  • Classical Mythology in the Victorian Popular Theatre Edith Hall
    Pre-print of Hall, E. in International Journal of the Classical Tradition, (1998). Classical Mythology in the Victorian Popular Theatre Edith Hall Introduction: Classics and Class Several important books published over the last few decades have illuminated the diversity of ways in which educated nineteenth-century Britons used ancient Greece and Rome in their art, architecture, philosophy, political theory, poetry, and fiction. The picture has been augmented by Christopher Stray’s study of the history of classical education in Britain, in which he systematically demonstrates that however diverse the elite’s responses to the Greeks and Romans during this period, knowledge of the classical languages served to create and maintain class divisions and effectively to exclude women and working-class men from access to the professions and the upper levels of the civil service. This opens up the question of the extent to which people with little or no education in the classical languages knew about the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. One of the most important aspects of the burlesques of Greek drama to which the argument turned towards the end of the previous chapter is their evidential value in terms of the access to classical culture available in the mid-nineteenth century to working- and lower- middle-class people, of both sexes, who had little or no formal training in Latin or Greek. For the burlesque theatre offered an exciting medium through which Londoners—and the large proportion of the audiences at London theatres who travelled in from the provinces—could appreciate classical material. Burlesque was a distinctive theatrical genre which provided entertaining semi-musical travesties of well-known texts and stories, from Greek tragedy and Ovid to Shakespeare and the Arabian Nights, between approximately the 1830s and the 1870s.

  • The Ancient Reception of Euripides' Bacchae from Athens to Byzantium
    Simon Perris and Fiachra Mac Góráin The ancient reception of Euripides’ Bacchae from Athens to Byzantium Abstract: This chapter offers a reception history of Euripides’ Bacchae from its original production until its intertextual transformation in the Byzantine Christus Patiens. It traces a broad arc from Classical Athens through the Roman Empire, taking in also Hellenistic Alexandria, the Greek-speaking East, Christianity, and Byzantine literature. By examining the cultural contexts and inflections of the different receptions of one poetic text – Greek, Roman and Italian, ‘Eastern’, and Christian – it exposes distinctions between religious or cultural attitudes to Bac- chus/Dionysus across a broad range of Greek and Latin sources. The discussion is divided into four thematic sections, within which receptions are mostly pre- sented in chronological order: Classic Bacchae; Performances; Narratives; and Christian discourse. These sections encompass drama, epic, didactic, epyllion, historiography, biography, epigram, scholarly citations, and theological texts. A selection of the most significant case studies receive in-depth discussion in the body of the chapter; for completeness, the reception history of Bacchae is filled out by listing additional receptions in summary form in an appendix. Introduction Euripides’ Bacchae was undoubtedly the single most influential literary text for constructions of Dionysus throughout Greco-Roman antiquity. In this chapter, we examine how receptions of the play across the spectrum of Greek and Roman literature act as a barometer for cultural attitudes to Dionysus. Many of the most significant and revealing receptions occur in Latin texts or in Greek texts that deal with Roman subjects, whether Plutarch’s Antony, Greek epigrams about Italian pantomime performances, or Christian writings polemicizing against Greek and Roman cults.

  • Few Problems in Herodotus Have Attracted More Scholarly Attention Than the Religious Attidudes He Expresses in Book 2
    Herodotus, Dionysus, and the Greek death taboo. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the construction of the “chthonic” in Greek literary tradition. Herodotus’ explicit avoidance of the mentioning of divine names and matters in the second book of the Histories counts in most cases as instances of the Greek taboo concerning the relation of gods to the impurity of death, which the Egyptian death cult of Osiris transgresses in an obvious manner. In 2.171.2–3, Herodotus’ reticence may have concerned Persephone, whose name was taboo for the same reasons. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the Theogony, the Eumenides, and other works featuring underwordly deities, construed the Chthonian category of the divine as an attempt to justify and explain the nature of these ancient agricultural gods and rituals in a manner acceptable to the aristocratic religious tendency, which had come to regard death as impure: a tendency which justifiably may be called Olympian and traced its ideological origins back to the Homeric epos.1 One of many contentious problems in Herodotus concerns the religious attitudes expressed, purportedly as his own, in the second book of the Histories, in particular those attitudes which indicate a taboo in operation. On a number of occasions, Herodotus claims that it is forbidden or sacrilegious for him to mention something, usually the name of a god. A couple of times he states that the mention of something of a religious character would be unpleasant or improper. There are also some passages which have been taken as implicit expressions of the same or a similar attitude.

