  • Does Κεφαλη (“Head”) Mean “Source” Or “Authority Over” in Greek
    Wayne Grudem, “Does Kefalh (“Head”) Mean “Source” Or “Authority Over” in Greek Literature? A Survey of 2,336 Examples,” Trinity Journal ns 6.1 (Spring 1985): 38-59. Does Kefalh (“Head”) Mean “Source” Or “Authority Over” in Greek Literature? A Survey of 2,336 Examples* Wayne Grudem Trinity Evangelical Divinity School [p.38] (One of the sensitive issues currently being discussed in many churches and seminaries is what the Bible has to say about women. So much has been written on this subject during the past decade that it is now becoming difficult to find anything new or fresh or challenging: positions are becoming hardened, justified by the same arguments someone else has already advanced, without close and humble examination of the validity of those arguments. Dr. Grudem’s article breaks that mold: his essay examines an enormous quantity of primary data to provide some controls in establishing the meaning of “head” and “headship” in the New Testament—and as a result he demonstrates convincingly that one major strand of modern interpretation, repeated from book to book, is simply wrong. Because of the primary nature of this research, we have decided to publish his essay here, even though it is simultaneously being published as an appendix to the new edition of George Knight’s The Role Relationship of Men and Women, published by Moody Press. —Ed.) When the New Testament says that the “head of every man is Christ” and “the head of a woman is the man” (1 Cor 11:3), or that “the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church” (Eph 5:23), Christians have usually understood the word head to mean “authority over.” Thus, Christ is the authority over the church and a husband is the authority over his wife.

    Devising Descent Mime, Katabasis and Ritual in Theocritus’ Idyll 15 Hans Jorgen Hansen A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Classics. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Dr. William H. Race Dr. Owen Goslin Dr. Werner Riess Abstract Hans Jorgen Hansen: Devising Descent: Mime, Katabasis and Ritual in Theocritus’ Idyll 15 (Under the direction of Dr. William H. Race) In this thesis I investigate the genres and structure of Theocritus’ fifteenth Idyll, as well as its katabatic and ritual themes. Though often considered an urban mime, only the first 43 lines exhibit the formal qualities of mime found in Herodas’ Mimiambi, the only other surviving corpus of Hellenistic mime. The counterpoint to the mimic first section is the Adonia that makes up the last section of the poem and amounts to an urban recasting of pastoral poetry. A polyphonic, katabatic journey bridges the mimic and pastoral sections and is composed of four encounters that correspond to ordeals found in ritual katabases. The structure of the poem is then tripartite, beginning in the profane world of the household mime, progressing through the liminal space of the streets and ending in the sacred world of the Adonia. This progression mirrors Theocritus’ evolution from Syracusan mimic poet to Alexandrian pastoral poet. ii Table of Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Mime and Structure in the Adoniazusae 6 1.1: Introduction 6 1.2.1: The Formal Features of Herodas’ Poetry 12 1.2.2: Homophony and Herodas’ Fourth Mimiamb 21 1.3.1: Theocritus’ Household-Mime 26 1.3.2: The Streets of Alexandria and Theocritus’ Polyphonic Mime 32 1.4: Conclusion 41 Chapter 2: Katabasis and Ritual in the Adoniazusae 44 2.1: Introduction 44 2.2: The Katabatic Structure, Characters and Imagery of Theoc.

  • Euripides and Gender: the Difference the Fragments Make
    Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Ruby Blondell, Chair Deborah Kamen Olga Levaniouk Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2013 Melissa Karen Anne Funke University of Washington Abstract Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ruby Blondell Department of Classics Research on gender in Greek tragedy has traditionally focused on the extant plays, with only sporadic recourse to discussion of the many fragmentary plays for which we have evidence. This project aims to perform an extensive study of the sixty-two fragmentary plays of Euripides in order to provide a picture of his presentation of gender that is as full as possible. Beginning with an overview of the history of the collection and transmission of the fragments and an introduction to the study of gender in tragedy and Euripides’ extant plays, this project takes up the contexts in which the fragments are found and the supplementary information on plot and character (known as testimonia) as a guide in its analysis of the fragments themselves. These contexts include the fifth- century CE anthology of Stobaeus, who preserved over one third of Euripides’ fragments, and other late antique sources such as Clement’s Miscellanies, Plutarch’s Moralia, and Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae. The sections on testimonia investigate sources ranging from the mythographers Hyginus and Apollodorus to Apulian pottery to a group of papyrus hypotheses known as the “Tales from Euripides”, with a special focus on plot-type, especially the rape-and-recognition and Potiphar’s wife storylines.

