Canada ii Dreaming the Divine: Ritual and Architecture at Ancient Greek Healing Sanctuaries of Asklepios Rachel Jennifer Levine Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art (Ancient Studies) University of Toronto 2008 ABSTRACT: This study examines the relationship between architecture and the ritual of incubation at the ancient Greek healing sanctuaries, especially those dedicated to Asklepios. By highlighting key features of specific sanctuaries, including those at Pergamon, Epidauros, Corinth, and Athens, the study traces the role of architecture in enhancing experience from the macro-level (location of the sanctuary in the environment) to the micro-level (location for incubation). It concludes with the construction of the epiphany of the deity in the patient's atopic dream. Unlike most ancient cults, epiphanic healing requires the patient to make contact with the divinity, an unfamiliar and mythically hazardous undertaking. The architectural and ritual elements of the cult function collectively to facilitate the experience and influence the incubants' thought processes. By creating a network of associations using symbols and architecture, the cult is able to address incubants who have different levels of comprehension and experiences, as well as channel negative cultural perceptions about epiphany into functional ones. The study takes a holistic approach, using both material and textual remains, as both are essential in recreating the complex environment. iii Acknowledgements I wish to offer my deepest gratitude to the people who provided assistance and shared their time with me as I completed this work.

    Thanks for downloading the lesson plans for our production The Myth-Adventures of Theseus. Why are the arts important? The arts are intrinsic to our lives, but often arts education is an after-thought or considered non- essential. However the arts are how we define ourselves and put our lives and times in context. For example, think of the 1930's, the 1950's and the 1970's. When you think of these decades, what are the first things that come to mind? The fashion? The music? The design of the automobiles? Guess what? All of these things are "the arts!" Sure, you may have thought of who was President, and maybe a few world events came to mind, but you probably first put those decades into context by the various artistic forms that were prevalent at the time. Why is Greek mythology important? Much of our Western culture and thought comes from ancient Greece. Even today our ideas about government, architecture, arts and literature, and our language have been shaped by ancient Greek culture. One of the most enduring parts of the ancient Greek culture is their mythology. In fact, our English word "myth" comes from the Greek word "mythos" which means "a spoken story, legend, or tale." A culture's mythology tells us what the culture finds most important, what behaviors it values, and how it explains natural phenomenon. They also served as morality plays, illustrating the consequences of both good and bad behavior. Since a people's myths are often about what is most important to them, a study of Greek mythology can give us insight into what the Greek people valued.

  • ON the ORACLE GIVEN to AEGEUS (Eur
    ON THE ORACLE GIVEN TO AEGEUS (Eur. Med. 679, 681) Aegeus, according to Euripides the childless king of Athens, consulted the oracle at Delphi on the matter of his childlessness, and was given a puzzling answer. He decided, therefore, to seek an explanation from Pittheus/ king of Troezen, who had the reputation of being a prophetic expert and a wise interpreter. On his way from Delphi to Troezen Aegeus passes through Corinth,1 meets with Medea, and repeats to her the Pythia’s advice: ἀσκοΰ με τὸν προυχοντα μὴ λῦσαι πόδα ... (679) πρὶν ἄν πατρῷαν αΰθις ἐστίαν μόλω. (681) Ί am not to loosen the hanging foot of the wineskin ... until I return again to the hearth of my fathers.’ Medea does not attempt to interpret the oracle, but offers instead to cure Aegeus’ childlessness with drugs when she arrives at his court, and the Athenian king having promised to grant her asylum proceeds to Troezen and to the begetting of Theseus. Ἀ hexametric version of the oracle, which somewhat differs from that of Euripides, appears in Apollod. Bibl. 3, 15, 6 (and in Plut. Thes. 3, 5): ἀσκοΰ τὸν προυχοντα πόδα, μεγα, φερτατε λαῶν, μὴ λυσῃς πρὶν ἐς ἄκρον Ά·θηναίων ἀφίκηνοα. ‘The bulging mouth of the wineskin, Ο best of men, loose not until thou hast reached the height of Athens.’2 1 Cf. T.B.L. Webster, The Tragedies of Euripides (London 1967) 54: ‘It is reasonable that he should pass through Corinth on his way from Delphi to Troezen,’ but cf. Α. Rivier, Essai sur le tragique dEuripide (Lausanne 1944) 55, and the literature cited by him.

    Looking at the Past of Greece through the Eyes of Greeks Maria G. Zachariou 1 Table of Contents Introduction 00 Section I: Archaeology in Greece in the 19th Century 00 Section II: Archaeology in Greece in the 20th Century 00 Section III: Archaeology in Greece in the Early 21st Century 00 Conclusion: How the Economic Crisis in Greece is Affecting Archaeology Appendix: Events, Resources, Dates, and People 00 2 Introduction The history of archaeology in Greece as it has been conducted by the Greeks themselves is too major an undertaking to be presented thoroughly within the limits of the current paper.1 Nonetheless, an effort has been made to outline the course of archaeology in Greece from the 19th century to the present day with particular attention to the native Greek contribution. The presentation of the historical facts and personalities that played a leading and vital role in the formation of the archaeological affairs in Greece is realized in three sections: archaeology in Greece during the 19th, the 20th, and the 21st centuries. Crucial historical events, remarkable people, such as politicians and scholars, institutions and societies, are introduced in chronological order, with the hope that the reader will acquire a coherent idea of the evolution of archaeology in Greece from the time of its genesis in the 19th century to the present. References to these few people and events do not suggest by any means that there were not others. The personal decisions and scientific work of native Greek archaeologists past and present has contributed significantly to the same goal: the development of archaeology in Greece.
