" " The ancient lives of Homer which have come down to us are all later than the beginning of the Christian era, and from them we can gather little that has any claim to attention except the two statements that Homer was an Ionian—Chios and Smyrna being the cities most uniformly given as his and that in Chios there was a or birthplace ; guild — of clan of Homcridae that is, "sons Homer." The first mention of the Chian Homeridae occurs Pindar in the geographer Strabo (about 18 a.d.). VU A 2 INTRODUCTION uses the term apparently of those devoted to Homeric poetry without any reference to the Chian clan, and the word is similarly used by Plato. As for the name "Homer" itself it is most naturally taken as that of a teal individual —a poet to whom by the middle of the sixth century b.c. the great mass of epic poetry which survived from the early age of Greece had come to be attri- as time went on all buted ; although poems save the Iliad and Odyssey were rejected, and in later antiquity there were those who referred these to separate authors. The earliest author to mention Homer is Callinus of Ephesus (about 660 b.c.) and the earliest quotation from the Homeric poems is found in Simonides of Amorgos, of the same date, unless it is possibly to be attributed to the later Simonides of Ceos (about 480 b.c). Modern scholars have, however, made many attempts—all uncon- " " vincing — to interpret the word Homer in other ways than as the name of an actual person. The word itself means "hostage." It has been thought that the Homeridae may have been "sons of hostages"—not trusted to fight but allowed to serve as custodians of traditional poetry—and that " " is their ancestor Homer merely imaginary ; others, seeking a different etymology for the word, viii INTRODUCTION have held that it denotes merely the legendary of tradi- fitter-together or harmonizer (6/xrj + ap) the word means tional poetical material. That " " hlind was assumed in antiquity, but is believed by no one. whose name If the personality of the poet, under is thus the Odyssey has come down to us, vague and shadowy—even the most familiar elements being drawn perhaps from his own portrayal of the blind bard, Demodocus—so too there has seemed to many scholars to be a like obscurity regarding the early history of the poem itself. Regarding this the evidence is as follows : The oldest manuscripts of the Odyssey date from the tenth and eleventh centuries a.d. Papyrus fragments whose dates range from the third cen- our tury b.c. to the fourth century a.d. carry know- ledge still further back, and the evidence afforded by our acquaintance with the work of the Alexan- drian grammarians is invaluable in tracing the of the text we have history ; while, finally, quota- tions from Homer in classical authors, and some- what vague and not wholly convincing evidence of the constitution of an authoritative text at Athens in the sixth century b.c. Certain facts stand out prominently. First, our modern text is remarkably ir INTRODUCTION well established—far better established than is, for example, the text of Shakespeare. Secondly, this text seems to have been fixed as the result of a purging or pruning process. We know, for example, that the critical work of the Alexandrians was con- cerned largely with the rejection of lines held on one ground or another to be spurious, that the text of the papyri differs widely from our vulgate text, and that the quotations in ancient authors show many lines not found in our Homer. From this evidence the conclusion has been drawn " " that in antiquity Homer meant the whole mass of epic poetry— for this there is definite evidence— and that our Iliad and Odyssey, both as regards text and content, were in a more or less fluid state until they gradually crystallized into the forms familiar to us. On this view it is impossible to speak of a poet, Homer, as the author either of Iliad or Odyssey. It should be stated, however, that while much of modern Homeric criticism has been analytic and destructive, in many important respects recent studies have shown that both the methods and the results of destructive criticism are misleading, and have given stronger and more convincing grounds for a belief in the essential integrity of both poems, each as the work of one supreme artist. INTRODUCTION The most notable Homeric critics of antiquity were Zenodotus of Ephesus, librarian of the great library at Alexandria under Ptolemy Philadelphus (who reigned 285-247 b.c), Aristophanes of By- zantium, a pupil of Zenodotus, and like him, librarian Aristarchus of at Alexandria (about 200 B.C.), and Samothrace, pupil of Aristophanes and his successor as librarian (about 160 B.C.). Other scholars cited in the critical notes are Rhianus (about 225 b c.\ and Callis- the poet, Onomacritus (about 550 B.C.), tratus, a follower of Aristophanes. The aim of the translator has been to give a faithful rendering of the Odyssey that preserves in so far as possible certain traits of the style of the a should be smooth original. Such rendering and flowing and should be given in elevated but not in stilted language. In particular the recurrent lines and phrases which are so noticeable in the original should be preserved. Hence even when in a given context a varying phrase would seem has to preferable, the translator felt bound use the traditional formula. This has in some instances necessitated the use of a more or less colourless In phrase, adapted to various contexts. the case of doubtful renderings, alternatives are sometimes given in a footnote. xi INTRODUCTION The Greek text of this edition is in all essentials the modern vulgate. The notes under the text give occasionally the name of- the ancient critic whose reading is adopted and note the lines re- jected by the Alexandrians. Variants, if cited, are marked off by colons. vii BIBLIOGRAPHY The manuscripts of the Odyssey have been most carefully studied and classified by Mr. T. W. Allen, the results of whose studies are given in the Papers of the British School at Rome, vol. v., pp. 1-85, and briefly in his Oxford— text of the Odyssey.