  • The Aesthetics of Dialect in Hellenistic Epigram
    The Aesthetics of Dialect in Hellenistic Epigram A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics by Taylor S. Coughlan B.A. Carleton College M.A. University of Wisconsin—Madison March 18, 2016 Committee Chair: Kathryn Gutzwiller, Ph.D. Alex Sens, Ph.D. Lauren Ginsberg, Ph.D. i Abstract This dissertation is a study of dialect choice and dialect mixture in Hellenistic book epigram. The aims of the project are not only linguistic, but also literary; indeed, what motivates the study is an overarching interest in understanding how specific dialect choices can enrich the meaning of the poem in which they appear. Scholars have only recently started to include dialect in their readings of individual epigrams, but no one has systematically studied the entire corpus. In order to more fully understand Hellenistic book epigram and its flourishing during a period of great social, cultural, and literary change, we must confront the genre’s use of dialect or otherwise miss out on an important component in this self-conscious genre’s production of poetic meaning. Following an introduction that sets out the interpretive framework for the dissertation and explores issues of dialect transmission in the manuscript tradition, the study falls into two parts, each comprising three chapters. In the first part, I attempt to situate dialect choice and mixture in its poetic and literary-critical contexts. In the first chapter, I investigate dialect usage in pre- Hellenistic Greek poetry, not including inscribed epigram, arguing that dialect mixture for poetic effect existed in Archaic and Classical poetry.

  • Menander's Characters in the Fourth Century BC and Their Reception in Modern Greek Theatre
    Menandrean Characters in Context: Menander’s Characters in the fourth century BC and their reception in Modern Greek Theatre. Stavroula Kiritsi Royal Holloway, University of London PhD in Classics 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Stavroula Kiritsi, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______Stavroula Kiritsi________________ Date: _________27/06/2017_______________ 2 Abstract The thesis explores the way in which character is represented in Menander’s comedies and in the revival, translation, and reception of Menandrean comedy in the modern Greek theatre. Although modern translators and directors may have sought to reproduce the ancient dramas faithfully, they inevitably reshaped and reinterpreted them to conform to audience expectations and the new cultural context. Comparing aspects of character in the ancient and modern plays sheds light on both traditions. In assessing how character was conceived in the Hellenistic period, I make use of ethical works by Aristotle and other philosophers, which provide an appropriate vocabulary for identifying the assumptions of Menander and his audience. For the modern adaptations, I have made extensive use of a variety of archival materials as well as interviews with artists engaged at every stage of the production. The thesis comprises an Introduction, two Parts (I-II), and Conclusion. Part I examines Menandrean characters in the context of the Hellenistic Greek audience and society, with special reference to Aristotle’s and Theophrastus’ accounts of character and emotion. In the first chapter of Part II I survey the ‘loss and survival’ of Menander from antiquity and Hellenistic times, through Byzantium and the post-Byzantine period, to nineteenth-century Greece.

  • The Characters of Theophrastus, Newly Edited and Translated by J.M
    THE LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY EDITED BY T. E. PAGE, LITl-.D. E. CAPPS, PH.D., LL.D. W. H. D. ROUSE, i.ttt.d. THE CHARACTERS OF THEOPHRASTUS HERODES, CERCIDAS, AND THE GREEK CHOLIAMBIC POETS (except callimachus and babrius) THE CHARACTEKS OF THEOPHRASTUS NEWLY EDITED AND TRANSLATED J. M. EDMONDS LATE FELLOW OF JESUS COLLEGE LECTURER IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN LTD NEW YORK: G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS MCMXXIX PA PREFACE The Characters of Theophrastus are a good wine that needs no bush, but it has been bottled anew, and new bottles may need a word of recommendation. The mere existence of an early English translation such as Healey's would hardly justify an archaistic rendering, but the Character, in the hands of Hall, Overbury, and Earle, has become a native genre, and that, I think, is enough to make such a rendering the most palatable. And this style of translation, taunts of ' Wardour Street ' notwithstanding, has a great advantage. Greek, being itself simple, goes best into a simple style of English ; and in the seventeenth century it was still easy to put things simply without making them bald. A simple trans- lation into our modern dialect, if it is to rise above Translator's English, is always difficult and often unattainable. In preparing the text I have discarded rfluch of my earlier work, in the belief, shared no doubt by many scholars, that the discovery of papyrus frag- ments of ancient Greek books has shifted the editor's PREFACE bearings from Constantinople to Alexandria. With the ' doctrine of the normal line,' exploded by A.

