  • Athenians and Eleusinians in the West Pediment of the Parthenon
    ATHENIANS AND ELEUSINIANS IN THE WEST PEDIMENT OF THE PARTHENON (PLATE 95) T HE IDENTIFICATION of the figuresin the west pedimentof the Parthenonhas long been problematic.I The evidencereadily enables us to reconstructthe composition of the pedimentand to identify its central figures.The subsidiaryfigures, however, are rath- er more difficult to interpret. I propose that those on the left side of the pediment may be identifiedas membersof the Athenian royal family, associatedwith the goddessAthena, and those on the right as membersof the Eleusinian royal family, associatedwith the god Posei- don. This alignment reflects the strife of the two gods on a heroic level, by referringto the legendary war between Athens and Eleusis. The recognition of the disjunctionbetween Athenians and Eleusinians and of parallelism and contrastbetween individualsand groups of figures on the pedimentpermits the identificationof each figure. The referenceto Eleusis in the pediment,moreover, indicates the importanceof that city and its majorcult, the Eleu- sinian Mysteries, to the Athenians. The referencereflects the developmentand exploitation of Athenian control of the Mysteries during the Archaic and Classical periods. This new proposalfor the identificationof the subsidiaryfigures of the west pedimentthus has critical I This article has its origins in a paper I wrote in a graduateseminar directedby ProfessorJohn Pollini at The Johns Hopkins University in 1979. I returned to this paper to revise and expand its ideas during 1986/1987, when I held the Jacob Hirsch Fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. In the summer of 1988, I was given a grant by the Committeeon Research of Tulane University to conduct furtherresearch for the article.

Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

From line 277 the play is set at a Thesmophoria, but a very odd Thesmophoria, in which the poet demonstrates his bold, inventive, and creative genius at work in reshaping this 'festival'.1 Aristophanes employs suf­ ficient elements of the real Thesmophoria to make the pro­ ceedings recognizable, but he also adds as major components several non-Thesmophoric elements, introduced in part for sheer comic effect, and in part, I shall argue, to shape his Thes­ mophoria and his play into a form more arpropriate to the civic and religious purposes and atmosphere 0 the festival in which it was presented, the City Dionysia.2 I For studies of the poet's presentation of genuine Thesmophoric elements and themes, see H.

  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

  • A Study of Female Agency in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter Through Word and Illustration
    A Study of Female Agency in The Homeric Hymn to Demeter through Word and Illustration Virginia Gan Shi White Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in The Classical Studies Department under the advisement of Catherine Gilhuly April 2017 © 2017 Virginia White 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Gilhuly for all her support and guidance, without her this project would not have been possible. Also thank you to Professor McGibbon for teaching me so much about printmaking and for always pushing me artistically. 2 Introduction This project came out of finding a way to combine Studio Art with Classical Studies. As someone who has always been interested in storyboards, mapping art onto myth over a series of panels was a logical choice. I decided to take an ancient Greek story, analyze it, and then make illustrations. This project on The Homeric Hymn to Demeter is therefore broken into three parts: Part I – English Translation of The Homeric Hymn to Demeter Part II – The Influence of a Mother in The Homeric Hymn to Demeter Part III – A Visual Translation of The Homeric Hymn to Demeter By first doing a close reading of the myth, in the original Greek, I could extract a more nuanced understanding of what the myth said. I then chose to focus on Demeter’s agency which revolved around her role as a mother and her defiance against her husband, motivated by the love of her daughter. Finally, everything that I learned was filtered into a printmaking project. The goal of my illustrations was to represent the theories explored in Part I but also bring a new understanding to the myth that could only be achieved through image.

  • The Shadow of Aristophanes: Hellenistic Poetry’S Reception of Comic Poetics*
    Author manuscript: Published in M.A. Harder, R.F. Regtuit & G.C. Wakker (eds.) (2018) Drama and Performance in Hellenistic Poetry . Hellenistica Groningana 23. Leuven (Peeters): 225-271. THE SHADOW OF ARISTOPHANES: HELLENISTIC POETRY’S RECEPTION OF COMIC POETICS* Thomas J. Nelson The influence of Attic drama on Hellenistic poetry has been a topic of little consistent focus in recent scholarship. Most scholars are content merely to note individual cases of parallels with Attic comedy or tragedy, or lament the loss of many dramas which would doubtless prove illuminating intertexts were they to have survived.1 What emerges is thus a rather piecemeal picture of Hellenistic poetry’s engagement with earlier dramatic texts. There are, of course, some notable exceptions, such as explorations of the underlying tragic elements in Apollonius’ Argonautica and Callimachus’ Hecale ,2 as well as the analysis of comedy’s influence on individual Hellenistic poems. 3 Yet the full extent of Hellenistic poetry’s debt to Attic drama remains largely unexplored terrain.4 This lack of scholarly attention may in part reflect the common belief that Hellenistic poets display a largely negative attitude to drama, 5 but it must also stem from the traditional emphasis on Hellenistic poetry as a written artefact, detached from any immediate context of performance – apparently a far cry from the socially embedded performance-culture of fifth century Athens. As many contributions to this volume demonstrate, however, this fifth-third century dichotomy is too simplistic, and the belief that classical drama was relatively unimportant for Hellenistic poets should be reconsidered given the continuing prominence of drama in the third and second centuries BCE.

