Mortuary Constructions of Identity in Ruvo Di Puglia and Metaponto By Apulian Warrior-Heroes and Greek Citizens: Mortuary Constructions of Identity in Ruvo di Puglia and Metaponto By Miranda K. Siklenka A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Classics in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April, 2015 Copyright © Miranda K. Siklenka, 2015 Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on the socio-political ideology of the warrior- aristocracy of Ruvo di Puglia and the inhabitants of the Greek polis of Metaponto through observation of the motifs on the figured vessels placed in wealthy tombs. By examining the mortuary deposits of the Ruvo tombs alongside those from Metaponto, we will be able to see some similarities between the two cities. While these similarities imply a level of cultural sharing, they more succinctly show that the indigenous inhabitants of Ruvo were quite selective in borrowing from the Greeks. However, the differences provide the best insight into the fascinating practices of the Apulians. I show that the Apulian chieftains coveted a warrior-hero status and were not hesitant to liken themselves to the legendary Achilles or Herakles, while the Greeks saw such practices as a breach of the fundamental principles of their polis-centered egalitarianism. This is significant for the understanding of the cultural environment of Magna Graecia since only little remains in terms of primary sources on the subject. i Acknowledgments: Foremost, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Fabio Colivicchi for his continual patience, invaluable advice, and mentorship throughout the process of writing this thesis. To my loving mother, the rest of my family, and my friends, your words of encouragement have provided me with confidence throughout this endeavor and my entire life. For this, I am so lucky and forever grateful. Finally, the financial support of the Department of Classics at Queen’s University has made this research possible. To the Classics faculty and my colleagues, you have made my entire experience at Queen’s University memorable. ii Table of Contents: Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………………i Acknowledgments ……………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Tables ………………………………………………………………………………......iv List of Figures ………………………………….…………………………………………….... v List of Abbreviations …………………………………………………………………………...x Chapter 1: Introduction ……………………………………………………………..................1 Methodology ……………………………………………………………………………….....2 Previous scholarship on red-figure pottery of south Italy …………………………………….3 Chapter 2: Classification of Themes Youths ………………………………………………………………………………….…......7 Chapter 3: Classification of Themes Mythological Heroes …………………………………………………..................................29 Chapter 4: Classification of Themes Naiskos Monuments ………………………………………………………………………....48 Chapter 5: Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………..76 Database Findings: Ruvo di Puglia ………………………………………………………………………………81 Metaponto ………………………………………………………………………………...113 Bibliography: Translations and Editions of Ancient Texts……………………………….....121 Bibliography …………………………………………………………………………………121 iii List of Tables: Table 1: List of database categories…………………………………………………………..2 Table 2: Vessel count for all three themes in Ruvo and Metaponto………………………....3 Table 3: Vessel count for Youth theme in Ruvo and Metaponto……………………………7 Table 4: Vessel count for Mythological Hero theme in Ruvo and Metaponto……………..29 Table 5: Vessel count for Naiskos Monument theme in Ruvo and Metaponto……………..48 Table 6: Database for Ruvo di Puglia……………………………………………………….81 Table 7: Database for Metaponto…………………………………………………………..113 iv List of Figures: Figure 1 – Red-figure lebes gamikos depicting flautist and youth (Side A, SMet. 57) from Carter et al (2011), p. 1072 (T19.05)………………………………………………………………...8 Figure 2 – Red-figure lebes gamikos (Side B, SMet. 57) from Carter et al.

  • The Natural History of a Caeretan Hydria
    BABESCH 91 (2016), 69-85. doi: 10.2143/BAB.91.0.3175644 The Natural History of a Caeretan Hydria John K. Papadopoulos Abstract One of the most extraordinary renderings of various sea creatures is the well-known and often-published Caere- tan hydria now in the Niarchos Collection. In contrast to the accurately rendered seal, which is rare in Greek art of all periods, octopus, and dolphins, the central creature that dominates the scene is usually considered as an imaginary sea monster, a ketos. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the central creature is no sea monster, but a fairly accurate representation of one of the most elusive creatures of the sea: an oarfish, of the family Regalecidae.

  • Aphrodite on a Ladder
    APHRODITE ON A LADDER (PLATES 17-19) N JULY OF 1981, in Byzantinelevels above and west of what was soonto be identified as the Stoa Poikile, the excavatorsof the Athenian Agora found two joining fragmentsof a Classical votive relief (P1. 17:a).1 The relief is framed by simple moldings: taenia and ovolo at top and a plain band at the right side. In the pictorial field is preservedthe head of a young woman carved in low relief. She gazes down to the left at a vessel raised in her right hand. Her head is coveredby a short veil. Above and behind the veil are two rungs and the vertical supports of a ladder whose upper end disappearsbehind the frame. Although frag- mentary and weathered, the relief provides a precious document for the study of Classical relief sculpture, and its unusual iconographygives a valuable clue to the identity of one of the deities worshiped in the area. Most of the figure'sprofile is broken away, but the carefully carvedlines of the lips and eye show that the sculptor took pains to give her delicate features. Her hair, where it ap- pears below the veil, is mostly worn away. Along the side of her face appear waves of hair with a scallopedcontour. No trace of her ear is preserved.It was either very small or hidden beneath her hair. Folds of the veil cross her head in bifurcating linear patterns of rounded ridges. Below her hair two folds fall down along her neck, while others, from the hidden right side of her head, blow out behind in sweeping curves.

  • Black-Glazed, Red-Figure, and Grey Ware Pottery
    30448_panskoye_pc_.qxd 06-10-02 14:05 Side 127 BLACK-GLAZED, RED-FIGURE, AND GREY WARE POTTERY Lise Hannestad, Vladimir F. Stolba, Helene Blinkenberg Hastrup This chapter deals with the black-glazed (B 4-219) and grey ware pottery (B 220-242) from U6, and also includes three red-figure fragments found in the complex (B 1-3). RED-FIGURE POTTERY (B 1-3) Three pieces of Attic red-figure pottery were found in U6 (Pls. 68 and 70). B 1 is a small sherd, probably of a stemless cup, with the head and shoulders of a satyr. The style is early 4th century, and this piece undoubtedly derives from the period prior to the construction of U6, where it probably came to rest when already broken. B 3 is the upper part of an askos in a very late Kertch style. It remains an open question whether it was complete and in use in the initial phase of U6, or whether, by that time, only the upper part was kept for the sake of the painted decoration with the four heads. BLACK-GLAZED WARE (B 4-219) A number of the pieces of black-glazed ware are undoubtedly of Attic origin, whereas this is uncertain for others, and some are definitely from other, not yet localised centres, as indi- cated by the types of clay, and in particular the inclusion of minerals, which can be identi- fied in many of the black-glazed vessels from U6, but are, according to Rotroff, not visible in Attic pottery of the Hellenistic period.1 The Black Sea area was certainly the most impor- tant export area for Attic pottery in the 4th century and the early Hellenistic period,2 and no other similarly important source of black-glazed pottery found in that region has yet been suggested.
