Demeter and Dionysos: Connections in Literature, Cult and Iconography Kathryn Cook April 2011
Demeter and Dionysos: Connections in Literature, Cult and Iconography Kathryn Cook April 2011 Demeter and Dionysos are two gods among the Greek pantheon who are not often paired up by modern scholars; however, evidence from a number of sources alluding to myth, cult and iconography shows that there are similarities and connections observable from our present point of view, that were commented upon by contemporary authors. This paper attempts to examine the similarities and connections between Demeter and Dionysos up through the Classical period. These two deities were not always entwined in myth. Early evidence of gods in the Linear B tablets mention Dionysos as the name of a deity, but Demeter’s name does not appear in the records until later. Over the centuries (up to approximately the 6th century as mentioned in this paper), Demeter and Dionysos seem to have been depicted together in cult and in literature more and more often. In particular, the figure of Iacchos in the Eleusinian cult seems to form a bridging element between the two which grew from being a personification of the procession for Demeter, into being a Dionysos figure who participated in her cult. Literature: Demeter and Dionysos have some interesting parallels in literature. To begin with, they are both rarely mentioned in the Homeric poems, compared to other gods like Hera or Athena. In the Iliad, neither Demeter nor Dionysos plays a role as a main character. Instead they are mentioned in passing, as an example or as an element of an epic simile.1 These two divine figures are present even less often in the Odyssey, though this is perhaps a reflection of the fewer appearances of the gods overall, they are 1 Demeter: 2.696. -

1 Visual Aid: Teaching H.D.'S Imagist Poetry with the Assistance Of
Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Winter 2008 (2:1) Visual Aid: Teaching H.D.'s Imagist Poetry with the Assistance of Henri Matisse Christa Baiada, Borough of Manhattan Community College, CUNY The mantra of the modernist movement, articulated by Ezra Pound, was "make it new." Unfortunately, students don't always know how to approach "new" styles of literature, especially poetry that itself daunts many students. As we've all observed, if not experienced for ourselves, modernist poetry, upon first encounter, can be especially intimidating. In the spirit of making it new, this poetry often appears obscure in its density, perspective, and complexity. Students may look at a poem like "The Red Wheel Barrow" and ask "how is this poetry?" Of course, this is precisely the question we want to work through with them, so this is good. On the other hand, the initial discomfort of students with modernism can develop into a resistance hard to tackle. This is a challenge I found especially difficult to address in my early attempts to teach the poems of H.D. at a small, suburban music college in Long Island, NY. For my first lesson at the start of a unit on modernism in an undergraduate 200-level, Introduction to Literature class, I would devote the entire period to H.D. because I believe that her work beautifully encapsulates many of the principles of modernism laid out by Pound in his seminal essay "A Retrospect." Though several of my students have been fans, or even writers, of poetry and most had artistic sensibilities, many were disconcerted in their first encounter with modernist poetry via H.D., and the malaise they felt would linger in the following weeks as we read additional modernist poets. -

H.D., Daughter of Helen: Mythology as Actuality Abstract For H.D., classical mythology was an essential means of expression, first acquired in childhood and repossessed throughout her life. H.D.’s extensive output of poems, memoirs, and novels is marked by a pervasive Hellenism which evolved in response to the changing conditions of her life and art, but remained her constant idiom. She saw herself as reliving myth, and she used myth as a medium through which to order her own experience and to rethink inherited ideas. If myth served H.D. as a resource for self-understanding and artistic expression, H.D. herself has served subsequent poets, critics, and scholars as a model for the writer’s ability to reclaim myth, to create something new and personal out of ancient shared traditions.

1 Mystery Cults and Visual Language in Graeco-Roman Antiquity: an Introduction
1 Mystery Cults and Visual Language in Graeco-Roman Antiquity: An Introduction Nicole Belayche and Francesco Massa Like the attendants at the rites, who stand outside at the doors […] but never pass within. Dio Chrysostomus … Behold, I have related things about which you must remain in igno- rance, though you have heard them. Apuleius1 ∵ These two passages from two authors, one writing in Greek, the other in Latin, set the stage of this book on Mystery cults in Visual Representation in Graeco-Roman Antiquity. In this introductory chapter we begin with a broad and problematiz- ing overview of mystery cults, stressing the original features of “mysteries” in the Graeco-Roman world – as is to be expected in this collection, and as is necessary when dealing with this complex phenomenon. Thereafter we will address our specific question: the visual language surrounding the mysteries. It is a complex and daunting challenge to search for ancient mysteries,2 whether represented textually or visually, whether we are interested in their 1 Dio Chrysostomus, Discourses, 36, 33: ὅμοιον εἶναι τοῖς ἔξω περὶ θύρας ὑπηρέταις τῶν τελετῶν […] οὐδέ ποτ’ ἔνδον παριοῦσιν (transl.

