In Roman mythology , the entrance to the Underworld located at Avernus , a crater near Cumae , was the route Aeneas used to descend to the realm of the dead.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    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).

  • Sacred Mushrooms of the Goddess and the Secrets of Eleusis
    In memory of Blaise Daniel Staples, my companion and soul mate. He is dearly missed. PREFACE by Huston Smith WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO PUBLISH Cleansing the Doors of Perception: The Religious Significance of Entheogenic Plants and Chemicals, there were those who advised me not to do so, saying that it would destroy my reputation. Time has proved them wrong. As the religious significance of these substances comes to be increasingly accepted—the glaring exception being the Food and Drug Administration—the sales of that book (favorably reviewed from the beginning) continue to rise. As does my conviction of the importance of the issue, and I will say why. The great achievement of the linguist Noam Chomsky, who was my colleague during the fifteen years I taught at MIT, was to discover the universal grammar that every spoken language–– English, Chinese, French, whatever––must conform to, for it seems to be imprinted into the human brain. I, for my part, have worked out the universal grammar of religion to which authentic religions conform. Reduced to a single sentence, that grammar concludes that Reality is Perfect, and that human beings should do their best to conform their lives to that perfection. Reality’s perfection seems to be contradicted by perception of the world, but this is not surprising, for Reality is Infinite and our minds are not. Out minds must expand if they are to receive even glimpses of the Infinite Perfection. Thus the question is: how can they do this? Perfect Reality has provided a way. Through the entheogens, to be sure, but here we come to a point that has been under-noticed in the discussion of this important subject.

  • I. Il Ploutonion Di Hierapolis Di Frigia
    I. Il Ploutonion di Hierapolis di Frigia I.1 Il Ploutonion di Hierapolis nelle fonti letterarie La valle del Meandro è nota fin dall’antichità per la presenza di aperture nel terreno (stomia) da cui scaturivano emissioni venefiche connesse al mondo degli inferi. Molteplici sono infatti le fonti letterarie che ci riferiscono, in maniera accurata, delle caratteristiche geologiche di questi luoghi, della sacralità e delle pratiche religiose che si svolgevano1. Strabone, intorno alla seconda metà del I sec. d.C., descrive le particolarità dei Χαρώνια presenti in questa regione in cui la natura sismica del sottosuolo e i fenomeni ad essa legati avevano dato luogo ad una serie di accessi verso il mondo sotterraneo (Strab. 12, 8, 17) (Fig. 1). Fig. 1 Carta dell’Asia Minore con indicazione dei principali centri; in rosso le città della valle del Meandro in cui sono attestati dalle fonti letterarie ingressi al mondo degli inferi 1 Le fonti letterarie sul Ploutonion di Hierapolis sono raccolte in RITTI 1985, 7-15. 4 Per il Charonion di Acharaka, vicino Nysa sul Meandro (Strab. 14, 1, 43-44), il rituale sacrificale iniziava con il trasporto del toro che, portato in spalla dai giovani del ginnasio, fino all’ingresso della grotta, trovava la morte per soffocamento provocata dalle esalazioni sprigionate dal sottosuolo; il rito è illustrato nelle immagini monetali della città, probabilmente a indicare una peculiare forma di atto sacrificale2. Lo stesso rituale è attestato per lo sbocco mefitico di Thymbria, nel territorio tra Myus e Magnesia, menzionato ancora dal geografo di Amasya che ricorda la presenza dei vapori esiziali provenienti dalla terra (Strab.

  • The Festival Proerosia Robertson, Noel Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1996; 37, 4; Proquest Pg
    New Light on Demeter's Mysteries: The Festival Proerosia Robertson, Noel Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1996; 37, 4; ProQuest pg. 319 New Light on Demeter's Mysteries: The Festival Proerosia Noel Robertson EMETER'S "MYSTERIES: festivals conducted mainly by women and in sanctuaries that were suitably withdrawn, D were almost universal in Greek cities, like the cereal agri­ culture they were intended to promote. They were integral to Greek society and are now widely and profitably studied as a social phenomenon. If the general custom is important, so are the many ritual actions that constitute a given festival, through which (according to one's point of view) the women either worship the goddess Demeter, or work directly on the earth, or affirm their sense of the fitness of things. Animal sacrifice plays a large part, as usual, the pig species being favored by De­ meter, and there is a peculiar practice of throwing piglets into a pit, which is then closed. It is a disadvantage that reconstructions of ritual must be sought in older handbooks and special studies. The basic work on Greek festivals was done long ago, and new evidence, though not wholly neglected, has not led to any sustained effort of revision. The festival Proerosia, "Before-ploughing (rites)," is such a case. The Athenian, or Eleusinian, version of this festival once seemed to stand alone, as if it were something secondary and contrived, without much bearing on the larger pattern of Demeter's worship. We can now see that the Proerosia was widespread. It may have been as common as the greatest of Demeter's festivals, the Thesmophoria: it was a sequel to it, coming later in the autumn season.

