THE INVOCATIONS of EPAPHUS in AESCHYLUS, SUPPLICES 40–57 and EURIPIDES, PHOENISSAE 676–89* There Are Interesting Textual CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE THE INVOCATIONS OF EPAPHUS IN AESCHYLUS,SUPPLICES 40–57 AND EURIPIDES, PHOENISSAE 676–89* There are interesting textual and metrical issues in both these passages.1 (i) In the Parodos of Aeschylus’ Supplices the chorus of Danaids proceed directly from their play-opening anapaests (1–39) into a lyric invocation of their divine ancestor Epaphus, son of Zeus and Io; appropriately invoked (as they go on to explain, and will elaborate further in the stasimon 524–99) in the ancestral land from which his cow-mother was driven by the gadfly. ‡ 40–8 νῦν δ’ ἐπικεκλο µένα 40 ∆ῖον πόρτιν ὑπερπόντιον τιµάορ’, † ἶνίν τ’ ἀνθονόµου τᾶϲ προγόνου βοὸϲ ἐξ ἐπιπνοίαϲ Ζηνὸϲ ἔφαψιν ἐπωνυµίαι δ’ ἐπεκραίνετο µόρϲιµοϲ αἰὼν 45 εὐλόγωϲ †, ῎Єπαφον δ’ ἐγένναϲεν· ~ 49–57 ὅντ’ ἐπιλεξαµένα νῦν ἐν ποιονόµοιϲ µατρὸϲ ἀρχαίαϲ τόποιϲ τῶν πρόϲθε πόνων 50 µναϲαµένα τά τε νῦν ἐπιδείξω πιϲτὰ τεκµήρια, γαιονόµοιϲι δ’ ἄελπτά περ ὄντα φανεῖται 55 · γνώϲεται δὲ λόγου τιϲ ἐν µάκει· 40 ἐπικεκλοµένα Τurnebus: -όµεναι M 42–3 τ ’] γ’ Page ἀνθονόµου{ϲ} M; -νόµον Tucker 44 ἐπιπνοίαϲ Σ, Robortello: -οίαιϲ M 45 ἐπωνυµίαν (del. δ’) post Auratum Burges 48–9 ἐγένναϲ(ε) (ἐ)όντ’ M, corr.

[712] INVOCATIONS OF EPAPHUS 477 The metre is essentially ‘enoplian’, 2 in a stanza most naturally lineated in five verses, 3 of lengths ranging from seven to twenty syllables but without any clearcut period-divisions: 4 1. D | 2. D | e – e – d | 3. D2 – (= 4da) | 4. D5 – (= 7da = D2 ⏖ D –) | 5. gl sp (= hi –) The opening D colon is like the opening of a dactylic hexameter, followed by a shift to D/e with long ancipites. Then two double-short verses of increasing length, both with the epic cadence … ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ – –,5 lead into an apparently alien clausular verse.6 The chorus have already referred to their Argive cow-ancestress, ——— 2 As explained in comm. Or., p. xx (cf. also p. 351 n. 13 above), I use ‘enoplian’ only as an adjective, to denote the metrical genre which combines single-short and dactylic elements, with or without initial, linking or appended ancipites, in aϲύνθετοϲ ῥυθµόϲ. Notation of enoplian sequences will most conveniently use the Maasian symbols e (– ⏑ –) and D (– ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ –) augmented with some others (including d , E, D2, ba, sp, ith = e ba). So called ‘dactylo-epitritic’ metre is a subspecies of enoplian metre, characterized by mostly long ancipites. 3 West’s colometry differs only in that he splits my second verse as D / e – e – d. M divides before and after ἀνθονόµου{ϲ} τᾶϲ προγόνου, and similarly before and after πρόϲθε πόνων µναϲαµένα in 52. This may well reflect the Alexandrian colometry, but we do not have to accept it as the truth (see now L. P. E. Parker, CQ 51 (2001), 23– 52). 2ch is plainly out of place here between D | D e – e – and ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ ⏑ – –. For the sequence … e – e – d, cf. S. Ant. 1116–17/1127–8 (× e ⏑ e ⏑ d), 1142/1151 (⏑ e ⏑ d e), O. T. 870/880 (⏑ e ⏑ d –), E. Alc. 573/583 (⏑ e ⏑ d), and similarly × d × e at S. Aj. 399/416 and Tra. 637/644. 4 My ‘verses’, against the usage of some metricians, are not by definition ‘periods’, as explained in p. 333 n. 11 above. Here it is arguable that the pendent syllables of 3 and 4 are long ancipites (not ‘catalectic’), as in D/e. On the issue whether the sixth foot of the dactylic hexameter is correctly analysed as – ×, cf. p. 333 above, with n. 9. 5 For the ‘heptameter’ length, cf. Pers. 865–6/873–4, 869–70/876–7, 897–9, 903–5, Ag. 147–8, 149–50. (Pers. 852–4/858–60 is a still longer expansion of the dactylic hexa- meter to D ⁝ ⏖ D5 – (or D 5 ⁝ ⏖ D –); cf. S. O. T. 155–8/163–7 (D11 ⁝ ⏖ D –), E. Hcld. 615–18/626–9 (D6 ⁝ ⏖ D –), Tro. 604–7, Pho. 1485–8, Ba. 164–9.) The verse πιϲτὰ … φανεῖται here is remarkable for the absence of any strong caesurae, with no less than four word-ends after – ⏑; but the pattern D2 ⏑ ⁝ ⏑ D – (as Pers. 872–4, 897–9, 903–5) is in itself analogous to the weak-caesura pattern (relatively uncommon in tragedy) D ⏑ ⁝ ⏑ D – in the dactylic hexameter. 6 I have discussed the typically clausular verse – × – ⏑ ⏑ – ⏑ – – – in ch. 19 above (on S. El. 137–9), there favouring the interpretation gl plus sp (cf. Itsumi (1984) 78–9). This is its only occurrence in Aeschylus, and it might perhaps be better regarded here as a hypercatalectic hipponactean. For apparent glyconics elsewhere in enoplian context (telesilleans occur thus more often), cf. the sequence D | ia sp (⏑ e sp) ‖ gl ia | gl | tl sp … at S. Aj. 192 ff. .

