Intr oduction . �ote, see belo� Some twenty-five poems, known as the Vergilia.n Appendix, and attributed by the an cien ts to the youth­ ful Vergil, have c ome down to us in inferior manuscripts, . but not in the great Vergilian codices . Among the best known of the se poems are. three short epios, the .Culex, the Aetna and the Ciris. For centuries sc hol­ ars have been agreed that all the poems of the .Appen­ d� are spurious, with the possible excep tion of one or two very short pieces which are contained in the Cat­ alepton and which purp ort to give certain personal detail�. [ote. The presen t s'tudy has heen prepared in cooper- . ation with Professor R. s. Radf ord, o� the Univerai�y of T ennes see, who baa generously place d at�my disposal his own large acquaintance with. Ovid and the Vergil­ and Tibullan .Appendices, and has made many valu ian ­ a'ble·au.ggeations both with respect to the literature of the subject and to the most effective methode of treatment. The conclusions to whi.ah the present study of the Ciris has led me are in full accord with the views which he has maintained respecting. �e Ovidian authorship of the whole Vergilian APPend� 1 -2- .. It is usually held , however, ·that all :or ne a�ly' _all the po ems in question belong to the ·very best per�od: of Roman poetry, the Age of Augus tus . In the present study I wish to examine the lan ­ guag e of the'Ciris, .o r story of Soylla and· Nisus, an ep;yll ion written in the manner of Catullus and of the Greek poets of Al exandr�. More a�tiol ea have probably been writ ten upon. the Ciris than up on most books of the Aeneid , and it. seems quite unnecessary t o enumerate al l thes e sepa ­ rate discussions here. Three studies , however , of remark abl e excellenc e cann ot be lightly passed ov er. The fi rst is the discussion by Sillig in his EPilll§trum., N ot e . �ote � In th e Hayne-Wagner edition of Vergil , Vol . IV,pp.l37-157 , Leipzig, 1832 . Ganze�ull er, Fleoke ia. Jahrb . Suppl• .XX,p.555, well says: "Ueberh&upt bat sei t Silligs. AusflihrllDgen wohl niems.nd. IJ;lehr im Ernst an Vergil ged�oht :3 in wh ich th is crit ic in- vestigates the authorship of the C iria at gr eat length and sh ows b;y many concl usive proofs that the po em ca . More than nnot possibl y be th� w ork of Vergil s�ty years after Sill ig, thedis tinguished Ovidian scholar, Gan�enmull er, published his masterly study of the Ciris , No�e. (!ot e . "Beitr&ge zur Ciris" , Fl eok­ eis . Jahrb . Supplementbd. XX 553-65�7) - an elabor�t e and comprehens ive work, in which he tr eats almost every -3- phase of the subJect with a completeness which often approache s finality. Thus he discusses the ·biograph­ ical details of the poem with great acumen , and in order to exhibit ful ly th e tnnume rable borrowings which the poem conta ins fr om Catullus, Vergil and Luoretiua, he assembles all ---or nearl� all--- the phrases an d wo rd-combinations which are drawn from these poe ts. He does not stop her e, howeve r, but he finds that a four�eat poet is eve rywhere l �i tat ed, namely Ovid, and he oolleo ts very many of th e almost innumerable 'imitations' of Ovid which are c ontained in the Ciris. The full argument of the · eminent Ovidian scholar may be stated in a somewhat abbreviated form as follow s: "Since Teuffel th e view has be en almost univer sally ac cepted that the Measalla to wh om the poem is addressed (v . 36) is Messalinus, th e son of the famous orator, an d that the poem itself was composed 18-16 B.C. The supposition is therefore na tural tbat our poe t has not known and baa not used Ovid. I hope, however, to be able to show that ·this was by no means the case ..· .. Sinoe oe:rtain phrases and verse-closes have become the common property of the Roman poe ts, the power of proof belongs ex clusively to th ose expressions whioh are found only in the Ciria and in Ovid and then pe rhaps in late r write rs also (pp. 557 f.) .•.•. Numerous half-vers es, verse-be gin- -4- nings a�d verse-cl oses as well as other expressions and word combinations give the Ciris an unmistake'le: Ovid ian col oring. The frequency of thes e ooinoiden­ ces and the fact that they occur in all the works of Ovid alike---the earl iest as well as the lates t--- show cl early that Ovid is not hims elf the imit at or ••. •.• Rather is it obvious that the author of the Oiris , this superlat iv e plagiarist, has known the whole of Ovid , and while he has allowed himself an open, un­ conc eal ed borrowing from Vergil , he has resorted to a more hidden and shamefaced imitat ion of Ovid , as though the expressions and phrases which he had read in the latter , bad cl ung to his memory and had repro­ duc ed themselves involuntarily and in spit e of him­ self, since he was unable to resist the magic of the Ovid ian po etry and its pot ent influence ( pp . 622 f. ) ". Note. (!ate. "Nu)1lat er den Ovid im Vergleich zu Vergil mehr verateckt, veracbimt naohgeahmt, oft wahl auoh unbewusst." - It should be added that, in his view of th e close relati on between Ovid and the Ciria, Ganzenmull er had been preceded in large p art by another thoroughly comp et ent Ovidian critic , A. Zingerl e (Kl. philol . Abh. III, Innsbruok 1882, pp . 24-30), who gave many striking examples of the dependence of one poet up on the other. If therefore Draahmann (Her­ mes LXIII 425) expressly deola.rel.J that "all att empts -5- to show the knowledg e of the po em in other poets than Vergil are failures" , this is but anot h e r proof of his wh olly inadequate preparation for this fi eld of res earch (v. below, p • •••}. For where Ovidian study is c oncerned , a Draohmann or even a Sudhaus (of. ·Herme s XLII 476 , n. 1} sh ould not match him self too c o nfid ently aga inst a Zinge rle and a Ganzenm1fll er: au �or B! ultra crepidamt--- On the r emarkable simi­ larity (first noted by Sillig) between the two nurse­ s cenes in the Ciri.s and in Ovid's story of Jlyr rha (Met. X 382 ff .), see Sudhaus, Hermes XLII (1907), p. 49� •• Gan!enmu ller has assembl ed --- so far as one�can judge--- abo ut eighty-five strik ing phr�ees and col­ locations ( incl ud ing a few ex ceptio nal or unusual single words) , wh ich are common only to Ovid and the Cirie.