  • The Phrearrhian Lexsacra an Interpretation
    THE PHREARRHIAN LEXSACRA AN INTERPRETATION MNHMEIONETKAEI ANAPI N 1970 EUGENE VANDERPOOL PUBLISHED a fragmentary lex sacra of the Attic deme Phrearrhoi.1 This was not only the firstinscription of the deme to come to light but also the first evidence of any kind on the cult activities of the Phrearrhians. Its finding place, moreover, about halfway between the villages of Olympos and Anevyssos, provided the first real indication of the deme's location. Vanderpool'seditio princeps was closely followed by a restorationof the inscription with appended notes by Franciszek Sokolowski.2 Nothing has appeared since this effort, and clearly the "adequate commentary" originally called for by Vanderpool has yet to appear. In this paper I should like to make a start toward such a commentary,through a systematic tabulation and interpretation of the ressacrae on the fragment. My hope is to extract tentative, but supportable, conclusions about the identity of the rites there described. To facilitate discussion, Vanderpool'stext, with restorationsby Vanderpool, Sokolowski, and myself, is reproduced below.

  • CO2-Emanating Thermal Springs As Potentially Lethal Geohazards in the Dallol Region, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia, and the Hierapolis-Pamukkale Region, Turkey
    CO2-emanating thermal springs as potentially lethal geohazards in the Dallol region, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia, and the Hierapolis-Pamukkale region, Turkey Sharad Master* EGRI, School of Geosciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, RSA *E-mail: [email protected] Volcanoes and associated volcanic springs and emanations are potential human and animal health hazards which have been documented in many places since ancient times (Master, 2016). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an abundant volcanic gas, which is emitted during volcanic eruptions and in geothermal areas, and is particularly insidious and dangerous because it is odorless, and denser than air. The Afar region of northern Ethiopia is one of the most tectonically active regions in the world, and is the site of abundant recent volcanic activity and seismicity. The hotsprings at Dallol in the northern Danakil Depression, Afar, are well known for their hydrothermal deposits of brightly coloured iron-rich salts. The source of the springs is probably from meteoric waters, which have interacted with magmatic rocks and magmas, from which their abundant contained gases, including CO2, are derived. Near Dallol, the Black Water and Gaet’ale thermal springs have been observed with fountaining jets of hot hypersaline Fe-rich brines, especially after the seismovolcanic crises of 2005 (Master, 2016). Many dead birds were observed around the Gaet’ale springs and lake (and also Black Spring), and locals have observed the birds dying due to gas emanations from the lake. The thermal springs and lakes near Dallol may pose a dangerous (and even potentially deadly) health hazard for human visitors (Master, 2016).

URL : http://journals.openedition.org/kernos/984 ; DOI : 10.4000/ kernos.984 Kernos ORACLES AND DIVINE INSPIRATION Glaukos, the infant son of king Minos of Knossos and Pasiphae, fell into a pithos filled with honey and drowned. After a long vain search his father found the body but only with the help of divine prophets or Apollo himself. Glaukos was eventually restored to life by the famous seer Polyidos. The popular myth, which provided the plot for two lost tragedies by Sophocles and Euripides1, was very old, although the first extant version was recorded as late as Apollodorus2. In his Sather Classical Lectures over half a century ago Persson explained the myth as a paradeigm of the annual death and rebirth of nature which he believed to be central to Minoan and Mycenaean cult and refiected in contemporary glyptic art3. His thesis may be too global for modern tastes, but his reading of the myth's central theme remains compelling to-day. The tale's basic elements of death, disappearance and renewal are undeniablé, indeed sorne versions substituted Asclepius for the seer Polyidos as a more fitting agent to restore Glaukos to life.

  • The Ploutonion of Hierapolis in Light of Recent Research
    This is the first page only. On how to acquire the full article please click this link. The Ploutonion of Hierapolis in light of recent research (2013-17) Francesco D’Andria The discovery of the Ploutonion The Ploutonion of Hierapolis (Phrygia) is mentioned in numerous Greek and Latin liter- ary sources, which stress its distinctive natural features and the rites that were performed there. From the 19th c. onwards, this sanctuary was the object of investigations and hypoth- eses on the part of various scholars regarding its exact location, without however reaching a satisfactory solution to the problem.1 The famous place of worship was finally identified thanks to a large-scale topographic survey of the entire settlement and the surrounding area, undertaken by the Italian Archaeological Mission (hereafter MAIER) as part of the creation of the Atlas (Atlante) of Hierapolis.2 Specifically, in the area south of the Sanctuary of Apollo, as a result of these investigations various masonry structures belonging to monu- mental buildings were discovered. Also found in the area were sculpted marble capitals with lions attacking bulls and Ionic capitals with masks, which had clearly been brought from the Stoa-basilica, built in the Antonine period along the E side of the North Agora. Another feature of the area was the presence of the richest and most active thermal springs, which now flow along a modern channel into the large swimming pool or lake of the Pamukkale Termal. Today this facility represents one of the site’s greatest tourist attractions, due to the opportunity it provides for visitors to take a dip in its tepid mineral waters while swimming among columns and other marble architectural features.
