  • The Contest Between Athena and Poseidon. Myth, History and Art
    ANDRÁS PATAY-HORVÁTH The Contest between Athena and Poseidon. Myth, History and Art The myth was a well-known one in antiquity, and it is well-known even to- day. There are many versions in various extant literary sources1 and even some depictions in sculpture, vase painting and minor arts2. Surprisingly enough, the famous myth has not attracted much scholarly interest3. The modern commen- taries simply list the relevant passages, but hardly attempt a thorough comparative analysis4. The present paper (an updated, revised and abbreviated version of Patay-Horváth 2002a) would like to present a study, suggesting strong intercon- nections between Athenian history and the evolution of the myth. Beside the many familiar texts and works of art, I will also introduce a new piece of evidence, which has never been considered in this context and hope that it will become ap- parent, that the role of Poseidon and the sea is much more important in this myth than has generally been acknowledged. It is appropriate to begin with a fairly detailed version of the myth from the mythological textbook of Apollodorus (Bibl. III 14). It can serve as a very practi- cal introduction to the subject because it contains not only one version but some alternatives as well. Cecrops, a son of the soil, with a body compounded of man and serpent, was the first king of Attica, and the country which was formerly called Acte he named Cecropia after himself. In his time, they say, the gods resolved to take possession of cities in which each of them should receive his own peculiar wor- ship.

  • The Shield of Heracles (Hes
    chapter 4 The Shield of Heracles (Hes. Sc. 139–320) 4.1 Introduction The next extant ekphrasis in ancient Greek Literature is found in the pseudo- Hesiodic Shield. The Shield is a small-scale epic poem of 480 hexameters, named after its central section which deals with Heracles’ shield. The poem is usually dated to the first third of the sixth century BC. It narrates an episode from the life of Heracles: the killing of Cycnus, a son of Ares. Heracles is por- trayed throughout the poem in a positive light: Zeus has fathered Heracles as a protector against ruin for gods and for men (ὥς ῥα θεοῖσιν / ἀνδράσι τ’ ἀλφηστῇσιν ἀρῆς ἀλκτῆρα φυτεύσαι, 28–29).1 By killing Cycnus, who robs travellers on their way to Delphi, Heracles lives up to this purpose. The poem is generally regarded as a product of an oral tradition.2 The fact that the Shield is oral poetry has consequences for its understanding. Thus, the idea that the Shield is a mere imitation of Achilles’ shield in Il. 18.478–608— a verdict that goes back to Aristophanes of Byzantium—must be rejected.3 It is doubtful whether in the sixth century BC fixed texts of the Iliad existed, to which another text, that of the Shield, could refer.4 This is very much a Hellenis- tic point of view. Rather, it is more plausible that both texts came into being in a still-fluid oral tradition, which contained certain stock formulae and themes.5 One common element in the tradition might well have been a shield ekphrasis, which could serve as a showpiece of the poet.6 The poet of the Shield has indeed composed his shield ekphrasis as a show- piece: Heracles’ shield is noisier, more sensational, more gruesome, but above all bigger than Achilles’ shield.

  • The Art and Artifacts Associated with the Cult of Dionysus
    Alana Koontz The Art and Artifacts Associated with the Cult of Dionysus Alana Koontz is a student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee graduating with a degree in Art History and a certificate in Ancient Mediterranean Studies. The main focus of her studies has been ancient art, with specific attention to ancient architecture, statuary, and erotic symbolism in ancient art. Through various internships, volunteering and presentations, Alana has deepened her understanding of the art world, and hopes to do so more in the future. Alana hopes to continue to grad school and earn her Master’s Degree in Art History and Museum Studies, and eventually earn her PhD. Her goal is to work in a large museum as a curator of the ancient collections. Alana would like to thank the Religious Studies Student Organization for this fantastic experience, and appreciates them for letting her participate. Dionysus was the god of wine, art, vegetation and also widely worshipped as a fertility god. The cult of Dionysus worshipped him fondly with cultural festivities, wine-induced ritualistic dances, 1 intense and violent orgies, and secretive various depictions of drunken revelry. 2 He embodies the intoxicating portion of nature. Dionysus, in myth, was the last god to be accepted at Mt Olympus, and was known for having a mortal mother. He spent his adulthood teaching the cultivation of grapes, and wine-making. The worship began as a celebration of culture, with plays and processions, and progressed into a cult that was shrouded in mystery. Later in history, worshippers would perform their rituals in the cover of darkness, limiting the cult-practitioners to women, and were surrounded by myth that is sometimes interpreted as fact.

The most concentrated area is on the ceiling in the lower hall. This oval area shows The Triumph of Peace and Liberty over Tyranny. The painting shows the Protestant monarchs William III and Mary II liberating Europe from the tyranny of the Catholic King of France, Louis XIV. William tramples on the French King, receives the olive branch from Peace and hands the red cap of liberty to Europe. The English monarchs are enthroned in heaven, surrounded by the Virtues. Above them, Apollo drives the chariot of the Sun. This provides the light source for the painting and draws attention to William and Mary under the canopy. At the bottom of the oval are Athena and Heracles expelling the vices from heaven. Medusa the gorgon is also pictured here. James Thornhill painted the different seasons and the signs of the Zodiac around the oval.

