Dissertation Advisor: Author: Professor George G. Grabowicz Giovanna Siedina The Reception of Horace in the Courses of Poetics at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy: 17th-First Half of the 18th Century Abstract For the first time, the reception of the poetic legacy of the Latin poet Horace (65 B.C.-8 B.C.) in the poetics courses taught at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy (17th-first half of the 18th century) has become the subject of a wide-ranging research project presented in this dissertation. Quotations from Horace and references to his oeuvre have been divided according to the function they perform in the poetics manuals, the aim of which was to teach pupils how to compose Latin poetry. Three main aspects have been identified: the first consists of theoretical recommendations useful to the would-be poets, which are taken mainly from Horace’s Ars poetica.

Die Frühgeschichte Roms aus der Sicht eines Prähistorikers Werner E. Stöckli Zusammenfassung – Ziel des Aufsatzes ist es, mithilfe von Grabfunden und Inschriften zusammen mit der historischen Überlieferung – aber ohne die Geschichten von handelnden Personen – ein Gerüst der römischen Frühgeschichte vom 10. Jh. bis um 300 v. Chr. zu erarbeiten. Dabei spielen die Verbreitungskarten eine zentrale Rolle (Abb. 1-3; 5-7). Die Verbreitung der lateinischen und der etruskischen Inschriften deuten darauf hin, dass Rom von Latinern gegründet wurde (Abb. 1). Dass der Tiber seit dem 10. Jh. die Grenze zwischen den Etruskern und Latinern war, zeigen die Verbreitung der Gräber (Abb. 2; 5), die grundverschieden ausgestattet waren (Abb. 4), die Verbreitung der Inschriften des 7.-5. Jh. v. Chr. (Abb. 2; 3) und die Überlieferung. Auch bei der Regioneneinteilung Italiens durch Augustus blieb der Tiber die Grenze zwischen Etrurien und Latium und damit Rom Grenzstadt. Strukturell wird die historische Überlieferung im 4. und 5. Kapitel abgehandelt: Rom als eine der latinischen Gemeinden (Populi Latini) und der „Populus“ als politisch handelnde Gemein- schaft (Staat) bis in augusteische Zeit, als Augustus das römische Reich als „Imperium Populi Romani“ bezeichnet.

  • Servius on Divine Identity and Difference1 L.K.M
    Divine Powers I: Servius on Divine Identity and Difference Servius on Divine Identity and Difference1 L.K.M. Maisel When it comes to the Greco-Roman gods, there is a certain interpretive problem that is so awkward, scholars either avoid it completely or generalize with so much dogmatism that one gets the impression they simply want to will it out of existence. The problem, to put a name on it, is that of “identification” (though we will see that this word is already misleading). Ancient pagan writers continually tell us that this god and that god are the same, or that what is thought to be one god are in reality several, and so on, but they do it so casually and so inconsistently that one despairs of an explanation. What is worse is how unbothered the ancients were at this – to use a phrase of Aristotle’s, they “considered only what was convincing to themselves, and gave no consideration to us.” (Metaphysics 1000a, tr. Tredennick) Since the issue was, from our perspective, so undertheorized, this means that any ancient author who does deign to theorize on it has to be taken with a grain of salt. On the other hand, there are also authors like Maurus Servius Honoratus. Servius was a grammarian, not a philosopher, who was not looking to build his own philosophical system but only to make passages in Vergil’s poetry comprehensible. So he is in something of a middle position between just telling us something that we don’t understand (“God A is god B, god B is god C, but god A isn’t god C”) and giving us an elaborate but entirely idiosyncratic explanation.

Fuhrmann, Major Professor Ken Johnson, Committee Member Walt Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D.

Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 119 pp., 2 tables, 18 illustrations, bibliography, 150 titles. The purpose of the Roman Argei ceremony, during which the Vestal Virgins harvested made and paraded rush puppets only to throw them into the Tiber, is widely debated. Modern historians supply three main reasons for the purpose of the Argei: an agrarian act, a scapegoat, and finally as an offering averting deceased spirits or Lares. I suggest that the ceremony also related to war and the spectacle of displaying war casualties. I compare the ancient Near East and Rome and connect the element of war and husbandry and claim that the Argei paralleled the sacred marriage. In addition to an agricultural and purification rite, these rituals may have served as sympathetic magic for pre- and inter-war periods. As of yet, no author has proposed the Argei as a ceremony related to war. By looking at the Argei holistically I open the door for a new direction of inquiry on the Argei ceremony, fertility cults in the Near East and in Rome, and on the execution of war criminals.

  • The Myth of Re-Creation in Ovid's Metamorphoses
    The Myth of Re-creation in Ovid's Metamorphoses Ahmed Fahmy Abdel Gawad Suez Canal University The subject of evolution, creation and re-creation in different civilizations is an important theme. In this research the creation in Greek and Roman thought, in terms of the beginning of God's creation without an origin, where the world was complete darkness, Chaos; and then his re-creation as he began after its utter destruction will be discussed. If this creation does not acquire some beliefs and qualities which are necessary for that life, roughness and cruelty will sustain, and the creation and the system of the world will be corrupted. These matters will be revealed by our research, beginning from the universe and the first creation, Prometheus, theft of the fire, and re-creation again through Deucalion and Pyrrha.1 If we look at the creation of the universe in Ovid and its relation to his interpretation of human creation and the early history of mankind, we will discover that the poet plays the role of the philosopher in an ironic way , the purpose of which is to present philosophy as the least degree of myth in the understanding of man and the world.2 In essence, the contrast between imagination and Ovid's formation of rationality in cosmogony does not help us absorb Ovid's own desire to support physics as a particular philosophical school or to present a theory of his own. In the first book of Metamorphoses, he proposes the mythological dimensions of the creation's myth and re-creation through poetry.3 He reduced the idea that the concept 1 Paschalis, M.

  • Ceremonial and Religious Functions of Roman Epideictic Genres
    CEREMONIAL AND RELIGIOUS FUNCTIONS OF ROMAN EPIDEICTIC GENRES by MACEIO ILON LAUER (Under the Direction of Thomas Lessl) ABSTRACT This dissertation describes and analyzes the cultural, historical, and religious context surrounding three Roman epideictic texts in an effort to make broader theoretical arguments about Roman rhetoric. Each of the three case studies concentrate upon a distinctly Roman form of discourse and this dissertation argues that the ceremonial and ritual traditions attendant to these genres reflect the unique cultural salience of these texts and reveal the ways in which Roman epideictic developed independently of the Greek tradition. An initial overview of classical rhetorical theory reveals that scholarly treatments of epideictic rhetoric tend to emphasize the role played by Greek epideictic texts and typically dismiss or ignore the Roman epideictic tradition. More importantly, when studies of Roman epideictic forms are undertaken, they most often assume that the Roman forms derived the bulk of their topical, structural, and stylistic elements from earlier Greek antecedents. In fact, a full appreciation for the Roman texts requires a consideration of their own political and cultural context. The first case study investigates an early Contio of Cicero and argues that the Contio’s religious principles enabled the primarily deliberative speech form to assume an epideictic form. The second case study analyzes Augustus’ monumental Res Gestae and argues that this text marked a shift in the discursive conduct of Rome following the institution of the Principate. This shift was accompanied by a stronger emphasis on the spaces and rituals that amplified the message of the rhetor. The final study considers a Post-Augustan epideictic speech, Pliny’s Actio Gratiarum, and argues that this text reveals both the attendant ceremonial conduct of discourse during the second Century (C.E.), revealing the new relationship between rhetoric and the sociopolitical planning as well as the general themes of guiding the design of public space.
