Gods and Heroes of the Greeks
Gods and Heroes of the Greeks (1957) looks at the chief stories of Ancient Greece and how they influenced European literature for centuries. It accounts the later development of these stories, in and out of the Greek world
Ancient Greek Religion
Ancient Greek Religion (1948) looks at the religious beliefs and practices of classical Greece. Completely different to the religions as practiced today, the religion of ancient Greece had no creed, nothing like a code or system of morality that worshippers had to adhere to; nor was there a system of ecclesiastical authority. These fundamentally different facets are examined, and the picture of ancient religion is clarified and expanded
The Eclogues of Vergil
A Handbook of Latin Literature
First published in 1954, A Handbook of Latin Literature is an attempt to put together a cohesive account of classical and early post-classical writings in the Latin tongue, and is a companion to the Handbook of Greek Literature. The book traces the history of Latin literature from the earliest times down to the death of St. Augustine, and tackles both theological and non-theological interests of Christian authors. This book will be of interest to…

World Ages and the Body Politic
When, at an unknown but manifestly early period, speculation regarding the duration and destiny of the world began, the thinkers of those days had two analogies to guide them, and consequently two divergent conclusions were reached. The first was the recurrent cycle of the seasons; the second, the growth, maturity, decay and death of the human and all other animal bodies. Reasoning from the one, some arrived at the conclusion that the world, at l…
More West Highland Tales
The range of these stories is wide, from simple fairy stories, to stories based on Aesop's fables, from epic legend to a West Highland version of the Arabian nights
Roman Religion 1910–1960
When, in 1911, the first volume of JRS appeared it contained among other matter an article by W. Warde Fowler on ‘The Original Meaning of the word Sacer’. This was later (1920) reprinted in Roman Essays and Interpretations , 15–24, and is characteristic of its author, not only because of its keen insight into Roman ways of thought and full acquaintance with the relevant passages in Latin authors, but in its cautious and moderate use of the Compar…

Divine Names in Classical Greece
Herodotos (ii, 52) gives us the following theory, which I quote in the charming translation of Mr. J. E. Powell: And formerly the Pelasgians in all their sacrifices prayed unto The Gods. ... but they gave none of them any name or surname; for they had not yet heard thereof. ... But when a long time afterwards they learned from Egypt the names of all the gods except Dionysus, whose name they learned much later, they consulted the oracle at Dodona …
Second Thoughts On Hyginus
When in 1934 I edited the Fabulae (more correctly Genealogiae) of Hyginus x) I grappled with its many difficulties and strange aberrations as well as I could, but was not so inexperienced as to imagine that I had explained everything. From time to time I have noted on the margins of my copy various points on which further light has been thrown from later reading, or I have discovered a blunder in my work. This paper is a collection of those margi…
A New Omen
La Notion du Divin Depuis Homère Jusqu'à Platon
Divine Disguisings
When recently going through the second edition of Nilsson's Geschichte der griechischen Religion, Volume I, I came across a passing remark which seems to me to raise an interesting question not merely of Homeric criticism but concerning the attitude of the Greeks, at the time when their classical tradition regarding the gods was in process of formation, towards the question of the shapes assumed by those gods when they partly reveal themselves to…

Iolaos and the Ninth Pythian Ode
Having recently chosen to lecture on the Pythian Odes, and coming in due course to the ninth, I naturally consulted Dr. Farnell's translation and his article in the Classical Quarterly with regard to the puzzling question of the connexion in thought between lines 76–96 and the rest of the ode. Being more or less dissatisfied both with his views and with those of such other commentators as were known to me, I am now attempting to analyze the poem …
Horace and Pacuvius
So far as I am aware, the commentators on the above passage(Horace, Epp . I. 16, 73 sqq.)all say that it is imitated from Euripides, Bacchae 492 sqq., and the commentators on Euripides, loc. cit ., agree. It seems to me, however, that there is reason to suppose them all wrong; not of course that there is no connexion between the two passages, for there most obviously is, but that Horace is not imitating the Greek directly, but an imitation or ada…