They were daughters of the Titan Atlas who bore the starry dome of heaven upon his shoulders. After their brother Hyas was killed by a lion, the tear-soaked sisters were placed amongst the stars as the constellation Hyades. Hyas himself was transformed into the constellation Aquarius. The heliacal setting of their constellation in November marked the start of the rainy season in Greece, hence the star nymphs were known as "the Rainy Ones." According to Nonnus the Hyades were the same as the Lamides nurses of the god Dionysos. The Hyades were also closely identified with the Nysiades and Nymphai Naxiai, the other reputed nurses of the god. The Hyades were also connected with the Naiades Mysiai, in which their brother Hyas is apparently substituted for a lover, Hylas.

We use ordinary sta- a1111111111 a1111111111 tistical quantifiers in order to classify the network as real or fictional. We also introduce an a1111111111 analysis of communities which allows us to see how network properties shall emerge. We a1111111111 found that Odyssey can be classified both as real and fictional network. This statement is a1111111111 supported as far as mythological characters are removed, which results in a network with real properties. The community analysis indicated to us that there is a power-law relation- ship based on the max degree of each community. These results allow us to conclude that Odyssey might be an amalgam of myth and of historical facts, with communities playing a OPEN ACCESS central role.

  • The Primacy of Ownership and the Problem of Plunder in Archaic
    • The Primacy ofOwnership and the Problem ofPlunder in Archaic Greece • • • .. • By Nelson Brunsting A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University ofWellington in Fulfillment ofthe Requirements ofthe Degree of Master ofArts in Classics • School ofArt History, Classics, and Religious Studies Victoria University ofWellington 2009 Introduction The goal of this thesis is to extract from the Homeric and Hesiodic poems Archaic Greek thought on the concept of personal ownership and its interrelation with plunder. As is often the case when working with the Iliad and Odyssey, the discussion is broader in focus than is currently the norm for academic theses. In this instance a wide-ranging scope is necessary, since the purpose is to identify patterns concerning ownership and plunder in the epics. The process of extrapolating the depictions of life in the Homeric epics to the conditions and realities of Archaic Greece is achieved most effectively by ascertaining unified portrayals of concepts as opposed to minutely analyzing singular occurrences in the works. This study utilizes an historical approach to the epics, following Raaflaub, who states: If we succeed in making a plausible case for the thesis that the social background description in the epics is sufficiently consistent to reflect elements of a historical society, we will be able to use the epics – despite their poetic nature and complicated history – as valuable literary evidence to illuminate a period for which we would otherwise have to rely almost entirely on archaeological sources.1 There is no intention to discount the archaeological evidence, but, as A.G. Geddes elucidates, “archaeology is particularly unhelpful in providing evidence about social institutions and social values.”2 Similarly, while Archaic lyric poetry sheds light upon these matters, it is for the most part beyond the scope of this paper.3 The focus is first to establish a coherent view of ownership and its relation with plunder in “Homeric society”; then, if it is not materially contradicted by other Archaic 1 Raaflaub (1998), p.
