    82 GREZIA ETA ERROMAKO PERTSONAIA MITOLOGIKOAK --- ARAU OSATUA, EGUNERATUA ETA EMENDATUA 1- 1998ko araua 1998an, 82. araua onartu zuen Euskaltzaindiak: Grezia eta Erromako pertsonaia mitologikoak. Arauak ez zuen sarrerarik izan, baina oin-ohar bat zuen irizpideei jatorria zein zen jakinazteko. Hona hemen: (*) Zerrenda hauek osatzeko erabili diren irizpideak, 76. Araua, hots, “Latin eta greziar pertsona- izen klasikoak euskaraz emateko irizpideei buruzko erabakia” gauzatzeko erabilitakoak dira. 2- Arau osatua, eguneratua eta emendatua Hamazazpi urte igaro dira arauaren lehen bertsio hura plazaratu zenetik, eta, latin eta greziar pertsona-izen klasikoen arauan bezala, gaur egun euskara batuan argitaratzen diren lanetan (eskola-liburuak, entziklopediak, hiztegiak, literatura, komunikabideak…), guztiz hedatuta dago arauan emandako eredua. Bigarren bertsio honetan, osatu egin da orduko zerrenda hura, eta hartan agertzen ez diren zenbait izen erantsi. Arauaren lehen bertsioak 249 izen bildu zituen. Orain, 83 izen gehiago erantsi dira, eta Fenizia eta Kartagoko hiru jainko-jainkosa nagusi ere sartu dira (zerrendan Latina /Grekoa zutabea hutsik duten izenak dira). Beraz, 335 mitonimoz osatutako izendegi bat du arauaren bigarren bertsioak. Gainera, 1998ko zerrendan, gaztelaniazko eta frantsesezko ordainak bai baina ingelesezko ordainak ez ziren eman; orain, erantsi egin dira ingelesezko ordainak, kanpoko leku- eta pertsona-izenen gainerako arauetan egin ohi den bezala. Zerrendara bildu diren izaki mitologiko horietako batzuk multzo-izenak dira, eta pluralean erabili ohi dira. Haietako bakoitzak zenbait mitonimo biltzen ditu; gehienetan, mugatuak dira (Pleiadeak zazpi ziren; Eniriak, hiru; Furiak eta Graziak ere hiru ziren …), eta letra larriz hasita idatzi ohi dira; badira beste horrelako multzo-izen batzuk, zenbait izaki mitologikoren kopuru mugagabea edo oso handia dutenak, hala nola ninfak, sirenak, nereidak, larak, manak, ozeanideak, naiadeak…; halakoak erabat letra xehez idatzi ohi dira, eta lexiko arrunteko hiztegietan agertu ohi dira.

PREPARER’S NOTE This book was published in 1890 by Longmans, Green, and Co., London; and New York: 15 East 16th Street. The epigrams in the book are given both in Greek and in English. This text includes only the English. Where Greek is present in short citations, it has been given here in transliterated form and marked with brackets.

Dim now and soil’d, Like the soil’d tissue of white violets Left, freshly gather’d, on their native bank. M. Arnold, /Sohrab and Rustum/. PREFACE The purpose of this book is to present a complete collection, subject to certain definitions and exceptions which will be mentioned later, of all the best extant Greek Epigrams. Although many epigrams not given here have in different ways a special interest of their own, none, it is hoped, have been excluded which are of the first excellence in any style. But, while it would be easy to agree on three-fourths of the matter to be included in such a scope, perhaps hardly any two persons would be in exact accordance with regard to the rest; with many pieces which lie on the border line of excellence, the decision must be made on a balance of very slight considerations, and becomes in the end one rather of personal taste than of any fixed principle.

  • Ezra Pound and the Greek Anthology
    11 EZRA POUND AND THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY H. K. Riikonen The last two decades before the First World War mark an interesting period in the history of the classical tradition. The writers of this generation had still received an education based on a solid learning of the classical languages and of classical literature. This is attested by their constant allusions to and quotations from Greek and Roman poetry. Classical allusions, however, were not mere testimonies to the mod - ernists’ education; indeed, such an education enabled them to interpret the culture of antiquity in fresh new ways and to use various aspects of the classical heritage for their artistic pur - poses. Due to new archaeological discoveries, they had access to material which was unknown to previous genera - tions and which changed the general conception of Greek and Roman culture, which had been based on Winckelmannian ideals. Arthur Evans’s excavations on Crete yielded new information for the use of the writers who were interested for instance in the story of Daedalus, the constructor of the labyrinth and of the wings used to escape the island. Evans, a former war correspondent, also efficiently communicated his discoveries, sending for instance reports and telegrams to The Times (Cottrell 87-88, 113-130). Needless to say, James Joyce Quaderni di Palazzo Serra 15 (2008): 181-194. 182 H. K. Riikonen was the most notable author to write about Daedalus, Icarus and the labyrinth; these in fact took on a new topicality through Evans’s archaeological work (Fortune 123-134; Hayman 33-54). Another important factor was the discovery of papyri in Hellenistic Egypt, bringing to light masses of new documents on the everyday life of the Greeks, but also fragments of ancient Greek poetry, especially poems by Sappho.