(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.

  • Euripides and Gender: the Difference the Fragments Make
    Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Ruby Blondell, Chair Deborah Kamen Olga Levaniouk Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2013 Melissa Karen Anne Funke University of Washington Abstract Euripides and Gender: The Difference the Fragments Make Melissa Karen Anne Funke Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ruby Blondell Department of Classics Research on gender in Greek tragedy has traditionally focused on the extant plays, with only sporadic recourse to discussion of the many fragmentary plays for which we have evidence. This project aims to perform an extensive study of the sixty-two fragmentary plays of Euripides in order to provide a picture of his presentation of gender that is as full as possible. Beginning with an overview of the history of the collection and transmission of the fragments and an introduction to the study of gender in tragedy and Euripides’ extant plays, this project takes up the contexts in which the fragments are found and the supplementary information on plot and character (known as testimonia) as a guide in its analysis of the fragments themselves. These contexts include the fifth- century CE anthology of Stobaeus, who preserved over one third of Euripides’ fragments, and other late antique sources such as Clement’s Miscellanies, Plutarch’s Moralia, and Athenaeus’ Deipnosophistae. The sections on testimonia investigate sources ranging from the mythographers Hyginus and Apollodorus to Apulian pottery to a group of papyrus hypotheses known as the “Tales from Euripides”, with a special focus on plot-type, especially the rape-and-recognition and Potiphar’s wife storylines.

  • Feminine Io As a Natural and Political Principle in Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound
    Feminine Io as a Natural and Political Principle In Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound Matthew Green Prometheus Bound re-enacts and addresses two colossal shifts in power: on the divine level, the transition from the natural, earth- born Titans to the rational Olympians; and on the mortal level, the emergence of political civilization. The titan Prometheus straddles these deeply related, parallel developments. He gave fire and the technical arts to humans, bestowing on them a drive to overcome and innovate. This drive requires proper direction to be good, and although political order as embodied by Zeus may represent this end, his authority at this nascent stage is not fully informed, and manifests as tyranny. I will argue that the mortal Io presents the missing link necessary for well-ordered human civilization. She embodies both a natural principle, incorporating the chthonic Titans into the new order of Olympians, and a feminine political one, creating and preserving human political order through marriage and childbirth. Prometheus’ long list of the technical arts, or techne, that he taught to humans includes astronomy, writing, animal husbandry, medicine, divination, and metallurgy.1 But throughout the play, it is made clear that these arts are neutral relative to the ends that they make possible. The possession of techne does not entail goodness or civilization, as evidenced by the savage foreigners Io is fated to encounter on her journey. The Scythian nomads, who possess transportation and weaponry, and the Chalybes, who possess metallurgy, remain savages, “wild” and without cities.2 More immediately, the chaining of Prometheus himself is effected by Hephaestus, the Olympian technician, against his own sense of justice, and for the sake of Zeus’ tyranny.

