To which is PREFIXED, A DISSERTATION ON THE HISTORICAL PROOFS OF THE SCYTHIAN ORIGIN OF THE GREEKS. By JOHN JAMIESON, D.D. F.R.S.E. & F.S.A.S.

ANDERson & Co.; AND oli PHANT, waugh, & INNES, EDINBURGH. i. 1814. P. R. E. F. A. C. E. This work, like some others which the author has published, owes its existence to a circumstance merely accidental. Having discovered various links of connexion, to which he had not formerly adverted, between the languages of the most po lished nation of antiquity, and that of a people generally reckoned among the most uncivilized; and having, for his own satisfaction, prosecuted the investigation to a considerable length; he presumes, that it will not be deemed totally un important to the interests of literature, that he should lay the result of his inquiries before the public. In all disquisitions of this kind, a wide field is necessarily opened up to fancy; and it may be thought, that at times it has not been restrained within proper bounds. The objects, which seem alear to one, to the eye of another may be in a 2 iv volved in obscurity. The author begs, however, that the reader would so far indulge him with the exercise of his candour, as not to form a judgment of the work from any detached article, but dis passionately to consider the combined evidence. Although himself satisfied, that the proof, ari sing from a comparison of the languages, is suffi cient to demonstrate the national affinity of the Greeks and Romans to the Scythians; to remove, as far as possible, every ground of hesitation with others, he has prefixed a Dissertation on the historical evidence which bears on the same point. The author meant to have added, as a conclu -sion to the work, a list of Greek and Latin verbs and nouns, compared with those terms, in the languages of the north, which are evidently al lied to them. But as he has not had leisure to arrange these, he finds it necessary to postpone this part of his plan. If what is now presented to the public meet with a favourable reception, he may be encouraged some time hence to give these as a supplementary illustration. C O N T E N T S.

With the generality of mankind, a name is of far greater weight, in the scale of evidence, than they are willing to admit, or can allow themselves to imagine. It does not merely cast the balance when wavering; but is often found, on strict exami nation, to be the only thing that presses down the preponderating scale. With the name of Greeks, or of Romans, we have been accustomed from our early years to associate the idea of everything great, and wise, and excellent. Hence, even when arrived at maturity, we are extremely re luctant to acknowledge the claims of any other people to priority in science or in the arts; espe cially if they were stigmatized as barbarous by Q. t 2 ON THE ORIGIN those nations that claimed wisdom and refinement as exclusively their own. We are scarcely dis posed to give such a people precedence even as to national antiquity, although evidently entitled to this distinction from the incontestible proofs which appear on the page of history; but

  • Kretan Cult and Customs, Especially in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods: a Religious, Social, and Political Study
    i Kretan cult and customs, especially in the Classical and Hellenistic periods: a religious, social, and political study Thesis submitted for degree of MPhil Carolyn Schofield University College London ii Declaration I, Carolyn Schofield, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been acknowledged in the thesis. iii Abstract Ancient Krete perceived itself, and was perceived from outside, as rather different from the rest of Greece, particularly with respect to religion, social structure, and laws. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the bases for these perceptions and their accuracy. Krete’s self-perception is examined in the light of the account of Diodoros Siculus (Book 5, 64-80, allegedly based on Kretan sources), backed up by inscriptions and archaeology, while outside perceptions are derived mainly from other literary sources, including, inter alia, Homer, Strabo, Plato and Aristotle, Herodotos and Polybios; in both cases making reference also to the fragments and testimonia of ancient historians of Krete. While the main cult-epithets of Zeus on Krete – Diktaios, associated with pre-Greek inhabitants of eastern Krete, Idatas, associated with Dorian settlers, and Kretagenes, the symbol of the Hellenistic koinon - are almost unique to the island, those of Apollo are not, but there is good reason to believe that both Delphinios and Pythios originated on Krete, and evidence too that the Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic and Dionysiac rites had much in common with early Kretan practice. The early institutionalization of pederasty, and the abduction of boys described by Ephoros, are unique to Krete, but the latter is distinct from rites of initiation to manhood, which continued later on Krete than elsewhere, and were associated with different gods.

  • Ritual Cleaning-Up of the City: from the Lupercalia to the Argei*
    RITUAL CLEANING-UP OF THE CITY: FROM THE LUPERCALIA TO THE ARGEI* This paper is not an analysis of the fine aspects of ritual, myth and ety- mology. I do not intend to guess the exact meaning of Luperci and Argei, or why the former sacrificed a dog and the latter were bound hand and foot. What I want to examine is the role of the festivals of the Lupercalia and the Argei in the functioning of the Roman community. The best-informed among ancient writers were convinced that these were purification cere- monies. I assume that the ancients knew what they were talking about and propose, first, to establish the nature of the ritual cleanliness of the city, and second, see by what techniques the two festivals achieved that goal. What, in the perception of the Romans themselves, normally made their city unclean? What were the ordinary, repetitive sources of pollution in pre-Imperial Rome, before the concept of the cura Urbis was refined? The answer to this is provided by taboos and restrictions on certain sub- stances, and also certain activities, in the City. First, there is a rule from the Twelve Tables with Cicero’s curiously anachronistic comment: «hominem mortuum», inquit lex in duodecim, «in urbe ne sepelito neve urito», credo vel propter ignis periculum (De leg. II 58). Secondly, we have the edict of the praetor L. Sentius C.f., known from three inscrip- tions dating from the beginning of the first century BC1: L. Sentius C. f. pr(aetor) de sen(atus) sent(entia) loca terminanda coer(avit).

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

    "A MIGHTY MAZE! BUT NOT WITHOUT A PLAN" COSMOLOGICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF THE LABYRINTH Vahtang Hark Shervashidze, Master of Arts <Hons. l, Science and Technology Studies, 1989 A.H.D.G. Expa.tia.te free o'er all this scene of Man; A mighty maze! but not without a plan; A viId, where weeds and flowers promiscuous shoot j Or garden, tempting with forbidden fruit. Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man, 1,5-8. I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my know­ ledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text. Vahtang Mark Shervashidze 1 ABSTRACT The history of the labyrinth in Western thought is intimately connected with the development of Christianity and the philosophical movements associated with it. Roughly speaking, the labyrinth has passed through three periods of development. First, there were the Minoan and Greek sources of the Theseus cycle, which are the foundation of 1abyrinth-1 ore. The Greeks also provided the analogical structure which allowed the labyrinth to expand its repertoire of metaphor beyond mythology into literature. Secondly, perhaps due to the renascence of classical literature in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the labyrinth enjoyed some popularity in France and Italy. Here we must distinguish between purely conceptual, literary labyrinths and the artifactual examples which dot cathedral and church floors across the lie de France and Italy.

He is the god of sky and thunder in Greek mythology. Zeus is etymologically cognate with and, under Hellenic influence, became particularly closely identified with Roman Jupiter. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. In most traditions he is married to Hera, although, at the oracle of Dodona, his consort is Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Aphrodite by Dione.[5] He is known for his erotic escapades.

WOJKIEWICZ A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in History in the College of Arts & Humanities and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, FL Spring Term, 2018 Thesis Chair: Edward Dandrow ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of local and dominant Network Systems on the socio- economic development of the southern Black Sea colonies: Heraclea Pontica, Sinope, and Tios during the Archaic and Classical Period. I argue that archeological and literary evidence indicate that local (populations such as the Mariandynoi, Syrians, Caucones, Paphlagonians, and Tibarenians) and dominant external (including: Miletus, Megara/Boeotia, Athens, and Persia) socio-economic Network systems developed and shaped these three colonies, and helped explain their role in the overarching Black Sea Network.
