  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

  • 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.

HhA 1–13 µνήσοµαι οὐδὲ λάθωµαι Ἀπόλλωνος ἑκάτοιο, I will remember and not forget Apollo the far-shooter, ὅντε θεοὶ κατὰ δῶµα Διὸς τροµέουσιν ἰόντα: At whose arrival the gods in the house of Zeus tremble: καί ῥά τ᾽ ἀναΐσσουσιν ἐπὶ σχεδὸν ἐρχοµένοιο And they dart up at his approach, πάντες ἀφ᾽ ἑδράων, ὅτε φαίδιµα τόξα τιταίνει.

Λητὼ δ᾽ οἴη µίµνε παραὶ Διὶ τερπικεραύνῳ, But Leto alone remains alongside Zeus, who delights in the ἥ ῥα βιόν τ᾽ ἐχάλασσε καὶ ἐκλήισσε φαρέτρην, thunderbolt; καί οἱ ἀπ᾽ ἰφθίµων ὤµων χείρεσσιν ἑλοῦσα For she unstrings the bow and puts away the quiver, τόξα κατεκρέµασε πρὸς κίονα πατρὸς ἑοῖο And taking the bow from his strong shoulders with her hands πασσάλου ἐκ χρυσέου: τὸν δ᾽ ἐς θρόνον εἷσεν She hangs it on a pillar in the house of his father, ἄγουσα. From a golden peg: and leading him she sets him at his seat. τῷ δ᾽ ἄρα νέκταρ ἔδωκε πατὴρ δέπαϊ χρυσείῳ And his father gives him nectar in a golden cup, δεικνύµενος φίλον υἱόν: ἔπειτα δὲ δαίµονες ἄλλοι Setting it before his son: and then the other gods ἔνθα καθίζουσιν: χαίρει δέ τε πότνια Λητώ, Sit there; and queenly Leto rejoices οὕνεκα τοξοφόρον καὶ καρτερὸν υἱὸν ἔτικτε. That she bore a strong, bow-bearing son. 2. HhA 45–49 τόσσον ἔπ᾽ ὠδίνουσα Ἑκηβόλον ἵκετο Λητώ, So many places did Leto approach while in labor with the εἴ τίς οἱ γαιέων υἱεῖ θέλοι οἰκία θέσθαι.

  • ORALITY and TEXTUAL CRITICISM: the HOMERIC HYMNS Franco
    ORALITY AND TEXTUAL CRITICISM: THE HOMERIC HYMNS Franco Ferrari The problem In origin a continuous stream never wholly solidified in a final “text”, an old epic tale cannot take irreversible shape until the creative stage is over. Equivalent double readings, luxuriant ornamentation, free digres- sions, flexible catalogues are organic parts of rhapsodic workmanship. When dealing with such a technique of textual reshaping classical scholars cannot resort to the tools commonly used in evaluating liter- ary works. It would be fanciful, therefore, to attempt to construct a critical edition in terms of a fully accomplished text. The Homeric Hymns,or what have been referred to as such since the first century BCE,1 and later a larger compilation, are a very promising field in this respect, because these hymns remained in the hands of the rhapsodes for so long without receiving the kind of editorial treatment Alexandrian scholars reserved for the monumental Homeric poems. Our Medieval manuscripts hold several doublets, but since the ar- chetype of our tradition goes back to the late Middle Ages, the copies circulating through the ancient world certainly contained a very much greater number of double readings. In the manuscripts belonging to the rhapsodes2 such doublets were probably juxtaposed without any 1 We do not know at which time this collection was arranged. The quotations such as “Homer says in the Hymns” begin only in the first century BCE, so that only for this period can we be sure that our collection, or at least a very similar one, was known in learned circles. Later on, it joined a larger compilation, which perhaps goes back to Proclus (fifth century CE) and which contained also the hymns of Callimachus, of the Orphics and of Proclus himself and the Orphic Argonautica.

  • Divine Riddles: a Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014
    Divine Riddles: A Sourcebook for Greek and Roman Mythology March, 2014 E. Edward Garvin, Editor What follows is a collection of excerpts from Greek literary sources in translation. The intent is to give students an overview of Greek mythology as expressed by the Greeks themselves. But any such collection is inherently flawed: the process of selection and abridgement produces a falsehood because both the narrative and meta-narrative are destroyed when the continuity of the composition is interrupted. Nevertheless, this seems the most expedient way to expose students to a wide range of primary source information. I have tried to keep my voice out of it as much as possible and will intervene as editor (in this Times New Roman font) only to give background or exegesis to the text. All of the texts in Goudy Old Style are excerpts from Greek or Latin texts (primary sources) that have been translated into English. Ancient Texts In the field of Classics, we refer to texts by Author, name of the book, book number, chapter number and line number.1 Every text, regardless of language, uses the same numbering system. Homer’s Iliad, for example, is divided into 24 books and the lines in each book are numbered. Hesiod’s Theogony is much shorter so no book divisions are necessary but the lines are numbered. Below is an example from Homer’s Iliad, Book One, showing the English translation on the left and the Greek original on the right. When citing this text we might say that Achilles is first mentioned by Homer in Iliad 1.7 (i.7 is also acceptable).

  • Stockton 1 the Sculpture the Three Goddess Is Found in the East
    Stockton 1 The sculpture The Three Goddess is found in the east pediment of the Parthenon. The Parthenon a temple dedicated after Athena the Greek goddess. The Parthenon got its name from one of the epithets of the goddess – Parthenos and depicts many important Athenian myths including the contest between Athena and Poseidon and Athena’s birth. All the sculpture relief’s in the Parthenon tell story’s about the people of Athens and there relationship with the Gods. Unfortunately the East Pediment in which the Three Goddesses lye is in very poor shape. Due its poor shape the identification of the characters is hard to determine. They have been identified as many different things but the most accepted identification of the Three Goddesses is Hestia (goddess of home and hearth), Dione (mother of Aphrodite), and Aphrodite (goddess of sexual love). Hestia the goddess of home and hearth is thought to be the seated Goddess on the far left. The myth goes that Hestia was the first born child of the titan Kronos and his wife Rhea. At birth Hestia was swallowed by her father along with her siblings. Zeus discovered this and forced Kronos to throw up Hestia and her five siblings. As a young woman the Gods Apollo and Poseidon fought for her hand in marriage Hetia refusing both of them asked Zeus if she could remain a virgin forever and that is how she came to be the goddess hearth. Dione the earth goddess is though to be the daughter of Aphrodite. Dione is also thought to be the female version of Zeus.
