profession as a politician and as a statesman.

  • Homer and Oral Tradition: the Formula, Part II1
    Oral Tradition, 3/1-2 (1988): 11-60 Homer and Oral Tradition: The Formula, Part II1 Mark W. Edwards §6. Studies of specifi c formulae This section deals with the usage and adaptation of individual formulae, and with the availability of formulae for particular concepts. It does not cover studies of the meaning of obscure words, or how much signifi cance a formulaic expression might retain in conventional usage (see §7), or the location of formulae within the verse (see §3). The discussion is arranged in four parts: name-epithet formulae; epithets; common-nouns and epithets; verbs. 1. Name-epithet formulae The fundamental work was Milman Parry’s fi rst monograph, published in 1928 (M. Parry 1971). Parry listed the commonest proper name and epithet formulae after the mid-verse caesura (10-13) and after the caesura in the fourth foot (15-16), and gave tables showing the formulae of different lengths for eleven major gods and heroes in the nominative case (39) and the genitive case (57). He also listed the proper name and epithet formulae for heroines (97f.), for the Greek race (101), for other peoples (99ff.), and for countries (106-9). Page 1959 lists formulae for Priam (241-42), Hector (248-51), Patroclus (286), Helen (287), Alexander/Paris (290f.), Aeneas (291), the Achaeans (242-48), the Trojans (251f.) and Ilium/Troy (292-94). Bowra 1960 examines the epithets for Troy and other cities to determine if the meanings are appropriate, his work including a listing of the formulae by metrical shape. He does not use the material to determine how far the formulaic system is complete, or list the metrical variants which preserve or violate economy.

  • The Great Inscription, Its Political and Social Institutions and the Common Institutions of the Cretans
    Originalveroffentlichung in: E. Greco - M. Lombardo (eds.), La Grande Iscrizione di Gortyna. Centoventi anni dopo la scoperta. Atti del I Convegno Internazionale di Studi sulla Messara, Athen 2005, S. 175-194 THE GREAT INSCRIPTION, ITS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE COMMON INSTITUTIONS OF THE CRETANS IS THERE SUCH AS THING AS CRETAN NOMIMA? METHODOLOGICAL CON­ SIDERATIONS In the eighth and seventh centuries Crete had been one of the most advanced regions in Greece. The Cretans adopted the alphabet very early; Cretan artists played a leading part in the development of Greek art, espe­ cially in the fields of metallurgy and stone sculpture; in the early seventh century they participated in colonisation, founding Gela together with the Rhodians; the Homeric hymn to Apollo associates the Cretans with the foundation of the sanctuary at Delphi. It is in this period of cosmopoli­ tanism and close contacts to the Orient, a period of a visible advance of trade, arts, and culture, that Crete seems to petrify. From the late seventh century onwards trade and arts do not disappear, but they certainly lost the innovative power they had had; the Cretan institutions do not keep pace with the developments in the rest of Greece; and although Crete was never isolated from the rest of Greece, its contacts with other Greek areas in the sixth and fifth centuries were not impressive. The decline of Crete as a cul­ tural pioneer in the Greek world goes hand in hand with the rise of its fame as a model of law and order. The Cretans did not any longer produce impressive works of art, but they produced more legal inscriptions than the 1 rest of Greece taken together.