  • 1 1 Iphigenia in Oxyrhynchus and India: Greek Tragedy for Everyone
    1 Iphigenia in Oxyrhynchus and India: Greek Tragedy for Everyone Edith Hall, Research Professor, Departments of Classics and Drama, Royal Holloway, University of London Introduction One of the most remarkable finds in the rubbish dumps of Oxyrhynchus was the tattered script for a comic performance set in India and starring a Greek maiden named Charition (POxy 413). This precious text – referred to here henceforward as Charition - takes us with unparalleled vividness into the world of popular theatre entertainment under the Roman Empire in the early or mid-second century AD,1 a time at which theatres were being built all over Roman Egypt.2 Charition is a rare example of a type of performance that was enjoyed in many cities such as Oxyrhynchus, far inland in Upper Egypt, on a tributary of Lake Moeris that formed a branch of the Nile. It offers our most extended example of the delineation of the Fool in mime, which is a type of role that informed more elevated and influential literature, including the self-presentation of the Apostle Paul in his account of the flight from Damascus.3 In Charition it is the Fool who supplies most of the humour, playing off the lines given to others by misunderstanding their meaning, taking them too literally, or imitating them to comic effect. The text is also a significant document in theatre history, since it is intimately related to the circumstances of its performance. It indicates the speakers with a rare degree of specificity (‗Α‘ is Charition, ‗Β‘ is her slave who acts as the Fool, ‗Γ‘ is Charition‘s

    Herodas' "Mimiamb 6" Stern, Jacob Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Fall 1979; 20, 3; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 247 Herodas' Mimiamb 6 Jacob Stern ERODAS' Mimiamb 6, it will be suggested in this essay, spoke H to a sophisticated contemporary audience on three levels of meaning: first, as a piece of ribald dialogue characterized especially by obscene double-entendre; secondly, as a burlesque of Orphic myth and ritual; and thirdly, as a statement by the author of his own poetics. Modern commentators have noted the first two of these levels, albeit incompletely; the third has apparently gone un­ recognized. More importantly, it has not been appreciated how the three join together to form a complex work of art; the subject of that work, the baubon or 'dildoe', will be found to serve as an emblem of all three levels of meaning. I t was from Kerdon, Koritto informs her friend Metro, that she obtained the baubon; but as a result of Metro's confusion we hear of not one but three Kerdons in the mime: one who could not even 'stitch a 1Tl\ijK7pOV for a lyre' (51); one who has now grown old, though he had once been the lover of the late Kylaithis (54f); and one who is the man in question, the maker of the baubon, who came from Erythrae or Chios, "das antike Paris." 1 He had had two baubones, Koritto tells us, but she had been able to acquire only one; the whereabouts of the other is left unclear. This curious emphasis on false trails, on pairs of baubones and pairs of false-Kerdons, appears on the one hand intended to imitate the vagaries of ordinary conversa­ tion; but it is also well suited to indicate the multiple levels on which the mime itself functions.

    PAI DEIA rivista di filologia, ermeneutica e critica letteraria FONDATA DA V. PISANI e G. SCARPAT Per i cento anni di Alfredo Ghiselli Estratto da «Paideia » LXXI (2016) Pars prior STILGRAF EDITRICE CESENA DREAM AND VISION IN HERODAS’ EIGHTH MIME , ‘ENHYPNION’ 1 Abstract Herodas’ eighth Mime , although fragmentary, describes a dream the writer had, followed by an interpretation in terms of literary success: although the poems receive much criticism, the dream signifies that they will be rewarded with fame eventually. This paper gives a new interpretation of the dream itself in terms of Dionysiac initiation. New evidence about the Bacchic myste - ries allows us to see allusions in this text to the nocturnal teletai in honour of Dionysos. In this way Herodas, the poet, shows himself initiated into the patron god's secret rites, at which he was awarded a prize. Keywords: Herodas; eighth Mime; Dionysiac initiation; Bacchic mysteries. The eighth of Herodas’ Mimes preserved in a papyrus kept in the British Library is unfortunately in tatters and does not permit conti - nuous reading except in parts 2. But these are enough to discern some important points about the content, even if many questions remain unanswered.
