Socratic Perfectionism Ii, George Rudebusch Mar 2001

Socratic Perfectionism Ii, George Rudebusch

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

This paper is part two of an argument that Socrates is an agent-neutral perfectionist (like J. S. Mill) rather than an agent-relative perfectionist (e.g. in Crime and Punishment, the egoist Raskolnikov and the altruist Sophie). The argument is based on Plato's Lysis.

Thrown Away Like Rubbish - Disposal Of The Dead In Ancient Greece, Astrid Lindenlauf Jan 2001

Thrown Away Like Rubbish - Disposal Of The Dead In Ancient Greece, Astrid Lindenlauf

Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Faculty Research and Scholarship

In this article, the literary and archaeological evidence for burial practices that can be associated with the English expression ‘to be disposed of like rubbish’ are discussed. These disposal methods (átaphon rhíptesthai) include the exposure of corpses to carrion animals, to the elements, as well as the disposal of corpses into the sea, pits or natural fissures without burial rites. They also include cases in which graves were dug up in order to throw their contents out. Here, the Greek expressions for the English phrase ‘to be thrown away like rubbish’ are explored, as well as its relation …

Vor 199 Jahren veröffentlichte Josef von Hammer die erste moderne Entdeckung einer in die Steinwand eines Grabes im antiken Paphos (Kouklia) eingemeißelten kyprisch-syllabischen Inschrift.

Sie erwies sich als Schlüssel zur Entzifferung.

Cypriots To The West? The Evidence Of Their Potmarks, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld Jan 2001

Cypriots To The West? The Evidence Of Their Potmarks, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld

Classical Studies Faculty Research

Three amphora handles (Fig. 1), of Mycenaean type, bear the only possible traces of Cypriot writing found in Bronze Age Italy, and they are the only known possible direct traces of Cypriot participation in trade with the western Mediterranean in the Late Bronze Age. In this paper, I proceed first with a brief description of the marked handles and their provenience; second, I illustrate their Cypriot associations; and finally I discuss possible implications of this identification.

Barbarian Bond: Thracian Bendis Among The Athenians, Corinne Ondine Pache Jan 2001

Barbarian Bond: Thracian Bendis Among The Athenians, Corinne Ondine Pache

Classical Studies Faculty Research

In this chapter, I gather the evidence for the Athenian cult of the Thracian goddess Bendis, who was officially worshipped both by Thracians and by Athenian citizens from the end of the fifth century B.C. on. I also compare the historical record with the literary characterizations of the Thracians, and I examine the connection between religious, political, and ethnic identity and the ways in which the cult of Bendis reflects ambivalent Athenian attitudes toward their northern neighbors. The cult of Bendis in Athens reproduces on the level of ritual the polarity of Greeks versus barbarians that exists on the level …

The Mourning Of Alexander The Great, Jeanne Reames Jan 2001

The Mourning Of Alexander The Great, Jeanne Reames

History Faculty Publications

To say that Hephaistion's death devastated the conqueror merely repeats a commonplace. But was Alexander's subsequent bereavement excessive, or-to use clinical terms-pathological?l Pervading popular opinion has been a guarded (or not-so-guarded) "yes." Nonetheless, I propose to argue that a number of actions heretofore seen as abnormal are in fact behaviors typical of the bereaved. The difference in Alexander's case was due to his wealth and his authority: he could both afford such gestures and have them enforced.

Madonna De La Mer: Reflections Of Light And Memory, Amjad S. Faur Jan 2001

Madonna De La Mer: Reflections Of Light And Memory, Amjad S. Faur

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

The Pioneers of photography sought to document their lives with a new sense of reality and permanence. The results have persevered throughout photography's brief history as sparse, elegant, honest and strikingly beautiful images. My research uses late nineteenth century and early twentieth century equipment and techniques to document the timeless beauty, which connects us to those old photographs by creating portraits of people, which will deceive and nurture memory. Without our memories, we respond to the present with only survival instincts. Memory is our pool of reference for all experience. Only two basic elements, light and memory, are used as …

ʻEnot Shuni (Shuni Quarry) A-3458, Deborah A. Sklar-Parnes Jan 2001

ʻEnot Shuni (Shuni Quarry) A-3458, Deborah A. Sklar-Parnes

Favissa: Past Archaeological Excavation Reports

A salvage excavation was conducted at the Shuni Quarry in July–August 2001 under the direction of D. Sklar-Parnes, following the discovery of a shaft tomb during quarrying operations. The northern half of the shaft had been destroyed, while a handmade kettle was recovered from its southern half. Based on this find, together with reports of six additional shaft tombs discovered nearby, the excavator dated the use of the burial cave to the Early Bronze Age IV .

