  • Myth and Reality in the Battle Between the Pygmies and the Cranes in the Greek and Roman Worlds
    ARTÍCULOS Gerión. Revista de historia Antigua ISSN: 0213-0181 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/GERI.56960 Myth and Reality in the Battle between the Pygmies and the Cranes in the Greek and Roman Worlds Asher Ovadiah1; Sonia Mucznik2 Recibido: 19 de septiembre de 2016 / Aceptado: 23 de marzo de 2017 Abstract. Ancient writers, such as Homer, Aesop, Hecataeus of Miletus, Herodotus, Aristotle, Philostratus, Pliny the Elder, Juvenal and others have often referred to the enmity and struggle between the Pygmies and the Cranes. It seems that this folk-tale was conveyed to the Greeks through Egyptian sources. Greek and Roman visual works of art depict the Pygmies fighting against the vigorous and violent attack of the birds, which in some cases was vicious. This article sets out to examine the reasons for the literary and artistic portrayals of the Battle between the Pygmies and the Cranes (Geranomachy) in the context of the migration of the cranes in the autumn from the Caucasus (Scythian plains) to Central (Equatorial) Africa. In addition, an attempt will be made to clarify whether the literary sources and visual works of art reflect myth and/or reality. Keywords: Egypt; Ethiopia; Geranomachy; Migration; Nile; Scythia; Trojans. [en] Mito y realidad en la batalla entre los pigmeos y las grullas en el mundo griego y romano Resumen. Escritores antiguos, tales como Homero, Esopo, Hecateo de Mileto, Herodoto, Aristóteles, Filóstrato, Plinio el Viejo, Juvenal y otros se refirieron frecuentemente a la enemistad y guerra entre los pigmeos y las grullas. Es posible que este cuento popular fuese transmitido a los griegos a través de fuentes egipcias.

But Kephalos was too much in love with his wife Prokris, daughter of Erechtheus, to heed her attentions. Angrily she let him go, but not without making insinuations about his wife's fidelity. Plagued by doubt, Kephalos decided to test Prokris, and giving out that he was leaving (either abroad or on a hunt), returned in disguise and succeeded in seducing her. In shame Prokris fled to the woods, there to hunt with Artemis. Eventually the two were reconciled, and Prokris brought gifts from Artemis (or in a variant from King Minos of Crete): a magical javelin that always hit its mark, and a hound that never failed to catch its prey. All would have been well had not Prokris then conceived doubts about her husband. From a servant she heard that he was in the habit of going to a mountain peak and calling for "Nephele", whose name of course means "Cloud," but whom Prokris takes to be a rival. She concealed herself on this peak to spy on him, and when he once again called on Nephele came forward to confront him.

  • European Plutarch Network Congress
    “PLUTARCH AND THE ANCIENT RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE: PAGANISM, CHRISTIANITY, GNOSIS, AND MYSTERY CULTS” HECATE IN PLUTARCH: THE CONCEPTION OF A GODDESS THROUGH THE EPITHETS European Plutarch Network Congress Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies of Groningen 27-29th September 2017 This paper aims to study the conception of Hecate in Plutarch’s time and works by gathering and commenting the presence of the goddess within the passages of the Chaeronean, considering the epithets attributed to her by the author, the divinities related and associated to her and the contexts in which she appears. Hecate is identified with Selene and compared with Anubis in religious and astral contexts; the goddess is assimilated to Ártemis, Genita Mana and Ilithyia on earth, where public and private cults and rituals took place in her honour, and also Hecate is related with Athena and Persephone in what concerns to magic and Mystery religion. Such relations and associations reveal the goddess’ complex personality which came from the threefold power, in the earth, the sea and the sky, which Hesiod attributed to her (cf. Th., 413-414). Plutarch’s conception of astral Hecate implies a change of perspective if compared to Hesiod’s account in the Theogony1and it contributes to develop the Chaldean image of the goddess following Neoplatonic conceptions. Although Plutarch is one the first literary sources for the association of Hecate and the moon (from a philosophic point of view), the Second Idyll of Theocritus is probably the oldest text (III B.C.) for such association in a magic context: Simaetha invokes Hecate α as supportive deity2 under the influence of the moon-Selene (cf.

  • THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus”
    “THE ENDURING GODDESS: Artemis and Mary, Mother of Jesus” Carla Ionescu A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2016 © Carla Ionescu, 2016 ii Abstract: Tradition states that the most popular Olympian deities are Apollo, Athena, Zeus and Dionysius. These divinities played key roles in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world. This work suggests that this deeply entrenched scholarly tradition is fissured with misunderstandings of Greek and Ephesian popular culture, and provides evidence that clearly suggests Artemis is the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean, with roots embedded in the community and culture of this area that can be traced further back in time than even the arrival of the Greeks. In fact, Artemis’ reign is so fundamental to the cultural identity of her worshippers that even when facing the onslaught of early Christianity, she could not be deposed. Instead, she survived the conquering of this new religion under the guise of Mary, Mother of Jesus. Using methods of narrative analysis, as well as review of archeological findings, this work demonstrates that the customs devoted to the worship of Artemis were fundamental to the civic identity of her followers, particularly in the city of Ephesus in which Artemis reigned not only as Queen of Heaven, but also as Mother, Healer and Saviour. Reverence for her was as so deeply entrenched in the community of this city, that after her temple was destroyed, and Christian churches were built on top of her sacred places, her citizens brought forward the only female character in the new ruling religion of Christianity, the Virgin Mary, and re-named her Theotokos, Mother of God, within its city walls.

