X Xanthippe (Ξανθίππη) Daughter of Dorus Who Was Killed by Aetolus X Xanthippe (Ξανθίππη) Daughter of Dorus who was killed by Aetolus. She married Pleuron, the son of her father's murderer, and had by him a son *Agenor and three daughters. [Apollodorus 1.7.7] Xanthus (Ξάνθος). Xanthus and Balius were the immortal horses of Achilles (the names mean 'bay' and 'dapple'), born to Zephyr, the west wind, by the Harpy Podarge, and a gift of the gods to Achilles' father Peleus on his wedding to Thetis. The horses were involved in their owner's suffering, weeping at the death of Patroclus, and for this were pitied by Zeus. In a remarkable passage in the Iliad Xanthus is given the power of human speech by Hera, and with bowed head explains to his master the part played by gods and fate in the fighting and in Achilles' own imminent death; for this Xanthus is struck dumb by the Erinyes for over-reaching the limits of divine law. [Homer Il 16.145-54, 17.426-58, 19.392-424] Xuthus (Ξοῦθος). Son of Hellen, brother to Dorus and Aeolus, and ancestor of the Achaeans and Ionians through Achaeus and *Ion. Hellene's land was divided among his three sons on his death, but the younger two turned against Xuthus on the grounds that he had misappropriated the inheritance, and he fled to Athens. There he was held in high regard for assisting Athens in their war against Chalcedon in Euboea, married *Creusa, daughter of Erechtheus, king of Athens, and was the arbiter on the king's successor. He decided on Cecrops, and the other sons of Erechtheus accordingly drove him out. He retired to Aegialus in Achaea with Achaeus and Ion, where he died. Euripides' tragedy, in which the principal characters are Xuthus, Creusa and Ion, has a different narrative. There Xuthus himself succeeds Erechtheus, and is childless, but unknown to him his wife Creusa had been raped by the god Apollo and borne a son, which was abandoned. After a series of misunderstandings, it is revealed that Ion, the young attendant at the temple, supposedly without family, is the child of Apollo and Creusa; he is adopted by Xuthus and succeeds him as ruler of Athens. [Apollodorus 1.7.3, 9.4, Euripides Ion; Pausanias 7.1.1-2] .

Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles authored by an ensemble of some of the world’s most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Part I provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. Part II looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity, in literature, feminist scholarship, and cinema, rounds out the work in Part III. The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but also to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition.

  • Studies in Early Mediterranean Poetics and Cosmology
    The Ruins of Paradise: Studies in Early Mediterranean Poetics and Cosmology by Matthew M. Newman A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Richard Janko, Chair Professor Sara L. Ahbel-Rappe Professor Gary M. Beckman Associate Professor Benjamin W. Fortson Professor Ruth S. Scodel Bind us in time, O Seasons clear, and awe. O minstrel galleons of Carib fire, Bequeath us to no earthly shore until Is answered in the vortex of our grave The seal’s wide spindrift gaze toward paradise. (from Hart Crane’s Voyages, II) For Mom and Dad ii Acknowledgments I fear that what follows this preface will appear quite like one of the disorderly monsters it investigates. But should you find anything in this work compelling on account of its being lucid, know that I am not responsible. Not long ago, you see, I was brought up on charges of obscurantisme, although the only “terroristic” aspects of it were self- directed—“Vous avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot.”1 But I’ve been rehabilitated, or perhaps, like Aphrodite in Iliad 5 (if you buy my reading), habilitated for the first time, to the joys of clearer prose. My committee is responsible for this, especially my chair Richard Janko and he who first intervened, Benjamin Fortson. I thank them. If something in here should appear refined, again this is likely owing to the good taste of my committee. And if something should appear peculiarly sensitive, empathic even, then it was the humanity of my committee that enabled, or at least amplified, this, too.

