No; this meant trouble. It was like the riot When sudden squalls lash peaceful waves to surges. Phineus was the reckless one to start it, That warfare, brandishing his spear of ash With sharp bronze point. “Look at me! Here I am,” He cried, “Avenger of my stolen bride! No wings will save you from me, and no god Turned into lying gold.”* He poised the spear, As Cepheus shouted: “Are you crazy, brother? What are you doing? Is this our gratitude, This our repayment for a maiden saved? If truth is what you want, it was not Perseus Who took her from you, but the Nereids Whose power is terrible, it was hornèd Ammon, It was that horrible monster from the ocean Who had to feed on my own flesh and blood, And that was when you really lost her, brother; 107 lines 20–47 She would have died—can your heart be so cruel To wish it so, to heal its grief by causing Grief in my heart? It was not enough, I take it, For you to see her bound and never help her, Never so much as lift a little finger, And you her uncle and her promised husband! So now you grieve that someone else did save her, You covet his reward, a prize so precious, It seems, you could not force yourself to take it From the rocks where it was bound.

  • Homer's Iliad: a Discussion Guide
    Homer’s Iliad: A Discussion Guide By David Bruce SMASHWORDS EDITION Copyright 2013 by Bruce D. Bruce Thank you for downloading this book. You are welcome to share it with your friends. This book may be reproduced, copied and distributed for non-commercial purposes, provided the book remains in its complete original form. If you enjoyed this book, please return to Smashwords.com to discover other works by this author. Thank you for your support. Preface The purpose of this book is educational. I have read, studied and taught Homer’s Iliad, and I wish to pass on what I have learned to other people who are interested in studying Homer’s Iliad. In particular, I think that the readers of this introduction to Homer’s Iliad will be bright high school seniors and college first-year students, as well as intelligent adults who simply wish to study the Iliad despite not being literature majors. This book uses a question-and-answer format. It poses, then answers, relevant questions about Homer, background information, and the Iliad. This book goes through the Iliad book by book. I recommend that you read the relevant section of the Iliad, then read my comments, then go back and re-read the relevant section of the Iliad. However, do what works for you. Teachers may find this book useful as a discussion guide for the epic poem. Teachers can have students read books from the epic poem, then teachers can ask students selected questions from this study guide. It helps to know something about Homer’s Odyssey, Virgil’s Aeneid, Greek and Roman mythology, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses, but this background reading is not strictly necessary.

  • 800 BC the ILIAD Homer Translated by Samuel Butler
    800 BC THE ILIAD Homer translated by Samuel Butler Homer (~800 BC) - An Ionian Poet. Historians cannot agree where Homer was born, whether he was blind, whether he wrote both the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey”, or even if he actually existed. Whatever the case may be, the influence of the two enduring epics attributed to him is indisputable. The Iliad (800 BC) - An epic poem consisting of twenty-four books that deal with the last few days of the Trojan War. Here translated into prose by Samuel Butler.

Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest.

    TYDEUS: THE SAETIGER SUS OF STATIUS’ THEBAID By JAMES MOSS LOHMAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 James Moss Lohmar 2 Meis Parentibus Sororibusque Bellis 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I must first thank my mother for forcing me into high school Latin and my father for always talking shop. Dr. Robert Burgess deserves my gratitude as well for his inspiration and guidance in my formative years with the language. Professors Mario Erasmo and James Anderson have also had important hands in my training, and I thank them profusely for the invaluable experience I gained on the UGA Classics Studies Abroad in Rome trip during the Summer of 2005. If not for my experiences in Europe, I would not be pursuing an advanced degree in Classics. My peers, Seth Boutin and Megan Daly, have dealt with the same challenges that I have in this project, and I am grateful for their support and collegiality. Finally, I am grateful to Drs. Victoria Pagán, Jim Marks, and Lewis Sussman, whose valuable comments and numerous edits this project benefited from enormously. In particular I must thank Dr. Victoria Pagán, who read the Thebaid with me in the summer of 2007. Without her, not a letter of this thesis could have been written. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS..........................................................................................................6

