End of the Hylas Episode. in III, Prompted by Juno, a Water COMMENTARY – End of the Hylas episode. In III, prompted by Juno, a water nymph abducted Hylas, and the Argonauts after arguing sailed off without Her- cules, as he searched frenziedly for the boy. Here (at –) Jupiter up- braids Juno for her meddling and gives Hercules the relief of sleep. Next (at –) Hylas’ phantom appears to the hero in a dream, explaining what has happened; he tries in vain to embrace it, bewails their separa- tion, but finally departs, resigned. Then (at –) as he heads for Troy, Jupiter at Apollo’s instigation sends Iris to tell him to free Prometheus instead, and he gladly obeys. The transition from the end of book is managed with care. Rather unexpectedly but smoothly enough VF continues with the same episode (in particular ea in . picks up directly Hercules’ suffering at .ff.). To ease the progression further, there are verbal echoes (especially pater of a god at ., .; amor at ., .; solus at ., .; comes at ., .), and thematic links (the aporia of the static Hercules at . and .ff.; the Argonauts’ abandonment of him at .f. and .f.; fear at .f. and .; and futile calling for Hylas at .f. and .f.). On a larger scale the angry speech by Jupiter about the loss of Hercules at .ff. recalls that by Telamon at . ff. (both mention how much joy (gaudia) his absence causes in some quarters, criticize the Argonauts for leaving him, and talk of how much he will be missed amid fearsome dangers); and there are two parallel similes applied to the sorrowing Hercules— the halcyon (. ff.) and the lioness (. ff.) mourning the loss of their young. This is a striking start to the book, with the abrupt switch to a higher plane (for which cf. Stat. Theb. .ff.), the very emotional speech by Jupiter, the surprising and novel continuation of the Hylas narrative (which acts as a ‘hook’, making us read on to see how things develop) and the lively progression (Jupiter goes from anger to gentleness, Her- cules’ shouts are silenced, Hylas suddenly reappears and so on). This is also a playful start. VF opens the book with closure (of the Hylas episode, and of Hercules’ relationship with the boy and participation in Jason’s quest), as well as ending the Hylas story with beginnings (of his commentary existence as a deity, and of the liberation of Prometheus). The poet tricks his readers too, making it seem initially that the serious and gloomy tone of III will be maintained in IV. In fact before too long a lightness of mood emerges (which suits this book’s generally more cheerful and upbeat atmosphere), and there is a happy ending at f., which looks for- ward to all the other happy endings in IV. An apt introduction to what ensues is also provided by the strong emotional appeal here (tempered by subtle point and humour, so that the pathos does not become mawkish- ness) and the various intellectual aspects (the elegance, ingenuity, inno- vation, combative and functional doctrina etc.). There is thematic fore- shadowing as well. For example, on a minor level Juno’s harrying of Her- culesispickedupbyherpersecutionofIo(atff.),andtheprophecyby JupiterandHylasprefigurestheseerPhineus.Moresubstantially,closure is important: unpleasantness ends here for Hercules and (in prospect) Prometheus, as it will in the major sections that follow (Amycus’ killing is stopped, the suffering of Io and Phineus is terminated, and the Sym- plegades cease clashing). In addition, divine intervention bulks large at –, and will also be a factor in all four of those major sections later in this book. In his handling of the earlier part of the Hylas episode in III VF had made major deviations from AR’s version (.–), such as drop- ping Polyphemus, introducing the stag for Hylas to chase and making Juno the one behind the abduction of the boy (see esp. Koch ff., Gar- son , Adamietz ff., Traglia ff., Mauerhofer ff.). That pro- cess is in evidence here too. At .ff. AR ends the Hylas narrative with an enraged Hercules rushing around futilely in the area where Hylas vanished and occasionally pausing to shout his name, like a bull stung by a gadfly. At . ff. VF depicts a helpless Hercules refusing to leave theplaceoftheboy’sdisappearanceandlikenstheherotoagrieving lioness that has lost her cub. Because there are clear similarities between these two passages, and VF has reached the end of book there, and no other author takes the story of Hylas beyond that point, most readers will assume that the incident is over as book concludes, and that the final twist lies in the more pointed choice of the lioness for the simile (and the contaminatio,ifthatanimalwassuggestedbyTheoc.Id. .ff.). But there is false closure, and a much more substantial variation, as IV opens with an intriguing brand-new addition and a series of surprises (taking us up into heaven, giving Hercules respite etc.). VF also inverts extensively and tops Hercules’ exit from the Argo’s quest in AR (where he just drops out of the narrative, fruitlessly raging, roaming and stop-.

Ich dachte, etwas hat er doch gelesen, als ich VII 149 eine Anspielung auf den Orestes des Euripides, VII 301 auf die Bakchen fand. Aber beides stammt aus der Aeneis IV 479. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorf 1924, II, 165, n. 2 (on Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica ) 1. Introduction: the epic potential of Valerius’ Hylas In the previous chapters it was argued that Hylas, in the Hellenistic and Augustan ages, was associated with Callimachean poetry. In Roman poetry, these poetics, as is well-known, were interpreted more rigidly than they were conceived of by Callimachus himself as anti-epic. 488 It is therefore striking that in Valerius Flaccus’ Flavian epic Argonautica , Hylas initially seems to fulfil an epic role. When the Greek heroes assemble to join the Argonautic expedition at the beginning of the epic and Hercules and Hylas are introduced, Hylas is described as happily carrying the hero’s weapons: Protinus Inachiis ultro Tirynthius Argis advolat, Arcadio cuius flammata veneno tela puer facilesque umeris gaudentibus arcus gestat Hylas; velit ille quidem, sed dextera nondum par oneri clavaeque capax.

