  • Heracles and Philo of Alexandria: the Son of Zeus Between Torah and Philosophy, Empire and Stage
    Chapter 8 Heracles and Philo of Alexandria: The Son of Zeus between Torah and Philosophy, Empire and Stage Courtney J. P. Friesen With few competitors, Heracles was one of the most popular and widely re- vered heroes of Greco-Roman antiquity. Though occupying a marginal place in the Homeric epics, he developed in complex directions within archaic Greek poetry, and in Classical Athens became a favorite protagonist among play- wrights, both of tragedy and comedy. From a famed monster-killer, to the trou- bled murderer of his own children, to the comic buffoon of prolific appetites, Heracles remained fixed in the imagination of ancient Greeks and Romans. Moreover, the son of Zeus was claimed as an ancestor for notable statesmen connected to both Alexandria and Rome (including Philip and Alexander of Macedon, the Ptolemies, and Mark Antony), and he was honored at cultic sites around the Mediterranean, including at the heart of the Roman Empire itself on the Ara Maxima. Jews living around the Greek and Roman world will inevitably have encoun- tered the mythologies and cults of Heracles in various forms. For instance, some Jewish writers, reflecting on this hero in light of their own traditions, made attempts to integrate him within the context of biblical genealogies.1 In addition, a natural correlation existed between Samson and Heracles, and al- ready in antiquity their extraordinary physical might was seen as comparable (Eusebius, PE 10.9.7; Augustine, Civ. 18.19).2 Recently, René Bloch has provided a useful survey of references to Heracles in the writings of Josephus in conjunc- tion with the Jewish historian’s wider engagement with Greek mythology.3 In 1 Cleomedus Malchus has Heracles marry the granddaughter of Abraham (Josephus, AJ 1.240–41); and according to unspecified sources, Heracles was the father of Melchizedek (Epiphanius, Pan.

  • How Far? (Acts 17:16-34), June 22/23, 2013
    How Far? June 22/23, 2013 Digging Deeper (Questions are on the last page) How Far? Written by: Robert Ismon Brown ([email protected]) Background Notes Key Scripture Text: Acts 17:16-34 Introduction How far can we go with this Jesus thing, anyway? Are there really untouchables in the world that must always remain unreached? What do we do when the neediest people around us simply aren’t like us? For those of us living in the U.S., it’s no longer a question of reaching the world outside, because the world has arrived inside our borders, bringing different languages, different cultures, different faiths, and different ideas. And we are anxious about that, and we imagine that such an onslaught of newcomers means less of everything for us: less jobs, less resources, less healthcare, less social services. Anxiety is commonly born of fear that there will never be enough in a closed economy where the rule is scarcity. “They’ve gone too far…” we say about the policy makers. But not everybody thinks like that. There are some who embrace the vision of a different world, where anxiety is replaced by trusting fidelity and where scarcity is replaced by abundance. Some say that God is the Creator of heaven and earth. Some say the Creator has invested the world with more than enough. Some say that God has already gone the far distance from His infinite self to the world’s finite need, and that He is in fact already in our midst in Jesus of Nazareth. And some say He has providentially brought the mission to us, and so now we must choose whether to see the developments in our generation as a horrible tragedy of epic proportions — an epic fail — or whether to see them as the Great Surprise from the God who wants all of His lost children found.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

Artikel/Article: Stonefly names from classical times 37-43 STONEFLY NAMES FROM CLASSICAL TIMES W. E. Ricker Recently I amused myself by checking the stonefly names that seem to be based on the names of real or mythological persons or localities of ancient Greece and Rome. I had copies of Bulfinch’s "Age of Fable," Graves; "Greek Myths," and an "Atlas of the Ancient World," all of which have excellent indexes; also Brown’s "Composition of Scientific Words," And I have had assistance from several colleagues. It turned out that among the stonefly names in lilies’ 1966 Katalog there are not very many that appear to be classical, although I may have failed to recognize a few. There were only 25 in all, and to get even that many I had to fudge a bit. Eleven of the names had been proposed by Edward Newman, an English student of neuropteroids who published around 1840. What follows is a list of these names and associated events or legends, giving them an entomological slant whenever possible. Greek names are given in the latinized form used by Graves, for example Lycus rather than Lykos. I have not listed descriptive words like Phasganophora (sword-bearer) unless they are also proper names. Also omitted are geographical names, no matter how ancient, if they are easily recognizable today — for example caucasica or helenica. alexanderi Hanson 1941, Leuctra.

Greece is a country that is enclosed with hills and mountains alongside short riv- ers and fertile va lleys. Even though Greek people were living in separate city-states, they were unit- ed under national pride, common temples, same rituals and games like Olympic. Sports were the most important parts of most Greek men. Gym and music alongside each other, fed the body and the soul of the athletes. They admired the beauty of well-trained men. They believed in multiple gods who were living in Holy mount of Olympus under the reign of greater god, Zeus and they held many rituals to satisfy them and Olympic was the most famous rituals amongst others.