Hardie illustrated that the Theban narra- tive of Ovid Metamorphoses 3 and 4 was the first anti-Aeneid. He did not include discussion of the death of Pentheus at the end of Book 3. In this article I show that the depiction of the Theban king’s death is bound up with key Vergilian intertexts which have a profound impact both on reading the pathos of the scene, but more importantly, on Ovid’s reconstruction of the end of the Aeneid and the death of Turnus.

  • Rejection and Integration: State Reactions to the Evolution of Dionysian Mystery Cult In
    Rejection and Integration: State Reactions to the Evolution of Dionysian Mystery Cult in Greece and Rome by Andrew Noakes A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Classical Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 © Andrew Noakes 2019 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis examines the integration of Dionysian mystery cults into the state religions of Greek polis and the Roman Republic. The cults are often portrayed as controversial and immoral in myth and literature, but the official reactions of various ancient city states never restricted the cult’s rituals or showed any concern over moral degeneracy. Rather, official reactions from the state pertained solely to leadership and organization of the cults. This thesis proposes that the reason for this is that Dionysian mystery cults provided an opportunity for women to obtain leadership, authority, and self definition through a means that was usually restricted to only a small number of women who obtained official state priesthoods. Therefore integration of the cults and restriction on leadership was the most common reaction, with some allowances still made for the cults to exist in private forms. When this opportunity for leadership, authority and self definition was opened up to men, as in the case of the Roman Bacchanalia, the state reacted much more harshly since the cult now provided a social structure that undermined those of the Roman Republic.

She claims that her book is “intended for a broad readership,” surely important in a globalized world propelled by a certain capitalistic drive that, coupled with isolated fanaticism, threatens to abolish or limit education to “profitable” subjects, most of which do not include studying the classics—and certainly not those written in ancient dead languages.

  • I Revision of Euripides' Tragedies by Contemporary Women Playwrights
    Revision of Euripides’ Tragedies by Contemporary Women Playwrights DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mina Choi, M.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Adviser Joy Reilly Beth Kattelman i Copyright by Mina Choi 2013 ii Abstract The issues addressed by the writers of fifth-century B.C. Athens continue to have great relevance for the contemporary world. This research focuses on the gender dynamics of the plays and how contemporary revisions by women offer new ways of considering these classic texts. Greek drama is known for its strong and vibrant female characters. I use Euripides’ three Greek tragedies--Medea, The Trojan Women, and The Bacchae--as the source texts for new versions of the plays by women writers. I draw on Lynda Hart’s triad of dramaturgical sites that define a feminist dramaturgy: women’s bodies, language, and theatrical space. Chapter two focuses on four revisions of Medea: Franca Rame’s Medea (1981), Jackie Crossland’s Collateral Damage (1991), Deborah Porter’s No More Medea (1990), and Marina Carr’s By the Bog of the Cats (1998). Unlike the character of Medea in Euripides’ play, who discusses Greek honor with heroic language, Rame’s Medea uses a dialect of central Italy, and Carr’s Hester, a stand-in for Medea, uses an Irish dialect illustrating that Medea is not an icon of monstrous motherhood but a particular woman suffering in the patriarchal world. These versions of Medea enter the stage to tell their side of the mythic story of maternal infanticide.

The Titans were the previous generation, and family of gods, whom the Olympians had to overthrow, and banish from the upper world, in order to become the ruling pantheon of Greek gods. For Hesiod, possibly in order to match the twelve Olympian gods, there were twelve Titans: six males and six females, with some of Hesiod's names perhaps being mere poetic inventions, so as to arrive at the right number. As individuals, few of the Titans have any separate identity. The Titans play a key role in an important part of Greek mythology, the succession myth. According to the standard version of the succession myth, given in Hesiod's Theogony , Uranus initially produced eighteen children with Gaia: the twelve Titans, the three Cyclopes , and the three Hecatoncheires Hundred-Handers , [43] but hating them, [44] he hid them away somewhere inside Gaia. Only her son Cronus was willing. Cronus, having now taken over control of the cosmos from Uranus, wanted to ensure that he maintained control. Uranus and Gaia had prophesied to Cronus that one of Cronus' own children would overthrow him, so when Cronus married Rhea, he made sure to swallow each of the children she birthed: Hestia , Demeter , Hera , Hades , Poseidon , and Zeus in that order , to Rhea's great sorrow. Zeus, now grown, forced Cronus using some unspecified trickery of Gaia to disgorge his other five children.
