The Orneai of Strabo and Homer? Ab Stract HESPERIA 7I (2002) A N EW B RONZE AG E PagesII9-I48 SITE INTHE CO R I NTH IA THE ORNEAIOF STRABOAND HOMER? ABSTRACT A newlydiscovered Bronze Age site is reportedat Doratiin the Corinthia, overlookingthe NemeaRiver. Surface material indicates that this was a large Mycenaeansettlement, with structurespotentially well preserved,and that earlierperiods of the BronzeAge arealso represented.The locationof the sitemakes it possibleto identif;rit tentativelyas the CorinthianOrneai men- tionedby Strabo,who implies(contra Pausanias)that this is the site referred to in the Catalogueof Ships.I suggestthat Strabo is correct,and that Dorati mayinfactbe Homer's Orneai. Accepting this identification helps clarilithe logicbywhich sites in Agamemnon'srealm are listed in the Catalogue. A previouslyunknown Mycenaean site overlookingthe NemeaRiver in the northeasternPeloponnese has recentlycome to my attention.1It is largeand the surfacematerial copious, diverse, and of highquality, yet no mentionof it hasappeared in anyscholarly publication.2 Therefore I offer 1.

This bluffisthe northernmost extension of a ridgeofthe foothills of Mt.Apesas thathas been eroded away on thewest by the Nemea River and on theeast byanother large tributary rema, orseasonal riverbed (Fig. 2, labeledDaveli), so thatit nowextends as an isolated promontory or finger of landstretch- ing towardthe north.The ridgesupports a thicklayer of topsoil,covered withpine trees where it hasnot been cleared, above a stratumof conglom- eraterock. Below this thicklayer of rock,the ridgeconsists primarily of soft marlthat has sufferedsevere erosion on all sidesexcept the south. Consequently,the unsupportedupper conglomerate shelf has broken up 3.

I havenot been able to investigatethis possibility, but at the church of AgiaParaskevi there is a naturalspring that still provides water year-round.

Here at thehighest point of thesite the plateau narrows andthe conglomerateshelf comes to an end,so thaton the eastand west thereare steep slopes rather than a sheerrock face.

Karim Arafat recently wrote that Dale's achieve- ment might be even greater than Beazley's, as it was necessary to sort out the different fabrics of South Italy and Sicily, adifficult task, because of the cross fertilization between thedifferent pottery centres.

So I cannot talk about matters South Italian. My work has been primarily in Ancient Corinth and it is to that city we will go today.

    ROBERT K. SHERK THE EPONYMOUS OFFICIALS OF GREEK CITIES: I aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 83 (1990) 249–288 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 249 The Eponymous Officials of Greek Cities: I (A) Introduction The eponymous official or magistrate after whom the year was named in Greek cities or as- sociations is well known to all epigraphists under various titles: archon, prytanis, stephanepho- ros, priest, etc. Some details about them have appeared in many articles and in scattered pas- sages of scholarly books. However, not since the publication of Clemens Gnaedinger, De Graecorum magistratibus eponymis quaestiones epigraphicae selectae (Diss. Strassburg 1892) has there been a treatment of the subject as a whole, although the growth of the material in this regard has been enormous.1 What is missing, however, is an attempt to bring the material up to date in a comprehensive survey covering the whole Greek world, at least as far as possible. The present article, of which this is only the first part, will present that material in a geographically organized manner: mainland Greece and the adjacent islands, then the Aegean islands, Asia Minor and Thrace, Syria, Egypt, Cyrene, Sicily, and southern Italy. All the epi- graphic remains of that area have been examined and catalogued. General observations and conclusions will be presented after the evidence as a whole has been given. I. Earliest Examples of Eponymity The earliest form of writing appeared in Sumer and Assyria sometime within the last half of the fourth millennium BC, and from there it spread westward. Thus, it is not at all surpris- ing that the Mesopotamian civilizations also made the earliest use of assigning names or events to years in dating historical records.

