    Thanks for downloading the lesson plans for our production The Myth-Adventures of Theseus. Why are the arts important? The arts are intrinsic to our lives, but often arts education is an after-thought or considered non- essential. However the arts are how we define ourselves and put our lives and times in context. For example, think of the 1930's, the 1950's and the 1970's. When you think of these decades, what are the first things that come to mind? The fashion? The music? The design of the automobiles? Guess what? All of these things are "the arts!" Sure, you may have thought of who was President, and maybe a few world events came to mind, but you probably first put those decades into context by the various artistic forms that were prevalent at the time. Why is Greek mythology important? Much of our Western culture and thought comes from ancient Greece. Even today our ideas about government, architecture, arts and literature, and our language have been shaped by ancient Greek culture. One of the most enduring parts of the ancient Greek culture is their mythology. In fact, our English word "myth" comes from the Greek word "mythos" which means "a spoken story, legend, or tale." A culture's mythology tells us what the culture finds most important, what behaviors it values, and how it explains natural phenomenon. They also served as morality plays, illustrating the consequences of both good and bad behavior. Since a people's myths are often about what is most important to them, a study of Greek mythology can give us insight into what the Greek people valued.

  • 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.

  • Divine Riddles: a Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014
    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts in Goudy Old Style are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered. Below is an example from Homer’s Iliad, Book One, showing the English translation on the left and the Greek original on the right. When citing this text we might say that Achilles is first mentioned by Homer in Iliad 1.7 (i.7 is also acceptable).

  • Theseus and the Serial Killers Rather Than Traveling the Easy Way From
    Theseus and the Serial Killers Rather than traveling the easy way from Troezen to Athens—by boat across the Isthmus of Corinth—Theseus took the dangerous land route frequented by six criminals because he wanted to make a reputation for himself by facing them and making the road safer for travelers. These outlaws, usually identified as highway robbers, killed for pleasure rather than profit and actually fit the profile of what we now call serial killers. They exhibited sadism and a consistent pattern in their methods of killing as well as employing a level of brutality far beyond that of the typical highwayman of antiquity, usually involving mutilation of the bodies. Notably, the myths say little of what the six criminals did with their monetary spoils, focusing instead on how gruesomely they dispatched their victims. Periphetes, for example, with his club of bronze (or wood, or iron), smashed the skulls of anyone passing by his territory. Periphetes was a cripple; psychologically, serial killing might have been his way of compensating for his deformity (MAYOR). Sciron forced his victims to wash his feet; in his need to humiliate his victims he strongly resembles the power ascendant/dominant serial killer type (VRONSKY). With his victims thus occupied, Sciron kicked them over a cliff, at the bottom of which a giant sea turtle waited to eat them. Procrustes invited exhausted travelers to spend the night at his home and then made sure they fit his guest bed exactly: if they were too tall he cut off the excessive extremities; if they were too short he stretched their limbs with weights.

  • Zachary Wang Kramer, Kuin CLST 4: Classical Mythology Final Project
    Zachary Wang Kramer, Kuin CLST 4: Classical Mythology Final Project Theseus and Hekale Methodology and Notes In this project I sought to write a personal interpretation of the myth of Hekale, taking my main inspiration from Callimachus’ retelling of the tale. The principal challenge that comes with attempting to tell this story is the fragmentary nature of it. The following text relies heavily on the ancient Greek fragments found, with the material either translated from the Greek text (found on Loeb Classics) with aid from the given translation and using definitions from the Online Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek-English Lexicon or influenced and borrowed from the partial translations of the Greek available (namely, the translation from Loeb classics, and Nisetch’s). The two main issues that arise from the fragments are (1) an uncertainty of the order of the story, and (2) large portions of the story being missing. To address (1), I referred to Nisetch’s translation and followed or erred where I saw fit. To address (2), I used my own judgement and creative thinking skills, attempting to maintain a realistic story line. I would like to state clearly that this is not meant to be an accurate translation or academic reconstruction of the poem. This project stemmed from my personal interest in the poem and my wish to have a fluid story without missing pieces. As this is a work of fiction, I did not think a formal works-cited was necessary, nor appropriate. To cite certain sources in my story might portray the opinions of those publications inaccurately.

