  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

Please contact UYMP to discuss any translation of the English text.] Iliad, chapter 18 (of 24): Patroclus, Achilles’ companion, is killed in battle. Achilles’ emotional reaction is extreme. His screams are heard by his mother, Thetis, from the depths of the sea. She calls on her nymphs (Nereids) to come to her son’s aid. “With these the bright cave was filled, and the nymphs all alike, beat their breasts, and Thetis led the lament.” The names of ancient Greek sea nymphs are recalled throughout the work.

  • Mythology, Greek, Roman Allusions
    Advanced Placement Tool Box Mythological Allusions –Classical (Greek), Roman, Norse – a short reference • Achilles –the greatest warrior on the Greek side in the Trojan war whose mother tried to make immortal when as an infant she bathed him in magical river, but the heel by which she held him remained vulnerable. • Adonis –an extremely beautiful boy who was loved by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. By extension, an “Adonis” is any handsome young man. • Aeneas –a famous warrior, a leader in the Trojan War on the Trojan side; hero of the Aeneid by Virgil. Because he carried his elderly father out of the ruined city of Troy on his back, Aeneas represents filial devotion and duty. The doomed love of Aeneas and Dido has been a source for artistic creation since ancient times. • Aeolus –god of the winds, ruler of a floating island, who extends hospitality to Odysseus on his long trip home • Agamemnon –The king who led the Greeks against Troy. To gain favorable wind for the Greek sailing fleet to Troy, he sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia to the goddess Artemis, and so came under a curse. After he returned home victorious, he was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus. • Ajax –a Greek warrior in the Trojan War who is described as being of colossal stature, second only to Achilles in courage and strength. He was however slow witted and excessively proud. • Amazons –a nation of warrior women. The Amazons burned off their right breasts so that they could use a bow and arrow more efficiently in war.

  • The Realm of Nymphs
    MUSEUM FRIDAY FEATURE The Realm of Nymphs he Olympian gods are well- Tknown to enthusiasts of mythology, but the complete ancient Greek pantheon was astoundingly vast, including thousands of supernatural beings inhabiting the earth, the seas, and the Underworld. Among the most populous of these beings were nymphs, who formed several groups including Oceanids, Nereids, Naiads, Dryads, and Oreads. Their actual numbers were mind-boggling, and ancient authors Anonymous (Italian, 17th century) clearly confused them, with names Sea Deities sometimes overlapping across Ink on paper Gift of Drs. Saul S. and Gladys D. Weinberg in memory of Bernard Weinberg (73.273) groups. The mighty Titan Oceanus, who embodied the great ocean encircling Mother Earth, was said to have sired 3,000 daughters and 3,000 sons (by one goddess, unbelievably). Some authors associated Oceanus’ daughters with saltwater, while others implied that they inhabited freshwater as well, making them overlap with Naiads. In his Theogony, our requisite go-to for origins of Greek gods, Hesiod gave up after naming only forty- one Oceanids, and summed up by saying they were “dispersed far and wide.” We might be grateful that no ancient Greek author set about to name all 3,000 Oceanids, but a few were significant. Metis was the actual mother of Athena, but Zeus swallowed her before she could give birth, fearing that she would bear a son more powerful than he. Athena thus sprung out of Zeus rather than out of Metis. Doris, wife of the ancient sea god Nereus, gave birth to fifty daughters known as the Nereids.

