  • Homer: an Arabic Portrait1
    Edin Muftić Homer: An Arabic portrait1 Homer is rightfully seen as the first teacher of Hellenism, the poet who educated the Greek, who in turn educated Europe. But, as is well known, Europe doesn’t have a monopoly on Greek heritage. It was also present in the Islamic tradition, where it manifested itself differently. Apart from phi- losophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine and pharmacology, Greek poetry, even if usually not translated, was also widely read among the Arab-Islamic intellectual elite. The author analyses the extent to which Homer’s works circulated, how well known were his poetics, and the influence his verses exerted during the heyday of Classical Arab-Islamic civilization. Keywords: Homer; translation movement; Al-Biruni; arabic poetry; Al-Farabi; Averroes INTRODUCTION The Greek and Arab epic tradition have much in common. Themes of tribal enmity, invasions and plunder, abduction of women, revenge, heroism, chivalry and love feature prom- inently in both traditions. While the Greeks have Hercules, Perseus, Theseus, Odysseus, Jason or Achilles, the Arabs have ʻAntar bin Šaddād (the “Arab Achilles”), Sayf bin ī Yazan, Az-Zīr Sālim and many others. When it comes to the actual performance of poetry, similarities be- Ḏ tween the two traditions are even greater. Homeric aoidos playing his lyre has a direct coun- terpart in Arab rawin playing his rababa. The Arab wandering poet often shares the fate of his Greek colleague (Imruʼ al-Qays, arafa and Al-Aʻšá, and Abū Nuwās and Al-Mutanabbī are the most famous examples). Greek tyrants who were famous for hosting poets like Ibycus, Anacre- Ṭ on, Simonides, Bacchylides or Pindar, while expelling others like Alcaeus, have a royal counter- part in An-Nuʻmān bin al-Mun ir, the ruler of Hira.

  • MEDEA in OVID's METAMORPHOSES and the OVIDE MORALISE: TRANSLATION AS TRANSMISSION Joel N
    MEDEA IN OVID'S METAMORPHOSES AND THE OVIDE MORALISE: TRANSLATION AS TRANSMISSION Joel N. Feimer Ovide Moralist of the early fourteenth century is much more than a translation into Old French of the first-century Latin Metamorphoses of Ovid. It has long been observed that mediaeval translators were not driven by a passion for "accuracy," or torn by a sense of the futility of their task as their modern counterparts have been. As a comparison of the two texts clearly shows, the mediaeval poet augmented Ovid's work where he found it lacking, displaying an encyclopaedic erudition in the process. The author ,1 2 of Ovide Moralise also adapted the pagan content of Ovid's Metamorphoses to convey Christian dogma to his audience. Every narrative element, every character, and every symbol is employed to represent a Christian signifi• cance by means of allegorical exegeses which are as long as or longer than the passages they explicate. An excellent example of the mediaeval poet's use of his translation of Ovid's text to transmit his orthodox mediaeval vision to his audience may be found in his treatment of the story and character of Medea from Book VII of The Metamorphoses. Ovide Moralise contains the most complete portrait of Medea among the mediaeval narrations of her story.3 It traces the tale from Jason's acceptance of the quest to obtain the Golden Fleece to Medea's attempt to poison Theseus and her subsequent escape. To be sure, there are a number of works in both vernacular and Latin to which the title, Ovide Moralise, has been ascribed.