Romans are generally listed under their nomen, except for a few (e.g. Cicero, the emperor Tiberius) much better known by another name. Many toponyms in the Geography appear in a number of variants. Often these are significant and represent the history of the name or its form in different languages, but in other cases they may simply indicate differences between Strabo’s sources or even errors. Nevertheless, in the interest of thoroughness and clarity, many variants appear in this index. Moreover, it is not always possible to determine whether repeated mentions of the same toponym in the same region are identical or different places.

LONDON : WILLIAM HKINEMANN NEW YORK : THE MACMILLAN CO. MCMXIV CONTENTS PAGE THE HEROIDES 1 THE A MORES S13 INDEX 509 I THE HEROIDES OVID'S LIFE Publius Ovidius Naso was born at Sulmo, a city about ninety miles south-east of Rome, in the country of the Paeligni, on March 20, 43 B.C., the year of the second triumvirate, composed of Augustus, Antony, and Lepidus, and the year of the proscription and death of the Ciceros. His family had been of equestrian rank for several generations. Ovid's education was begun at Sulmo, and com- pleted at Rome and Athens. In deference to his father's wishes, he pursued, with his brother, the rhetorical studies usual with the ambitious young men of the time, expecting to enter upon a public career ; but so fervent was his passion for literature, and so irresistible his instinct for literary art—he himself says that whatever he attempted to write took the form of verse—that he found it impossible to follow the profession of his father's preference.

