    ROBERT K. SHERK THE EPONYMOUS OFFICIALS OF GREEK CITIES: I aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 83 (1990) 249–288 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 249 The Eponymous Officials of Greek Cities: I (A) Introduction The eponymous official or magistrate after whom the year was named in Greek cities or as- sociations is well known to all epigraphists under various titles: archon, prytanis, stephanepho- ros, priest, etc. Some details about them have appeared in many articles and in scattered pas- sages of scholarly books. However, not since the publication of Clemens Gnaedinger, De Graecorum magistratibus eponymis quaestiones epigraphicae selectae (Diss. Strassburg 1892) has there been a treatment of the subject as a whole, although the growth of the material in this regard has been enormous.1 What is missing, however, is an attempt to bring the material up to date in a comprehensive survey covering the whole Greek world, at least as far as possible. The present article, of which this is only the first part, will present that material in a geographically organized manner: mainland Greece and the adjacent islands, then the Aegean islands, Asia Minor and Thrace, Syria, Egypt, Cyrene, Sicily, and southern Italy. All the epi- graphic remains of that area have been examined and catalogued. General observations and conclusions will be presented after the evidence as a whole has been given. I. Earliest Examples of Eponymity The earliest form of writing appeared in Sumer and Assyria sometime within the last half of the fourth millennium BC, and from there it spread westward. Thus, it is not at all surpris- ing that the Mesopotamian civilizations also made the earliest use of assigning names or events to years in dating historical records.

  • Sons and Fathers in the Catalogue of Argonauts in Apollonius Argonautica 1.23-233
    Sons and fathers in the catalogue of Argonauts in Apollonius Argonautica 1.23-233 ANNETTE HARDER University of Groningen [email protected] 1. Generations of heroes The Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius brings emphatically to the attention of its readers the distinction between the generation of the Argonauts and the heroes of the Trojan War in the next genera- tion. Apollonius initially highlights this emphasis in the episode of the Argonauts’ departure, when the baby Achilles is watching them, at AR 1.557-5581 σὺν καί οἱ (sc. Chiron) παράκοιτις ἐπωλένιον φορέουσα | Πηλείδην Ἀχιλῆα, φίλωι δειδίσκετο πατρί (“and with him his wife, hold- ing Peleus’ son Achilles in her arms, showed him to his dear father”)2; he does so again in 4.866-879, which describes Thetis and Achilles as a baby. Accordingly, several scholars have focused on the ways in which 1 — On this marker of the generations see also Klooster 2014, 527. 2 — All translations of Apollonius are by Race 2008. EuGeStA - n°9 - 2019 2 ANNETTE HARDER Apollonius has avoided anachronisms by carefully distinguishing between the Argonauts and the heroes of the Trojan War3. More specifically Jacqueline Klooster (2014, 521-530), in discussing the treatment of time in the Argonautica, distinguishes four periods of time to which Apollonius refers: first, the time before the Argo sailed, from the beginning of the cosmos (featured in the song of Orpheus in AR 1.496-511); second, the time of its sailing (i.e. the time of the epic’s setting); third, the past after the Argo sailed and fourth the present inhab- ited by the narrator (both hinted at by numerous allusions and aitia).

    Xenophon and Epaminondas Westlake, H D Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Spring 1975; 16, 1; ProQuest pg. 23 Xenophon and Epaminondas H. D. Westlake HE PRESENTATION ofEpaminondas by Xenophon is very remark­ Table, even in a work so unmethodically and capriciously written as the Hellenica. Epaminondas is mentioned for the first time as leader of a Theban expedition to Achaea in 366 B.c. (7.1.41)1 when his achievements already included his celebrated defiance of Agesilaus at the Peace Congress of 371, his defeat of the Spartans at Leuctra, and his first two invasions of the Peloponnese, which resulted in the devastation of Laconia, the liberation of Mes­ senia and the foundation of Messene and Megalopolis. 2 The suppres­ sion of his name up to that point has rightly been attributed to the notorious antipathy of Xenophon towards the The bans, which causes him to deny to their principal leader the credit due for all these achievements.3 It is, therefore, astonishing to find that when Xenophon deals with the fourth The ban invasion of the Peloponnese culminating in the battle of Mantinea (7.5.4-27), Epaminondas dominates the narrative: the course of events is recorded almost exclusively from his point of view; his plans and motives are carefully analysed; he is credited with having shown foresight and boldness throughout the campaign; some of his actions are explicitly praised. It is tempting to interpret the presentation of Epaminondas in the last pages of the Hellenica as a palinode; to conclude that Xenophon, conscious of having done him less than justice hitherto, now wishes to 1 All references are to the Hellenica unless otherwise stated.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.

Phoenix, the ​ ​ instructor of Achilles, tries to persuade Achilles to protect the ships of Achaeans during his speech. At the end of his speech, Phoenix tells Achilles about the story of Meleager which serves as a warning about waiting too long to fight the Trojans.

  • Chapter Twelve – Atalanta
    Chapter Twelve – Atalanta Taken from Mythology for Today – Hamilton’s Mythology 1. Atalanta’s father does not think she is “worthwhile” because she is a girl; the men are angry and embarrassed that Atalanta, a girl, wins the prize in the boar hunt; Atalanta’s future husband wins the race by exploiting her “feminine” desire for beautiful objects, as opposed to sport. 2. Because she is abandoned in the woods, Atalanta is adopted by hunters, so that she becomes well skilled in hunting. 3. The Calydonian boar was a creature sent by Artemis to punish King Oeneus of Calydon for failing to offer her harvest sacrifices. The brutal boar ravaged the land and the cattle, and killed the men who tried to destroy it. 4. The boar hunt ends in a controversy over who should be honored with the boar skin—the prize for the best hunter. Although Atalanta was the first to hit the boar, it was Meleager who killed the creature. 5. He is in love with Atalanta. 6. When Meleager was born, his mother heard the Fates say that when a certain log was burned to ash, he would die. Althea, his mother, snatched the log from the fire and hid it in the chest. When Meleager kills his uncles, Althea’s brothers, Althea is so angered that she throws the log onto the fire, and as it burns away, Meleager dies. 7. Atalanta challenges each of her suitors to a foot race. If a suitor wins, she will marry him; if she wins, she will remain independent.
