  • Orthoptera : Gryllidae) of the World
    ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF OECANTHINAE (ORTHOPTERA : GRYLLIDAE) OF THE WORLD THOMASJ. WALKER Department of Entomology, University of Florida, Gainesville The most recent listing of the Oecanthinae of the world is in Volume 2 of Kirby's Syno.nymic Catalogtie of Orthopte~a(1906, p. 72-76). Since then the number of described species has doubled and studies of the spe- cies in Africa (Chopard 1932), the United States (T. Walker 1962a, 1963), and Latin America (T. Walker 1967) have revealed new synonymies. The list below sumniarizes present knowledge of oecanthine taxonomy, nornen- clature, and geographic distribution. Keys to the species of Oecanthinae in specific areas are in the studies listed above and in Tarbinsky (1932, USSR), Chopard (1936, Ceylon), and Chopard (1951, Australia). Little has been published on the biology of Oecanthinae with the exception of Oecaizthlts pellzlcens of Europe (Chopard 1938, M.-C. Busnel 1954, M.-C. and R.-G. Busnel 1954) and various U. S. species (Fulton 1915, 1925, 1926a, 1926b; T. Walker 1957, 1962a, 196213, 1963). The following conventions are used in the checkl~st: After the word Type, a single asterisk ( ) means that the condition and place of deposit of the type specimen were confirmed by correspondence. A double asterisk (' ') means that I have examined the type specimen. Data concerning the present status of the type specimen are separated by a semi-colon from data on the place and date of collection and the collector. Abbreviations are used for the following museums: Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ANSP) ; British Nuseum (Nat. Hist.), Lon- don, England (BM); Universitetets Zoologiske Museum, Copenhagen, Den- mark (Copenhngen) ; Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Genhve, Switzerland (Gmzi.ce) ; Museum Nattonal d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (Paris) ; Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden (Stocliholnz) ; Universi- ty of Michigan Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan (UMMZ); United States National hlluseum, Washington, D.

  • The Making of a Prostitute: Apollodoros's Portrait Of
    Apollodoros’s Portrait of Neaira 161 THE MAKING OF A PROSTITUTE: APOLLODOROS’S PORTRAIT OF NEAIRA1 ALLISON GLAZEBROOK Apollodoros’s account of the life of Neaira ([Demosthenes] 59.16–49) is the most extensive narrative extant on a historical woman from the classical period. The recent publication of Debra Hamel’s book, Trying Neaira: The True Story of a Courtesan’s Scandalous Life in Ancient Greece (2003), has made the famous speech against Neaira and its recent scholarship accessible to a popular audience. The strength of Hamel’s work lies in the political, legal, and social context she provides for the speech, along with her ques- tioning of the various claims Apollodoros makes about Neaira’s “children” and her conclusion that he never proves beyond a doubt that Neaira has been acting as Stephanos’s wife. But does Apollodoros offer “the true story” of Neaira’s life as a courtesan, as Hamel’s title so boldly claims?2 The narrative detail of the speech and the testimony of witnesses convince Hamel (2003.156) that Apollodoros accurately portrays the events of Neaira’s early life. While one function of such witnesses was to attest to the veracity of a speaker’s comments, as in the modern day, their second 1A version of this paper was originally presented at the APA annual meeting in San Diego (2001). I would like to thank the audience for their lively discussion and helpful response, as well as Susan Cole, for her many suggestions, and my anonymous readers whose comments proved most fruitful. 2There is an assumption that oratory is a more objective source of evidence on women than other genres (Pomeroy 1975.x–xi).

  • The CULT of Cybele the Cult of Cybele
    A Study on The CULT of Cybele The Cult of Cybele The cult of Cybele is said to have originated in Asia Minor, near Pergamum. As a deity connected to the concerns of women, as a healer, and as a protector from enemies, Cybele was often associated with Rhea, mother of Zeus and Demeter. Cybele is known by several epithets, such as Magna Mater and Mater Deum (deum = deorum, a syncopated poetic form). Her home was said to be Mount Ida, near the city of Troy. Early depictions show her first as a lump of black stone, then as an earth mother. After the Greeks colonised Asia Minor, the cult spread -- but not without violence. A priest of Cybele is said to have been murdered while trying to introduce the cult into Athens. When the city was struck by a plague, Greeks consulted an oracle (probably the one at Delphi) and were told to build a temple to Cybele. The goddess Cybele During the second Punic War, Hannibal was having much success subduing towns and villages in Italy and was approaching Rome. The Senate consulted the Sybilline Books and learned that, should a foreign enemy invade Italy, he could be deterred only if the worship of the "Mother of Mount Ida" were brought to Rome. Always ones to hedge their bets, the Romans sent a delegation to the oracle at Delphi. A treaty was made with Philip V of Macedon and he permitted the Romans to bring back to Rome both the statue and a black meteorite that personified the divine Cybele.

  • Envy and Jealousy in Classical Athens
    Envy and Jealousy in Classical Athens submitted by Edward Mark Sanders at UCL for the degree of PhD 1 I, Edward Mark Sanders, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed ……………………………… Date ……………………………… 2 Abstract Emotions differ between cultures, especially in their eliciting conditions, social acceptability, forms of expression, and co-extent of terminology. This thesis examines the psychological sensation and social expression of envy and jealousy in Classical Athens. Previous scholarship on envy and jealousy (Walcot 1978, Konstan and Rutter 2003) has primarily taken a lexical approach, focusing on usage of the Greek words phthonos (envy, begrudging spite, possessive jealousy) and zêlos (emulative rivalry). This lexical approach has value, especially in dealing with texts and civilizations from the past, but also limitations. These are particularly apparent with envy and jealousy in ancient Greece as: a) overt expression of phthonos is taboo; b) there is no Classical Greek label for sexual jealousy. Accordingly a different, complementary approach is required, which reads the expressed values and actions of entire situations. Building on recent developments in the reading of emotion episodes in classical texts, this thesis applies to Athenian culture and literature insights on the contexts, conscious and subconscious motivations, subjective manifestations, and indicative behaviours of envy and jealousy, derived from modern (post-1950) philosophical, psychological, psychoanalytical, sociological and anthropological scholarship. This enables the exploration of both the explicit theorisation and evaluation of envy and jealousy, and also more oblique ways in which they find expression across different genres.

It had not been designed by him for a treatise by itself, as appears from the following notice on the title-page, namely : " Intended to be prefixed to the Second Volume of the ' Select Specimens of Ancient Sculpture^ published by the Society of Dilettanti ; but the necessarily slow progress ot that work, in the exhausted state of the funds to be applied to it, affording the author little probability of seeing its com- pletion, he has been induced to print a few copies of this pro- posed Part of it, that any information which he may have been able to collect upon a subject so interesting to all lovers of Elegant Art, may not be lost to his successors in such pur- suits, but receive any additions and corrections which may render it more worthy to appear in the splendid form, and with the beautiful Illustrations of the preceding volume."
