  • Latin Curse Texts: Mediterranean Tradition and Local Diversity
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library Acta Ant. Hung. 57, 2017, 57–82 DOI: 10.1556/068.2017.57.1.5 DANIELA URBANOVÁ LATIN CURSE TEXTS: MEDITERRANEAN TRADITION AND LOCAL DIVERSITY Summary: There are altogether about six hundred Latin curse texts, most of which are inscribed on lead tablets. The extant Latin defixiones are attested from the 2nd cent. BCE to the end of the 4th and begin- ning of the 5th century. However, the number of extant tablets is certainly not final, which is clear from the new findings in Mainz recently published by Blänsdorf (2012, 34 tablets),1 the evidence found in the fountain dedicated to Anna Perenna in Rome 2012, (26 tablets and other inscribed magical items),2 or the new findings in Pannonia (Barta 2009).3 The curse tablets were addressed exclusively to the supernatural powers, so their authors usually hid them very well to be banished from the eyes of mortals; not to speak of the randomness of the archaeological findings. Thus, it can be assumed that the preserved defixiones are only a fragment of the overall ancient production. Remarkable diversities in cursing practice can be found when comparing the preserved defixiones from particular provinces of the Roman Empire and their specific features, as this contribution wants to show. Key words: Curses with their language, formulas, and content representing a particular Mediterranean tradi- tion documented in Greek, Latin, Egyptian Coptic, as well as Oscan curse tablets, Latin curse tablets, curse tax- onomy, specific features of curse tablets from Italy, Africa, Britannia, northern provinces of the Roman Empire There are about 1600 defixiones known today from the entire ancient world dated from the 5th century BCE up to the 5th century CE, which makes a whole millennium.

    READER KM Latin 11 CHAPTER∏ 1 PERSEUS BY FRANCIS RITCHIE ∏SECTION 1 The Ark Haec narrantur a poetis de Perseo. Perseus filius erat Iovis, maximi deorum; avus eius Acrisius appellabatur. Acrisius volebat Perseum nepotem suum necare; nam propter oraculum puerum timebat. Comprehendit igitur Perseum adhuc infantem, et cum matre in arcā ligneā (5) inclusit. Tum arcam ipsam in mare coniecit. Danae, Persei mater, magnopere territa est; tempestas enim magna mare turbabat. Perseus autem in sinu matris dormiebat. 2 ∏SECTION 2 Jupiter Saves his Son Iuppiter tamen haec omnia vidit, et filium suum servare constituit. Tranquillum igitur fecit mare, et arcam ad insulam Seriphum perduxit. Huius insulae Polydectes tum rex erat. Postquam arca ad litus appulsa est, Danae in harena quietem capiebat. Post breve tempus a (5) piscatore quodam reperta est, et ad domum regis Polydectis adducta est. Ille matrem et puerum benigne excepit, et iis sedem tutam in finibus suis dedit. Danae hoc donum libenter accepit, et pro tanto beneficio regi gratias egit. 3 ∏SECTION 3 Perseus is Sent on his Travels Perseus igitur multos annos ibi habitabat, et cum matre suā vitam beatam agebat. At Polydectes Danaen magnopere amabat, atque eam in matrimonium ducere volebat. Hoc tamen consilium Perseo minime gratum erat. Polydectes igitur Perseum dimittere constituit. Tum iuvenem ad se (5) vocavit et haec dixit: "Turpe est hanc ignavam vitam agere; iam dudum tu adulescens es. Quo usque hīc manebis? Tempus est arma capere et virtutem praestare. Hinc abi, et caput Medusae mihi refer." 4 SECTION 4 enim earum anguibus omnino contecta erant. Manūs etiam ∏ ex aere factae erant.

The present study approaches the motif through its intertextual dialogues with magic in earlier and contemporary texts — Theocritus’ Idyll 2, Apollonius Rhodius’ Argonautica, Vergil’s Eclogue 8 and Horace’s Epodes — with the aim of investigating the origin and development of love-elegy’s self- construction as magic and of the association of this theme with poetic enchantment, deceit, and failure throughout the genre.

  • Names of Botanical Genera Inspired by Mythology
    Names of botanical genera inspired by mythology Iliana Ilieva * University of Forestry, Sofia, Bulgaria. GSC Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2021, 14(03), 008–018 Publication history: Received on 16 January 2021; revised on 15 February 2021; accepted on 17 February 2021 Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.30574/gscbps.2021.14.3.0050 Abstract The present article is a part of the project "Linguistic structure of binomial botanical denominations". It explores the denominations of botanical genera that originate from the names of different mythological characters – deities, heroes as well as some gods’ attributes. The examined names are picked based on “Conspectus of the Bulgarian vascular flora”, Sofia, 2012. The names of the plants are arranged in alphabetical order. Beside each Latin name is indicated its English common name and the family that the particular genus belongs to. The article examines the etymology of each name, adding a short account of the myth based on which the name itself is created. An index of ancient authors at the end of the article includes the writers whose works have been used to clarify the etymology of botanical genera names. Keywords: Botanical genera names; Etymology; Mythology 1. Introduction The present research is a part of the larger project "Linguistic structure of binomial botanical denominations", based on “Conspectus of the Bulgarian vascular flora”, Sofia, 2012 [1]. The article deals with the botanical genera appellations that originate from the names of different mythological figures – deities, heroes as well as some gods’ attributes. According to ICBN (International Code of Botanical Nomenclature), "The name of a genus is a noun in the nominative singular, or a word treated as such, and is written with an initial capital letter (see Art.