    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

  • An Apology of Euripides: Defending the Poets
    [Expositions 11.1 (2017) 118–137] Expositions (online) ISSN: 1747–5376 An Apology of Euripides: Defending the Poets MARLENE K. SOKOLON Concordia University One of the main prosecutors of Socrates on charges of impiety and corruption in 399 B.C.E. was the poet Miletus. In Plato’s version of his Apology (22b), Socrates defends himself by pointing out that poets are merely inspired and their audiences are better at explaining their poems.1 This critique of poetry is found and developed across Plato’s corpus, especially in the Republic (604b– 608d) where Socrates ends the ancient quarrel by exiling the poets from the city and philosophic education. This banishment, however, unleashed a new quarrel as to the meaning of Socrates’ critique of poetry, especially in light of his generous use of poetic elements in Plato’s dialogues. Generally, this debate has examined whether Socrates’ critique is ironic from the philosopher’s perspective. In contrast, this analysis takes up Socrates’ explicit challenge in the Republic (607e) for a defender (prostatēs) to give apology of poetry demonstrating that it is not simply pleasant but beneficial to regimes and human life. Offering two of Euripides’ plays in defense—Suppliant Women and Ion—the article investigates Euripides’ poetic contribution to understanding two enduring questions of political philosophy: what is the best regime; and what is the role of myth in political origin. Importantly, Euripides provides a serious account of such questions and reveals that a poetic education may be not only beneficial, but essential in any democratic regime. Socrates’ Critique of the Poets In Plato’s Apology, Socrates’ critique of the poets appears in the context of his defense against his old accusers.

  • NARRATIVE SETTING and EURIPIDES' ION Setting May Be
    CHAPTER TWO NARRATIVE SETTING AND EURIPIDES' ION Setting may be used most often to introduce the traditional tales of tragedy and, more obliquely, the poets' interest in them, but in some few extant plays spatial definition is central to and insepa­ rable from the poet's construction of his meaning in the whole of the tragedy. In the final two plays of Sophocles, discussed in the previous chapter and subsequently in Chapter Six, 1 the physical context of the dramatic action is used to define evocatively the character and situation of the protagonist not only at the plays' beginnings but throughout. The same might be said of the harsh environment of Prometheus' punishment in the Prometheus Bound, or of Thetis' shrine in the Andromache, or of Thebes and Mt. Cithaeron in the Bacchae. 2 In these tragedies, in different ways, the verbal definition of setting is extensive and crucial to the meaningful structure of the tragedy and must be evaluated as part of a larger reading of the tragedy as both a verbal and a performa­ tive text. In order to explore some of the extensive and diverse uses of setting in tragedy, I focus in this chapter on a single play, Euripides' Ion, in which the significance of setting for the thema­ tic development of the play includes but extends beyond the intro­ ductory naming either of Delphi, the play's geographic locale, or of Athens, which provides a larger context to the events at Delphi enacted in the play. Examination of the ways in which setting is used in this drama will allow fuller detailing of the expressive capacity of setting as a device of drama and provide a useful intro­ duction to the discussions that follow of cult settings in suppli­ cation scenes, discussed in Chapter Three, and of the character­ defining antinomy of home and not-home discussed in Part Two.

The Grammar 1) Hdt. 1.56.1-2: ...μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐφρόντιζε ἱστορέων τοὺς ἂν Ἑλλήνων δυνατωτάτους ​ ​ ἐόντας προσκτήσαιτο φίλους, [2] ἱστορέων δὲ εὕρισκε Λακεδαιμονίους καὶ Ἀθηναίους προέχοντας τοὺς μὲν τοῦ Δωρικοῦ γένεος τοὺς δὲ τοῦ Ἰωνικοῦ. ταῦτα γὰρ ἦν τὰ ​ προκεκριμένα, ἐόντα τὸ ἀρχαῖον τὸ μὲν Πελασγικὸν τὸ δὲ Ἑλληνικὸν ἔθνος. καὶ τὸ μὲν οὐδαμῇ κω ἐξεχώρησε, τὸ δὲ πολυπλάνητον κάρτα. “Afterward, [Croesus] took care to inquire whom of the Greeks, being the most powerful, he should acquire as his friends. He made the inquiry and found that the Spartans were best of the Doric race and the Athenians the best of the Ionic. For these races were preeminent, the first being of old a Pelasgic tribe and the other a Hellenic one. And the first has not yet left their home for anywhere, while the other is very much a wandering tribe.” 2) Raymond Weil is the only scholar to read the lines as I propose: “Les Athéniens sont un ‘ethnos’ héllenique qui fait partie du ‘génos’ ionien, les Lacédémoniens un ‘ethnos’ pélasgique à rattacher au ‘génos’ dorien.” - Weil (1960) 385. II. Arguments for Common Translation ➢ Dorian invasion = πολυπλάνητον ➢ Athenian authochthony = οὐδαμῇ κω ἐξεχώρησε ➢ Herodotus ties Athenians or Ionians to Pelasgians 3 times. ○ 1.57, 7.94-95 (both qualified), 8.44 (back when all of Greece was Pel.) ➢ Dorians are Hellenes par excellence. ​ III. Why Pelasgian Dorians are possible ➢ Dorians did travel, but no more than Ionians.
