  • 10. Rood, Thucydides and His Predecessors 230-267
    Histos () - THUCYDIDES AND HIS PREDECESSORS Thucydides’ response to his literary predecessors has been explored with some frequency in recent years. Several articles have appeared even since Simon Hornblower recently wrote that ‘two areas needing more work are Thucydides’ detailed intertextual relation to Homer and to Herodotus’. In these discussions, Thucydides tends to be seen as inheriting a wide range of specific narrative techniques from Homer, and as alluding to particular pas- sages in epic through the use of epic terms and through the broader struc- turing of his story. It has also been stressed that Thucydides’ relationship with Homer should be studied in the light of the pervasive Homeric charge found in the work of Herodotus, the greatest historian before Thucydides. Nor is Thucydides’ debt to Herodotus merely a matter of his taking over Herodotus’ Homeric features: it is seen, for instance, in his modelling of his Sicilian narrative after Herodotus’ account of the Persian Wars, and in his assuming knowledge of events described by Herodotus. Nonetheless, no apology is needed for making another contribution to this topic: by drawing together and examining some of the recent explora- tions of Thucydidean intertextuality, I hope to establish more firmly how Thucydides alluded to his predecessors; and by looking beyond the worlds of epic and Herodotus that have dominated recent discussions, I hope to present a more rounded image of the literary milieu of the early Greek his- torians.

  • Cult and Crisis: a GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 383–395 Original Study Constanze Graml*, Manuel Hunziker, Katharina Vukadin Cult and Crisis: A GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0024 Received February 12, 2019; accepted June 18, 2019 Abstract: From a political point of view, 3rd century BCE Athens represents a shattered unity. Parts of the Athenian countryside and even the city itself were occupied by foreign troops. This loss of control affected the city’s political, economic, social, cultural, and religious life. Since Cleisthenic times, relations between political units and religious communities had become institutionalised through specific cults. Other cult places of relevance to the larger community and therefore with a catchment area that exceeded a deme, e.g. Eleusis, were also affected, as they lay within the occupied territories. This partial inaccessibility of the countryside risked the disruption of religious duties. The project “Cult and Crisis: The Sacred Landscape of Attica and its Correlation to Political Topography” aims to identify potentially affected cult places with no limitations regarding their possible catchment area by analysing their placement in relation to foreign military bases. Alterations in cult practice can plausibly be detected in changes ranging from cessation to the rerouting of ritual movement or the establishment of substitute cult places. As these “solutions” rarely feature in written sources, our GIS-based approach will focus on material remains from sanctuaries. Although an object’s use for ritual practice cannot be deduced with certainty, the distribution of finds certainly attests to human activity. This contribution presents a trial of this approach, taking the Sounion area as its case study.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 © 2007 Melissa Suzanne Eaby ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MELISSA SUZANNE EABY: Mortuary Variability in Early Iron Age Cretan Burials (Under the direction of Donald C. Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.

Çalışmamızda araştırılan Bodrum (Karada-Milta) ve Kuşadası (Setur) Marinaları, modern alt yapıları ve uygun ücretleri ile Akdeniz’de seyir halinde olan yerli ve yabancı yatlara birinci sınıf hizmet veren marinalardır. Kuşadası, Bodrum ve Pire yat limanları dünyanın çeşitli bölgelerinden gelen turistleri coğrafi şartlarının sağladığı avantajlardan dolayı etkilemektedirler. Bodrum ve Kuşadası bölgesi tüm dünyadaki diğer tarihi ve arkeolojik yöreler içinde en tanınmış ve bilinen eserlere ve yerlere sahiptir. Yatlarıyla gelen ziyaretçiler Bodrum Milta Marina ve Kuşadası Setur Marina’da gereksindikleri her tür hizmeti almaktadırlar. Bu yüzden tez konumuz olan marinalar Ege ve Akdeniz’de yelken açanlar tarafından tercih edilmektedir. Yat turizminin daha üst noktalara ulaşması için gerekli önlemler alındığında, Kuşadası Setur ve Bodrum Milta Marinalarının gelişen Akdeniz Yat turizmi dünyasında en önde kabul edilen İspanya, Fransa ve İtalya’daki marinalardan daha fazla ilerleyerek, her geçen yıl turizm alanında dünya pazarındaki payını artırarak bir çekim merkezi haline gelen Türkiye’nin en popüler marinaları olarak kabul edileceklerdir.

    Working paper, not for distribution without permission of the author. Tonio Hölscher: Myths, Images, and the Typology of Identities in Early Greek Art 1. Identity: Problems with a modern concept in present times and in the past ‘Identity’, in its double sense as an individual and a collective concept, has since the 1970es become a key term of discourse on historical as well as contemporary societies. The notion of ‘identity’ is not only used as a descriptive category of historical and sociological analysis but is also, and above all, asserted as a legitimate claim of individual and collective entities: Individual persons as well as social groups or national populations claim the right to live according to, and to fight for their identity. In the context of this conference, it is the aspect of collective identity I am going to focus on. Nobody will deny the importance of the concept of collective identity: Communities cannot exist without a conscious or unconscious definition of what they are. That is how they can identify themselves. Nor will anybody on principle contest the right of communities to cultivate and defend their identity: We concede this right to the Greeks in their fight against the Persians as well as to contemporary peoples that are suppressed by superpowers or threatened by foreign enemies. But on the other hand, it is also evident that such emphasis on identity is anything but innocent. For there can be no doubt that during the last generation the increasing assertion of collective and national identity has produced an enormous potential of conflicts throughout the world.

