I have seen a packed room of professors buzz with self-forgetful anticipation, heard one senior academic whisper to another, “It’s like waiting for a rock star,” before you entered a room once to read a paper. You entered and apologized, oblivious to their regard and embarrassed to have kept them waiting: “My printer, Dears, she hates me.” Thank you for being unusual. Thank you for being humble and generous as a person, but unyielding and unapologetic in your work. I have seen students turn to you as to a mother, and I have seen seasoned scholars unravel at your critique. You have eviscerated my bad arguments and helped me write better ones. You have modeled a form of academia that doesn’t indulge in self-promotion but is quietly dedicated to the hard work of making the better argument. For the better part of the last twenty years (is it possible?), and with precious little justification, you have encouraged and supported me in everything I’ve done. Through years and years of good conversation and loud, long laughter, you have helped me steer a course between the Scylla and Charybdis of vanity and self-loathing peculiar to academic life, and you have always pointed me homeward, to the gifts of time, place, and people the Lord has given me. Just before John was born, you said to me, “Oh, Sweetheart, with a child in your life, every day is Christmas.” I couldn’t have known how right you were. You are my great friend and guide. I only wish the whole world knew and read you. To Julia, you are wheels within wheels, smiles within smiles, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz without the curtain, the smoke, or the machine. We all know you basically run the humanities department, maybe the entire university. Thank God for that. You have been unflaggingly supportive of myself and everyone who has ever passed through our department. From all of us, thank you. To Elizabeth, poet and mentor, thank you for modeling the craftsmanship and hard work of deep scholarship and meaningful pedagogy. Thank you for not being faddish. Thank you for being patient and stubborn and kind. Thank you for treating the work we do seriously and carefully. It is all craft, and you are the guild-master. To Jane, my first professor, you spotted a teenager of very modest intelligence in his first class at UCI and wrote him an email to encourage his engagement with the material and offer help along the way. I have never forgotten that. You treated me seriously as a person and as a thinker when I had done nothing to earn it except be a student for one week in one of your classes. What uncommon grace. It motivated me in ways that would be difficult to enumerate. Thank you for combining brilliance and rigor with true excitement. Everything is alive and consequential in a Jane Newman seminar. The gratitude I owe my parents is enormous. Mom, you have been the most pivotal teacher in my life. You shaped my mind and heart and taught me to love what is good. Thank you for all the stories you read to me and the books you gave me when I was young. And thank you for all the love and all the disagreements, and all the love on the other side of all the disagreements, now that I am older. Dad, your support has been one of the surest things in my life since I left home almost two decades ago. Your hard work, humility, and steadfast faith are the very things I hope my children see in me someday. Thank you both for praying and praying and praying. It has made all the difference. iv To the little church, my great big beautiful, struggling, celebrating, sobbing, singing, persevering, learning, breaking, changing, growing, laughing, healing family: if only you knew what you have meant to me these many years. Thank you for your patience while I did this and so often had my time divided. May we finish the race together. Finally, to my Lisa: what words can there be for the love we share? For the support and strength you’ve been to me? Thank you for walking through those hills with me, for talking with me late into the night, night after night, until things eventually got clearer and clearer. Thank you for letting me sail off every morning to play this little game of books and words and ideas, and for letting me sail back again each evening to laugh and feast and dream. You are my best friend. What a joy it has been to discover that all this time we were already home. Lovely Lisa by the sea. And now these little ones. It’s a wonderful life.

Silver, Chair In this dissertation, I argue that romance, as a conceptual mode, refuses the inexorability and the finality of the tragic by uniquely admitting the force of the sacred without banishing the secular or erasing the phenomenal world. By refusing to give tragedy the last word, romance rejects the antinomianism at the heart of both agonistic and liberationist secularization theses of the late modern West. It has been usual, however, to look at romance from the vantage of the classical, Graeco-Roman tradition, seeing in it not a radical mode that supersedes the tragic and subverts the ideal, but a conservative mode that idealizes the aristocratic class, justifies the status quo, and correlates the beautiful with the good. I argue there is a second, often overlooked genealogy of romance, whose basic grammar parallels that of classical romance yet inverts many of its central assumptions.