During that seminar, I was allowed to explore the brilliance of the Metamorphoses as well as to foster a love for all of the works of Ovid. In regards to speech loss in particular, I was fortunate enough to be encouraged to present a small project on the reception of the topic of speech loss in the Metamorphosis of Franz Kafka. Therefore, I first must thank Karl for introducing me to the Ovidian corpus and for his encouragement and expertise in the field. There are also many other individuals whom I should thank for their insights and efforts. I thank Alessandro Barchiesi, first, for his guidance in framing my argument and for his help during the infantile stages of this paper. Next, I thank Laurel Fulkerson, Rabun Taylor, L.

  • The Chora Formation of the Greek Cities of Aegean Thrace. Towards a Chronological Approach to the Colonization Process
    The Chora Formation of the Greek Cities of Aegean Thrace. Towards a Chronological Approach to the Colonization Process Alexandre Baralis The notion of chora within the Greek colonial world still constitutes a difficult reality to agree upon, as regards the organisation of its space, the chronology of its formation or even its borders themselves. Defined as the territory imme- diately surrounding a city, the chora remains, according to most of the studies devoted to it, a space which the city is supposed to have dominated politically and economically, to have used for its necropolis and to have cultivated for its agricultural needs from the city’s foundation onwards or shortly thereaf- ter. A place of exchange or conflict, and sometimes of cohabitation, the chora raises the question of the relationship between cities traditionally considered to be of essentially Greek population and their immediate native hinterland. Answering this question is often done by drawing on models developed for Magna Graecia and a few examples from written sources. This paper attempts a survey of the situation in Aegean Thrace, a recent area of archaeological research and still poorly known by scholars. In this region of the Greek colonial world it is possible to approach the formation process of the city territory in a chronological way which allows a fruitful reconsideration of the complex relationship between the Greek settlers and the local populations.1 Greek colonization in context: Aegean Thrace before the arrival of the first Greek settlers The term “Aegean Thrace,” common nowadays in historical bibliographies, is a recent geographical notion. It is applied to an area strongly disputed at the beginning of the 20th century, which lies now entirely within the limits of the administrative district of western Thrace in northern Greece.

  • The Love of the Nightingale by Timberlake Wertenbaker
    The Love of the Nightingale by Timberlake Wertenbaker Audition Date: Wednesday, September 11th, 6:45pm To Prepare: 1) Read the Play 2) Read this packet 3) Prepare a one-minute monologue accordingly. 1 This Packet. This audition packet is meant to provide actors with some preliminary information about the play as they prepare for their audition. It is intended as a supplement to reading Timberlake Wetenbaker’s script in its entirety, not a replacement. In other words: Read the play in its entirety. An attachment for the full script PDF is in the same email that contained this packet. Make sure to read through the different character breakdowns and give careful consideration as to what sort of monologue might showcase your ability to embody one of them. Do you relate to the early playfulness of Philomele? Her later defiance? Do you respond to the Niobe’s jaded resignation that there is terrible injustice in the world? What sort of monologue might communicate Tereus’s entitlement? What of Procne’s feelings of isolation when she goes to live in a foreign environment with an unfamiliar husband? Perhaps you enjoy the poetic commentary of the chorus. There are many ways to go, but consider the tone of the play and the emotional requirements of the characters. The Plot and its Sources. Let’s not mince words, Philomele is a horrifying myth; so horrifying that we need to ask ourselves why we would continue to tell it thousands of year since Sophocles presented a play based on it at the festival Dionsyia in the 5th century B.C.E.

  • Interpretations of Greek Mythology (Routledge Revivals)
    Routledge Revivals Interpretations of Greek Mythology Interpretations of Greek Mythology, first published in1987, builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the ‘Paris school’ of Jean-Pierre Vernant, and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythol­ ogy. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths, all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically, the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected, with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history, ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes — Oedipus, Orpheus, Narcissus — reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology, and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth.
