    The Curious Case of Erysichthon A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Elizabeth Torresson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: Nita Krevans December 2019 © Elizabeth Torresson 2019 Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the department for their support and especially the members of my committee: Nita Krevans, Susanna Ferlito, Jackie Murray, Christopher Nappa, and Melissa Harl Sellew. The seeds of this dissertation were planted in my senior year of college when Jackie Murray spread to me with her contagious enthusiasm a love of Hellenistic poetry. Without her genuine concern for my success and her guidance in those early years, I would not be where I am today. I also owe a shout-out to my undergraduate professors, especially Robin Mitchell-Boyask and Daniel Tompkins, who inspired my love of Classics. At the University of Minnesota, Nita Krevans took me under her wing and offered both emotional and intellectual support at various stages along the way. Her initial suggestions, patience, and encouragement allowed this dissertation to take the turn that it did. I am also very grateful to Christopher Nappa and Melissa Harl Sellew for their unflagging encouragement and kindness over the years. It was in Melissa’s seminar that an initial piece of this dissertation was begun. My heartfelt thanks also to Susanna Ferlito, who graciously stepped in at the last minute and offered valuable feedback, and to Susan Noakes, for offering independent studies so that I could develop my interest in Italian language and literature.

  • Theopompus' Homer
    Haverford College Haverford Scholarship Faculty Publications Classics 2020 Theopompus’ Homer: Paraepic in Old and Middle Comedy Matthew C. Farmer Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.haverford.edu/classics_facpubs THEOPOMPUS’ HOMER: PARAEPIC IN OLD AND MIDDLE COMEDY MATTHEW C. FARMER T IS A STRIKING FACT that, out of the twenty titles preserved for the late fifth- and early fourth-century comic poet Theopompus, three directly reference I Homer’s Odyssey: Odysseus, Penelope, and Sirens. In one fragment (F 34) preserved without title but probably belonging to one of these plays, Odysseus himself is the speaking character; he quotes the text of the Odyssey, approv- ingly.1 Another fragment (F 31), evidently drawn from a comedy with a more contemporary focus, mocks a politician in a run of Homeric hexameters. Theo- pompus was, it seems, a comic poet with a strong interest in paraepic comedy, that is, in comedy that generates its humor by parodying, quoting, or referring to Homeric epic poetry. In composing paraepic comedy, Theopompus was operating within a long tra- dition. Among the earliest known Homeric parodies, Hipponax provides our first certain example, a fragment in which the poet invokes the muse and deploys Homeric language to mock a glutton (F 128). The Margites, a poem composed in a mixture of hexameters and trimeters recounting the story of a certain fool in marked Homeric language, may have been composed as early as the seventh cen- tury BCE, but was certainly known in Athens by the fifth or fourth.2 In the late

First thanks must go to my supervisor, Pramit Chaudhuri. His patience, guidance, and keen eye for detail have been essential for the successful completion of this project. Each word in this dissertation has benefitted from his thoughtful consideration. He has consistently challenged me to think about literature in more creative and deeper ways, and this dissertation — to say nothing of my scholarly perspective as a whole — is much the better for it. I also thank Ayelet Haimson Lushkov. Apart from her characteristically insightful commentary on this project, I will always be thankful that she took me under her wing while I was a first-year graduate student and assured me that it was, in fact, okay to become a Latinist. Andrew Riggsby, Alison Keith, and Neil Coffee provided invaluable insights and feedback on this project.

  • Political Parthenoi: the Social and Political Significance of Female Performance in Archaic Greece
    Political Parthenoi: The Social and Political Significance of Female Performance in Archaic Greece Submitted by James William Smith to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, February 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. i Abstract This thesis will explore how social and political conditions in archaic Greece affected the composition of poetry for female choral performance. My primary source material will be the poetry of Alcman and Sappho. I examine the evidence suggesting that poems by both Alcman and Sappho commented on political issues, using this as a basis to argue that women in archaic Greece may have had a more vocal public presence that has previously been imagined. Rather than viewing female performance as a means of discussing purely feminine themes or reinforcing the idea of a disempowered female gender, I argue that the poetry of Alman and Sappho gives parthenoi an authoritative public voice to comment on issues in front of the watching community. Part of this authority is derived from the social value of parthenoi, who can act as economically and socially valuable points of exchange between communities, but I shall also be looking at how traditional elements of female performance genre were used to enhance female authority in archaic Sparta and Lesbos.

  • On Space, Place, and Form in Herodotus' Histories
    Histos () – ON SPACE, PLACE, AND FORM IN HERODOTUS’ HISTORIES * Abstract: This article reflects on how our own technological developments can help us see Herodotus’ archetype of historical inquiry in a new light. It explores various aspects of place in the Histories —as spaces that are lived, constructed, and relational—to show how and why the idea of place can be such a powerful means for linking information and understanding the past. In discussing the role of place in structuring Herodotus’ narrative, it argues that the potential for linking is afforded by the new prose medium. By virtue of those linkages, Herodotus’ account differs in its spatial configurations from earlier, oral-based narratives. Keywords : analogy, cartography, digital, Herodotus, hodology, linked open data, map, place, space, writing Had to get the train / From Potsdamer Platz / You never knew that / That I could do that / Just walking the dead David Bowie, Where Are We Now? hat with one thing and another, we live in interesting times. 1 The last decade or so has witnessed the greatest economic crash since the s, civil war on Mediterranean shores, fascists in the US W 2 Capitol, and the upheaval of a global pandemic. Add to this the revolution at home, where, thanks to modern technology and social media, a bedroom is a world stage. 3 Perhaps Bowie really was holding the universe together. 4 Place matters in all this. To home in on the past year: COVID - has revealed fundamental disparities in global responses in spite of the extent to which we are interconnected. We are not (and never have been) in this together.
