  • The Shield As Pedagogical Tool in Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes
    АНТИЧНОЕ ВОСПИТАНИЕ ВОИНА ЧЕРЕЗ ПРИЗМУ АРХЕОЛОГИИ, ФИЛОЛОГИИ И ИСТОРИИ ПЕДАГОГИКИ THE SHIELD AS PEDAGOGICAL TOOL IN AESCHYLUS’ SEVEN AGAINST THEBES* Victoria K. PICHUGINA The article analyzes the descriptions of warriors in Aeschylus’s tragedy Seven against Thebes that are given in the “shield scene” and determines the pedagogical dimension of this tragedy. Aeschylus pays special attention to the decoration of the shields of the com- manders who attacked Thebes, relying on two different ways of dec- orating the shields that Homer describes in The Iliad. According to George Henry Chase’s terminology, in Homer, Achilles’ shield can be called “a decorative” shield, and Agamemnon’s shield is referred to as “a terrible” shield. Aeschylus turns the description of the shield decoration of the commanders attacking Thebes into a core element of the plot in Seven against Thebes, maximizing the connection be- tween the image on the shield and the shield-bearer. He created an elaborate system of “terrible” and “decorative” shields (Aesch. Sept. 375-676), as well as of the shields that cannot be categorized as “ter- rible” and “decorative” (Aesch. Sept. 19; 43; 91; 100; 160). The analysis of this system made it possible to put forward and prove three hypothetical assumptions: 1) In Aeschylus, Eteocles demands from the Thebans to win or die, focusing on the fact that the city cre- ated a special educational space for them and raised them as shield- bearers. His patriotic speeches and, later, his judgments expressed in the “shield scene” demonstrate a desire to justify and then test the educational concept “ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς” (“either with it, or upon it”) (Plut.

  • Jason and the Golden Fleece by Max I
    Jason and the Golden Fleece By Max I. A long time ago, a child named Jason was born in the small kingdom of Iolcus, which was in Northern Greece. He was born before actual Greek history, in a time where Gods and heroes still existed. He was the son of King Aeson, who ruled Iolcus fairly and justly. His mother was descended from Poseidon, the god of the sea. Therefore, Jason had royal blood and divine blood as well. Jason grew up to be a good looking and good-natured boy. He was polite to everybody and everybody liked him. And everybody knew that Jason would inherit the throne of Iolcus. He was a good friend of Max, who was a foreigner from Colchis. In fact, he was one of the most valuable people on the journey because he was from where the Golden Fleece was hidden. 10 years before Jason was born, a king and queen called Athamas and Nephele ruled in Northern Greece. However, king Athamas grew tired of his kind, virtuous queen, and sent her away so he could marry a cruel woman named Ino. However, Ino was so cruel she resolved to murder the king’s children, as she was mad after a argument with Athamas. Queen Nephele rushed back to save her children and enlisted the help of the God Hermes. Hermes created a massive golden ram to carry the two children to safety. Their names were Phrixus and Helle. The Ram carried them all the way to Colchis, where they could seek shelter. However, as they were flying over a great river that separates Europe from Asia, Helle fell off the Ram to her death.

  • The Untold Death of Laertes. Revaluating Odysseus's Meeting
    The untold death of Laertes. Revaluating Odysseus’s meeting with his father Abstract This article discusses the narrative function and symbolism of the Laertes scene in the twenty- fourth book of the Odyssey. By pointing out the scene’s connections to other passages (the story of Penelope’s web, the first and second nekuia , the farewellto the Phaeaceans, the Argus scene, but also the twenty-fourth book of the Iliad) and by tackling some of the textualproblems that it poses (the apparent cruelty of Odysseus’s lies to his father, the double layers of meaning in his fictions, the significance of the sèma of the trees), this article aims to point out how the Laertes scene is tightly woven into the larger thematic and symbolicaltissue of the Odyssey. Odysseus’s reunion with his father is conclusive to the treatment of some important themes such as death and burial, reciprocalsense of love and duty and the succession of generations. It willbe argued that the untold death of Laertes becomes paradigmatic for the fate Odysseus himself chooses, and for the way in which the epic as a whole deals with the problem of mortality. Keywords Odyssey, Laertes, symbolism, mortality, burial, reciprocity Laertes, the old father of Odysseus, is a somewhat forgotten character. He is mostly considered to be of minor importance to the plot of the Odyssey, and his reunion with his son in the twenty-fourth book is often seen as a more or less dispensable addendum to the realclimax, the recognition scene with Penelope. In this article, I aim to readjust this view by exploring the context and significance of this final meeting.

While a knowledge of these myths is undoubtedly necessary to a clear understanding of much in literature and the arts, yet it is not for this reason alone that they have been selected; the myths that have appealed to the poets, the painters, and the sculptors for so many ages are the very ones that have the greatest depth of meaning, and that are the most beautiful and the best worth telling.

