Kernos Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2012 (EBGR 2012) 1 Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2012 (EBGR 2012) Angelos Chaniotis 1 25 years ago I took the initiative to create the Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion. Together with Eftychia Stavrianopoulou (EBGR 1990–1991 and 1993/94–1996) and Ioannis Mylonopoulos (EBGR 1996–2005), we have summarized ca. 5,650 epigraphic publications, corpora, and editions of inscriptions, as well as books and articles on Greek religion that heavily rely on the epigraphic evidence. In the most recent issues, I have been placing more emphasis on the presentation of new finds and new readings, restorations, and interpretations rather than on a comprehensive presentation of publications that are dedicated to religious phenomena and adduce inscriptions. I will continue this practice in the future issues, in order to make the timely presentation of new finds possible. 2 The 25th issue of the EBGR presents a selection of epigraphic publications of 2012, with numerous additions to earlier issues (publications of 2006–2011). Publications that could not be considered here, for reasons of space, will be presented in EBGR 2013; they include inter alia two corpora from Asia Minor (S. MITCHELL, D. FRENCH, The Greek and Latin Inscriptions of Ankara [Ancyra]. Volume I. From Augustus to the End of the Third Century AD, Munich, 2012; E. LAFLI, E. CHRISTOF, M. METCALFE, Hadrianopolis I: Inschriften aus Paphlagonia, Oxford, 2012) and an updated edition of the monumental collection of inscriptions with the acclamation εἷς θεός (E. PETERSON, C. MARKSCHIES, Heis Theos. Epigraphische, formgeschichtliche und religionsgeschichtliche Untersuchungen zur antiken “Ein Gott”-Akklamation, Würzburg, 2012). Thanks to the efforts of Professor Klaus Hallof (Berlin), who is co-ordinating the publication of the Inscriptiones Graecae, the oldest project in ancient studies that celebrated its 200th jubilee in August, three new volumes of the IG were published in 2012 and are presented here (Athens: 18 and 105; Kos: 25). This issue also summarizes the content of corpora for Stobi (14) and the Museum of Yozgat (209), a useful collection of Delphic inscriptions (80), and large groups of inscriptions from the Metroion in Dionysopolis (106) and Balboura (127). Kernos, 28 | 2015 Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2012 (EBGR 2012) 2 3 One of the most important texts in this issue is a lead tablet, possibly from Selinous (83), with hexametrical incantations which include an early version of the Ephesia grammata. Among the new inscriptions, I single out a new regulation concerning the sale of the priesthood of Meter Phrygie in Priene (211), an agonistic inscription from Messene (186), a senatus consultum dealing with the limits of sacred land belonging to a sanctuary of Zeus in Melitaia (χώρα Διὸς Ὀθρυίου, 177), a second copy of a cult regulation from Chios that prohibits the use of groves for pasture (114), a Cretan inscription that attests commemorative anniversaries in Lyttos (98), and a dedication made by Alexander to Ammon, ‘his own father’ in the Bahariya Oasis (23 bis). New evidence for the cult of Praxidika and Hermes Tychon comes from Dion (147); there is also important evidence for Egyptian cults from Rhodes (65) and Marathon (52). 4 New inscriptions often add something new to Greek religious vocabulary, such as the word μηριοκαύσιον (‘altar on which the thighs of the victims are burned’) in a text from Asia Minor (55). I also note the expression θεοφίλητοι (3), unusual in a pagan context, the term ἱερὰ κόρα in Stobi (14), the office of the κοσμητὴς θεοῦ in Asia Minor (63; cf. 183), the expression Θεῷ ἥρωι in an epitaph from the area of Oinoanda (157, also with an unusual representation of the Thracian Rider), and an imaginative funerary imprecation that wishes the individual who opens a grave to incur leprosy or a skin disease (209: ἐλεφαντίασει ὁ ἀνοίξας). As in the past, there are numerous publications concerning magical practices, including an interesting defixio from Messene (187): the defigens invokes chthonic deities and heroes, using a laudatory attribute for Hippolytos (κλεινός). With regard to rituals, an inscription from Thouria (8) attests the enigmatic verb κοματεύω, possibly referring to the hair-offering in a rite of passage; two inscriptions from Dionysopolis refer to the ritual of ἀνθολογεῖν in honor of Meter Pontie (106). I also note three texts that provide information concerning the funeral of benefactors (27, 67, and 153). 5 The principles explained in Kernos 4 (1991), p. 287–288, and Kernos 7 (1994), p. 287, also apply to this issue.

  • Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia
    Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia (8th – 6th centuries BCE) An honors thesis for the Department of Classics Olivia E. Hayden Tufts University, 2013 Abstract: Although ancient Greeks were traversing the western Mediterranean as early as the Mycenaean Period, the end of the “Dark Age” saw a surge of Greek colonial activity throughout the Mediterranean. Contemporary cities of the Greek homeland were in the process of growing from small, irregularly planned settlements into organized urban spaces. By contrast, the colonies founded overseas in the 8th and 6th centuries BCE lacked any pre-existing structures or spatial organization, allowing the inhabitants to closely approximate their conceptual ideals. For this reason the Greek colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia, known for their extensive use of gridded urban planning, exemplified the overarching trajectory of urban planning in this period. Over the course of the 8th to 6th centuries BCE the Greek cities in Sicily and Magna Graecia developed many common features, including the zoning of domestic, religious, and political space and the implementation of a gridded street plan in the domestic sector. Each city, however, had its own peculiarities and experimental design elements. I will argue that the interplay between standardization and idiosyncrasy in each city developed as a result of vying for recognition within this tight-knit network of affluent Sicilian and South Italian cities. This competition both stimulated the widespread adoption of popular ideas and encouraged the continuous initiation of new trends. ii Table of Contents: Abstract. …………………….………………………………………………………………….... ii Table of Contents …………………………………….………………………………….…….... iii 1.

  • 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.

  • Conceptualizing and Theorizing Peace in Ancient Greece*
    Transactions of the American Philological Association 139 (2009) 225–250 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Conceptualizing and Theorizing Peace in Ancient Greece* Brown University “ Pointless Wars” (2008). As it happens, my address focuses on a different di- mension of the same problem. Although I will explore mostly Greek ideas, I could easily have chosen Roman ones too. In the late republic, after centuries of almost incessant warfare and the conquest of a huge empire, both Cicero and Sallust tried hard to demonstrate that intellectual achievements (in rhetoric, law, and history) had as much merit as those of the statesman and general. As Sallust puts it, “It is beautiful to do good for the res publica, but neither does it lack distinction to speak well: it is possible to gain renown in peace as well as in war (vel pace vel bello clarum fieri licet); both those who were doers (qui fecere) and those who wrote about the deeds of others are praised * This is a slightly revised version of the paper I delivered at the Annual Meeting of the APA in January 2009; the only major change is the addition of a section on the role of thoughts about peace in other Mediterranean societies. I presented versions of the same paper at the European Social Sciences and History Conference in Lisbon in February 2008, in the Classics Department at Brown University in March 2008, at a meeting of the European Network for the Study of Ancient Greek History in Trento in September 2008, at a colloquium on “Maintaining Peace and Interstate Stability in the Greek World” (organized by Julia Wilker at Harvard University), and at the University of Münster, both in May 2009.

It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.
