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.

  • Greek Mythology
    Greek Mythology The Creation Myth “First Chaos came into being, next wide bosomed Gaea(Earth), Tartarus and Eros (Love). From Chaos came forth Erebus and black Night. Of Night were born Aether and Day (whom she brought forth after intercourse with Erebus), and Doom, Fate, Death, sleep, Dreams; also, though she lay with none, the Hesperides and Blame and Woe and the Fates, and Nemesis to afflict mortal men, and Deceit, Friendship, Age and Strife, which also had gloomy offspring.”[11] “And Earth first bore starry Heaven (Uranus), equal to herself to cover her on every side and to be an ever-sure abiding place for the blessed gods. And earth brought forth, without intercourse of love, the Hills, haunts of the Nymphs and the fruitless sea with his raging swell.”[11] Heaven “gazing down fondly at her (Earth) from the mountains he showered fertile rain upon her secret clefts, and she bore grass flowers, and trees, with the beasts and birds proper to each. This same rain made the rivers flow and filled the hollow places with the water, so that lakes and seas came into being.”[12] The Titans and the Giants “Her (Earth) first children (with heaven) of Semi-human form were the hundred-handed giants Briareus, Gyges, and Cottus. Next appeared the three wild, one-eyed Cyclopes, builders of gigantic walls and master-smiths…..Their names were Brontes, Steropes, and Arges.”[12] Next came the “Titans: Oceanus, Hypenon, Iapetus, Themis, Memory (Mnemosyne), Phoebe also Tethys, and Cronus the wily—youngest and most terrible of her children.”[11] “Cronus hated his lusty sire Heaven (Uranus).

  • The Voyage of the Argo and Other Modes of Travel in Apollonius’ Argonautica
    THE VOYAGE OF THE ARGO AND OTHER MODES OF TRAVEL IN APOLLONIUS’ ARGONAUTICA Brian D. McPhee A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Classics. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: William H. Race James J. O’Hara Emily Baragwanath © 2016 Brian D. McPhee ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Brian D. McPhee: The Voyage of the Argo and Other Modes of Travel in Apollonius’ Argonautica (Under the direction of William H. Race) This thesis analyzes the Argo as a vehicle for travel in Apollonius’ Argonautica: its relative strengths and weaknesses and ultimately its function as the poem’s central mythic paradigm. To establish the context for this assessment, the first section surveys other forms of travel in the poem, arranged in a hierarchy of travel proficiency ranging from divine to heroic to ordinary human mobility. The second section then examines the capabilities of the Argo and its crew in depth, concluding that the ship is situated on the edge between heroic and human travel. The third section confirms this finding by considering passages that implicitly compare the Argo with other modes of travel through juxtaposition. The conclusion follows cues from the narrator in proposing to read the Argo as a mythic paradigm for specifically human travel that functions as a metaphor for a universal and timeless human condition. iii parentibus meis “Finis origine pendet.” iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my director and mentor, William Race.

    EDITH HALL WHEN DID THE TROJANS TURN INTO PHRYGIANS? ALCAEUS 42.15 aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 73 (1988) 15–18 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 15 WHEN DID THE TROJANS TURN INTO PHRYGIANS? ALCAEUS 42.15 The Greek tragedians reformulated the myths inherited from the epic cycle in the light of the distinctively 5th-century antithesis between Hellene and barbarian. But in the case of the Trojans the most significant step in the process of their "barbarisation" was their acquisition of a new name, "Phryg- ians".1) In the Iliad, of course, the Phrygians are important allies of Troy, but geographically and politically distinct from them (B 862-3, G 184-90, K 431, P 719). The force of the distinction is made even plainer by the composer of the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, which may date from as early as the 7th century,2) where the poet introduces as an example of the goddess's power the story of her seduction of Anchises. She came to him in his Trojan home, pre- tending to be a mortal, daugter of famous Otreus, the ruler of all Phrygia (111-112). But then she immediately explained why they could converse with- out any problem (113-116); I know both your language and my own well, for a Trojan nurse brought me up in my palace: she took me from my dear mother and reared me when I was a little child. And that is why I also know your language well. So the Trojans and Phrygians are quite distinct, politically, geographically, and linguistically.

In order that she may spread her bounty as far as possible, we have decided to relocate her to the worldwide web. This new medium will allow us to post articles with greater frequency and, in so doing, increase dialogue among undergraduate classical scholars at universities and colleges across the globe. We have selected articles that we feel reflect the tremendous breadth of our colleagues’ research. These articles address topics that range from Platonic philosophy, to medieval law codes, to verse translations and beyond. The swathe of institutions from which we have solicited articles is likewise diverse; our contributing authors attend schools all over the world, including the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Pennsylvania, Haverford College and Brown University.

  • Lecture 23 Okay on Monday You Talked About What It Takes to Make a Hero, Versus Hughes’S Herometer
    Lecture 23 Okay on Monday you talked about what it takes to make a hero, versus Hughes’s Herometer. How did that go? Do you have a pretty good idea of what a hero is in general? Or did he talk specifically about a Greek hero? Just in general. So you know some things that are going to happen in the Heracles myth, even before we start, right? Okay, we’ll start with his name, which means what? Ankle? No, you’re thinking maybe of Oedipus on that one. The material I am lecturing to you is taken from pages 420-448 in your book. We’ll go through the material as it’s presented, basically, through the book if you want to take a look there. His name means something to do with Hera. Pain of Hera? Close. It is the glory of Hera, believe it or not. So the person or the divinity that gives him the most trouble in his life and causes him to do some very horrible things, turns out to be his patron, of sorts. What he does glorifies her, according to the name, anyhow. Now, when you have a hero, they don’t just spring from anywhere or nowhere. They generally have something in their background to indicate they’re going to do something glorious. So let’s take a look at Heracles’ heritage. Where does he ultimately come from? Who is in his background that’s illustrious? Yeah, Zeus himself is the father. If you look at the chart on Heracles’ heritage you’ll be able to see this a bit better.

Introducere în Mitologie Mitologia este un ansamblu relativ coerent de mituri, întâmplări care descriu o anumită religie sau un sistem de valori. Cuvântul "mitologie" provine din limba greacă (μυθολογία), din fuziunea cuvintelor "mythos" ("poveste" sau "legendă") și "logos" ("cuvânt"). În general, miturile sunt opere literare narative tradiționale care au rolul de a explica diferite fenomene ale naturii, originea omului și a animalelor, etc. De obicei, miturile implică prezența unui element sacru, a unor zeități, a unor forțe fabuloase, supraomenești. Miturile se suprapun adeseori cu legendele, diferențele dintre acestea fiind că legendele au un sâmbure de adevăr, în timp ce miturile sunt complet imaginare. Termenul "mitologie" poate include totalitatea miturilor dintr-o cultură sau o religie (de exemplu: mitologie greacă, mitologie egipteană, mitologie nordică) sau o știință care se ocupă cu reconstruirea, studiul și interpretarea miturilor.
