Sortis nescio qua iniquitate accidit, ut, si exceperls quæ Herc- dotus, Thucydides, Xenophon commentariis suis tradîderunt, uberior antiquioris Græcorum historiæ expositio oninis fere nobis haurienda sit ex serioris demum ætatis scriptoribus. Qui quoniam ex aliorum libris sua hauserunt tanlum non omnia, auctoritas eorum in plerisque pendet ex diligenlia, quam ad fontes conquirendos attulerunt, et ex eorum quos duces sequeren-, tur delectu. Jam vero quamvis diligentia plurimorum animique sincera voluntas laudandæ sint, atque nefas habeam temerarie velle insolenterque meritis eorum detrahere; fatendum tamen est ipsius ætatis horum scriptorum indolem, cujus vim subterfugere non poterant, tantum abesse, ut altiores verioresque de arte scri- bendæ histo riæ notiones iis suggesserit , ut in perniciosa sæpenumero eos abduxerit consilia. Quod quia in auctorum, quibus suam illi fidem adjungerent, delectum et usum magnam vim exercere debuit , mox intellexerunt viri docti non pesse nos in Diodori et Plutarchi, ut bos nominem , auctoritâte acquiescere, neque quidquam magis faciendum esse existimarunt, quam fon- tium illorum accuratam habere notitiam, fragmenta eorum colli- gera, inter se contendere, accuratissime examinare. ltaque novum quoddam studiorum genus emersit, quod etsi multis impeditum dilficultatibus tædiique plenum , tamen tanto ardentius nostri ævi l’anime "monceau. a 416608 hommesl l Pli eruditi ÆFATIO. amplexi sunt , quanto majorem ex eo in pemtm- rem historiæ Icognitionem redundare videruut utilitatem. Quo denique successu in bis elaboraverint, quantam doctrinæ crudi- tionisque copiam, quantum ingenii acumen et sagacitatem adhi- buerint, non est profecto, cur hic memoremus. Alio nos conver- tamus. Etenim postquam viri docli disjecta membra nobiliorum scriptorum collegerant , et, quum vitam iis restituere non possent,. umbram certe uniuscujusque ac imaginem quandam delineaverant, Eirmz’nus Bidet, quæ est ejus viri celeberrimi eximia in his rebus prudentia, nihil jam antiquius habendum esse censuit, quam omnes illas fragmentorum collectiones in unum corpus unius vo- iuminis spatio circumscriptum congerere et ex Ordine disponere. Quod institutum tum aliis se nominibus commendare vidit, tum propterea liistoriæ studiosis gratissimum fore, quod multorum scriptorum testimonia hac ratione sub unumoculorum conspectum venire interque se comparari possent, atque ipsius artis historicæ apud Græcos viva quasi præberetur imago, ita ut a nativa logo- graphorum simplicitate ascenderes ad historiam omnibus dictionis luminibus collustratam, deinde ab riietorica hac et pragmatica Ephori et Theopompi rerum expositione pauilatim descenderes ad jejuniorem illum Atticarum rerum scriptorum sermonem do- ctamque qua excellunt perscrutationem monumentorum. V Jam quum fragmenta ordinandi, recognoscendi, vertendi nego- tium Firminus Didot mihi demandaverit, meum est dicere, quo- modo in eo sim versatus. Auctores , quorum reliquiæ hoc volumine comprehenduntur, hi sunt : Hecatæus, Charon, Xanthus, Hellanicus, Pherecydes, Acu- silaus. His, qui primam collectionis partem efficiunt, tanquam sup- plementum subjunximus Bibliothecam Apollodori. Reliquorum hujus auctoris operum fragmenta a consilio nostro aliena quidam fuerunt, sed ne imperfectam rem reliquisse videremur, ea in calce libri apponenda curavimus. Logographos excipiunt scriptores re- rum Sicularum, Antiochus, Philistus, Timæus. Deinde sequuntur Ephorus et Theopompus et Phylarchus. Agmen denique claudunt Atthidum auctores : Clitodemus, Phanodemus, Audrotio, Demo, Philochorus, Ister. Eorum quos postremo loco nominavi, necnon Phylarchi fragmenta quum quominus ipse retractarem temporum angustiis excluderer, frater meus Theodorus disponendi ea et re- cognoscendi negotium benigne voluit in se recipere. Ordine auctorum ita constituto,PRÆFATIO. singulorum fragmenta, Il!quibus nova non pauca a nobis addita sunt, ubique ita ordinal-e stu- duimus, ut, quantum ejus fieri poterat, integri operis dispositio ndnmbraretur; quod quum primarium fragmeutorum editoris of- ficiuin sit, ac revera picrique magnam huic rei operam navaverint, a nonnullis tamen ea aut plane neglecta est, aut minus feliciter iis successit. Ut deinde contextus verborum ad veram uniuscujusque auctoris scripturam quam proxime accederet, consuluimus et opti- mas veterum scriptorum editiones, et, ubi licuit, libros manu- scriptos. Quæ denique a viris doctis aliud agentibu-s oblata occa- sione in nostris fragmentis emendata innotuerunt, diligenter eno- tavimus. Qua ex parte si nonnulla, vel etiam multa, nos fugerunt, id lector benevolus non tam negligentiæ nostræ imputaverit quam ennriæ supellectilis literariæ. liberior annotatio omnem lectionis varietalem enumerans atque verba et res usquequaque illustrans ab editionis hujus consilio prou-sus abhorret. Nam præterquam quod cavendum erat, ne moles libri in immensum accresceret, quæ ad verborum intelligentiam a iectoribus, quibus græcus sermo minus est familiaris, desiderari possint, versio suppeditat latina, quam propterea sæpenumero liberiorem dedimus, non tam id agentes ut verbum redderemus verbo, quam ut sententiam auctoris aperiremus. Itaque nonnisi ubi majoribus difficultatibus res impediuntur, notæ, eæque quam brevissimæ, subjiciendæ erant. Id quod fecimus modo nostris verbis , mode appositis cum nominis signo priorum interpretum animadversionibus. Quam rationem in solis Hecatœi fragmentis reliquimus, ubi quæ in notis leguntur omnia sunt Clausenii. Quare non erat cur auctoris nomen adpingeremus. De iis enim fragmentis, quæ Clausenius Porphyrii testimonio fisus vel conje- cturis et speciosis argumentationibus Hecatæo suo vindicavit, quum a viri docti judicio nobis recedendum esset, neque vero tribus verbis res profligari posset, editoris argumenta ipsissimis ejur verbis adscripsimus nostram sententiam separatim exposituri. In panois illis Charonis et Xanthi reliquiis plerumque secuti sumus Creuzerum. In Hellanico, Pherecyde, Acusilao, relicto quem Sturzius adoptavit ordine, novam dare fragminum dispositionem tentavimus.

