Studies on the Iconography of Divine and Heroic STUDIES ON THE ICONOGRAPHY OF DIVINE AND HEROIC CHILDREN IN ATTIC RED-FIGURE VASE-PAINTING OF THE FIFTH CENTURY BC (Volume One) THESIS SUBMITTED P02 THE DEGREE OP PhD by LESLEY ANNE BEAUMONT Ff3 University College London (ION DL) P02 MUM 4. A)STR ACT The thesis is an examination of the iconography of children in Attic red-figure vase-painting, concentrat.ng mainly on the representation of mythological children, but considering also the applications of the study to red-figure scenes of everyday life. The aims are two-fold: firstly to analyse iconographiq types employed for the depiction of children by vase-painters, and secondly to use such a study to establish a foundation for the objective analysis of age representation of children in vase-painting. The catalogue of vases comprises one hundred and ninety six entries. Discussion of this material is split into two sections; one dealing with the birth and childhood of the gods, and the other with that of the heroes. The first section is divided into two chapters, one on the most commonly represented infant god, Dionysos, and a second devoted to the remainder of the gods who appear as children. The second section comprises a chapter each on Attic and non-Attic heroes, and a further chapter considers representations of mythological female children. The thesis concludes that divine and heroic children are represented o vases throughout the red-figure period, finding their phase of greatest popularity between about 490-40 BC. It iS shown that most of the iconographic types employed for children are interchangeable for a variety of mythological, and often also mortal, offspring. Whilst the representation of infants and young children becomes increasingly naturalistic as the fifth century progresses, lack of an iconographic type (or types) for older children and adolescents is probably a reflection of the liminal status of the adolescent youth in fifth century Athenian society. Furthermore, the inferior status of women and children in that society illuminates the almost total absence of infant goddesses and heroines in red-figure, since a female child would probably have seemed too undignified a figure to be anything but mortal.

  • Catullus, Archilochus and the 'Motto'. Two Poems of Catullus Have Long Been Compared with Fragments of Ar- Chilochus
    I TWO CATULLIAN QUESTIONS L Catullus, Archilochus and the 'motto'. Two poems of Catullus have long been compared with fragments of Ar- chilochus. First, Catullus 40 and Archilochus 172 West (fully discussed by Hendrickson "CP" 20, 1925, 155); qwenan te mala mew, miselle Ravide, agit praccípítem in rrcos iambos ? quid dcus rtbi nonbene ad.vocatus ve cordcm parat excímre rimn? an uî penenias ín oravulgi? quidvis? qunlubet esse natus oPns? eris, quando quidcm mcos cttnores cwn longavoluisti amare poena. n&rep Auróppa, noîov Érppóoco tó6e tíg oùg rccr,p{epe epwctg fig cò rpìv ;1pfipqoOa; vOv òè 6l rol.ùq úocoîot gcwérrt fflog.

Moreover, as Hendrickson remarks, Lucian's (Pseudol. 1) paraphrase of the context of 223, which he says was addressed to one of toò6 repureteîg é,oopévoog (cf. praecípítem) rfi 1ol.fr t6v iópporv crúto0 who had re- viled the poet, seems to indicate that it went with 172; ín that case Lucian's 6 rcróòatpov &v0prone=míselle, and aiticq (qtoOvtc rai ùro0é- oeqtoî6 iúpporq will help to explain Catullus' application of iantbi to hen- decasyllables (though it does not need much explanation; cf. 54.6 and fr. 3). If Catullus had Archilochus in mind, he diverged from him in the last two lines, which envisage a situaúon quite different from that between Archilo- chus and Lycambes; the poem of Archilochus seems to have continued at considerable length and included the fable of the fox and the eagle (172- 181).

  • From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale**
    International Journal of Cultural Property (2006) 13:311–331. Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2006 International Cultural Property Society DOI: 10.1017/S0940739106060206 From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale** Abstract: The return of 13 classical antiquities from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to Italy provides a glimpse into a major museum’s acquisition patterns from 1971 to 1999. Evidence emerging during the trial of Marion True and Robert E. Hecht Jr. in Rome is allowing the Italian authorities to identify antiquities that have been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit digging. Key dealers and galleries are identified, and with them other objects that have followed the same route. The fabrication of old collections to hide the recent surfacing of antiquities is also explored. In October 2006 the MFA agreed to return to Italy a series of 13 antiquities (Ap- pendix). These included Attic, Apulian, and Lucanian pottery as well as a Roman portrait of Sabina and a Roman relief fragment.1 This return is forming a pattern as other museums in North America are invited to deaccession antiquities that are claimed to have been illegally removed from Italy. The evidence that the pieces were acquired in a less than transparent way is beginning to emerge. For example, a Polaroid photograph of the portrait of Sabina (Appendix no. 1) was seized in the raid on the warehousing facility of Giacomo Medici in the Geneva Freeport.2 Polaroids of two Apulian pots, an amphora (no. 9) and a loutrophoros (no. 11), were also seized.3 As other photographic and documentary evidence emerges dur- ing the ongoing legal case against Marion True and Robert E.