  • Strangers and Beggars Are from Zeus”: Early Greek Views of Hospitality1 PAMELA JOHNSTON
    “All Strangers and Beggars are from Zeus”: Early Greek Views of Hospitality1 PAMELA JOHNSTON The best lens with which to view early Greek ideas of xenia, hospitality or “guest-friendship” are the two poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed by the Greeks to a blind poet named Homer.2 The Iliad and the Odyssey outline the events surrounding a conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans, which began with a violation of xenia–the abduction by Paris, prince of Troy, of Hel- en (whether as a willing participant or not) from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. In the so-called “Judgment of Paris,” when Paris was called upon to judge the winner of a beauty contest between the three goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera, Paris awarded the title of the “most fair” to Aphrodite, goddess of sexual passion, who bribed Paris with the offer of the most beauti- ful woman in the world, Helen for his bride.3 The vow of protection taken by all suitors for her hand (the so-called “oath of Tyndareus”) was called in, and Agamemnon of Mycenae, Menelaus’ older brother, led the expedition to Troy to return Helen to her rightful husband.4 The ten-year conflict that resulted led to the death of many on both sides, but the Iliad ends before the resolution of the conflict. Other epics, now lost, bridge the gaps before, between and after the events of the Iliad and its sequel, the Odyssey, which concerns itself with the attempts of Odysseus to gain his nostos, or homecoming.5 As he travels home, his many encounters with others give us a useful view of how xenia was ef- fected, both the expectations of same and what happen when xenia is ignored, corrupted or violated.

  • CHAPTER 2 Corinth in a Landscape
    CHAPTER 2 Corinth in a Landscape “Not for every man is the voyage to Corinth” (Strabo 8.6.20) One of the most striking signs of arriving in Ancient Corinth every year is traveling by public transportation from Athens, along the steep coastal road, through the mountain range of Gerania, rounding the bend near Ayioi Theodorii, and seeing Acrocorinth, the most salient physical landmark of the city. That rock is the visual focal point of a trip coming from the Scironian pass and appears as the immediate end to the road from Athens. Even at a distance, it feels near and overshadowing, signaling to the traveler his arrival at Corinth as though the city were already reached in the view of the rock. This limestone rock must have made the ancient journey to Corinth pass more quickly. From the apex of that rock, the visitor acquires a view of the entire structure of Corinthian topography: the western coastal plain that runs to Sicyon and climbs upwards to the hills beyond; the mountains rolling southward to the Argolid; and the fascinating eastern landscape delimited sharply by the two gulfs and constricting to the bottleneck formed at the narrow Isthmus. It is this eastern landscape that is most visually fascinating when viewed from above, giving the city its imageable character and topographic uniqueness among countless Greek poleis to emerge in the Aegean basin. Whether viewed from the peak looking eastward, or from the Isthmus looking westward, the city sits in one of the most visually compelling landscapes of Greece. 39 Figure 2.1.

  • Megara, Athens, and the Mythic Past from 600 BC to 250 BC
    H o r n | i The Battlefield of History: Megara, Athens, and the Mythic Past from 600 BC to 250 BC By Shannon Horn Submitted to Professor Darin Hayton and Professor Paul Smith In partial fulfillment of the requirements of History 400: Senior Thesis Seminar Submitted to Professor Radcliffe Edmonds and Professor Robert Germany In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Classics 399: Senior Conference April 25, 2014 H o r n | ii Abstract In ancient Greece, history and myth were intertwined. The mythic past was a realm where heroes walked alongside gods to found the cities of the classical period. Diplomatic relations, military endeavors, and local identity were justified and created using the mythic past. Myth was not a static body of stories, however. Mythology, and the mythic past, was malleable. Local identity was created through an active and constant process of selection that rewrote the content of the mythic past to create the history best suited to the needs of the present. The cities of Athens and Megara were two such cities that engaged in this process of identity formation through myth. The mythic discourse between the cities shows, however, that the alteration of myth was also an act of aggression that would be met with retaliation and resistance. Myth was used to create local identities, and it was in a city’s best interest to undermine the identity of its enemies. Through iconographic remains and fragmentary textual evidence, the mythic discourse of Athens and Megara can be reassembled from its disparate parts. The most prominent and frequently contested myths were those most important to the political process of identity formation and attack.