([email protected]) Introduction: NASA’s Artemis program will en- able a sustainable human presence on the Moon. A key objective of the program is to investigate water ice within regolith in the lunar south pole, which could provide fuel and life support. The origin and concentration of water ice in lunar regolith is not well understood. Determining the concentration of water ice at the surface and whether it persists with depth could help determine if the ice was delivered by comets or is endogenic [1]. We propose active seismic surveying to quantify re- golith ice content at lunar south pole landing sites. The ice content in lunar regolith is likely correlated with seis- Figure 1: The ARES concept illustrated over icy regolith mic shear wave velocity. Seismic surface wave analysis layering on the Moon.

  • Lecture 9 Good Morning and Welcome to LLT121 Classical Mythology
    Lecture 9 Good morning and welcome to LLT121 Classical Mythology. In our last exciting class, we were discussing the various sea gods. You’ll recall that, in the beginning, Gaia produced, all by herself, Uranus, the sky, Pontus, the sea and various mountains and whatnot. Pontus is the Greek word for “ocean.” Oceanus is another one. Oceanus is one of the Titans. Guess what his name means in ancient Greek? You got it. It means “ocean.” What we have here is animism, pure and simple. By and by, as Greek civilization develops, they come to think of the sea as ruled by this bearded god, lusty, zesty kind of god. Holds a trident. He’s seriously malformed. He has an arm growing out of his neck this morning. You get the picture. This is none other than the god Poseidon, otherwise known to the Romans as Neptune. One of the things that I’m going to be mentioning as we meet the individual Olympian gods, aside from their Roman names—Molly, do you have a problem with my drawing? Oh, that was the problem. Okay, aside from their Roman names is also their quote/unquote attributes. Here’s what I mean by attributes: recognizable features of a particular god or goddess. When you’re looking at, let’s say, ancient Greek pottery, all gods and goddesses look pretty much alike. All the gods have beards and dark hair. All the goddesses have long, flowing hair and are wearing dresses. The easiest way to tell them apart is by their attributes.

  • Greek Gods & Goddesses
    Greek Gods & Goddesses The Greek Gods and GodessesMyths https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/olympians/ The Twelve Olympians In the ancient Greek world, the Twelve great gods and goddesses of the Greeks were referred to as the Olympian Gods, or the Twelve Olympians. The name of this powerful group of gods comes from Mount Olympus, where the council of 12 met to discuss matters. All 12 Olympians had a home on Mount Olympus and that was where they were most commonly found. HADES, the god of the Underworld, preferred to live there, and POSEIDON often chose to stay in his palace under the sea. Most of the other Olympians would be on Mount Olympus year round unless they were travelling. HESTIA used to be one of the Olympians, but the constant fighting and bickering between the gods annoyed her and she eventually gave up her seat to the god of wine, DIONYSUS. Even though she left the council, Hestia still kept a home on Mount Olympus. APHRODITE was on the council but, in most Greek mythological stories, her husband HEPHAESTUS was not. At the famous Parthenon temple in Greece, there is a statue of each of the 12 Olympian gods. Hades does not have a statue, but Hephaestus does. The question of who the 12 Olympians are really depends on who is telling the story. Nobody is truly sure if Hades of Hephaestus can be classed as the Twelfth Olympian. So, because of the way Greek myths were told and retold in different ways, there are actually 14 gods and goddesses who can be considered as an Olympian god.

  • Eris Goddess of Discord © Emmanuella Kozas
    The Order of the White Moon Goddess Gallery Presents A Level III Final Project by Priestess Ajna DreamsAwake for The Sacred Three Goddess School (© 2013. All original material in this Project is under copyright protection and is the intellectual property of the author.) Eris Goddess of Discord © Emmanuella Kozas Image used with permission from the artist Eris is the Greek Goddess of Chaos and Discord, and, in the confusion that surrounds Her origins, She certainly live up to the name. She is referred to either a minor spirit, or eldest daughter of Nyx (Night) and Zeus, or daughter of Zeus and Hera and twin to Ares. She is depicted as a beautiful young woman, a skeletal crone or winged daemon. Hesiod describes two Goddesses who go by the name Eris, the Erites. The first is a benign Goddess who promotes healthy competition, and can be a catalyst for bettering oneself. This "Good Eris" provides the incentive for individuals to create the change they want to see in themselves. It is Eris who gives us the proverbial "kick in the butt" we all require, at times, when we become lethargic, complacent or prone to procrastination. The second Eris is the one we are most familiar with. As the daughter of Hera and Zeus, and companion to Ares, She fosters evil, war and cruelty. Her epithets include Infernal Monster, Lady of Sorrows and Nurse of War. The poet Virgil writes that Eris lives in a cavern, surrounded by mountains, at the entrance to Hades. Eris begins as a small and insignificant Spirit who thrives on Chaos, striding through battlefields growing stronger and larger as She feeds on the slaughter.