  • The-Odyssey-Greek-Translation.Pdf
    05_273-611_Homer 2/Aesop 7/10/00 1:25 PM Page 273 HOMER / The Odyssey, Book One 273 THE ODYSSEY Translated by Robert Fitzgerald The ten-year war waged by the Greeks against Troy, culminating in the overthrow of the city, is now itself ten years in the past. Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.

Since the nineties, a popularity for rereading medieval literary works in order to uncover as of yet unfrequently-discussed same-sex elements has been growing steadily.1 This form of rereading, commonly called “queering” historical literature, generally aims to highlight homosocial affection and explore its potentially homoromantic connotations within their historical contexts.

  • Eris and Epos Composition, Competition, and the Domestication of Strife
    Eris and Epos Composition, Competition, and the Domestication of Strife Joel P. Christensen Brandeis University [email protected] Abstract This article examines the development of the theme of eris in Hesiod and Homer. Start- ing from the relationship between the destructive strife in the Theogony (225) and the two versions invoked in the Works and Days (11–12), I argue that considering the two forms of strife as echoing zero and positive sum games helps us to identify the cultural and compositional force of eris as cooperative competition. After establishing eris as a compositional theme from the perspective of oral poetics, I then argue that it develops from the perspective of cosmic history, that is, from the creation of the universe in Hes- iod’s Theogony through the Homeric epics and into its double definition in the Works and Days.To explore and emphasize how this complementarity is itself a manifestation of eris, I survey its deployment in our major extant epic poems. Keywords eris – competition – conflict – poetics – rivalry In Cypria fr. 1, Zeus fans “the flames of the great strife of the Trojan war / to lighten the [earth’s] burden with death” (ῥιπίσσας πολέμου μεγάλην ἔριν Ἰλιακοῖο, 5).* Similarly, in Hesiod (fr. 204 M-W), when strife divides the gods at the birth of Hermione—“all the gods were of two minds / because of the strife” (πάν- τες δὲ θεοὶ δίχα θυμὸν ἔθεντο / ἐξ ἔριδος, 94–95)—Zeus hastens the destruction of the Heroes: “And then he hastened to extinguish the great race of human * A version of this article was given at the Heartland Graduate Conference in Ancient Stud- ies at the University of Missouri in 2015.

    THE CYCLOPS IN THE ODYSSEY, ULYSSES, AND ASTERIOS POLYP: HOW ALLUSIONS AFFECT MODERN NARRATIVES AND THEIR HYPOTEXTS by DELLEN N. MILLER A THESIS Presented to the Department of English and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts December 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Dellen N. Miller for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of English to be taken December 2016 Title: The Cyclops in The Odyssey, Ulysses, and Asterios Polyp: How Allusions Affect Modern Narratives and Their Hypotexts Approved: _________________________________________ Paul Peppis The Odyssey circulates throughout Western society due to its foundation of Western literature. The epic poem thrives not only through new editions and translations but also through allusions from other works. Texts incorporate allusions to add meaning to modern narratives, but allusions also complicate the original text. By tying two stories together, allusion preserves historical works and places them in conversation with modern literature. Ulysses and Asterios Polyp demonstrate the prevalence of allusions in books and comic books. Through allusions to both Polyphemus and Odysseus, Joyce and Mazzucchelli provide new ways to read both their characters and the ancient Greek characters they allude to. ii Acknowledgements I would like to sincerely thank Professors Peppis, Fickle, and Bishop for your wonderful insight and assistance with my thesis. Thank you for your engaging courses and enthusiastic approaches to close reading literature and graphic literature. I am honored that I may discuss Ulysses and Asterios Polyp under the close reading practices you helped me develop.

  • The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales
    The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales ERODOTUS never fails to fascinate with his rich and detailed descriptions of the varied peoples and nations H mustered against Greece by Xerxes;1 but one of his most tantalizing details, a brief notice of the existence of an oracle of Ares somewhere in Asia Minor, has received little comment. This is somewhat understandable, as the name of the proprietary people or nation has disappeared in a textual lacuna, and while restoring the name of the lost tribe has ab- sorbed the energies of some commentators, no moderns have commented upon the remarkable and unexpected oracle of Ares itself. As we shall see, more recent epigraphic finds can now be adduced to show that this oracle, far from being the fantastic product of logioi andres, was merely one manifestation of Ares’ unusual cultic prominence in south/southwestern Asia Minor from “Homeric” times to Late Antiquity.