  • Danaus Βουγενής: Greco-Egyptian Mythology and Ptolemaic Kingship Alexandros Kampakoglou
    Danaus βουγενής: Greco-Egyptian Mythology and Ptolemaic Kingship Alexandros Kampakoglou HE THIRD BOOK of Callimachus’s Aetia opens with an elegy that celebrates the chariot victory of Queen Berenice II in the Nemean games (frr.54–60j).1 Accord- T 2 ing to the introductory couplet, the Victoria Berenices is offered by Callimachus to Zeus and Nemea as a gift on behalf of his patron, Berenice II: Ζηνί τε κα⸤ὶ Νεµέηι τι χαρίσιον ἕδνον ὀφείλω⸥, νύµφα, κα[σιγνή]τ̣ων ἱερὸν αἷµα θεῶν, ἡµ[ε]τ̣ερο.[......].εων ἐπινίκιον ἵππω̣[ν]. To Zeus and Nemea I owe a gift of gratitude, nymph, sacred blood of the sibling gods, our victory song […] of horses. Zeus and Nemea appear as the receivers of Callimachus’ gift because of their connection with the Nemean games: the myth of the Victoria Berenices narrates the killing of the Nemean lion but memorializes the creation by Heracles of the wreath that Nemean victors received as a prize. The mythic part of the poem concludes with a sacrifice to Zeus performed jointly by Heracles and Molorcus (fr.60c.8–10). The frame mirrors, in this regard, the actions of the myth: Heracles offers a sacrifice to his divine father with the assistance of his host, Molorcus; Berenice consecrates the elegy to Zeus, the divine progenitor of 1 I cite the edition of A. Harder, Callimachus. Aetia I–II (Oxford 2012); translations are my own. 2 This is the title given to the first elegy of Book 3 by P. J.

  • The Suppliant Maidens by Aeschylus
    The Suppliant Maidens by Aeschylus DRAMATIS PERSONAE DANAÜS PELASGUS, King of Argos HERALD of the Sons of Aegyptus CHORUS of the Daughters of Danaüs Attendant Maidens SCENE.—A sacred precinct on the shore not far from Argos. Many images of the gods are visible whose collective worship is denoted by a common altar. TIME. —Prehistoric. ARGUMENT Io, daughter of Inachus, King of Argos, was priestess of Hera, whose jealousy of her lord’s love for the maiden brought upon her victim marring of mind and body; and she was driven distraught and in the semblance of a heifer made to wander over land and sea until she came to the land of the Nile. There she regained her human form by the mysterious touch of her lover Zeus, and bore a child Epaphus, from whom sprang Libya, and from her Belus and Agenor. Between Belus’s two sons, Aegyptus and Danaüs, strife arose, and the fifty sons of Aegyptus wished to possess by forced marriage the fifty daughters of Danaüs. But the maidens, loathing the violence of their kinsmen, fled amain with their father to Argos, the home of their primal mother, and besought sanctuary from the king of that land, Pelasgus. The hesitation of the king to vindicate to the suppliants the right of asylum, the triumph of that right by vote of the people of Argos, the arrival of the suitors in pursuit, preceded by their herald demanding the surrender of the maidens, and his repulse through threatening war, constitute the action of the play. The sequel was contained in the Egyptians and the Danaïdes.

  • Io and Trauma in Ovid's Metamorphoses
    IO AND TRAUMA IN OVID’S METAMORPHOSES: RAPE AND TRANSFORMATION By Maggie Sawyer Advisor: Matthew Farmer A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Classics at Haverford College. May 2019 Acknowledgements I am tremendously thankful to the Haverford and Bryn Mawr Classics Departments for supporting me in my intellectual endeavors throughout an undergraduate career that has been both challenging and rewarding. Professor Farmer was an excellent mentor and advisor throughout writing this thesis, and I am eternally grateful for his patience and understanding. He has helped me become a more thoughtful researcher and a hopeful young teacher. Professors Mulligan and Silverblank were also instrumental in helping me process what I wanted to say in this project, and their guidance along the writing path was illuminating beyond comparison. Lastly, Professor Roberts and former Professor Kuper have served me as educators and fantastic role models in my classes at Haverford; although their guidance in this thesis was mostly indirect, I hope that the lessons of integrity and kindness that they have imparted to me shine through these pages. I have gained so much from them that I hope to repay back one day to my own Latin students. Thank you to my entire family, particularly my mom and dad, for always sending endless love from Ohio. Finally, I am grateful for my friends at Haverford who have also helped me laugh through the years. Without those times of levity and care, I would not be here writing for you today.