  • An Ancient Fort on Mount Oneion
    AN ANCIENT FORT ON MOUNT ONEION (PLATES 23-27) N additionto the mighty citadel of Acrocorinthand the Long Walls linking the city to its western port of Lechaion, ancient Corinth possessed another effective barrier to movement through the Isthmos in the long finger of Mount Oneion. Rising to a maximum height of 584 m. above sea-level, the rocky spine of this mountain extends for about seven kilometers on an east-west line which forms the southern boundary of the Corinthian Isthmos.' At its western end it is separated from Acro- corinth by a narrow but level pass which carries the Leukon river, the Peloponnesian railway, and the modern highway to Argos. At its eastern extremity Oneion drops steeply down to the sea and ends in a stubby promontory, the ancient Chersonesos, which marks the northern limit of the bay of Galataki and has at its base the Baths of Helen.2 The ancient port of Kenchreai on the Saronic Gulf lies a little more than a kilometer to the north. At the base of Chersonesos, below the steeply rising rocks of Mount Oneion, passed an important ancient road leading south from the Isthmos into the plain of Galataki, ancient Solygeia, and then to the hinterland of southeastern Corinthia, where the modern villages of Vlasseika, Katakali, and Sophiko are located. In wartime the road became a strategic artery; by following it around Mount Oneion and then turning westward past Solygeia, an invading army could easily make its way into the southern Corinthia, and thence to Argos, unhindered by either the defenses at the western end of Oneion or those of Acrocorinth and the Long Walls to Lechaion.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT of THESIS The bulk of this thesis consists of coimTientaxies on Pindar Pythian 11 and Nemean 2. As a prologue there is a general introduction to Pindar analysing some Pindaric problems, and an analysis of some features of the Pindaric scholia (the ancient commentaries on Pindar). The INTRODUCTION shows now Pindar tailored the mythical parts of his victory odes to suit the occasion, and how the odes do not nicely conform to a general pattern. The second part, TITLES and INSCRIPTIONES in the PINDARIC SCHOLIA and the OCCASION of PYTHIAN ELEVEN, shows that the dates and titles given by the scholia for Pindar’s odes are an unrel­ iable amalgam of bits of information and guesses (often infer­ ences from the odes themselves). The COMMENTARY on PYTHIAN ELEVEN tackles the problem posed by Pindar apparently spatchcocking an irrelevant mythical story about Agamemnon into the ode.

  • Arsinoe in the Peloponnese: the Ptolemaic Base on the Methana Peninsula
    Arsinoe in the Peloponnese: the Ptolemaic base on the Methana peninsula D. Gill In the late nineteenth century, an Egyptian portrait head was recovered from the sea off the island of Aegina. The piece, clearly a royal portrait with double crown and broken uraeus, was inscribed with hieroglyphs and was quickly rec- ognised as a portrait of Ptolemy VI Philometor. It is not clear if the portrait had been displayed on the island of Aegina or somewhere bordering the Sa- ronic Gulf, or if it had been dumped in modern times as excess ballast from a passing sailing ship. One possibility is that the statue was linked to one of the Ptolemaic bases in the Aegean, perhaps that located at the nearby peninsula of Methana. The Methana Peninsula The Methana peninsula adjoins the eastern side of the Argolid, pointing into the Saronic Gulf (Figure 1). To the east lies the island of Poros, and to the north-east the island of Aegina. Methana is linked to the mainland by a nar- row isthmus, a feature which was fortified from at least the fifth century BCE. The peninsula is largely volcanic, and the main dome rises to 760 m. Mineral springs are found around the peninsula, on the north side at the modern set- tlement of Pausanias, named in honour of the second century AD Roman travel writer who described the peninsula, and on the east side at Loutra, the modern spa-town of Methana, much frequented by present-day Athenians. The historic settlement of Methana lay on the west side of the peninsula at the site of Palaiokastro near the modern village of Megalochori.

  • The Audiences of Herodotus
    THE AUDIENCES OF HERODOTUS THE INFLUENCE OF PERFORMANCE ON THE HISTORIES by IAN CODY OLIVER B.A., University of Texas at Austin, 2010 M.A., University of Colorado Boulder, 2012 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics 2017 This thesis entitled: The Audiences of Herodotus: The Influence of Performance on the Histories written by Ian Cody Oliver has been approved for the Department of Classics Peter Hunt, Committee Chair Jackie Elliott, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Oliver, Ian Cody (Ph.D., Classics) The Audiences of Herodotus: The Influence of Performance on the Histories Thesis directed by Professor Peter Hunt Scholars have long recognized that Herodotus wrote his Histories when literature was often researched, composed, and circulated by oral rather than written means. Like his contemporaries, Herodotus gave oral demonstrations of his expertise (in Greek, epideixeis) in widely diverse settings across Greece. Most modern scholarship, however, treats Herodotus’ Histories as fundamentally unrelated to these performances, assuming instead that, in the Histories, Herodotus wrote for a single, broad, and Panhellenic readership. My dissertation argues that significant portions of the Histories in fact follow Herodotus’ earlier oral performances closely—sometimes so closely that the original audience and historical context can be identified. In my dissertation, I analyze three Herodotean battle narratives (Plataea, Salamis, and Thermopylae) where anomalies in composition appear to reflect these narratives’ origins as oral epideixeis with specific original performance dates.
