As a result, modern comparisons have been relied upon to fill in the gaps about the hoplite’s transition from his military service back into his domestic environment. This has formed the basis of a particular strand of research exploring modern PTSD as a method with which to understand the ancient hoplite’s experiences of war and its aftermath. This debate lacks the necessary historical due diligence because it has not yet been established exactly how a hoplite returned home and how this return was experienced. To rectify this gap in our knowledge, this thesis identifies and examines three fundamental transitions undergone by the classical Athenian hoplite as a result of his military service: his departure to war, his homecoming from war having survived, and his homecoming from war having died. Each of these transitions is split in two, examining both the transition within the domestic environment as a member of an oikos, and within the military environment as a member of the army. Drawing upon a wide range of evidence, this thesis presents a template of each transition, exploring the logistics and rituals involved, the participants, and the locations. The primary aim of this research is to show that the Athenian hoplite underwent a series of transitions into and out of the Athenian army, which suggests a complex relationship between the hoplite, his oikos and his military service. Having established these transitions, this thesis argues that there is evidence of ideological friction between the oikos and the military ideology that is commonly described in the contemporary literature. As a result, it is argued that the PTSD debate should focus more on the evidence of friction within these transitions and pursue a more diachronically sensitive examination of the topic. 1 Table of Contents Acknowledgements 4 List of Abbreviations 5 List of Figures, Tables, and Maps 6 Chapter 1: Introduction 8 1.1: The ‘PTSD in history’ debate 8 1.1.1: Universalist Approach 8 1.1.2: Relativist Approach 12 1.1.3: Military Homecomings 14 1.2: The Distinction Between Public and Domestic 17 1.3: Methodology and Structure 22 Chapter 2: The Warrior’s Departure 24 2.1: Methodological Considerations 24 2.2: Departure from the oikos 27 2.2.1: The Polis in the Oikos Departure 31 2.2.2: The Voice of the Oikos during a Departure 37 2.3: Joining the Muster 43 2.3.1: The Mobilisation 44 2.3.2: The Mechanism of the Muster 46 2.3.3: Locations of the Muster 50 2.3.4: The Rolling Muster 60 2.4: The Military Departure 63 2.4.1: Departure for the Sicilian Expedition 64 2.4.2: Interacting with the Gods 67 2.4.3: Reading the Signs 70 Chapter 3: Military Homecoming 75 3.1: Arriving in Athens 76 3.1.1: A Military Pompe 80 3.1.2: Argive Welcome 85 3.1.3: An Athlete’s welcome? 89 3.2: Dedications 93 2 3.3: Homecoming Arrivals on Red-figure Pottery? 98 3.3.1: Parallel Scenes 102 3.3.2: Libation Rituals and Variation 107 3.3.3: Ambiguity 108 3.4: Homecoming Arrivals in the Literary Evidence 110 3.4.1: Thematic considerations 110 3.4.2: Homecoming 113 3.4.3: Arrivals vs Departures 123 Chapter 4: Military Homecoming of the Dead 127 4.1: Battlefield Cremation 128 4.1.1: Pyres and (C)remains 129 4.1.2: Leaving Cremains Behind 135 4.2: Patrios Nomos 139 4.2.1: The Funerary Rites 139 4.2.2: The Funeral Oration 143 4.3: The Domestic Reception of the War Dead 149 4.3.1: Subversion of Funeral Norms 150 4.3.2: Public Memorialisation 153 4.3.3: Private Memorialisation 156 4.4: Experience of the Oikos 164 4.4.1: Notification of death 165 4.4.2: Funeral Oration 169 4.5: Return of the War dead 174 Chapter 5: Conclusion 177 Bibliography 181 3 Acknowledgements A project of this magnitude inevitably relies on the support of a large group of people. Firstly, I am eternally grateful for the help and support of my research degree administrators Deborah Bown and Rhiannon Patkai who have saved me from a plethora of administrative catastrophes over these years. I am also grateful for the patience and support of our subject librarian Nicola Ward, who was always willing to track down and source even the most obscure of books for me. Writing a PhD can be quite a lonely experience so I am grateful for all of those who have made that experience more sociable, particular thanks goes to my comrades in research Ian Bass, Jérémy Filet, Jessica Purdy and Michaela Hulme. Similarly the History section has been very welcoming and so many of the staff have been willing to entertain some very morbid conversations in their office during the course of my research. In particular I would like to thank (and equally apologise to) Dr. Sam Edwards, Dr. Kathryn Hurlock, Dr. Marcus Morris, Dr. Rosamund Oates, Dr. Mercedes Peñalba-Sotorrío, and Gervase Phillips. I would also like to offer my gratitude to Dr. April Pudsey for all of her feedback and advice as part of my supervisory team. I am indebted to the many scholars who have offered advice and their thoughts during the development of my ideas. In particular, my thanks go to Prof. Tim McNiven, Prof. Robin Osborne, Prof. Susan Deacy, Dr. Peter Liddel, Dr. Alexandra Wilding, Dr. Roel Konijnendijk, Dr. Cezary Kucewicz, and Dr. Sam Fernes. I am also extremely grateful for the help and patience offered by Dr. John Taylor and Prof. Costas Panayotakis who both had the thankless task of teaching me ancient Greek. My family have supported this venture from the very beginning and have shown nothing but love and affection throughout. My wife Carly in particular has been a driving force behind this project and is the sole reason I have been able to balance being at home and getting this thesis complete. My children must get a special mention for letting me work while at home, I know it wasn’t always easy for them! Finally my thanks and gratitude go to my Director of Studies Dr. Jason Crowley for all of his support in the formulation of my ideas and the writing of this thesis. Our opposing views have forced a refinement to my work that I have both appreciated and enjoyed. This thesis would not have been possible without him, and I am grateful for everything he has done. 4 List of Abbreviations AIO Attic Inscriptions Online [Online] https://www.atticinscriptions.com/ ARV Beazley, J.D.