PRESSEMITTEILUNG 22.05.2015 the GET up KIDS Kommen Im
FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 22.05.2015 THE GET UP KIDS kommen im August nach Köln THE GET UP KIDS sind wieder da. Vier Jahre hat es gedauert seit dem letzten Album „There Are Rules“ (das bekanntlich mit den schönen Worten „Das ist sehr gut“ begann) und den Auftritten bei uns. Jetzt haben Matt Pryor, Rob Pope, sein Bruder Ryan, Jim Suptic und James Dewees bestätigt, dass sie wieder gemeinsam unterwegs sein werden. Aber längere Pausen ist man ja gewohnt von den Emo- Helden aus Kansas City. Einerseits wollten auch all die anderen tollen Projekte wie Reggie And The Full Effect, Spoon, My Chemical Romance oder The New Amsterdams, in die die Bandmitglieder verstrickt sind oder waren, vorangetrieben werden. Und natürlich galt es auch, sich an Matt Pryors Soloalben satt zu hören. Jetzt haben THE GET UP KIDS bestätigt, dass 2015 wieder allen gemeinsam gehören soll. Zum Anlass des 20-jährigen Bestehens der Band haben sich die alten Helden wieder zusammengetan und gehen auf Tour, die sie in Deutschland exklusiv nach Köln führt. Das wird eine der seltenen Gelegenheiten sein, dass man die wunderbaren Hooks live erleben darf, die sofort in jeden Song hineinziehen und dieser fast schon „Wohlfühl“- Sound, der sich um den Hörer legt wie eine Decke. Auch weil die Jungs inzwischen auf eine lange und vielfältige Karriere zurückblicken können, weil sie so viel unterschiedliche Musik gespielt haben, weil sie viel gemeinsam und viel getrennt erlebt haben, wird der Jubiläumsauftritt der GET UP KIDS ein absoluter Höhepunkt werden. -

John Kavulich, senior policy adviser [corrected president] at the U.S.-Cuba Trade & Economic Council, told Inside U.S. Trade that despite constant pressure from the business community, the Obama Administration, in these regulatory changes, did not make meaningful progress on several key business priorities. During an Oct. 14 conference call on the regulatory changes, a senior administration official said “we're mindful of the clock. And this is certainly likely the last significant tranche of changes. But there are always additional refinements that we can do to our policies, as my Treasury and Commerce colleagues know well." For Kavulich, that is something that “is not what the United States business community wants to hear.” Similarly, attorney and Cuba analyst Robert Muse describes the latest regulatory changes as short of what was expected and lacking significance overall. The business community’s top four priorities, according to Kavulich, are: expanding imports of Cuban agriculture products; substantive options to expand U.S. -

Arcl0017 Greek Art and Architecture Ucl - Institute of Archaeology
ARCL0017 GREEK ART AND ARCHITECTURE UCL - INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY Coordinator: Dr. Eva Mol Office hours: weekly chat sessions Wed 12-1pm or by appointment between Mon-Wed 9-17pm. Email: [email protected]; Year 2/3 BA Module, 15 credits Please see the online IoA Student Handbook for instructions on coursework submission, IoA referencing guidelines and marking criteria, as well as UCL policies on penalties for late submission. ARCL0017 1. OVERVIEW&SCHEDULE Introduction This module introduces Greek art and architecture in the period 2500-50 BC. In the context of a broad chronological survey, the focus is on three main themes: (1) the relationship between Greek art and society (2) addressing current problems in Greek art history and contemporary society, and (3) extensive training in visual analysis and the different lenses to look at Greek art. This year, as the course will be taught remotely, it will consist of different modes of online teaching that contain individual creativity, group fun, and lively discussions using famous objects and buildings belonging to the so-called ‘Greek canon’, and lesser known or even excluded object categories that will expand our idea of what Greek art is. Normally, we would go to the British Museum together, and look at all the incredible objects up close. This is not possible for the semester, but that does not mean we cannot discuss or study them. In fact, teaching the module online will provide us with the great opportunity to look beyond the British Museum (or any museum for that matter) and the Classical canon, and discuss together what Greek Art is right now, and how make it more relevant in the future. -