  • Plouto (Mother of Tantalus)
    Plouto (mother of Tantalus) The myth of Tantalus talks about Tantalus punishment by the Gods for his mistakes, like Tantalus dinner to gods when Tantalus killed his son Pelops and offered him to the gods. Pluto was the mother of Tantalus. Pluto was an Oceanid, the daughter of Himas. Dione was the wife of Tantalus. Tantalus and Dione had 3 children: Niobe, Broteas and Pelops. In Greek mythology, Plouto or Pluto (Ancient Greek: Πλουτώ "Wealth") was the mother of Tantalus, usually by Zeus, though the scholion to Euripides Orestes 5, names Tmolos as the father. According to Hyginus, Plouto's father was Himas, while other sources give her parents as Cronus and Rhea. She may be the same with Plouto the Oceanid and thus a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. Plutus or Ploutos, son of Demeter and Iasion and the personification of wealth. Pluto, the Roman god of the Underworld.

  • Time and Space in the Myth of Byblis and Caunus Nereida Villagra The
    Time and Space in the Myth of Byblis and Caunus1 Nereida Villagra The plot of the myth of Byblis can be summarized as follows: Byblis and Caunus are sister and brother and one of them falls in love with the other - in some versions it is Caunus, whereas in others it is Byblis. Either way, the result is the departure of Caunus, who ends up founding a city, and Byblis’ death originating a water source that will bear her name. The first treatment of the myth appears, in a fragmentary form, in Hellenistic poetry, but it must have been known at least since the fourth century BCE, when Aristotle uses the expression Καύνιος ἔρως to refer to illicit loves.2 The tale must have become quite popular from Hellenistic times onwards, for we can find it in the poetic works of Apollonius Rhodius, Nicaenetus, Nicander, Ovid and Nonnus of Pannopolis,3 and it is also narrated by three Imperial mythographers, Parthenius, Conon and Antoninus Liberalis.4 The myth is also mentioned by Stephanus Byzantinus, Diogenianus and the scholia to Theocritus.5 In her book on Hellenistic literature, Kathryn Gutzwiller points out that tales about passion between sister and brother were a usual topic in Hellenistic literature, a 1 This paper has been written with the support of the FCT Postdoctoral scholarship SFRH/BPD/90803/2012, at the Centro de Estudos Clássicos of the Universidade de Lisboa. 2 Arist.

Thus, there is not yet an English detailed commentary on his prose work, the Erotika Pathemata. However, many reasons make this prose work interesting. Firstly, the work survives in a single manuscript, making thus a critical edition requiring a special attention. Secondly, the thirty-six stories of the Erotika Pathemata have been ‘de-hydrated’, since the collection was intended to be used as a model for poetry (primarily by Parthenios himself).

  • Leto - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Leto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leto Leto From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Greek mythology, Leto (/ˈliːtoʊ/; Greek: Λητώ Lētṓ; Λατώ , Lātṓ in Dorian Greek, etymology and that meaning disputed) is a daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe and the sister of Asteria.[1] The Leto island of Kos is claimed as her birthplace. [2] In the Olympian scheme, Zeus is the father of her twins, [3] Apollo and Artemis, the Letoides , which Leto conceived after her hidden beauty accidentally caught the eyes of Zeus. Classical Greek myths record little about Leto other than her pregnancy and her search for a place where she could give birth to Apollo and Artemis, since Hera in her jealousy had caused all lands to shun her. Finally, she finds an island that isn't attached to the ocean floor so it isn't considered land and she can give birth. [4] This is her one active mythic role: once Apollo and Artemis are grown, Leto withdraws, to remain a dim [5] and benevolent matronly figure upon Olympus, her part already played. In Roman mythology, Leto's equivalent is Latona , a Latinization of her name, [6] influenced by Etruscan Letun . The Rape of Leto by Tityos c. 515 BC. From Vulci. Leto is third from left. In Crete, at the city of Dreros, Spyridon Marinatos uncovered an eighth-century post-Minoan hearth house temple in which there were found three unique figures of Apollo, Artemis and Leto made of Abode Island of Delos brass sheeting hammered over a shaped core ( sphyrelata ).

  • Resolving Frazer and Segal's Interpretations of the Adonis Myth
    THE ADONIS COMPLEX: RESOLVING FRAZER AND SEGAL’S INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ADONIS MYTH By Carman Romano, Haverford College Persephone: The Harvard Undergraduate Classics Journal Vol. 1, No. 1, Winter 2016 p. 46-59. http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/persephone/adonis-complex- resolving-frazers-and-segals-interpretations-adonis-myth-0 The Adonis Complex: Resolving Frazer's and Segal's Interpretations of the Adonis Myth Carman Romano Haverford College Overview In their analyses of the Adonis myth, Sir James George Frazer and Robert A. Segal cite numerous ancient variants of Adonis’ myth and evidence of the Adonia, a ritual that commemorated Adonis’ death, as evidence for their respective readings. Each emphasizes the evidence which best agrees with his own interpretive method; evidence which is itself informed by presuppositions about myth and ritual. Frazer assumes that myth should be rationalized and universalized, and believes the ritual dependent on it. He equates Adonis to Tammuz, Attis, and Osiris, other deities whose death and rebirth, he argues, represent the decay and renewal of vegetable life. Because of these presuppostions, Frazer downplays those variants of Adonis’ myth in which the deity dies a “final” death and emphasizes ritual evidence, arguing that the Adonia reenacts Adonis’ death annually.1 Segal, by contrast, presupposes the relevance of myth to psychology and ritual's ability not to reenact, but to express those same ideas present in myth. He thus employs a Jungian interpretive method, believing Adonis a Greek manifestation of the puer archetype whose myth must end in “premature death” and whose negative exemplar “dramatizes the prerequisites for membership in the polis.”2 Segal’s interpretive method requires that Adonis die a “final” death, and he prefers those variants of the myth which suppose Adonis’ death and insists that the Adonia, rather than reenact myth, expresses its ideas of sterility and immaturity.