  • The Limits of Communication Between Mortals and Immortals in the Homeric Hymns
    Body Language: The Limits of Communication between Mortals and Immortals in the Homeric Hymns. Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bridget Susan Buchholz, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Sarah Iles Johnston Fritz Graf Carolina López-Ruiz Copyright by Bridget Susan Buchholz 2009 Abstract This project explores issues of communication as represented in the Homeric Hymns. Drawing on a cognitive model, which provides certain parameters and expectations for the representations of the gods, in particular, for the physical representations their bodies, I examine the anthropomorphic representation of the gods. I show how the narratives of the Homeric Hymns represent communication as based upon false assumptions between the mortals and immortals about the body. I argue that two methods are used to create and maintain the commonality between mortal bodies and immortal bodies; the allocation of skills among many gods and the transference of displays of power to tools used by the gods. However, despite these techniques, the texts represent communication based upon assumptions about the body as unsuccessful. Next, I analyze the instances in which the assumed body of the god is recognized by mortals, within a narrative. This recognition is not based upon physical attributes, but upon the spoken self identification by the god. Finally, I demonstrate how successful communication occurs, within the text, after the god has been recognized. Successful communication is represented as occurring in the presence of ritual references.

  • Ideals and Pragmatism in Greek Military Thought 490-338 Bc
    Roel Konijnendijk IDEALS AND PRAGMATISM IN GREEK MILITARY THOUGHT 490-338 BC PhD Thesis – Ancient History – UCL I, Roel Konijnendijk, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Thesis Abstract This thesis examines the principles that defined the military thinking of the Classical Greek city-states. Its focus is on tactical thought: Greek conceptions of the means, methods, and purpose of engaging the enemy in battle. Through an analysis of historical accounts of battles and campaigns, accompanied by a parallel study of surviving military treatises from the period, it draws a new picture of the tactical options that were available, and of the ideals that lay behind them. It has long been argued that Greek tactics were deliberately primitive, restricted by conventions that prescribed the correct way to fight a battle and limited the extent to which victory could be exploited. Recent reinterpretations of the nature of Greek warfare cast doubt on this view, prompting a reassessment of tactical thought – a subject that revisionist scholars have not yet treated in detail. This study shows that practically all the assumptions of the traditional model are wrong. Tactical thought was constrained chiefly by the extreme vulnerability of the hoplite phalanx, its total lack of training, and the general’s limited capacity for command and control on the battlefield. Greek commanders, however, did not let any moral rules get in the way of possible solutions to these problems. Battle was meant to create an opportunity for the wholesale destruction of the enemy, and any available means were deployed towards that goal.

