  • The Conflict of Obligations in Euripides' Alcestis
    GOLDFARB, BARRY E., The Conflict of Obligations in Euripides' "Alcestis" , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 33:2 (1992:Summer) p.109 The Conflict of Obligations in Euripides' Alcestis Barry E. Goldfarb 0UT ALCESTIS A. M. Dale has remarked that "Perhaps no f{other play of Euripides except the Bacchae has provoked so much controversy among scholars in search of its 'real meaning'."l I hope to contribute to this controversy by an examination of the philosophical issues underlying the drama. A radical tension between the values of philia and xenia con­ stitutes, as we shall see, a major issue within the play, with ramifications beyond the Alcestis and, in fact, beyond Greek tragedy in general: for this conflict between two seemingly autonomous value-systems conveys a stronger sense of life's limitations than its possibilities. I The scene that provides perhaps the most critical test for an analysis of Alcestis is the concluding one, the 'happy ending'. One way of reading the play sees this resolution as ironic. According to Wesley Smith, for example, "The spectators at first are led to expect that the restoration of Alcestis is to depend on a show of virtue by Admetus. And by a fine stroke Euripides arranges that the restoration itself is the test. At the crucial moment Admetus fails the test.'2 On this interpretation 1 Euripides, Alcestis (Oxford 1954: hereafter 'Dale') xviii. All citations are from this editon. 2 W. D.

  • The Open-Mouthed Condition: Odysseus’ Transition from Warrior to Ruler
    Sund 1 The Open-Mouthed Condition: Odysseus’ Transition from Warrior to Ruler By S. Asher Sund, M.A. Every text has a background. To know where one stands not only in his or her story but also in relation to the subtext is to know, in essence, under which god one consciously lives. This (albeit simplified) process of post-Jungian archetypal psychology of seeing through any experience to the god at core might be equally understood in terms of figurative language, and most particularly metaphor. Metaphor in Greek means “to transfer” or to “carry over” and when we get stuck in any one story (or on any one side of the sentence), we miss the subtexts (sub- gods), and lose our ability to make effective transitions. Thus we find our hero, Odysseus, staring out at sea, trapped on the paradisiacal island of Ogygia with the queenly nymph Calypso (“cover”). The problem here is not with Calypso— Odysseus concedes her beauty above all others, including his long-waiting Penelope—but with her promise of immortality. Odysseus’ epic prototype Gilgamesh, in questing after immortality, will meet up for a beer with Siduri, the tavern-keeper goddess at the edge of the world, who will tell him to give up on the possibility of immortality and to live life to the fullest every day—the best any mortal can hope for. Unlike Gilgamesh, Odysseus will find immortality, but the larger truth—more so than Siduri’s carpe diem—is that immortality is a stuck place, too, if not the most stuck place of all.

B. Yeats and his wife George (née Hyde Lees) is an important guide to the creative work produced by the Irish poet ater their marriage in 1917. heir unusual collaboration illuminates the esoteric philosophy expounded in the two very diferent versions of Yeats’s book A Vision (1925 and 1937). It is also theoretically interesting in itself, not only in the early period when the automatic experiments produced the “system” expounded in A Vision, but also in the 1920s and 1930s, when the Yeatses’ relationship had matured into an astonishingly productive mature partnership. his essay analyses symbols the Yeatses themselves used to conceive of their joint work, particularly the symbolic structures and constructed selves of the collaborators, and particularly in the later period. he authors’ own terminology and understanding shed light on their joint authorship; that collaboration produced not only texts but also meaning, as can be seen by the example of the poem “Michael Robartes and the Dancer.” Keywords: W.

  • Not the Same Old Story: Dante's Re-Telling of the Odyssey
    religions Article Not the Same Old Story: Dante’s Re-Telling of The Odyssey David W. Chapman English Department, Samford University, Birmingham, AL 35209, USA; [email protected] Received: 10 January 2019; Accepted: 6 March 2019; Published: 8 March 2019 Abstract: Dante’s Divine Comedy is frequently taught in core curriculum programs, but the mixture of classical and Christian symbols can be confusing to contemporary students. In teaching Dante, it is helpful for students to understand the concept of noumenal truth that underlies the symbol. In re-telling the Ulysses’ myth in Canto XXVI of The Inferno, Dante reveals that the details of the narrative are secondary to the spiritual truth he wishes to convey. Dante changes Ulysses’ quest for home and reunification with family in the Homeric account to a failed quest for knowledge without divine guidance that results in Ulysses’ destruction. Keywords: Dante Alighieri; The Divine Comedy; Homer; The Odyssey; Ulysses; core curriculum; noumena; symbolism; higher education; pedagogy When I began teaching Dante’s Divine Comedy in the 1990s as part of our new Cornerstone Curriculum, I had little experience in teaching classical texts. My graduate preparation had been primarily in rhetoric and modern British literature, neither of which included a study of Dante. Over the years, my appreciation of Dante has grown as I have guided, Vergil-like, our students through a reading of the text. And they, Dante-like, have sometimes found themselves lost in a strange wood of symbols and allegories that are remote from their educational background. What seems particularly inexplicable to them is the intermingling of actual historical characters and mythological figures.