  • Character Conflation in Book Four of Ovid's Metamorphoses
    Anatomizing the Archetype: Character Conflation in Book Four of Ovid's Metamorphoses Despite the abundance of ancient sculptures and paintings that lend color and shape to the dualities of Hermaphroditus, Ovid's myth of Hermaphroditus is the earliest extant Roman text to fully flesh out the narrative behind this ambiguous figure. Recent discussions of this myth have explored Ovid's attempt to "surprise" his audience much in the manner that sculptures of Hermaphroditus may evoke puzzlement, shock, and laughter upon a viewer's eventual apprehension of Hermaphroditus' anatomical surplus (Groves Forthcoming). Beyond statuary, however, few scholars have located sources for Ovid's narrative aside from the Salmacis inscription and Diodorus Siculus' brief anecdote. Additionally, too many scholars choose to focus on Hermaphroditus' long attested associations with marriage rather than tackling the narrative's gender and sexuality difficulties head on (Romano 2009). In order to lend more support to the arguments for Hermaphroditus' role as a symbol for the sexually passive male (Swancutt 2007, Nugent 1989), this paper will argue that Ovid found inspiration for his Hermaphroditus in the Greek myths of Heracles' beloved, Hylas. I will propose that Ovid conflates the eromenos archetype represented by Hylas with the androgynous features earlier ascribed to Hermaphroditus in order to fully engender the passive figure in all of its sexual inscrutability. The beginning of this paper will engage in textual analysis to illuminate the similarities in plot, characterization, and topography shared by Ovid's narrative of Hermaphroditus and the narratives of Hylas in Theocritus' Idyll 13 and Book 1 of Apollonius' Argonautica. Both poems are rife with the same bucolic imagery, young male victim, translucent body of water, and, perhaps most importantly, the female rapist nymph(s)—all of which appear together in later myths of Hylas and Ovid's myth of Hermaphroditus, but nowhere else.

  • Nereids Naiads New Brides.Pdf
    Nereids Naiads New Brides Many are familiar with the rich classical literature inspired by Greek mythology, from Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey to Euripides’ Oedipus Rex. Accounts of ancient myths like these not only gave voice to men’s fears but also justified the patriarchal customs and attitudes prevalent in their society. A deep anxiety among Greek men surrounded women’s sexual passions and the need to control them. Men often viewed unmarried virgins as wild, needing to be tamed through marriage. Men doubted, however, that this would guarantee chastity, and they still feared feminine power through sexuality. Thus, women were bound by strict social expectations that set safeguards for their sexuality through separation and seclusion. The nymph—virginal yet promiscuous, chaste yet hypersexual— embodies this anxiety. The Greek word νύμφη (numphē) not only refers to a mythical being but also a “bride.” The term was used to describe a woman soon to be married or one who had already married but had not yet had her first child. This was a time of transition for girls becoming women, leaving behind their toys for housework and children. Nymphs, too, occupied this transitional space. These sexual females living outside mainstream society represented the sex lives of new brides. This exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the constraints on feminine sexuality in two contexts: in the gynaeceum, or the women’s space of ancient Greece, and in representations of nymphs throughout art history. The gynaeceum illustrates how women were separated from the males of the household, and containing objects that would have populated it in ancient Greece.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Pseudo-Apollodoros’ Bibliotheke is undeniably the most useful single source for the mythical tradition of Greece. Enclosing in a short space a remarkable quantity of information, it offers concise and comprehensive accounts of most of the myths that had come to matter beyond local boundaries, providing its readers with their most popular variants. This study concentrates on the most familiar stories contained in the first book of the Bibliotheke and their proper place in the overall structure of Greek mythology. Chapter One is dedicated to the backbone of Apollodoros’ work: the chronological organisation of Greek mythical history in genealogies. It discusses the author’s individual plan in the arrangement and presentation of his material and his conscious striving for cohesion.

Gyorkos; McMaster University - Classics McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (Classics) TITLE: The Rape of Hylas in Theocritus Idyll 13 and Propertius 1.20 AUTHOR: Andrew Gyorkos, B.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Professor Paul Murgatroyd NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 118 ii Master’s Thesis – A. Gyorkos; McMaster University - Classics LAY ABSTRACT The rape of Hylas is a minor event occurring during the famed expedition of the Argo. A handsome boy named Hylas, who is the beloved of the mighty hero Heracles, fetches water during a brief landing on their voyage to Phasis. As Hylas draws water from a spring, water nymphs abduct him. Heracles, now bereaved, rampages madly in futile search while the other Argonauts sail on without him. Such are the general details of the Hylas myth. This thesis examines two versions of the Hylas myth, the first by Theocritus, a third century BC Hellenistic poet, and the second by Propertius, a first century BC Roman poet. My objective is to prove definitively that these two accounts are connected, with Propertius having modelled his treatment on the rendition provided by Theocritus. This will be achieved through a thorough literary-critical appreciation, with particular focus on wit, humour, and narrative.
