September 6, 2008 Original approval signatures are on file with the Graduate School and the University of Oregon Libraries. 111 An Abstract of the Dissertation of Melissa M. Shew for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy to be taken September 2008 Title: THE PHENOMENON OF CHANCE IN ANCIENT GREEK THOUGHT Approved: Dr. Peter Warnek This dissertation engages three facets of Greek philosophy: 1) the phenomenon of tyche (chance, fortune, happening, or luck) in Aristotle's Physics, Nicomachean Ethics, and Poetics; 2) how tyche infonns Socrates' own philosophical practice in the Platonic dialogues; and 3) how engaging tyche in these Greek texts challenges established interpretations of Greek thought in contemporary scholarship and discussion. I argue that the complex status of tyche in Aristotle's texts, when combined with its appearance in the Platonic dialogues and the framework of Greek myth and poetry (poiesis), underscores the seriousness with which the Greeks consider the role of chance in human life.

EpigrapWc Bulletin for Greek Religion 1991 (EBGR) This fifth issue of BEGR presents the publications of 1991 along with several addenda to BEGR 1987-1990. The division of the work between New York and Heidelberg, for the first time this year, caused certain logistical prablems, which can be seen in several gaps; some publications of 1991 could not be considered for this issue and will be included in the next BEGR, together with the publications of 1992. We are optimistic that in the future we will be able to accelerate the presentation of epigraphic publications. The principles explained in Kernos, 4 (991), p. 287-288 and Kernos, 7 (994), p. 287 apply also to this issue, The abbreviations used are those of L'Année Philologique and the Supplementum Bpigraphicum Graecum. We remind our readers that the bulletin is not a general bibliography on Greek religion; works devoted exclusively to religious matters (marked here with an asterisk) are presented very briefly, even if they make extensive use of inscriptions, In exceptional cases (see n° 87) we include in our bulletin studies on the Linear B tablets.

  • Romance & Astrology
    1 ASTROLOGY & LOVE – the chemistry in relationship Astrology is becoming increasingly popular. Nearly every paper and magazine devotes a column to it, sometimes a whole page or an article of several pages. Recently in the Sunday Age there was an article on ‘Roger Federer the person’, which included the learned opinions of 3 experts, the first of which was an astrologer. Many people in fact turn to their “stars” before reading anything else. And if you do a search today on the catalogue here you will find that most of the books on astrology are out on loan. The core of astrology is the study of planetary cycles and their effects on human behaviour. There are specific planets and points that we refer to when studying relationships – Venus and Mars, the Sun and Moon, Mercury, Saturn, and the Ascendant, also referred to as the Rising sign. Astrology offers fascinating insights that help us understand ourselves and other people, especially our partners. So it would be no surprise to learn that relationship questions are the most common by far, whether they are personal, family or work related. The advantage of using astrology is that we can identify potential compatibility. It reveals such things as the qualities we like, who we are attracted to and what our possible fears and level of commitment might be. CUPID / EROS – the astro-mythos connection Apart from a heart, the most recognised symbol associated with love, and especially Valentine's Day, is the image of Cupid with his bow and arrow. His name is derived from Cupido, which means "desire", but he is also known as Amor, which translates as "love".

WRBA gladly offers our articles for reprint, as long as credit is given to WRBA as the source, and the author. Please join WRBA! Go to www.WRBA.us GREEK MYTHOLOGY #17—PSYCHE AND EROS by Joy Journeay Psyche is depicted always with butterfly wings, and was a mortal princess often compared to Aphrodite for her breathtaking beauty. Behaving as she often did, Aphrodite became jealous and bid her son Eros to shoot Psyche with his arrow to make her fall in love with a vile person. Alas, Eros accidently pricks himself with his arrow and instead falls in love with Psyche. Images on our buttons depicting Psyche and Eros depict him sometimes as a beautiful young man and sometimes as a cherubic cupid. Once Eros is pricked, love abounds, though not as Aphrodite had wished. To aid the young lovers, the west wind Psyche Discovers Eros. Marble by Reinhold Begas, Zephyrus carries Psyche to Eros’ palace, 1831-1911. Altes Museum, Berlin. where Eros visits her at night and leaves before dawn, forbidding her to look at him lest he have to leave her forever. Aphrodite persuades Psyche’s sisters to query her about her secret husband’s true identity, suggesting he may be a monster. One night Psyche lights a candle to gaze upon his face, unfortunately awakening him with drips of hot wax. Psyche flees in tears, knowing he must leave her.