  • The Greek Anthology
    BOOK TI CHRISTODORUS OF THEBES IN EGYPT This description of the bronze statues in the celebrated gymnasium called Zeuxippos, erected under Septimius Severus at Byzantium and destroyed by fire shortly after this was written (in 532 a.d. ), is of some value, as it gives at least a list of the statues and the names assigned to them. But owing to its bombastic style its value is of the slightest. The poet confines himself usually to mere rhetoric and tiresomely repeats his impression that the statues looked as if they were alive.

  • Notes on Pessoa, Inscriptions, and the Greek Anthology
    Notes on Pessoa, Inscriptions, and the Greek Anthology Kenneth Haynes* Keywords Fernando Pessoa, Epigram, English Poetry, Greek Anthology, Inscriptions. Abstract The Greek Anthology, in the edition and translation of William Roger Paton, was the model for the genre, mood, title, and often the style of Fernando Pessoa’s Inscriptions (1921). Pessoa left consideraBle marginalia in his copy of Paton’s translation, which indicate the poems he was particularly drawn to, mainly the epitaphic poems of the seventh Book of the Anthology. In imitating these poems, Pessoa was participating in a widespread Victorian and Edwardian practice, which a few Anglo-American modernists also continued.

No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.

  • 3. Anthologies and Anthologists 87 Derives Its Epigrams from the Anthology of Cephalas, Was Compiled During the Reign of Leo VI (886–912)14
    Chapter Three ANTHOLOGIES AND ANTHOLOGISTS Between c. 850 and 950 many Byzantine intellectuals, among them bril- liant scholars such as Leo the Philosopher, devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the study of ancient, late antique and contemporary poetry. These hundred years of Byzantine scholarship resulted in the compilation of two major anthologies: the Palatine Anthology (compiled shortly after 944) and the Anthologia Barberina (c. 919). The latter is a collection of Byzantine anacreon- tics and alphabets, which can be found in Barb. gr. 310 (see below, pp. 123– 128). The former is essentially a copy of an earlier anthology of epigrams put together by Constantine Cephalas at the end of the ninth century. The anthol- ogy of Cephalas is not preserved, but we can reconstruct its structure in broad outline with the help of various collections of epigrams that derive from it, either directly or indirectly. Of these collections the Palatine Anthology is by far the most important because it closely resembles the original anthology of Cephalas. The Palatine manuscript1 was written by six different scribes2. These six hands can be divided into two groups: B1, B2 and B3, and J, A1 and A2, respectively. Both groups of hands can be dated approximately to the second quarter of the tenth century: scribes B to c. 920–930, scribes J and A to c. 940– 9503. The oldest part of the manuscript, copied by scribes B1, B2 and B3, compris- es the epigrams starting from AP IX, 563 to the end of AP XIV (pp. 453–642), 1 After the Napoleonic wars the Palatine manuscript, with the exception of its last 100- odd pages, was sent back to Heidelberg (Pal.

  • The Reappearance of Sapphic Fragments in the Italian Renaissance
    1 The reappearance of sapphic fragments in the Italian Renaissance 2 3 4 In this article the survival of the sapphic fragments of the ancient times in Renaissance period is 5 examined. More specifically the reappearance of the sapphic verses is presented concerning the first 6 publications (editio princeps) and the most widespread texts of ancient authors during West 7 Renaissance. These texts were the primary sources, on which the later publications of the sapphic 8 work were based, while they also had a great influence on the reception of the ancient poet by the 9 Renaissance writers. 10 11 Key words: classical tradition in the Italian Renaissance; reception of Sappho; survival of the 12 sapphic poetry during the Renaissance 13 14 Introduction: In ancient times, Sappho's poetry was an object of admiration, and many ancient 15 sources refer to her as the Tenth Muse (Hallett 1979: 447) or ‘the poetess’, as Homer was ‘the poet’ 16 (Parker 1993: 312). Also, the Alexandrian grammarians included Sappho in the canon of the nine 17 lyric poets (ibid: 340). It seems, however, that already in the 9th century A.D. the poems of Sappho 18 have been disappeared: around 1550, Jerome Cardan reports that Gregory of Nazianzus had 19 publicly destroyed Sappho's works, while at the end of the 16th century, Joseph Justus Scaliger 20 claims that her poems were burnt in Rome and Constantinople in 1073 by order of Pope Gregory 21 VII (Reynolds 2001: 81). Similar information is also recorded by other writers1. In fact, Sappho's 22 works were probably lost since people stopped to copy them in the period that the parchment 23 replaced the papyrus (ibid: 18).