Publications that could not be considered here, for reasons of space, will be presented in EBGR 2012. They include two of the most important books of 2011: N. PAPAZARKADAS’ Sacred and Public Land in Ancient Athens, Oxford 2011 and H.S. VERSNEL’s Coping with the Gods: Wayward Readings in Greek Theology, Leiden 2011. 2 A series of new important corpora is included in this issue. Two new IG volumes present the inscriptions of Eastern Lokris (119) and the first part of the inscriptions of Kos (21); the latter corpus is of great significance for the study of Greek religion, as it contains a large number of cult regulations; among the new texts, we single out the ‘sacred law of the tribe of the Elpanoridai’ in Halasarna.

  • Defixiones from a Well Near the Southwest Corner of the Athenian Agora
    DEFIXIONES FROM A WELL NEAR THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 65-68) O VER THE YEARS, excavationsof the Athenian Agora have recoveredsome hundred defixiones or lead curse tablets, almost all of which were found, rolled up into scrolls, in what were once underground bodies of water (see Fig. 1 and Tables 1 and 2, pp. 208- 210). In the Roman well that we shall call Well V, which was dug about 100 meters outside the southwest corner of the ancient Agora proper, in the valley to the northwest of the Areiopagos, 17 such inscribed lead tablets were found, most of them badly corroded or en- crusted. The surfaces of only 14 have yielded readings; of these I present an editio princeps here. In the picture that they give of urgent personal concerns, transitory though they may now seem, the well's surviving curses illustrate a private side of life in Roman Athens sel- dom seen in the city's other remains; that these concerns express themselves in invocations in which the names of the Egyptian god Seth-Typhon are mixed with those of the god of the Old Testament is of a significance beyond the strictly religious. Before we examine the texts themselves, however, it will be convenient to consider certain preliminary questions that the tablets raise.1 11 should like to thank H. A. Thompson, Director Emeritus of the American Excavationsof the Athenian Agora, both for permission to publish these 14 texts and for improving my manuscript in several important ways, and also T. L. Shear, Jr., Director, for permission to publish IL 1737.

    Chthonians in Sicily Curbera, Jaime B Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1997; 38, 4; ProQuest pg. 397 Chthonians in Sicily Jaime B. Curbera To the memory of Giuseppe Nenci ICILY WAS FAMOUS for her chthonic deities. 1 According to tradition, Hades abducted Kore at Syracuse, Henna, or SAetna; Pindar calls Acragas <l>EpoE<j)6vac; EDOC; (Pyth. 12.2); and the whole island was said to be sacred to Demeter and Kore (Diod. 5.2.3; Cic. Verr. 2.4.106). Indeed, archaeological and numismatic evidence abundantly confirms the literary sources.2 This paper deals with some previously unnoticed epi­ thets of Sicily's chthonic gods and with the reflection of their cult on personal names on the island. I. The Kyria Earlier in this century, a grave in ancient Centuripae, some 30 km southwest of Mt Aetna, yielded an interesting lead curse tablet, first published by Domenico Comparetti after a drawing by Paolo Orsi, and again, in apparent ignorance of Comparetti's edition, by Francesco Ribezzo with a drawing from autopsy.3 Neither text was satisfactory. Using Orsi's and Ribezzo's drawings, J. J. E. Hondius, "adiuvantibus Cr[onert] et Wil­ h[elm]," produced in 1929 what is now the best text, SEG IV 61. I Abbreviations: DTAud=A.

His name is related to the Latin word merx ("merchandise"; compare merchant, commerce, etc.), mercari (to trade), and merces (wages).[2] In his earliest forms, he appears to have been related to the Etruscan deity Turms, but most of his characteristics and mythology were borrowed from the analogous Greek deity, Hermes. Latin writers rewrote Hermes' myths and substituted his name with that of Mercury. However, there are at least two myths that involve Mercury that are Roman in origin. In Virgil's Aeneid, Mercury reminds Aeneas of his mission to found the city of Rome. In Ovid's Fasti, Mercury is assigned to escort the nymph Larunda to the underworld.

Jordan 0NG THE INTERESTING lead curse tablets from Sicily pub­ lished in the last years are two opisthographic examples, .N inscribed in a mixture of Doric and Koine, from a grave of the third century B.C. at Lilybaeum (present-day Marsala); we owe their edition to Professor Antonietta Brugnone of the University of Palermo. 1 To judge from their letter-forms, as shown in her drawings, the two texts are probably contempo­ rary with one another and may well even be in the same hand, but this latter is difficult to say with any confidence, because the second text is written retrograde. 2 Not least among their interesting features are their personal names: the first curse is directed against a man (?) called Altleall~.a;V and the second, against a ZU)1tUp{wv 'tae; MUIl~UP, the two non-Greek names (no doubt Punic, as Brugnone suggests), being treated as inde- 1 B.