    ATTIC BLACK FIGURE FROM SAMOTHRACE (PLATES 51-56) 1 RAGMENTS of two large black-figure column-kraters,potted and painted about j1t the middle of the sixth century, have been recovered during recent excavations at Samothrace.' Most of these fragments come from an earth fill used for the terrace east of the Stoa.2 Non-joining fragments found in the area of the Arsinoeion in 1939 and in 1949 belong to one of these vessels.3 A few fragments of each krater show traces of burning, for either the clay is gray throughout or the glaze has cracked because of intense heat.

  • 15 Robertson 1502
    MARTIN ROBERTSON Charles Martin Robertson 1911–2004 MARTIN ROBERTSON was born in Pangbourne on 11 September 1911, the first child of Donald Robertson, who had been appointed that year to an Assistant Lectureship in Classics at Trinity College, Cambridge, and Petica (née Coursolles Jones). The family, including his brother Giles who was born in 1913, lived in Huntingdon Road in Cambridge, moving after the First World War to Bateman Street overlooking the Botanic Gardens. Although Donald wanted his sons to follow him at Westminster School, Petica, a strong personality who ran a salon for the literary and artistic personalities of the day, wished them to stay at home, and, after a time at a prep school, they attended The Leys School in Cambridge. Martin (he was always ‘Martin’, never ‘Charles’, to his parents and his children) learned to read early and is reputed to have read from the newspaper, when four years old, to the noted Cambridge mathematician G. H. Hardy. His love of literature was deep and abiding, but he was not a practical boy nor good at physical pursuits. His father loved riding and arranged for Martin to have riding lessons; Martin did not like the instructor and the lessons were not a success. He found his father rather oppressive and felt that he was an inferior reproduction of him. Whether he would have fared better at the piano is unknown, as Petica decided that Giles was the musi- cal one and denied Martin the chance. He never learned to drive but enjoyed cycling (in his late sixties, on retirement from his Oxford chair and moving house to Cambridge, he cycled all the way from the one to the other).

  • Slaves, Sex, and Transgression in Greek Old Comedy
    Slaves, Sex, and Transgression in Greek Old Comedy By Daniel Christopher Walin A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Mark Griffith, Chair Professor Donald J. Mastronarde Professor Kathleen McCarthy Professor Emily Mackil Spring 2012 1 Abstract Slaves, Sex, and Transgression in Greek Old Comedy by Daniel Christopher Walin Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Berkeley Professor Mark Griffith, Chair This dissertation examines the often surprising role of the slave characters of Greek Old Comedy in sexual humor, building on work I began in my 2009 Classical Quarterly article ("An Aristophanic Slave: Peace 819–1126"). The slave characters of New and Roman comedy have long been the subject of productive scholarly interest; slave characters in Old Comedy, by contrast, have received relatively little attention (the sole extensive study being Stefanis 1980). Yet a closer look at the ancestors of the later, more familiar comic slaves offers new perspectives on Greek attitudes toward sex and social status, as well as what an Athenian audience expected from and enjoyed in Old Comedy. Moreover, my arguments about how to read several passages involving slave characters, if accepted, will have larger implications for our interpretation of individual plays. The first chapter sets the stage for the discussion of "sexually presumptive" slave characters by treating the idea of sexual relations between slaves and free women in Greek literature generally and Old Comedy in particular. I first examine the various (non-comic) treatments of this theme in Greek historiography, then its exploitation for comic effect in the fifth mimiamb of Herodas and in Machon's Chreiai.

Smith ‘Much that we might imagine as ideal was natural for them [the ancient Greeks].’1 ♣ Just as Johann Joachim Winckelmann mourned the loss of antiquity, so have subsequent generations mourned his passing at the age of fifty, in 1768, as he was planning his first journey to Greece. His deification through — not least — the placement of his profile head, as if carved out of a gemstone, on the title page of the first volume of his Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums (‘History of Ancient Art’) in 1776 (the second edition, published posthumously) made him the poster boy for the study of classical art history and its related branches, Altertumswissenschaft or classical studies, history of art, and classical 2 archaeology.