    Excerpts from Iliad Six (Hector Is the Oldest Son of Troy's King Priam, And

    EXCERPTS FROM HOMER Excerpts from Iliad Six (Hector is the oldest son of Troy’s King Priam, and the chief defender of the city. He leaves battle temporarily to return to the city.) Focus questions: 1. What are the main roles of women in this section – i.e., what are the actions of the Trojan women, Theano, Hecuba (the queen, Hector’s mother) and Andromache? 2. How do women’s roles support the survival of the city – or do they? 3. In what ways do women contribute to or detract from a man’s honor? 4. Hector and Andromache’s relationship is perfect in Greek terms – how do they relate to one another? What is the balance of “power”? What roles does each play in the family? Now when Hector reached the Scaean gates and the oak tree, the wives and daughters of the Trojans came running towards him to ask after their sons, brothers, kinsmen, and husbands: he told them to set about praying to the gods, and many were made sorrowful as they heard him. Presently he reached the splendid palace of King Priam, adorned with colonnades of hewn stone. In it there were fifty bedchambers- all of hewn stone- built near one another, where the sons of Priam slept, each with his wedded wife. Opposite these, on the other side the courtyard, there were twelve upper rooms also of hewn stone for Priam's daughters, built near one another, where his sons-in-law slept with their wives. When Hector got there, his fond mother came up to him with Laodice the fairest of her daughters.

    Chthonic Aspects of Macdonald's Phantastes: from the Rising of The

    Chthonic Aspects of MacDonald’s Phantastes: From the Rising of the Goddess to the Anodos of Anodos Fernando Soto The Herios was a woman’s festival. Plutarch of course could not be present at the secret ceremonies of the Thyaiades, but his friend Thyia, their president, would tell him all a man might know . From the rites known to him he promptly conjectured that it was a “Bringing up of Semele.” Semele, it is acknowledged, is but a Thraco-Phrygian form of Gaia, The “Bringing up of Semele” is but the Anodos of Gala or of Kore the Earth Maiden. It is the Return of the vegetation or Year-Spirit in the spring. (Jane Harrison, Themis 416) 1. Introduction and General Backgrounds hantastes is one of the most mysterious books George MacDonald wrote andP one of the least understood books in the English tradition. Since its publication in 1858, reviewers, readers and researchers have experienced great difficulties understanding the meaning of this complex work.The perceived impediments have been so great that some scholars remain unsure whether Phantastes contains a coherent plot or structure (Reis 87, 89, 93-94; Robb 85, 97; etc.). Other critics appear adamant that it contains neither (Wolff 50; Manlove, Modern 55, 71, 77, 79; England 65, 93, 122). Even those scholars who sense a structure or perceive a plot differ not only regarding the types of structure(s) and/or plot(s) they acknowledge (Docherty 17-22; McGillis “Community” 51-63; Gunther “First Two” 32-42), but in deciding into what, if any, genres or traditions Phantastes belongs (Prickett, “Bildungsroman” 109-23; Docherty 19, 23, 30, McGillis, “Femininity” 31-45; etc.).

    Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf

    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

    DE NOVIS LIBRIS IUDICIA A. H. M. KESSELS, Studies on the Dream In

    DE NOVIS LIBRIS IUDICIA A. H. M. KESSELS, Studies on the dream in Greek Literature, Utrecht, Hes Publishers, 1978. XI, 268 pp. Under the title Studies on the dream in Greek literature Dr. A. H. M. Kessels offers, first, an Introduction on previous theories and literature about dreams in Homer and on the special character of the Homeric poems and its consequences for the study of dreams, secondly in three chapters ("The dream in Homer", "The pattern of the Homeric dream-scene", "Conclusions"), a detailed analysis of dreams and dream-references in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and finally, two more general "studies", entitled "Greek terminology for `dream' and 'dreaming ...... The dream in simile and metaphor" . -It would have helped the reader if the title of the book reflected more adequately the author's scope and material.- In this review I confine myself to focusing the attention of the reader on some Homeric utterances on dreams, on the interpreta- tion of which we have not reached agreement, despite ample and pleasant discussions after finding out that we were working in the same field. Whether the dveipox6Xoq in Il. I, 62-68 is to be con- sidered as a skilled interpreter of other people's dreams, or as the dreamer by the inspiration of a god, intentionally lying down for a mantic sleep, seems to be left vague, unless we find in the fact that no dreams of others are mentioned here an indication for a "Traumseher" rather than for a "Traumdeuter", as Mr. Kessels s does (p. 25 ff). To me both the term oneiropolos and the situation which he is supposed to clarify allow for no more than a mantis who is specialized in, who deals with dreams, when asked for a ritual ad- vice, no matter whether those dreams are dreamt by himself, or by others (either involved in the situation or taken from mantic collec- tions of terata and dreams).

Illustrations by Paul Elliott Acknowledgements It was a pleasure working on this project, being a history teacher it’s a fantastic feeling that it’s quite well possible to merge history and roleplaying together. I hope that the reader as much enjoys playing it as I enjoyed writing this little “Campaign Guide”. I especially want to thank Paul Elliott, the creator of the wonderful ZENOBIA. He has been my mentor, my great help and especially a very good friend who encouraged me when the spirit was low. Thanks Paul for letting me take part in your great adventure, for the editting work, for the maps and drawings, and for the fine articles you wrote in this book! I really hope we’ll see each other someday face-to-face my friend!

Lost and forgotten beneath Ionia are the artefacts and treasures of the Olympian gods, harkening back to the Age of Heroes when Zeus, Ares and Athena walked the earth in disguise, when heroes like Achilles fought with magical invulnerability, when witches like Medea ruled secret enchanted islands.

PHILIP II OF MACEDON: A CONSIDERATION OF BOOKS VII - IX OF JUSTIN* S EPITOME OF POMPEIUS TROGUS THESIS SUBMITTED IN APPLICATION FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS - by - J. S. WADE, B. A. DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM OCTOBER 1977 ABSTRACT The aim of this dissertation is two-fold: firstly to examine the career and character of Philip II of Macedon as portrayed in Books VII - IX of Justin's epitome of the Historiae Phillppicae .of Pompeius Trqgus, and to consider to what extent Justin-Trogus (a composite name for the author of the views in the text of Justin) furnishes accurate historical fact, and to what extent he paints a one-sided interpretation of the events, and secondly to identify as far as possible Justin's principles of selection and compression as evidenced in Books VII - IX.

    300 Jim Marks Jim Marks Context as Hypertext: Divine Rescue Scenes in the Iliad A number of factors determine the fates of individual characters during battlefield scenes in the Iliad. In terms of sheer body count, most of those that perish in battle seem to have been created simply in order for others to kill them.1 Typical of this group is the Trojan Cleoboulus, who receives neither dying words nor patronymic nor homeland, and appears only long enough to fall to Oileian Ajax (16.330–334). As for the more developed characters, life or death in battle is, to begin with, a function of the plot: major heroes by definition survive through most or all of the narrative, and lesser ones at least until they have performed their subsidiary roles. Hec- tor, for instance, must remain alive until the dramatic climax of the plot in Book 22, while the Trojan ally Pandarus is killed soon after he performs the necessary function of restarting the war following the duel between Menelaus and Paris in Book 3 (4.85–222, 5.243–296). The fates of at least some of these more developed characters are also influenced by the fact that they were already or were becoming established in other contexts at the time when the Iliad was taking shape. Odysseus, to take an obvious example, cannot die in the Iliad because he was a widely recognized figure best known for a successful return from Troy, as is at- tested in the Homeric Odyssey and non-Homeric poetry, artistic represen- tations, cult activity on his native Ithaca, and so on.