  • The Argos Narrative in Statius' Thebaid
    The Argos Narrative in Statius’ Thebaid: a new Ovidian Perseid? American Journal of Philology (2019, in press) Author: Tommaso Spinelli 1 ABSTRACT Moving beyond traditionally Virgil-centric readings of the Thebaid, this article argues that Statius programmatically acknowledges the role that the Metamorphoses plays in his poem, by opening the Thebaid with an Argive narrative (Theb. 1.312-2.743) entirely modelled on the Ovidian Perseid (Met. 4.610-5.249). By exploring how a “conflictive” Virgilian-Ovidian intertextuality informs the Thebaid’s Argos narrative, I show how Statius develops Ovid’s intertextual technique both to competitively renegotiate his relationship with his Augustan models and to respond to the new socio-political issues of Flavian Rome, chiefly the dangers of the Flavians’ family-based reorganisation of the imperial institution under the guise of a return to an idealised Augustan past. 1. Structural and thematic similarities between Ovid’s Perseid and Statius’ Argos narrative Placed between the first and the second books of the poem, Statius’ Argos narrative triggers the Thebaid’s plot: after the Ovidian Fury Tisiphone reiterates her malediction against Thebes (Theb. 1.89-130) Polynices revives the exile of his ancestor Cadmus by leaving Thebes (Theb. 1.164- 70).1 Having survived a storm (Theb. 1.346-382), he meets Tydeus at Argos and the two are welcomed by the local king Adrastus with a banquet (Theb. 1.380-539). This is the occasion for the old king to tell a complex aetiological tale (Theb. 1.540-672) that explains to the newcomers the origin of the festival for Apollo that Argos is celebrating: the city is thankful to the god (who slew the monster Python) for having spared Coroebus, the hero who killed the monster sent by Apollo himself against Argos as revenge for the death of his lover Psammathe, killed by her father for adultery.

  • The Story of Perseus
    100 BOOK FOUR lines 575-607 PERSEUS 101 May I become a serpent, with a body Of the same stock, still kept him out of Argos, Stretched full-length forward!" Even as he spoke Took anns against the god, would not admit him He stretched out full-length forward, felt his skin The son of Jove. Nor would he grant that Perseus Harden, and scales increase, and mottled markings Was also son of jove, the child begotten Sprinkle his blackening body. He fell forward, On Danae in the golden rain. But truth Crawled on his belly, with his legs behind him Is powerful: Acrisius learned repentauce Drawn in, and tapering. He still had arms For his attack on the god, and his denial And tried to reach them forward; his cheeks were human, Of his own grandson. Bacchus was in Heaven, And tears ran down them, as he cried: "Come nearer, But Perseus, bringing back the wondrous trophy My poor dear wife, while there is something left Of the snake~haired monster, through thin air was cleaving For you to come to; come and touch my hand His way on whirring wings. As he flew over Before I have no hand, am wholly serpent." The Libyan sands, drops from the Gorgon's head He wanted to say more, but found his tongue FeU bloody on the ground, and earth received them Suddenly forked; instead of words, a hissing Turning them into vipers. For this reason Spoke his lament: Nature had left him nothing Libya, today, is full of deadly serpents.

  • Elements of Horror in Statius' Thebaid
    Faculteit Letteren & Wijsbegeerte Nick Brantegem Elements of Horror in Statius' Thebaid Masterproef voorgelegd tot het behalen van de graad van Master in de taal- en letterkunde Engels - Latijn 2014 Promotor Prof. dr. W. Verbaal Vakgroep Letterkunde Acknowledgements There are a great deal of people without whom I could never have finished this thesis. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Wim Verbaal for his great deal of patience, honesty and support, and for providing me with this thesis topic that was very much situated in my fields of interest, and who, subsequently, actually allowed me to write about it. Another person I must thank, though I have never met him, is Prof. Noëll Carroll, whose efforts in the field of horror studies made this thesis possible. Not a lot of people have dared to write such an extensive work on the characteristics of horror, and certainly, none have succeeded at doing so more than him. Without his book to guide me through the dark recesses of horror, I would have been lost for a very long time. I would not dare forget to thank my family, for all the help and support they’ve given me over the last two years. My mother and sister in particular were always there to support me with the same old encouragements and they actually worked more than I thought they would. I am also very grateful to my brother, Tom, and my dear friend, Silke B., who both proofread and spellchecked a large part of my thesis and pointed me to the fact that I use the word “simply” far too much.