Agathon, Essentialism, And Gender Subversion In Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae, Anne Duncan Jan 2001

Agathon, Essentialism, And Gender Subversion In Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae, Anne Duncan

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

In Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae, the women of Athens, infuriated by Euripides' too-accurate portrayals of lustful and treacherous women, are plotting against him. Euripides and his kinsman come up with a plan to dress the kinsman in women's clothes and send him into the women's meeting as a spy. In order to dress the kinsman up, they stop at the house of Agathon, a notoriously effeminate tragic playwright, and ask to borrow some of his women's clothing and personal grooming items. The "robing scene” with Agathon has often been taken to be a straightforward, if devastating, mockery of a historical figure's peculiarities. …

Telling Wonders: Ethnographic And Political Discourse In The Work Of Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson Jan 2001

Telling Wonders: Ethnographic And Political Discourse In The Work Of Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson

Classics Faculty Works

Herodotus, the worldwide ethnographer and historian of the Persian Wars, provides a striking demonstration of how the account of past events of national history and the description of foreign peoples participate in the rhetoric of shaping attitudes about the present. Telling Wonders: Ethnographic and Political Discourse in the Work of Herodotus studies the narrative of the Histories in order to uncover the political message communicated to a Greek audience of the fifth century B.C.

Epic, The Oral Community, And The Memory Of Emancipation In Ralph Ellison's Juneteenth, Patrice Rankine Jan 2001

Epic, The Oral Community, And The Memory Of Emancipation In Ralph Ellison's Juneteenth, Patrice Rankine

Classical Studies Faculty Publications

As the recently published epistolary collection reveals, Ralph Ellison was an unabashed Americanist, for better and for worse. Ellison's faith in American identity and the democratic process, which is evident at the end of Invisible Man in the protagonist's determination to "affirm the principle on which the country was built [and not the men who did the violence]" (574), is again manifest in the posthumous novel, Juneteenth. According to John F. Callahan, Ellison's litearary executor, the novel celebrates "the indivisibility of the American experience" (Juneteeth xvi). James Alan McPherson (the African-American writer to whom Ellison showed a portion …

Wyclif And Lollardy, Stephen E. Lahey Jan 2001

Wyclif And Lollardy, Stephen E. Lahey

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

John Wyclif’s place in the history of Christian ideas varies according to the historian’s interest. As scholastic theology, Wyclif’s thought appears an heretical epilogue to the glories of the systematic innovations of the thirteenth century. Historians of the Protestantism, on the other hand, characterize him as a pioneer, the “Morning Star of the Reformation,” acknowledging his theology and the Lollard and Hussite movements associated with it as forerunners of sixteenth-century change. It has been difficult to understand Wyclif as a man of his age because the late fourteenth century itself is easily viewed as a period of transition from “Late …

Spellbinding Performance: Poet As Witch In Theocritus' Second Idyll And Apollonius' Argonautica, Anne Duncan Jan 2001

Spellbinding Performance: Poet As Witch In Theocritus' Second Idyll And Apollonius' Argonautica, Anne Duncan

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

The connection between poetry and enchantment in Greek literature is by now a familiar subject. The poet enchants (θέλει) his audience as a magician chants a spell or administers a drug, causing pleasure and the forgetfulness of pain in the listener. As with most other poetic topoi, this one goes back to Homer, to figures like Circe, the Sirens, and even Helen. In this paper, I will argue that two witches from Hellenistic poems should be regarded as poet-figures: Simaetha in Theocritus' Idyll 2, and Medea in Apollonius' Argonautica. Theocritus and Apollonius use the performing female voice of the witch …

Review Of Religion In The Dead Sea Scrolls, Edited By John J. Collins And Robert A. Kugler., Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

This volume is part of a series entitled Studies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature, edited by P. Flint, M. Abegg, Jr., and F. García Martínez.

The volume grew out of a conference at Trinity Western University on April 24, 1999 (the editors are thus to be congratulated on bringing the volume to publication rapidly). The introduction, written by John J. Collins, gives …

Introduction, Sulochana R. Asirvatham, Corinne Ondine Pache, John Watrous

Classical Studies Faculty Research

This book gathers essays that are all, in one way or another, connected with ancient Greek and Roman religions. The essays cover a wide range—both chronological and geographical—of religious discourse and practice from Classical Athens on to seventeenth-century America via medieval Europe. Thus, there is no attempt at comprehensiveness. Rather, we hope that these essays will serve to problematize some common distinctions that readers generally bring to the study of ancient Greek and Roman religion and its legacy—such as the distinctions between Greece and Rome, Greco-Romans and barbarians, pagans and Christians, religion and politics, and religion and magic, to name …
