On The Noble And The Beautiful: An Essay In The Poetry Of Sappho And Tyrtaeus, Richard Reed Dworin Jan 2008

On The Noble And The Beautiful: An Essay In The Poetry Of Sappho And Tyrtaeus, Richard Reed Dworin

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

This thesis contends that Sappho's Fr. 16 is intended to oppose the definition of the term Καλόѵ in Tyrtaeus' elegies 10 and 12. An analysis of Tyrtaeus 10 reveals the poet's attempt to institute a new civic courage in Sparta, one shaped by an understanding of honor and shame centered around the young man's willingness to fight and, if necessary, die in battle. Remarkably, the successful practitioner of this courage will literally come to sight differently in the eyes of his fellow citizens. In Tyrtaeus 12, this courage is more clearly defined as τò Καλλɪσɪoѵ, the focus of a new …

Later Christian Hebraists, Stephen G. Burnett Jan 2008

Later Christian Hebraists, Stephen G. Burnett

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Christian Hebrew scholarship as an academic discipline was born during the sixteenth century. The founding of chairs of Hebrew language at European universities, the emergence of Hebrew presses to supply the needs of Christian customers, the willingness of some Jewish experts to instruct Christian pupils, and above all the humanist motivation for a return to the sources of the Christian faith together made Hebrew education possible for greater numbers of Christian scholars than ever before. The majority of these scholars had only a smattering of Hebrew, and those such as Conrad Pellican, and Paul Fagius who could read and understand …

These include figural depictions and literary references with some of the later addressing rules of civilized behavior. This study will explore the existing material with an attempt to find the extent to which the visual imagery reflects the social rules as described in the surviving literary texts.

Cet essai prend comme point de départ Ia conclusion de Ia Théogonie. Le poème d'Hésiode nous dit I'origine du monde et la naissance des dieux, un récit qui mène à la victoire et au règne suprême de Zeus sur le monde divin. Mais l'histoire ne finit pas Ià: au vers 963, l’aède invoque à nouveau les Muses et chante un catalogue à la gloire des déesses qui reposèrent dans les bras des mortels et donnèrent le jour à des enfants. La question de l’authenticité de ce catalogue a beaucoup occupé les spécialistes et certains ont même avancé I 'hypothèse qu …


The Potmarks From Troy Vi-Vii In The Berlin Schliemann Collection, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld Jan 2008

The Potmarks From Troy Vi-Vii In The Berlin Schliemann Collection, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld

Classical Studies Faculty Research

More than a century of excavations on and around the citadel of Troy have uncovered a total of only fifteen Late Bronze Age (LB) ceramic vases with non-decorative mark(s) incised into their rim, handle, belly or base. Surely potmarks have been Overlooked or lost in the course of the tremendous labors of digging and sorting. On the other hand, in the absence of the discovery of archives, the excavators of Troy have been on the look-out for signs of writing of the briefest sort on the humblest kinds of objects. For example, already the first volume of Schliemann's publications is …