  • Hesiod, Theogony
    Hesiod, Theogony Muses of Helicon, let us begin our song with them, who hold the great and holy mountain of Helicon, and around its violet-like spring and altar of exceedingly strong Kronios, dance on dainty feet, and who, after bathing their soft skin in the Permessos 5 or the spring of the Horse or holy Olmeios on the peak of Helicon, form their dances, beautiful dances that arouse desire, and they move erotically. From Helicon they rise up veiled in a deep mist and walk through the night, sending forth their voice most beautiful, 10 hymning aegis-bearing Zeus and Lady Hera the Argive clad in sandals of gold, and the daughter of Zeus of the aegis, gray-eyed Athena, and Phoebus Apollo and Artemis, who pour forth arrows, and Poseidon, holder and shaker of Gaia, and 15 august Themis and Aphrodite of the glancing eyes and and Hebe with her golden crown and beautiful Dione, and Leto and Iapetos and Kronos of crooked counsel and Eos and great Helios and shining Selene and Gaia and great Okeanos, and black Night and 20 the sacred clan of the other deathless ones who are for always. The Muses once taught Hesiod beautiful song while he was shepherding sheep at the foot of holy Helicon. The goddesses first spoke this word to me, the Muses of Olympus, daughters of aegis-bearing Zeus. 25 “Rustic shepherds, worthless reproaches, mere stomachs, we know how to say many lies like the truth, and, whenever we wish, we know how to tell the truth.” Thus spoke the fluent daughters of mighty Zeus, and they gave me a scepter, a branch of flourishing laurel 30 that they had plucked, a thing of wonder.

  • The Festival Proerosia Robertson, Noel Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1996; 37, 4; Proquest Pg
    New Light on Demeter's Mysteries: The Festival Proerosia Robertson, Noel Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1996; 37, 4; ProQuest pg. 319 New Light on Demeter's Mysteries: The Festival Proerosia Noel Robertson EMETER'S "MYSTERIES: festivals conducted mainly by women and in sanctuaries that were suitably withdrawn, D were almost universal in Greek cities, like the cereal agri­ culture they were intended to promote. They were integral to Greek society and are now widely and profitably studied as a social phenomenon. If the general custom is important, so are the many ritual actions that constitute a given festival, through which (according to one's point of view) the women either worship the goddess Demeter, or work directly on the earth, or affirm their sense of the fitness of things. Animal sacrifice plays a large part, as usual, the pig species being favored by De­ meter, and there is a peculiar practice of throwing piglets into a pit, which is then closed. It is a disadvantage that reconstructions of ritual must be sought in older handbooks and special studies. The basic work on Greek festivals was done long ago, and new evidence, though not wholly neglected, has not led to any sustained effort of revision. The festival Proerosia, "Before-ploughing (rites)," is such a case. The Athenian, or Eleusinian, version of this festival once seemed to stand alone, as if it were something secondary and contrived, without much bearing on the larger pattern of Demeter's worship. We can now see that the Proerosia was widespread. It may have been as common as the greatest of Demeter's festivals, the Thesmophoria: it was a sequel to it, coming later in the autumn season.

  • Women and Sacred Property: the Evidence from Greek Inscriptions
    Women and Sacred Property: The Evidence from Greek Inscriptions Diane Harris-Cline Any citizen… shall have the right to dispose of his property however he wishes if he has no legitimate male offspring, unless he is not of sound mind as a result of one of these things: madness, old age, drugs, disease, the influence of a woman, or unless he is constrained by bonds. - Demosthenes 46.14. It is widely recognized that ancient Greek women were not generally included in the public sphere, especially in classical Athens, the source of so much of our evidence. The one striking exception is the realm of the sacred, where women could appear in public, hold positions of high dignity, and participate as principals in rituals and ceremonies. As Roger Just has said, “The participation of mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters of Athenian citizens was vital to the religious life of the city. They took part in the rites and cults of individual households (oikoi), of the various divisions of the state – the demes, phratries, tribes, and gene – and of the polis itself” (Just 1989: 23). When women donated gifts to temples or contributed to public funds for building temples, it was possible that their names would be inscribed on stone and remembered for all time. My question here whether women truly owned the objects they dedicated, either those used in daily life or those obtained specifically for giving to the gods. Women came to marriage with their dowry and inherited property but all these assets belonged to and were managed by males.