The author proposes to identity the exact route of the road as it passed through Kleonaian territoryby combining the evidence of ancient testimonia, the identification of ancient roadside features, the ac- counts of early travelers,and autopsy.The act of tracing the road serves to emphasizethe prominentposition of the city Kleonaion this interstateroute, which had significant consequences both for its own history and for that of neighboring states. INTRODUCTION Much of the historyof the polis of Kleonaiwas shapedby its location on a numberof majorroutes from the Isthmus and Corinth into the Peloponnese.1The most importantof thesewas a majorartery for north- south travel;from the city of Kleonai,the immediatedestinations of this roadwere Corinthto the north and Argos to the south.It is in connec- tion with its roadsthat Kleonaiis most often mentionedin the ancient sources,and likewise,modern topographical studies of the areahave fo- cusedon definingthe coursesof these routes,particularly that of the main 1.

  • Iconography of the Gorgons on Temple Decoration in Sicily and Western Greece
    ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE By Katrina Marie Heller Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2010 Copyright 2010 by Katrina Marie Heller All Rights Reserved ii ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE Katrina Marie Heller, B.S. University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, 2010 This paper provides a concise analysis of the Gorgon image as it has been featured on temples throughout the Greek world. The Gorgons, also known as Medusa and her two sisters, were common decorative motifs on temples beginning in the eighth century B.C. and reaching their peak of popularity in the sixth century B.C. Their image has been found to decorate various parts of the temple across Sicily, Southern Italy, Crete, and the Greek mainland. By analyzing the city in which the image was found, where on the temple the Gorgon was depicted, as well as stylistic variations, significant differences in these images were identified. While many of the Gorgon icons were used simply as decoration, others, such as those used as antefixes or in pediments may have been utilized as apotropaic devices to ward off evil. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my family and friends for all of their encouragement throughout this project. A special thanks to my parents, Kathy and Gary Heller, who constantly support me in all I do. I need to thank Dr Jim Theler and Dr Christine Hippert for all of the assistance they have provided over the past year, not only for this project but also for their help and interest in my academic future.

DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Linda Jane Piper, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1966 Approved by Adviser Department of History PREFACE The history of Sparta from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C; to the destruction of Corinth in 1^6 B.C. is the history of social revolution and Sparta's second rise to military promi­ nence in the Peloponnesus; the history of kings and tyrants; the history of Sparta's struggle to remain autonomous in a period of amalgamation. It is also a period in Sparta's history too often neglected by historians both past and present. There is no monograph directly concerned with Hellenistic Sparta. For the most part, this period is briefly and only inci­ dentally covered in works dealing either with the whole history of ancient Sparta, or simply as a part of Hellenic or Hellenistic 1 2 history in toto. Both Pierre Roussel and Eug&ne Cavaignac, in their respective surveys of Spartan history, have written clear and concise chapters on the Hellenistic period. Because of the scope of their subject, however, they were forced to limit them­ selves to only the most important events and people of this time, and great gaps are left in between.

  • 05 Coldstream 1749.Indd
    NICOLAS COLDSTREAM John Nicolas Coldstream 1927–2008 NICOLAS COLDSTREAM was born in Lahore on 30 March 1927, only son of John Coldstream, whose career was spent in the judicial arm of the Indian Civil Service and whose mother (Phyllis née Hambly) was from a military family, Lancers not Coldstreams. His father was knighted in 1938 after retirement but stayed on as fi rst minister of Kapurthala state until 1939. On returning to England the family took up residence in St John’s Wood, moving in 1952 to 180 Ebury Street, SWl. Nicolas, as he was always known, though too often with an added ‘h’, was educated at prep school in Eastbourne, then as a King’s scholar at Eton. St Cyprian’s at Eastbourne had a lasting impression on him, and he concurred with the picture of the school given by Cyril Connolly in Enemies of Promise and George Orwell in ‘Such, such were the joys’. He was one of the fi rst Raj children to travel by air, just once, in 1938, and his fi rst publication was based on it—Croydon to Kapurthala. My First Flight (Kapurthala, Jagatjit Electric Press, 1938); the Maharajah was so impressed that he had it privately printed at his own expense. His fi rst view of the Athenian Akropolis was when the plane stopped to refuel on this journey. At Eton he had to choose between his two best subjects, Classics and Mathematics, and plumped for the former; he much respected his Tutor, Francis Cruso.
