ELMER Helen Epigrammatopoios Ancient commentators identify several passages in the Iliad as “epigrams.” This paper explores the consequences of taking the scholia literally and understanding these passages in terms of inscription. Two tristichs spoken by Helen in the teikhoskopia are singled out for special attention. These lines can be construed not only as epigrams in the general sense, but more speciWcally as captions appended to an image of the Achaeans encamped on the plain of Troy. Since Helen’s lines to a certain extent correspond to the function and style of catalogic poetry, reading them speciWcally as captions leads to a more nuanced understanding of both Homeric poetry and Homeric self-reference. By contrasting Helen’s “epigrams” with those of Hektor, one can also discern a gender-based diVerentiation of poetic functions. No Greek literary genre is more inextricably linked to the technology of writ- ingthantheepigram, whichderivesitsdeWning characteristics from the exigencies of inscription. It may therefore seem somewhat incongruent to Wnd discernible gestures toward this most scriptural genre in the most thoroughly “oral” texts that survive from antiquity, the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey.

Summaries of the Trojan Cycle Search the GML advanced Sections in this Page Introduction Trojan Cycle: Cypria Iliad (Synopsis) Aethiopis Little Iliad Sack of Ilium Returns Odyssey (Synopsis) Telegony Other works on the Trojan War Bibliography Introduction and Definition of terms The so called Epic Cycle is sometimes referred to with the term Epic Fragments since just fragments is all that remain of them. Some of these fragments contain details about the Theban wars (the war of the SEVEN and that of the EPIGONI), others about the prowesses of Heracles 1 and Theseus, others about the origin of the gods, and still others about events related to the Trojan War. The latter, called Trojan Cycle, narrate events that occurred before the war (Cypria), during the war (Aethiopis, Little Iliad, and Sack of Ilium ), and after the war (Returns, and Telegony). The term epic (derived from Greek épos = word, song) is generally applied to narrative poems which describe the deeds of heroes in war, an astounding process of mutual destruction that periodically and frequently affects mankind. This kind of poetry was composed in early times, being chanted by minstrels during the 'Dark Ages'—before 800 BC—and later written down during the Archaic period— from c. 700 BC). Greek Epic is the earliest surviving form of Greek (and therefore "Western") literature, and precedes lyric poetry, elegy, drama, history, philosophy, mythography, etc.

  • 'Myth' and 'Religion'
    THOUGHTS ON MYTH AND RELIGION IN EARLY GREEK HISTORIOGRAPHY Robert L. FOWLER University of Bristol [email protected] RESUMEN: El artículo examina el nacimiento del concepto de mythos/mito en el contexto de la historiografía y la mitografía de la Grecia arcaica. La posibilidad de oponerse a relatos tradicionales es un factor crítico en este proceso y se relaciona estrechamente con los esfuerzos de los autores por fijar su autoridad. Se compara la práctica de Heródoto con la de los primeros mitógrafos y, aunque hay amplias similitudes, hay diferencias cruciales en el tratamiento de los asuntos religiosos. Los escrúpulos personales de Heródoto responden en parte a su bien conocida reserva en lo referente a los dioses, pero es también relevante su actitud acerca de la tarea del historiador y su noción de cómo los dioses intervienen en la historia. Mientras que los mitógrafos tratan de historicizar la mitología, Heródoto trata de modo notable de desmitologizar la historia, separando ambas, pero al mismo tiempo definiendo con más profundidad que nunca sus auténticas interconexiones. Esta situación sugiere algunas consideraciones generales acerca de la relación entre mito y ritual en Grecia. ABSTRACT: The article examines the emerging concept of mythos/myth in the context of early Greek historiography and mythography. The possibility of contesting traditional stories is a critical factor in this process, and is closely related to the efforts of writers to establish their authority. Herodotos’ practice is compared with that of the early mythographers, and though there are some broad similarities, there are crucial differences in their approach to religious matters.

