  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

Kernos Pherekydes’ Daktyloi 1 Pherekydes’ Daktyloi Ritual, technology, and the Presocratic perspective Sandra Blakely Introduction: Classics and the Evolutionary paradigm 1 Western culture is traditionally ill equipped to understand the intersection of ritual and technology. Pfaffenberger, Killick, and Lansing have observed the causes, and what is lost by failing to shake these off.1 Because these activities occupy different categories in the industrialized world, attempts to interpret their coincidence in other cultures lean to the dismissive. They are regarded as a reflection of the earliest stages of invention, compensatory appeals to the divine that reflect incomplete mastery of technological processes. The combination is often called magic by both practitioners and academics. Magic has been traditionally synonymous with primitivism; an evolutionary model suggests that such superstitions evaporate as technology is mastered, and linger only in folk tales and half-remembered superstitions.2 The cost of this paradigm is substantial. Emphasizing the movement into subsequent intellectual paradigms, it reduces attention to symbols in context.

  • An Ancient Theatre Dynasty: the Elder Carcinus, the Young Xenocles and the Sons of Carcinus in Aristophanes
    Philologus 2016; 160(1): 1–18 Edmund Stewart* An Ancient Theatre Dynasty: The Elder Carcinus, the Young Xenocles and the Sons of Carcinus in Aristophanes DOI 10.1515/phil-2016-0001 Abstract: The elder Carcinus and his sons are mentioned, or appear on stage, as tragic performers in three plays by Aristophanes (Wasps, Clouds and Peace). They provide a unique insight into how the performance of tragedy could be (and frequently was) a family business. This study attempts to establish what can be known about this theatrical family from the evidence of comedy and how it functioned as an acting troupe. Moreover, in examining how the family troupe changed over time, we begin to learn more about the process by which one of Carcinus’ sons, Xenocles, was trained as a tragic poet. Though little is known about Carcinus, Xenocles was a relatively successful tragedian, who was active in the final two decades of the fifth century B.C. Both ancient and modern scholars have assumed that Xenocles was a poet by 422, when he is thought to have appeared as a character in the Wasps. I argue that Xenocles did not in fact make his debut as an independent poet until after 420. Before this date Aristophanes recognises Carcinus as the poet of the family company, which suggests that the young Xenocles was still serving his apprenticeship with his father at this time. Keywords: Aristophanes, Carcinus, Xenocles, tragedy, actors Introduction Theatre in the fifth century was often a family business. Sons, grandsons and other relations of tragedians frequently followed their forebears into a career in the theatre, either as actors or poets.1 The same was true of comic performers, though 1 See Sutton (1987) 11–9; Olson (2000) 69–70.

Proclus and Artemis: On the Relevance of Neoplatonism to the Modern Study of Andent Religion* Imagine the situation in which contemporary philosophers would find themselves if Wittgenstein introduced, in his Philosophical Investigations, the religious figure of Jesus as Logos and Son of God in order to illuminate the puzzlement ofthe private-language paradox, or if in the second division of Being and Time Heidegger mentioned the archangel Michael to support the argument of 'being toward death'. Similar is the perplexity that a modern reader is bound to encounter when, after a highly sophisticated analysis of demanding metaphysical questions about the relationship of the one and the many, finitude and infinity, mind and body, Proclus, l in ail seriousness and without the slightest touch of irony, assigns to some traditional gods of Greek polytheism a definitive place in the structure of being.

Edmonds III Bryn Mawr University The most striking aspect of the tiny gold tablets often known as the Orphic gold leaves is undoubtedly the enigmatic declaration: ʺI am the child of Earth and starry Heavenʺ. All of the tablets which, following Zuntzʹs classification, have been labelled B tablets, contain this mysterious formula, whether the scenario of the deceasedʹs journey through the underworld is described in greater or lesser detail1. The statement captures the imagination with its imagery and its simplicity, but also with its mysterious nature.

During the same time-span, dancers. Eclecticism is emphasized as a strategy which was used to intro- the iconography of such dancers was also used for depictions duce novelties that were appropriate within a Roman cultural context. The figures representing kalathiskos dancers and pyrrhic dancers were of the goddess Victoria (Table 4). The armed males modelled both changed in an eclectic manner and this resulted in motifs repre- on pyrrhic dancers, on the other hand, are only depicted senting the goddess Victoria, and the curetes respectively.

