McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2014) Hamilton, Ontario (Classics) TITLE: Understanding the 'Other' in an East Greek Context AUTHOR: Jonathon Douglas Christopher McCallum, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Sean Corner NUMBER OF PAGES: (vi) (129) ii M.A. Thesis – J. D. C. McCallum; McMaster University – Classics. ABSTRACT This thesis looks to re-evaluate the East Greek intellectual view of non-Greeks in the middle to late fifth century. To do this I examine how ethnic difference is understood in the Hippocratic treatise Airs, Waters, Places (as well as the rest of the fifth-century Hippocratic corpus) and Herodotus' Histories, which together represent the new ethnographic thought of the fifth century. I will argue that neither author understood there to be any essential difference between Greeks and non-Greeks, nor represented non- Greeks as anti-Greeks, as many scholars today hold. Furthermore, I will argue that the idea of a Greek/barbarian dichotomy was to a considerable extent a construction of Athenian ideology, which stood in contrast to an East Greek cosmopolitanism that understood ethnic difference not in terms of differences in nature but of cultural variation within a common human condition. iii M.A. Thesis – J.

D. C. McCallum; McMaster University – Classics. Introduction It has become something of an orthodoxy that after the Persian Wars there was a stark change in how Greeks viewed non-Greeks and concomitantly in how the Greeks defined themselves. There arose, so it is claimed, a new Greek identity based on a simple dichotomy of Greek vs barbarian. Thus, in her influential 1989 book, Inventing the Barbarian, Edith Hall argues that whereas before the Persian Wars, Greek culture placed little emphasis on the difference between the Greeks and the peoples of the Near East, after the wars we witness a new strain in Greek thought in which Greekness is defined in stark contradistinction to the Eastern barbarian. Thus, for example, Homer's Trojans in the Iliad are not essentially different in nature than the Greeks, in contrast to Aeschylus' Persians, who are represented as the national enemy and antithesis of the Greeks. Similarly, in The Mirror of Herodotus – this bipolarity lending itself to structuralist approaches – François Hartog argues that Herodotus' ethnographies approach foreign cultures according to an ethnocentric standard that assumes Greekness as normative. For example, Egyptian culture is understood in terms of inversions of Greek norms, and Scythian funerary practices are seen as primitive for lacking features found in Greek funerals, which are taken as a normative standard. While there surely is an element of this dichotomy in Greek thought, there has been a push in recent years for a more nuanced evaluation of the Greeks' view of themselves and the other. Thus, for example, in Rethinking the Other in Antiquity, Erich 1 M.A. Thesis – J. D. C. McCallum; McMaster University – Classics. Gruen argues that the Greeks rather than always insisting on the distinctiveness of the other, were also concerned with links to, adaptation to, and even incorporation of the alien . For example, Herodotus' depiction of the Persians, who are the enemy of the Greeks in the main narrative of the History, is multi-layered and subtle, advancing a portrait of entanglement rather than enmity. Gruen argues that these subtle characterizations, rather than simplistic stereotypes, resist the reductive placement of the other into negative, or, for that matter, positive categories. Jonathan Hall's study of Greek notions of ethnicity significantly complicates the very terms in which the question can be addressed. Hall, in Ethnic Identity in Greek Antiquity and Hellenicity, argues first that in the case of Greek identity, it is important to distinguish between ethnic and cultural identities. That is to say, where Greeks ethnically identified as Dorian, Ionian, Achaean, or Aeolian, Greekness itself was conceived not in terms of common descent, but of certain common cultural traits. Hall argues that before the Persian Wars peer-polity rivalry between Greek poleis – rather than conflicts and comparisons with non-Greeks at margins of the Greek world – was the major condition for the emergence of a common Greek cultural identity. While he does accept that the Persian Wars were a watershed moment in the shaping of the common Greek identity, he argues that the ethnonym Hellene remained primarily a cultural distinction rather than an ethnic one. He argues that the notion of a diametric opposition of Greek and barbarian is too crude, as it does not allow for the crossover, multiplicity, and blurring of categories noted by himself and Gruen. In its place, he is 2 M.A. Thesis – J. D. C. McCallum; McMaster University – Classics. able to elucidate the richer and more complex set of terms by which the Greeks conceived of themselves and others. Building on this, I will in my thesis re-evaluate the view of non-Greeks in fifth century Greek prose writing, specifically investigating the Hippocratic and Herodotean views of the other. Together the Hippocratic treatise Airs, Waters, Places and Herodotus' Histories represent the new ethnographic thought of the fifth century. While Herodotean ethnography has been the subject of much attention and discussion,

HERODOTUS TODAY 1.1 In a review article called 'A Triumph for Herodotus', Peter Green largely attributes the resurgence of Herodotean studies over the last forty years or so to our emancipation from the narrower model of historiography inspired by Thucydides. 1 We have been gradually liberated to experience the pleasure of Herodotus' text, and among the general educated public the Histories have increasingly been treated as a big book we carry around in our heads, keep on our table , refer to, study, and above all enjoy. Indeed, it is not unlikely for journalists and travelling intellectuals nowadays to pack a copy of the Histories in their bags.2 1.2 Herodotus' work is a history of the interactions between the Greek city­ states and their powerful Near Eastern neighbours that culminated in the Persian invasions of Greece in 490 and 480 BCE . It goes as far back as possible to explore the causes of this conflict, and it traces the rise of the Persians to be masters of a large multi-ethnic empire that conquered, or 1 Green (2003).

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.

    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).

Introduction and summary of the argument Beckett's verbal duel is reminiscent of Aristophanic routines between two characters in which the name of the game seems to be to cap the boast, threat or insult hurled by the opposing character. Several recent studies have pointed to the importance of capping to the character and meaning of Aristophanic comedy. Ian Ruffell shows that verbal routines in which a joke is elaborated and capped by another are integral to Aristophanes' comic mode.2 He has also argued that Old Comedy is partly constituted through a generic requirement that each play deploy an intertextual rhetoric of innovation in which the playwright parades the way in which he has ingeniously capped the plots, routines and conceits of a rival's previous offering.3 Derek Collins has demon- strated that some of the social and stylistic dynamics of Aristophanic stichomythic and antilabic capping routines have been misunderstood due to a lack of awareness that 1 I would like to thank the two anonymous readers for CCJ and Tim Whitmarsh for very helpful criticisms and suggestions.