The questions in this resource have been taken from the H408/11 World of the Hero specimen question paper, which is available on the OCR website. The answers in this resource have been written by students in Year 12. They are supported by an examiner commentary. Please note that this resource is provided for advice and guidance only and does not in any way constitute an indication of grade boundaries or endorsed answers. Whilst a senior examiner has provided a possible mark/level for each response, when marking these answers in a live series the mark a response would get depends on the whole process of standardisation, which considers the big picture of the year’s scripts. Therefore the marks/levels awarded here should be considered to be only an estimation of what would be awarded.

  • Eris and Epos Composition, Competition, and the Domestication of Strife
    Eris and Epos Composition, Competition, and the Domestication of Strife Joel P. Christensen Brandeis University [email protected] Abstract This article examines the development of the theme of eris in Hesiod and Homer. Start- ing from the relationship between the destructive strife in the Theogony (225) and the two versions invoked in the Works and Days (11–12), I argue that considering the two forms of strife as echoing zero and positive sum games helps us to identify the cultural and compositional force of eris as cooperative competition. After establishing eris as a compositional theme from the perspective of oral poetics, I then argue that it develops from the perspective of cosmic history, that is, from the creation of the universe in Hes- iod’s Theogony through the Homeric epics and into its double definition in the Works and Days.To explore and emphasize how this complementarity is itself a manifestation of eris, I survey its deployment in our major extant epic poems. Keywords eris – competition – conflict – poetics – rivalry In Cypria fr. 1, Zeus fans “the flames of the great strife of the Trojan war / to lighten the [earth’s] burden with death” (ῥιπίσσας πολέμου μεγάλην ἔριν Ἰλιακοῖο, 5).* Similarly, in Hesiod (fr. 204 M-W), when strife divides the gods at the birth of Hermione—“all the gods were of two minds / because of the strife” (πάν- τες δὲ θεοὶ δίχα θυμὸν ἔθεντο / ἐξ ἔριδος, 94–95)—Zeus hastens the destruction of the Heroes: “And then he hastened to extinguish the great race of human * A version of this article was given at the Heartland Graduate Conference in Ancient Stud- ies at the University of Missouri in 2015.

Xenia Perverted: Guest-host Relationships in Apuleius' Metamorphoses This article is available in Discentes: https://repository.upenn.edu/discentesjournal/vol1/iss1/7 Xenia Perverted: Guest-host Relationships in Apuleius' Metamorphoses By Noreen Sit The relationships between guests and hosts in Apuleius' Metamorphoses are interesting because of their parallels and contrasts with similar relationships in epic. Much like Homer's tale of the wandering Odysseus, Apuleius' novel follows the adventures of Lucius who encounters many lands and people during his travels. In some cases, Lucius is the guest; at other times, he is an observer. Xenia appears in the Metamorphoses in various manifestations, but it is frequently violated. Apuleius takes the familiar theme of xenia and, by perverting it, challenges the tradition for his audience's entertainment. Xenia is the term that refers to the relationship between guest and host. Good xenia is characterized by a host's willingness to accommodate a guest, no matter the circumstances, and a guest's promise that he will return the favor.

  • The Arms of Achilles: Re-Exchange in the Iliad
    The Arms of Achilles: Re-Exchange in the Iliad by Eirene Seiradaki A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Classics University of Toronto © Copyright by Eirene Seiradaki (2014) “The Arms of Achilles: Re-Exchange in the Iliad ” Eirene Seiradaki Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This dissertation offers an interpretation of the re-exchange of the first set of Achilles’ arms in the Iliad by gift, loan, capture, and re-capture. Each transfer of the arms is examined in relation to the poem’s dramatic action, characterisation, and representation of social institutions and ethical values. Modern anthropological and economic approaches are employed in order to elucidate standard elements surrounding certain types of exchange. Nevertheless, the study primarily involves textual analysis of the Iliadic narratives recounting the circulation-process of Achilles’ arms, with frequent reference to the general context of Homeric exchange and re-exchange. The origin of the armour as a wedding gift to Peleus for his marriage to Thetis and its consequent bequest to Achilles signifies it as the hero’s inalienable possession and marks it as the symbol of his fate in the Iliad . Similarly to the armour, the spear, a gift of Cheiron to Peleus, is later inherited by his son. Achilles’ own bond to Cheiron makes this weapon another inalienable possession of the hero. As the centaur’s legacy to his pupil, the spear symbolises Achilles’ awareness of his coming death. In the present time of the Iliad , ii Achilles lends his armour to Patroclus under conditions that indicate his continuing ownership over his panoply and ensure the safe use of the divine weapons by his friend.