As the preface to the Teseus-Romulus makes clear, Plutarch himself sees these mythological fgures as qualitatively different from his other biographical sub- jects, with the consequence that this particular pair of Lives serves as a limit case by which it is possible to elucidate the boundaries of Plutarch’s authorial identity. Tey present, moreover, a set of opportunities for him to demonstrate his ability to curate and present familiar material (the founding of Rome, Teseus in the labyrinth) in demonstration of his broad learning. To this end, I regard the Teseus-Romulus as a fundamentally integral text, both of whose parts should be read alongside one another and the rest of Plutarch’s corpus rather than as mere outgrowths of the tra- ditions about the early history of Athens and Rome, respectively.

  • Apollod.] 3.5.5 (41 W.)
    Un’isola per i Phlegyai: Euph. CA fr. 115 e [Apollod.] 3.5.5 (41 W.) I bellicosi Phlegyai sono ricordati dalle fonti antiche per un’intensa attività di deva- stazione e rapina, praticata in diverse regioni del territorio greco e non di rado sfo- ciata in manifestazioni di somma empietà: oltre che in Tessaglia (Laceria, Girtone), essi sono localizzati in Beozia (Orcomeno, area della Copaide), in Focide (Daulide, Panopeo) e anche nel Peloponneso (Epidauro). La prima attestazione di questo po- polo è una similitudine iliadica, in cui i due eroi Meriones e Idomeneus, mentre pro- cedono in armi verso la battaglia, vengono paragonati ad Ares e al figlio Phobos nell’atto di intervenire in un conflitto tra Phlegyai ed Ephyroi. Alla notizia di tale conflitto, si aggiungono varie testimonianze che documentano assalti contro Tebe e contro Delfi. Nel primo caso, sappiamo che per contrastare i Phlegyai, Amphion e Zethos furono costretti a fortificare la loro città, ma alla morte dei gemelli Tebe si trovò inerme agli attacchi degli invasori, capitanati da Eurymachos. In Focide, la hybris flegia raggiunse il culmine con l’attacco al tempio di Apollo, avvenimento che lasciò anche un segno nella lingua locale – dove φλεγυᾶν significava ὑβρίζειν – e favorí la nascita di tradizioni in merito a interventi in difesa del luogo sacro, co- me quello del corpo argivo di uomini scelti, guidato da Philammon e completamente annientato, o quello degli Arcadi di Elatos, figlio di Arkas, che era rimasto in Focide dopo la fondazione di Elateia. Alla ricerca di nuove terre da saccheggiare, infine, pa- re che Phlegyas si fosse spinto addirittura sino a Epidauro, accompagnato dalla figlia Koronis, la quale in questo luogo si sarebbe sgravata di Asklepios, di nascosto dal padre1.

  • Wandering Poets and the Dissemination of Greek Tragedy in the Fifth
    Wandering Poets and the Dissemination of Greek Tragedy in the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BC Edmund Stewart Abstract This work is the first full-length study of the dissemination of Greek tragedy in the earliest period of the history of drama. In recent years, especially with the growth of reception studies, scholars have become increasingly interested in studying drama outside its fifth century Athenian performance context. As a result, it has become all the more important to establish both when and how tragedy first became popular across the Greek world. This study aims to provide detailed answers to these questions. In doing so, the thesis challenges the prevailing assumption that tragedy was, in its origins, an exclusively Athenian cultural product, and that its ‘export’ outside Attica only occurred at a later period. Instead, I argue that the dissemination of tragedy took place simultaneously with its development and growth at Athens. We will see, through an examination of both the material and literary evidence, that non-Athenian Greeks were aware of the works of Athenian tragedians from at least the first half of the fifth century. In order to explain how this came about, I suggest that tragic playwrights should be seen in the context of the ancient tradition of wandering poets, and that travel was a usual and even necessary part of a poet’s work. I consider the evidence for the travels of Athenian and non-Athenian poets, as well as actors, and examine their motives for travelling and their activities on the road. In doing so, I attempt to reconstruct, as far as possible, the circuit of festivals and patrons, on which both tragedians and other poetic professionals moved.