  • The Differing Journeys Through Childhood in Ancient Athens and Sparta
    Growing up Greek: The differing journeys through childhood in ancient Athens and Sparta Elizabeth Ann Robertson Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work therein is my own, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2018 Elizabeth Ann Robertson Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Athens and Sparta were the two most prominent city-states during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, but their socio-political systems differed markedly. As a result of such radical differences it could be hypothesised that the childhoods and, in particular, the education and socialisation of children, would also differ. The aims of this thesis are: 1. to examine the extent and nature of the differences between the childhood experiences of each group of children from the two city-states, Athens and Sparta, in particular the type of education and socialisation system to which each was exposed; and 2. to discern to what extent and in what way the socio-political system of their respective state had an impact on their upbringing and their journey to adult citizen status.

    ALASTAR H. JACKSON ARGOS’ VICTORY OVER CORINTH argeioi aneyen toi diWi ton ?orinyoyen aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 132 (2000) 295–311 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 295 ARGOS’ VICTORY OVER CORINTH* argeioi aneyen toi diWi ton ?orinyoyen 1. Introduction This paper is best introduced by the following summary. It concerns a victory of Argos over Corinth in the late sixth or very early fifth century B.C., a battle to which little attention has been paid because it is not mentioned by any ancient historical writer such as Herodotus. Instead our evidence on it comes mainly in the form of Argos’ dedicatory inscriptions on captured Corinthian armour that she offered in thanks for his help in it to Zeus at Olympia, where excavators and others have found some of it . The evidence of this inscribed armour is first set in its archaeological context (section 2). This shows that the battle must have taken place some time between c. 530 and the mid 490s B.C. The historical evidence is then reviewed (section 3) and among other matters is shown to be consistent with this dating. Next the very important evidence of the inscriptions themselves is discussed (section 4). Special attention is paid to the striking variety of styles of Argive scripts used in them. They are illustrated by facsimiles in Figures I to III and tabulated with details in section 4. From all this evidence it is concluded in section 5, that Corinth’s hoplites could well have suffered substantial loss in the battle. There would probably have been serious repercussions in Corinth and beyond.

    The Curious Case of Erysichthon A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Elizabeth Torresson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: Nita Krevans December 2019 © Elizabeth Torresson 2019 Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the department for their support and especially the members of my committee: Nita Krevans, Susanna Ferlito, Jackie Murray, Christopher Nappa, and Melissa Harl Sellew. The seeds of this dissertation were planted in my senior year of college when Jackie Murray spread to me with her contagious enthusiasm a love of Hellenistic poetry. Without her genuine concern for my success and her guidance in those early years, I would not be where I am today. I also owe a shout-out to my undergraduate professors, especially Robin Mitchell-Boyask and Daniel Tompkins, who inspired my love of Classics. At the University of Minnesota, Nita Krevans took me under her wing and offered both emotional and intellectual support at various stages along the way. Her initial suggestions, patience, and encouragement allowed this dissertation to take the turn that it did. I am also very grateful to Christopher Nappa and Melissa Harl Sellew for their unflagging encouragement and kindness over the years. It was in Melissa’s seminar that an initial piece of this dissertation was begun. My heartfelt thanks also to Susanna Ferlito, who graciously stepped in at the last minute and offered valuable feedback, and to Susan Noakes, for offering independent studies so that I could develop my interest in Italian language and literature.
