  • "On the Relations of Canaanite Exploration to Pre-Historic Classic
    176 ON THE RELATIONS OF CANAANITE EXPLORATION These inecriptions, and the bas-reliefs on the monument called Kamna Hurmill, in Crelo-Syria, near the source of the Orontes, and possibly of the same pe1·iod, are an enigma, as yet, to the most learned Orientaliots. It is to be hoped, however, now that attention is again called to the subject, that the clue may be found that shall unlock their meaning, and that Northern 8yI"ia will be no longer overlooked by tho explorer. DISCOVERY AT THE l\IOSQUE EL AKS.A, JERUSALEM.-llo A DISCOVERY of considerable interest has been made in this :Mosque by the Rev. J. Neil, who has only recently gone to Jerusalem for the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. "In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.

  • History of India
    HISTORY OF INDIA VOLUME - 9 A Typical Indian Idol History of India Edited by A. V. Williams Jackson, Ph.D., LL.D., Professor of Indo-Iranian Languages in Columbia University Volume 9 – Historic Accounts of India by Foreign Travelers Classic, Oriental, and Occidental Collected and Arranged by A. V. Williams Jackson 1907 Reproduced by Sani H. Panhwar (2018) Introduction by the Editor In this volume I have endeavored to present a picture of India as it appeared to foreign travelers who visited it at different periods in its history. Greek, Latin, Chinese, Arabic, Persian, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and English sources have been drawn upon, since these are the historic nations which have come into direct or indirect contact with India. Among classical writers Strabo was given a preference, both for particular merits of his own and because his description of India includes the reports of his countrymen, Megasthenes, Onesikritos, and others, who accompanied Alexander the Great on his invading march into the land of the Indus. In the second chapter, in which the story of the practice of widow-burning, from the earliest ages to the time of its abolition, is told, space has been found for several Latin allusions, besides the Greek, Moslem, and European references to this ancient custom. The third chapter will be found to prove that the Chinese Buddhist pilgrim, Hivan Tsang, was not only a pious devotee of India’s broader creed, but also a keen observer and careful recorder of what he saw in the land of the faith that he loved. For the earlier Moslem period I have chosen a selection from the famous al-Biruni and have added an excerpt from the Persian geographer Mustaufi, better known to us as al-Kazvini.

    386 Literaturkritik Simon Hornblower, Lykophron’s Alexandra, Rome and the Hellenistic World, Oxford (Oxford University Press) 2018, XXIV, 254 S., ISBN 978-0-19-87236-8 (geb.), £ 63,– Besprochen von Andrew Erskine, E-Mail: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.1515/klio-2021-2042 The Alexandra is a perplexing, enigmatic poem that takes the form of a prophecy spoken by Kassandra before the onset of the Trojan War, as retold to Priam by the man charged with guarding her. As such it was never going to be without prob- lems of interpretation, but the one that has vexed scholars the most is the ques- tion of its date. The poem was attributed in antiquity to Lykophron, a tragedian Open Access. © 2021 Andrew Erskine, published by De Gruyter.

Literaturkritik 387 and poet at the court of Ptolemy II Philadelphos (282–246 BC), but Kassandra’s predictions of Roman power have often been considered to be inconsistent with an early-to-mid-third-century context. Scholars can be roughly divided into three camps, those who stick with the attested date, those argue that the Roman lines are an interpolation, and those who move the whole poem to the early second century after Rome’s defeat of Philip V of Macedon. Simon H(ornblower) is firmly in the latter camp and argued the case in detail in his 2015 commentary on the poem. The present book could be described as a historical companion to the com- mentary and takes it a step further.

  • Iconography of the Gorgons on Temple Decoration in Sicily and Western Greece
    ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE By Katrina Marie Heller Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2010 Copyright 2010 by Katrina Marie Heller All Rights Reserved ii ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE Katrina Marie Heller, B.S. University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, 2010 This paper provides a concise analysis of the Gorgon image as it has been featured on temples throughout the Greek world. The Gorgons, also known as Medusa and her two sisters, were common decorative motifs on temples beginning in the eighth century B.C. and reaching their peak of popularity in the sixth century B.C. Their image has been found to decorate various parts of the temple across Sicily, Southern Italy, Crete, and the Greek mainland. By analyzing the city in which the image was found, where on the temple the Gorgon was depicted, as well as stylistic variations, significant differences in these images were identified. While many of the Gorgon icons were used simply as decoration, others, such as those used as antefixes or in pediments may have been utilized as apotropaic devices to ward off evil. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my family and friends for all of their encouragement throughout this project. A special thanks to my parents, Kathy and Gary Heller, who constantly support me in all I do. I need to thank Dr Jim Theler and Dr Christine Hippert for all of the assistance they have provided over the past year, not only for this project but also for their help and interest in my academic future.