  • Ten Thousand Eyes: the Story of Ἄργος Μυριωπός Alexander Nikolaev
    Ten Thousand Eyes: The Story of Ἄργος Μυριωπός Alexander Nikolaev HE MYTH OF ARGUS was well known in antiquity, to judge from sixth- and fifth-century literature and art. Its T basic constituents are as follows: when Io was turned into a heifer by Zeus, the titan Argus was appointed by Hera as her guard, and while on this duty he was killed by Hermes.1 The most conspicuous and unusual feature of Argus is the number of his eyes, which in different sources ranges between three and several thousand. The purpose of this paper is to make a new suggestion regarding the origin of the motif of the myriad-eyed cowherd. 1. Let us remind ourselves of the relevant sources. In Aesch. Supp. the story of Io is treated in the stichomythia between the chorus of Danaids and Pelasgus, the king of Argos; Io’s guard is mentioned at 303–305, described as πανόπτης οἰοβουκόλος, “all-seeing cowherd of one [heifer].”2 A somewhat more de- tailed description is in [Aesch.] PV: in her monody Io calls Argus a “myriad-eyed cowherd” (568, µυριωπὸν … βούταν) and later an “earth-born herdsman, staring with his many eyes” (677–679, βουκόλος δὲ γηγενής … πυκνοῖς ὄσσοις δεδορκώς). Bacchylides, too, was familiar with the myth: in his poem about Io (19.19–25) he describes Argus as “looking every way with tireless eyes” (ὄµµασι βλέποντα πάντοθεν ἀκαµάτοις) 1 For variants of the myth of Io see L. G. Mitchell, “Euboean Io,” CQ 51 (2001) 339–352; a characteristically useful overview is provided by T.

  • Odyssey Translated Byrobertfitzgerald Homer from the Xenia, Wasveryimportantingreek NOTES from the ANCHOR TEXT|EPICPOEM Odyssey, Part2 MULTIMEDIA SCAN FOR
    ANCHOR TEXT | EPIC POEM from the Odyssey Homer translated by Robert Fitzgerald Part 2 The Return of Odysseus BACKGROUND The Greek concept of hospitality, xenia, was very important in Greek SCAN FOR culture and plays a role in Odysseus’ tale. Some scholars believe that MULTIMEDIA this value is based on Greek religious belief. Since the Greek gods could take multiple earthly forms, there was always the possibility that the stranger at the door was a god in disguise. Thus, Greeks opened their homes to strangers. In Part 2, as Odysseus returns home, it is clear that this cultural practice has created some problems. “Twenty years gone, and I am back again . .” NOTES Odysseus has finished telling his story to the Phaeacians. The next day, young Phaeacian noblemen conduct him home by ship. He arrives in Ithaca after an absence of twenty years. The goddess Athena appears and informs him of the situation © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All rights reserved. or its affiliates. Inc., Education, © Pearson at home. Numerous suitors, believing Odysseus to be dead, have been continually seeking the hand of his wife, Penelope, in marriage, while overrunning Odysseus’ palace and enjoying themselves at Penelope’s expense. Moreover, they are plotting to from the Odyssey, Part 2 595 murder Odysseus’ son, Telemachus, before he can inherit his father’s NOTES lands. Telemachus, who, like Penelope, still hopes for his father’s return, has journeyed to Pylos and Sparta to learn what he can about 1. Eumaeus (yoo MEE uhs) his father’s fate.

  • Excerpts from Ovid, Metamorphoses
    Ovid, Metamorphoses 1 EXCERPTS FROM OVID, METAMORPHOSES TRANSLATED BY IAN JOHNSON AVAILABLE ON LINE (FULL VERSION OF BOOKS 1-3) AT HTTP://RECORDS.VIU.CA/~JOHNSTOI/OVID/OVID1.HTM (1) APOLLO AND DAPHNE The story begins just after the young god Apollo has established himself as an adult, powerful god by killing the dragon/serpent Python and claiming its former grounds as the site for his most significant sanctuary, Delphi. Apollo’s first love was Daphne, the daughter of Peneus.* It was not blind chance which made him love her, but Cupid’s savage rage. The Delian god, proud of his recent conquest of the snake, saw Cupid flexing his bow, pulling back the string, and said to him:* “Impudent boy, why are you playing with a man’s weapon? Carrying that suits shoulders like my own, since I can shoot wild beasts and never miss and wound my enemy. I am the one who with my countless arrows has just killed that swollen Pytho, whose venomous gut covered so many acres. Stay content kindling any kind of love you fancy with that torch of yours, but do not pre-empt those praises due to me.” The son of Venus then replied to him:* “O Phoebus, your bow may strike all things, but mine can strike at you. Just as all animals are less than gods, so, to the very same extent, your fame is less than mine.” Cupid spoke. Keen to act, he struck the air with beating wings and stood on the shady peak of Mount Parnassus. He pulled out two arrows from his quiver, Ovid, Metamorphoses 2 each with a different force.

  • Lecture 20 Good Morning and Welcome to LLT121, Classical Mythology
    Lecture 20 Good morning and welcome to LLT121, Classical Mythology. As promised, today we will be discussing the careers of two deities, Athena and Hermes, who are of primary interest, not so much because of what they’re in charge of—although they are in charge of some important things. Neither one of them has a tremendous amount of mythology, so to speak. These two deities figure more in other god’s and goddess’s myths, other hero’s myths, than their own. There’s maybe about two or three good stories, tops, about each one. However, Athena, for example—and we can begin with Athena—since she is the patron goddess of the award winning city of Athens, she shows up in just about every story that is written by an Athenian. Let’s take some examples here. The Athena story starts out when Zeus, supposedly, is married to Metis. Metis is the ancient Greek word for “thought.” Metis is, obviously, an only vaguely anthropomorphic personification goddess of thought. It makes sense, doesn’t it, that Zeus gets married to thought? Thought is not going to get married to Hades or Poseidon or any of these other lunatics. But Zeus finds out, by means of an oracle, a handy oracle, that Metis is going to give birth to two children. One is the goddess Athena and two is a son who will grow up to be greater than his father. As you’ll recall from our discussion of cosmogony, the supreme gods are always having to deal with the notion of raising a son who’s going to be stronger than you.