  • A Hermeneutical Profile of the Hypomnemata
    CHAPTER 9 A Hermeneutical Profile of the Hypomnemata This chapter offers a hermeneutical profile of the hypomnemata. This profile is based on the exegetical resources as they were defined in the previous chapter. As we shall see, the notion of Homer as a conscious, individual author and teacher governs interpretations of the Iliad in the hypomnemata. The resourc- es the hypomnema exegetes apply to derive meaning from their base text tie in with this overarching perspective. 1 Perspectivisation The hypomnema commentators approached the Homeric epics as the works of a single, conscious author and teacher by the name of Homer. For these exegetes, “Homer” referred not just to a collection of literary compositions,1 but to a single, conscious author, who had a name, a biography, and a style.2 Homer not merely composed, but also wrote down the Iliad and the Odyssey.3 1 The extent of Homer’s literary production was discussed in antiquity. Aristotle, for instance, famously attributed the Margites to Homer. Others attributed the Homeric Hymns, or even poetry in general, to Homer. See Rudolf Pfeiffer, History of Classical Scholarship: From the Beginnings to the Hellenistic Age (Oxford: Clarendon, 1968), 73–74; Alexander Beecroft, Authorship and Cultural Identity in Early Greece and China: Patterns of Literary Circulation (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010), 61–105. 2 See Dirk M.

    THE LIGHTNING THIEF Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Book 1 Rick Riordan 1 | Page 1 I ACCIDENTALLY VAPORIZE MY PRE-ALGEBRA TEACHER Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe what-ever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside-stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a mat-ter of time before they sense it too, and they'll come for you. Don't say I didn't warn you. My name is Percy Jackson. I'm twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York. 2 | Page Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that. I could start at any point in my short miserable life to prove it, but things really started going bad last May, when our sixth-grade class took a field trip to Manhattan- twenty-eight mental-case kids and two teachers on a yellow school bus, heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to look at ancient Greek and Roman stuff.

  • Ana Maria Lóio Martial Reworks the Hellenistic Tradition of Writing Epigrams on Poets, in Its Several Types,1 Celebrating Himse
    19. INHERITING SPEECH. TALKING BOOKS COME TO FLAVIAN ROME* Ana Maria Lóio Martial reworks the Hellenistic tradition of writing epigrams on poets, in its several types,1 celebrating himself as well as others. Indeed the epigrammatist produces his own epitaph, which is to be inscribed on his own statue in Avitus’ library (9 praef. 5–9); 1.1 is a self- homage, which some have thought destined to accompany his portrait; a distich on Virgil, one in a series of “tags” for books (14.183–96), would seem to fulfill the same function (14.186); Silius and Lucan are also among those commended (7.63, 11.48; 7.21–23).2 Further, Martial experimented with the rare type of epigrams spoken by a book:3 for instance, the Greek Batrachomachia4 has something to say about itself—in Latin!— * I am most grateful to Paolo Fedeli, Joy Littlewood, Cristina Pimentel, Stefano Grazzini, David Paniagua, Darcy Krasne, Fotini Hadjittofi, and Barry Taylor for their kind reading and suggestions. 1 On the Greek tradition of writing epigrams on poets, see Gabathuler (1937); Bing (1988a) 29–53, 58–64, (1988b), and (1993); Rossi (2001) 81–106. A typology is proposed by Gabathuler (1937) 107–11 and discussed by Rossi (2001) 85-86. 2 See Citroni (1975) 14–15 and Henriksén (2012) 2, 9–10 on Martial’s epigrams on himself; on the portrait tradition, see Lausberg (1982) 562 n. 7; for the other epigrams, see the commentary and bibliography in Leary (1996) 251; Galán Vioque (2002) 168–79, 364–371; Kay (1985) 173–175.

"Either a Daimon, or a Hero, or Perhaps a God:" Mythical Residents of Subterranean Chambers In his list of seers who uttered gods' orders and messages to mortals not only when alive, but also after their death, Strabo1 mentions "...Amphiaraos, Trophonios, Orpheus, Musaios, and the god of the Getae, formerly Zalmoxis, a Pythagorean, who is in our time Dekaineos, the diviner of Byrebistas... ,,2 Aristides groups together Trophonios, Amphiaraos, Amphilochos and the Asclepiads.3 Celsus includes Zalmoxis, Mopsos, Amphilochos, Amphiaraos, and Trophonios in his register of mortals who died and were nevertheless worshiped, whieh makes Origen wonder, "whether one of these is either a daimon, or a hero, or perhaps a god, more active than mortals" (ft ècr'tt nç èv 'toîç 'tOtQU'tOlÇ Eï'tE 8atllcov Eï'tE llPcoÇ Eï'tE Kat 8E6ç, èVEPYéOv 't!Va lldÇova ft Ka'teX av8pco1tov;).4 The bewilderment of Origen 'is reasonable, given the elusiveness of these figures.