  • Introduction: Medea in Greece and Rome
    INTRODUCTION: MEDEA IN GREECE AND ROME A J. Boyle maiusque mari Medea malum. Seneca Medea 362 And Medea, evil greater than the sea. Few mythic narratives of the ancient world are more famous than the story of the Colchian princess/sorceress who betrayed her father and family for love of a foreign adventurer and who, when abandoned for another woman, killed in revenge both her rival and her children. Many critics have observed the com­ plexities and contradictions of the Medea figure—naive princess, knowing witch, faithless and devoted daughter, frightened exile, marginalised alien, dis­ placed traitor to family and state, helper-màiden, abandoned wife, vengeful lover, caring and filicidal mother, loving and fratricidal sister, oriental 'other', barbarian saviour of Greece, rejuvenator of the bodies of animals and men, killer of kings and princesses, destroyer and restorer of kingdoms, poisonous stepmother, paradigm of beauty and horror, demi-goddess, subhuman monster, priestess of Hecate and granddaughter of the sun, bride of dead Achilles and ancestor of the Medes, rider of a serpent-drawn chariot in the sky—complex­ ities reflected in her story's fragmented and fragmenting history. That history has been much examined, but, though there are distinguished recent exceptions, comparatively little attention has been devoted to the specifically 'Roman' Medea—the Medea of the Republican tragedians, of Cicero, Varro Atacinus, Ovid, the younger Seneca, Valerius Flaccus, Hosidius Geta and Dracontius, and, beyond the literary field, the Medea of Roman painting and Roman sculp­ ture. Hence the present volume of Ramus, which aims to draw attention to the complex and fascinating use and abuse of this transcultural heroine in the Ro­ man intellectual and visual world.

  • Magic and the Roman Emperors
    1 MAGIC AND THE ROMAN EMPERORS (1 Volume) Submitted by Georgios Andrikopoulos, to the University of Exeter as a thesis/dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, July 2009. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................... (signature) 2 Abstract Roman emperors, the details of their lives and reigns, their triumphs and failures and their representation in our sources are all subjects which have never failed to attract scholarly attention. Therefore, in view of the resurgence of scholarly interest in ancient magic in the last few decades, it is curious that there is to date no comprehensive treatment of the subject of the frequent connection of many Roman emperors with magicians and magical practices in ancient literature. The aim of the present study is to explore the association of Roman emperors with magic and magicians, as presented in our sources. This study explores the twofold nature of this association, namely whether certain emperors are represented as magicians themselves and employers of magicians or whether they are represented as victims and persecutors of magic; furthermore, it attempts to explore the implications of such associations in respect of the nature and the motivations of our sources. The case studies of emperors are limited to the period from the establishment of the Principate up to the end of the Severan dynasty, culminating in the short reign of Elagabalus.

  • Emma Buckley, School of Classics, St Andrews University
    7384 words excluding bibliography ‘Ending the Argonautica: Giovanni Battista Pio’s Argonautica-Supplement (1519)’ Emma Buckley, School of Classics, St Andrews University Introduction: ancient Argonauticas The Argonautica – the tale of Jason, his quest for the Golden Fleece alongside a band of Argonaut brothers, and his capture of the Fleece with the help of the Colchian witch- maiden Medea – is a very old story indeed: Argo is already marked out in Homer’s Odyssey as “well known to all” (πᾶσι μέλουσα, Od.12.70). Time and again authors of classical antiquity, both Greek and Roman, addressed the quest for the Fleece and its aftermath, in lyric (Pindar’s fourth Pythian), elegy (Ovid’s 12th Heroides), and of course tragedy, where Euripides’ and Seneca’s Medeas to this day dominate in modern receptions of the myth. The tale not just of the attainment of the Fleece, but also the adventures of the Argonauts along the way, was, however, tackled most fully in the Hellenistic Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius (written in the first half of the third century BC). Apollonius’ four-book epic – not only a narrative of marvellous adventures but also a treasure trove of aetiological, genealogical, ethnographical and scientific writing – sparked intense emulative response from Latin imitators, above all in the Argonautica of Varro Atacinus (now existing only in fragments), a late first-century BC translation of Apollonius that acculturated the Greek mythological epic to the contemporary nautical exploits of Julius Caesar.1 But it would take the arrival of a new imperial dynasty, the Flavians, and another emperor famed for sea-faring exploits – Vespasian – for a Roman author to treat the myth of Argo once again in epic.

Modern scholars study myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient Greece and its civilization and gain an idea of the nature of myth-making. Greek myths were originally propaged in the oral-poetic tradition, most likely Minoan and Mycenaean singers, beginning in the 18th century BC; In the end, the myths about the heroes of the Trojan War and its aftermath became part of the oral tradition of epic poems by Homer, Iliad and Odyssey.