    O Oceanids (Ὠκεανίδες). The 'holy company' of daughters of *Ocean and *Tethys, and sisters of the river-gods. Their number varies, but Apollodorus names seven (Asia, *Styx, Electra, Doris, Eurynome, *Amphitrite, *Metis) and Hesiod forty-one, including, in addition to those mentioned by Apollodorus, *Calypso *Clymene and Philyra. Most of those named mated with gods (Amphitrite with Poseidon, Doris with Nereus for example) and produced important offspring (Athena was born from Metis and Zeus, Philyra mated with Kronos in the form of a horse and produced the centaur Chiron, Clymene was the mother of Prometheus, and also bore Phaethon to Helius the sun-god.). The sons of Ocean were the fresh-water rivers, but some of the daughters were sea-nymphs, others spirits of streams called after a characteristic of their water such as Ocyrrhoe ('swift-flowing') or Xanthe ('brownish-yellow'); Styx, unusually, was a female river deity, personifying the river of Hades. Calypso ruled over the island kingdom of Ogygia (but her parentage as a true Oceanid is disputed). Metis had the ability, common to sea-gods, of being able to change her shape, although she was little more than the personification of wisdom, swallowed by Zeus in order to absorb that wisdom and to contain any threat from the child with whom she was pregnant. Oceanids feature as the chorus in Prometheus Bound, a tragedy which is set at the north-eastern edge of the known world, and at a time before Zeus had consolidated his power. The Oceanids were part of the older, pre-Olympian race of gods, who had a role as consorts or mothers of other divinities, but were more often viewed anonymously as belonging to the vastness of the sea, to be placated in times of storm and turbulence.

  • Homeric Catalogues Between Tradition and Invention
    31 DOI:10.34616/QO.2019.4.31.54 Quaestiones Oralitatis IV (2018/2019) Isabella Nova Università Cattolica di Milano [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-7880-4856 HOMERIC CATALOGUES BETWEEN TRADITION AND INVENTION Abstract This contribution aims at showing how a traditional list of names could be varied by poets with the addition of new ones sharing the same features, with a special focus on the Nereids’ names. A compari- son between the catalogue of Nereids in the Iliad (XVIII 39–49) and the one in the Theogony (Theog. 243–264) shows that whilst some names are traditional and some others seem to be invented ad hoc, they all convey relaxing images (sea, nature, beauty, or gifts for sailors). This list of names did not become a fixed one in later times either: inscriptions on vase-paintings of the 5th century preserve names different than the epic ones. Even Apollodorus (I 2, 7) gives a catalogue of Nereids derived partly from the Iliad and partly from the Theogony, with the addition of some names belonging to another group of deities (the Oceanids) and other forms unattested elsewhere but with the same features of the epic ones. A further comparison between a catalogue of Nymphs in the Georgics (IV 333–356) and its reception in the work of Higynus proves that adding new names to a traditional list is a feature not only of oral epic poetry, but also of catalogues composed in a literate culture. Keywords: Homer, Iliad, Hesiod, Theogony, Apollodorus, Virgil, Hyginus, reception of Homer, vase-paintings, catalogues, Nereids, speaking-names, oral culture, orality 32 Isabella Nova This paper will consider the ancient lists of the Nereids’ names, making a comparison between catalogues in epic po- etry, which were orally composed, and their reception in clas- sical times.

  • A JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVE by LAURA NANNETTE MOSLEY
    THE ROLE AND MEANING OF THE MELUSINE MYTH IN MODERN NARRATIVE: A JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVE by LAURA NANNETTE MOSLEY (Under the Direction of Jonathan F. Krell) ABSTRACT The myth of Mélusine first appeared in literary form in France in 1393. Its author, Jean d’Arras, drew from long-standing oral tradition in the writing of his romance, which was, by the standards of the Middle Ages, a best-seller. Mélusine’s ongoing popularity into the 20th and 21st centuries, not only in France, but internationally as well, is evidenced by André Breton’s Arcane 17 (1944), Manuel Mujica Lainez’s El unicornio (1965), Esther Tusquets’s El mismo mar de todos los veranos (1978), and Marie de la Montluel’s (Chantal Chawaf’s) Mélusine des détritus (2002), the four novels I undertake to explore in this dissertation. From a Jungian perspective, the ongoing appeal of Mélusine may be explained by the rich archetypal images and mythological motifs contained within her story, but to fully understand why these authors from such vastly different socio-cultural and historical backgrounds were so inspired by her, it is necessary to consider that each of these authors wrote at a time of personal and societal crisis. Jung teaches that it is at such times that the individual awakens to the need to probe the unconscious, and that it is then that the archetype most needed by the psyche will appear. Following Jungian scholar James Hillman, who identifies the alchemical Mercurius as the archetype of healing due to his capacity to unite opposites, I identify Mélusine with this archetype.
