Bacchylides 17: Singing and Usurping the Paean Maria Pavlou
Bacchylides 17: Singing and Usurping the Paean Maria Pavlou ACCHYLIDES 17, a Cean commission performed on Delos, has been the subject of extensive study and is Bmuch admired for its narrative artistry, elegance, and excellence. The ode was classified as a dithyramb by the Alex- andrians, but the Du-Stil address to Apollo in the closing lines renders this classification problematic and has rather baffled scholars. The solution to the thorny issue of the ode’s generic taxonomy is not yet conclusive, and the dilemma paean/ dithyramb is still alive.1 In fact, scholars now are more inclined to place the poem somewhere in the middle, on the premise that in antiquity the boundaries between dithyramb and paean were not so clear-cut as we tend to believe.2 Even though I am 1 Paean: R.

The Story of Icarus
The Story of Icarus King Minos looked out of the window and spotted the boat that his messenger had just mentioned. Ordinarily, he was not interested in those entering or leaving Crete but one of the passengers had been banished from Athens. All reports described him as a genius. He had even fooled Hercules with his inventions. The King smiled; this man was going to be very useful. A short while after Daedalus had arrived on the island of Crete, he was taken to the palace and asked to become the King’s master craftsman. “I have a way to use your skills,” explained the King. “There is a Minotaur who terrorises Crete and we have been unable to contain it. I need you to build a maze that it will not be able to escape from.” Pleased that his reputation had followed him, Daedalus set to work. Helped by his son, Icarus, the pair designed and built an incredible labyrinth. When it was finally finished, the Minotaur was captured and locked away. The people of Crete celebrated and thought that Daedalus and Icarus were heroes. Weeks later, Daedalus was approached by a man named Theseus. He explained to Daedalus that he planned to slay the Minotaur but that he needed Daedalus’s help to navigate the labyrinth. Unable to ignore the idea that this was a truly heroic act, Daedalus agreed. King Minos’s daughter joined them and the three completed their mission before escaping the labyrinth. Immediately, Theseus fled back to Athens with King Minos’s daughter beside him. -

Tessmer: Myth, Ritual, and the Labyrinth of King Minos Myth, Ritual, and the Labyrinth of King Minos Nicole Tessmer St. Louis University According to ancient mythology, King Minos built a perplexing labyrinth to house the Minotaur, a monstrous creature to which his wife had given birth. Each year, the myth states, seven girls and seven boys were chosen to enter the labyrinth as tributes to become food for the Minotaur.1 It was not until Theseus entered the labyrinth, and killed the Minotaur that it could be considered a place to leave your childhood behind. Once inside, they wrestled with their demons, experienced a rebirth, and finally, emerged as adults ready to take their places in society. The myth of the labyrinth can thus be understood as a rite of passage or a coming of age ritual in ancient Greece. -
1 Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative
Paola Ceccarelli Map, Catalogue, Drama, Narrative: Representations of the Aegean Space. Introduction: representing space. Between the land-masses of Europe and Asia lies the Aegean sea.1 This space is neither homogeneous nor blank: the Aegean is framed by highly fragmented coastlines, and dotted with islands, which in turn are perceived as forming groups, such as the Cyclades or Sporades. Culturally, there is no distinction between the two sides of the Aegean, and the islands in between: “in the internal structure of the sea- faring Hellenic society in its pre-Alexandrine age, the waters of the Aegean proved themselves to be, not a barrier, but a bond by knitting together an Asiatic and a European half of an indivisible Hellas.”2 Politically however this has been a highly charged, and highly contested, space, not least because the maritime space defies the imposition of a clear-cut boundary, of the kind that rivers seem to provide:3 while the ‘strong’ point of division between the two continents is the Hellespont, which resembles a river, the Aegean sea has width (as Herodotus says, “the Hellespont flows into an expanse of sea, χάσµα πελάγεος, which is called Aegean”, 4.85.4), and 1 Ancient denominations of the area: Ceccarelli (2012). For the definitions of ‘space’ and ‘place’ accepted here see the introduction, 000.

Dionysus was the only Olympian god to have a mortal parent. He was the god of fertility, wine and the arts. His nature reflected the duality of wine: he gave joy and divine ecstasy, or brutal and blinding rage. He and his followers could not be contained by bonds. One would imagine that being the god of “good times” could be a pretty easy and happy existence. Unfortunately, this just doesn’t happen in the world of Greek mythology. Dionysus is called “twice born.” His mother, Semele, was seduced by a Greek god, but Semele did not know which god was her lover. Fully aware of her husband’s infidelity, the jealous Hera went to Semele in disguise and convinced her to see her god lover in his true form. -
The Story of Orpheus and Eurydice in Coetzee and Rilke

J. M. Coetzee’s The Master of Petersburg (1994) is a text about a father (Dostoevsky) mourning the death of his son. I am interested in the presence and meaning of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in the novel, compared to the meaning of the myth in R. M. Rilke’s poem “Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.” (1904). I read the unaccomplished encounter between Orpheus and Eurydice as a story that portrays the failed intersubjectity plot of Coetzee’s novel(s). Following Blanchot’s reading of the myth, I examine the contrasting Orphean and Eurydicean conducts – Orpheus desiring but, at the same time, destroying the other and Eurydice declining the other’s approach. I argue that Orpheus’s and Eurydice’s contrasting behaviours can be looked at as manifestations of a failure of love, one for its violence, the other for its neglect, and thus the presence of the myth in The Master of Petersburg is meaningful in what it says about the theme of intersubjectivity in Coetzee’s oeuvre. Keywords: Orpheus, Eurydice, encounter, intersubjectivity. J. M. Coetzee’s seventh novel, The Master of Petersburg (1994), is a novel about the trauma of losing a son; it is a mourning text both in the sense that in it the protagonist Dostoevsky tries to work through the trauma of loss (and through him Coetzee tries to work through the trauma of the loss of his own son1) and in the sense that the novel textually performs the work of mourning by trying – and failing – to understand this loss. -

General Assembly Security Council Seventy-Fifth Session Seventy-Sixth Year Agenda Item 76 (A) Oceans and the Law of the Sea: Oceans and the Law of the Sea
United Nations A/75/976–S/2021/684 General Assembly Distr.: General 28 July 2021 Security Council Original: English General Assembly Security Council Seventy-fifth session Seventy-sixth year Agenda item 76 (a) Oceans and the law of the sea: oceans and the law of the sea Letter dated 27 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General With reference to the letter dated 13 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Turkey to the United Nations addressed to you (A/75/961-S/2021/651), we wish to underline the following: First, the arguments contained in the above-mentioned Turkish letter that sovereignty over the Greek islands of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean was ceded to Greece under the Treaty of Lausanne of 24 July 1923 and the Treaty signed at Paris on 10 February 1947 “on the specific and strict condition that they be kept demilitarized’’ are not only manifestly unsubstantiated and unfounded, but also legally and historically incorrect. Once again, we wish to reiterate that sovereignty over the islands, islets and rocks of the Aegean was ceded to Greece definitively and unconditionally under the above-mentioned treaties and any interpretation against the letter or spirit of these fundamental treaties would amount to an unauthorized atte mpt to unilaterally review and modify them. More specifically: 1. Regarding the Lausanne Peace Treaty of 24 July 1923, it should be stressed that Greece’s sovereignty over the Eastern Aegean Sea islands was officially confirmed in article 12 of the Treaty. Greek sovereignty over the Eastern Aegean islands, according to the said article, is not conditional upon any obligation whatsoever, including any obligation to demilitarize them. -