  • The Enchantment of Calabria Published on Iitaly.Org (
    The Enchantment of Calabria Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The Enchantment of Calabria Goffredo Palmerini (August 04, 2018) The Ionian coast of Calabria—those looking to escape the crowds are in for a real treat. Less developed than the Tyrrhenian side of the region, this coast offers plenty of archaeological sites, enchanting natural beauty, and gorgeous food and wine. En Route from Matera Save for the first golden rays of sunshine over the “Sassi [2],” most of the ravine is still covered in darkness as we wave goodbye to the marvels of Matera [3]. The route to the other side of the ravine is long and abounds in caves and Rupestrian churches carved out of the rock side. The churches are from different epochs, the majority of which date back to the Late Medieval Period, and the most interesting house Byzantine frescoes and sculptures. The churches stand as a testament to the significant, centuries-old presence of Byzantine and Benedictine monks who devoted their lives to prayer and contemplation in this evocative, rock-and- Page 1 of 4 The Enchantment of Calabria Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) shrub strewn wilderness overlooking the ravine. Each merits an extensive visit to fully appreciate its rough beauty, but we can only make so many stops en route to Calabria. Our first is to Cristo la Selva [4], a church with a Romanic façade and square floor plan. Inside this enchanting space you’ll find frescoes of Saints John and Joseph, and a magnificent, wrought iron candelabrum. Next up is a group of grottoes occupying four different tiers linked by a network of white stone stairs and tunnels.

L’estrema difficoltà con la quale si riuscì ad identificare l'area su cui sorgeva il santuario dedicato ad Apollo Aleo a Cirò Marina è causata dalla mancanza di fonti specifiche riferibili al sito, né più chiare appaiono a tale riguardo alle notizie della tradizione letteraria concernenti l'ecista Filottete, eroe fondatore delle città di Macalla, Chone e Krimisa , situate tra i fiumi Nicà e Neto, e fondatore del tempio che conteneva l'arco e le frecce di Eracle e accanto al quale fece erigere il suo heroon.

  • Bold and Affordable Italy's Lesser-Known Winemaking Regions Offer Wines Bold in Flavor, Well-Made and Affordable
    (http://www.chicagotribune.com) UNCORKED Bold and affordable Italy's lesser-known winemaking regions offer wines bold in flavor, well-made and affordable May 02, 2012 | By Bill St. John, Special to Tribune Newspapers Whenever folks ask me where they (http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/… might find the better values in wine Though southern Italian05/69694956.jpg) names and wines are unfamiliar to us, th… coming from Italy, I pull a sort of "Horacio" Greeley on them and say, "Go south, go south." Though Southern Italian place names and wine grape varieties are unfamiliar to us (which goes a long way toward explaining why the wines are overlooked or unknown), they are Italy's best combination of skilled winemaking, big flavor and low price. For this column, I sampled about 40 southern Italian reds and whites. Along with some simple descriptions of their homelands and grapes, here are the most delicious and engaging that I found. Sicily and Sardinia If Sicily were a freestanding country (which on occasion it appears to believe it is), it would rank seventh in worldwide wine production. During the past 20 years or so, no area of Italy has developed its vineyard work or winemaking to as fine a pitch as Sicily. Its most prestigious wine comes from its western coastal region of Marsala. Though in significant decline as recently as the 1960s, Marsala is now one of the finest aged, fortified wines of its type. Its main grape, grillo, often turns out a terrific dry white table wine. Among reds, an indigenous Sicilian grape, nero d'Avola, haunts with its deep flavors of black cherry and its tangy acidity and spicy, mildly tannic finish.

  • The Afterlives of Greek Sculpture Rachel Kousser Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-04072-4 — The Afterlives of Greek Sculpture Rachel Kousser Frontmatter More Information THE AFTERLIVES OF GREEK SCULPTURE The Afterlives of Greek Sculpture is the i rst comprehensive, historical account of the afterlives of ancient Greek monumental sculptures. Whereas scholars have traditionally focused on the creation of these works, Rachel Kousser instead draws on archaeological and textual sources to analyze the later histories of these sculptures, reconstructing the processes of damage and reparation that characterized the lives of Greek images. Using an approach informed by anthropology and iconoclasm studies, Kousser describes how damage to sculptures took place within a broader cultural context. She also tracks the development of an anti-iconoclastic discourse in Hellenic society from the Persian wars to the death of Kleopatra. Her study of ers a fresh perspective on the role of the image in ancient Greece. It also sheds new light on the creation of Hellenic cultural identity and the formation of col- lective memory in the Classical and Hellenistic eras. Rachel Kousser is a full professor of art history at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She was educated at Yale University and at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, where she received her PhD in Greek and Roman art history. She has received fellowships from the Getty Research Institute, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center for the Advanced Study of the Visual Arts, and the Mellon Foundation. Her i rst book, Hellenistic and Roman Ideal Sculpture: The Allure of the Classical , was published by Cambridge University Press in 2008.
