Homeric Time Travel In a recent pair of articles I argued that the Odyssey presents itself as the heroic analogue to, or even substitute for, fertility myth.1 The return of Odysseus thus heralds the return of prosperity to his kingdom in a manner functionally equivalent to the return of Persephone, and with her of life, to earth in springtime. The first paper focused on a detailed comparison of the plots of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the Odyssey;2 and the second on the relationship between Persephone’s withdrawal and return and the narrative device of ring-composition.3 In my analysis of ring-composition, I concluded that what began as a cognitive and functional pattern, organizing small-scale narrative structures, evolved into an aesthetic pattern, organizing large blocks of narrative, before finally becoming an ideological pattern, connecting the hero’s return to the promise of renewal offered by fertility myth and cult.

  • Wandering Poets and the Dissemination of Greek Tragedy in the Fifth
    Wandering Poets and the Dissemination of Greek Tragedy in the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BC Edmund Stewart Abstract This work is the first full-length study of the dissemination of Greek tragedy in the earliest period of the history of drama. In recent years, especially with the growth of reception studies, scholars have become increasingly interested in studying drama outside its fifth century Athenian performance context. As a result, it has become all the more important to establish both when and how tragedy first became popular across the Greek world. This study aims to provide detailed answers to these questions. In doing so, the thesis challenges the prevailing assumption that tragedy was, in its origins, an exclusively Athenian cultural product, and that its ‘export’ outside Attica only occurred at a later period. Instead, I argue that the dissemination of tragedy took place simultaneously with its development and growth at Athens. We will see, through an examination of both the material and literary evidence, that non-Athenian Greeks were aware of the works of Athenian tragedians from at least the first half of the fifth century. In order to explain how this came about, I suggest that tragic playwrights should be seen in the context of the ancient tradition of wandering poets, and that travel was a usual and even necessary part of a poet’s work. I consider the evidence for the travels of Athenian and non-Athenian poets, as well as actors, and examine their motives for travelling and their activities on the road. In doing so, I attempt to reconstruct, as far as possible, the circuit of festivals and patrons, on which both tragedians and other poetic professionals moved.

  • 800 BC the ILIAD Homer Translated by Samuel Butler
    800 BC THE ILIAD Homer translated by Samuel Butler Homer (~800 BC) - An Ionian Poet. Historians cannot agree where Homer was born, whether he was blind, whether he wrote both the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey”, or even if he actually existed. Whatever the case may be, the influence of the two enduring epics attributed to him is indisputable. The Iliad (800 BC) - An epic poem consisting of twenty-four books that deal with the last few days of the Trojan War. Here translated into prose by Samuel Butler. Table Of Contents BOOK I . 3 BOOK II . 12 BOOK III . 25 BOOK IV . 32 BOOK V . 40 BOOK VI . 53 BOOK VII . 61 BOOK VIII . 68 BOOK IX . 76 BOOK X . 87 BOOK XI . 96 BOOK XII . 109 BOOK XIII . 116 BOOK XIV . 129 BOOK XV . 137 BOOK XVI . 148 BOOK XVII . 162 BOOK XVIII . 173 BOOK XIX . 182 BOOK XX . 188 BOOK XXI . 196 BOOK XXII . 205 BOOK XXIII . 213 BOOK XXIV . 227 THE END . 238 BOOK I Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest.

For the facts of his life we are dependent wholly upon the fragmentary information that he scattered casually throughout his writings. From these we learn that he was born in the small Boeotian town of Chaeroneia in Greece, between 46 and 51 A. D., of a family of good standing and long residence there; that he married a certain Timoxena, to whom he wrote a tender letter of consolation on the death of their daughter; and that he had four sons, to two of whom he dedicated one of his philosophical treatises. He began the study of philosophy at Athens, travelled to Alexandria and in various parts of Italy, and sojourned for a considerable period in Rome; but he seems to have continued to regard Chaeroneia as his home, and here he did a large part of his writing and took his share in public service.

Though set in a Bronze Age world over three millennia ago, the theme it explores – the price we pay for love and hate alike – resonates through time, for the conflicting obligations of power, honour, desire, duty, and family, are universal to the human experience. There is no stark definition of black and white in the struggle over Helen of Troy. Every character has plausible motivations. It is impossible not to sympathise with, and at the same time be critical of, all the players involved. That is the way of things; no-one is ever absolutely right or wrong.

  • Apodexis Historia
    0 Apodexis Historia An Aggregate Primary Source Account of Greek History Edited by E. Edward Garvin, 2013 The purpose of a sourcebook is to allow the subjects to speak their own history and to allow the student, the reader, to gain an understanding of Greek literary works through a selective sampling. The key word is ‘selective.’ Contained herein are passages excerpted from their contexts. Without exception, this very process produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts contained in frames and in Goudy Old Style font are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. These translations were published as print books but have since fallen into Public Domain - which means that the copyright has expired. As editor of this volume, I have copied, edited and partially retranslated these texts to bring the translations up to date. The title of this collection is adapted from the opening line of Herodotus' Histories: "The results of the research (histories) of Herodotus of Halicarnassus are herein presented for public display (apodexis)." The Greek apodexis means a 'display' or 'public presentation': The word historia, when Herodotus used it, referred to a process of rational pragmatic inquiry.