Horace and the Oath by the Stone
‘Lapidem silicem tenebant iuraturi per Iouem, haec uerba dicentes: Si sciens fallo, tum me Dispiter salua urbe arceque bonis eiciat ut ego hunc lapidem.’ I do not propose to add to the mass of commentary and controversy which loads this passage of Paulus Diaconus (p. 102, 11 Lindsay), except to remind readers that it is a comparatively modern version (for the words are not archaic in form) of a very old formula. Under Dispiter lurks some early sh…
Tibullus 2, 3. 31–2
The notes of W. S. Maguinness on the Corpus Tibullianum contain several things which strike me as either true or at least highly plausible. In the above passage, however, I think both he and Postgate have missed the point of the first word. Tibullus has been telling the story of how Apollo turned herdsman for love's sake. He insists several times over that it is a story, not a thing he can vouch for. The infinitives in 14 a-c make it sufficiently…
Some Herodotean Rationalisms
I t is no longer the fashion to imagine Herodotos a liar when he tells marvellous stories, for some of his most extraordinary statements have long since been shown to contain at least a substantial measure of truth. It is perhaps not sufficiently realized, however, that on occasion he misleads his readers and himself by too much critical unbelief in his materials and consequent application of the crude methods of mythological investigation then c…
The Date of Iambulos
No ancient has told us in any surviving writing when Iambulos lived. Lucian says no more than that he composed a work obviously fabulous but quite amusing; Diodoros of Sicily, the only other author to mention him at all, earns our gratitude by excerpting his romance, apparently under the impression that it was sober fact. Moderns are accordingly vague in dating him. It is obvious that he must be earlier than or contemporary with Diodoros, whose h…
Fifty-Fifth Annual Report of the Council
Stesichoros and the Rhadine-Fragment
It is not without a certain feeling of surprise that I find the fragment preserved by Strabo VIII. 3, 20, and somewhat doubtfully ascribed by him to Stesichoros, still commonly attributed to that writer. As the purpose of this note is to give what seem to me cogent reasons for holding that no poem of such a metre and content could be by an author of any possible date earlier than Alexandrian times, I cite the passage of Strabo in full. It runs as…
An Unrecognized Fragment of Hyginus, Fabvlae
That a considerable fragment of the Fabulae of Hyginus—whoever Hyginus may have been and whenever he lived—exists in a Greek translation in the Hermeneumata Leidensia (C.G.L. III., p. 56, 30 sqq.) is well known to all students of his work. Indeed, this extract furnishes the terminus ante quem for Hyginus’ date in its opening words; I cite it as accented and punctuated by Schmidt (p. liv of his edition of the Fabulae , Jena, 1872): Maξμѱ ka “Aπρῳ …

Anchises and Aphrodite
This ancient tale has naturally been recognized by modern scholars for what it is—a story of the Great Mother and her paramour; but several features appear to me to have been given less examination than they deserve, in view of their own peculiarity and the obvious antiquity of the myth. That it is pre-Greek is fairly clear from the names of the principal actors. Anchises yields no tolerable meaning in Greek, and we do not know to what speech it …
On the Alleged Evidence for Mother-Right in Early Greece
IN this paper I propose to deal briefly with the question whether we can regard as certain or probable the existence in early Greece of that form of social organization com monly known as Mother-Right.It will be worth while also to notice any cases of apparent exogamy, for the two frequently, though not invariably, occur together.The reason, no doubt, is simply this. 1 Given a clan which normally seeks mates from outside, it will naturally desire…

Italian “Sondergötter.”
Since Usener put prominently forward the theory of Sondergötter, the idea has been subjected to trenchant negative criticism by two experts in the fields of Greek and Roman religion respectively, Farnell and Wissowa. The former protests, and rightly so, against the cheerful assumption that, whenever a deity has a name describing a function, “Saviour,” “Queen,” “Victory,” for example, we should regard him or her as a primitive Sondergott; since ma…

The Geeek of Cicero
It has occurred to me more than once that there was yet some work to be done on this topic, even after the meritorious and very accurate labours of Steele, the notes and indices of a series of editors, notably Ernesti, Orelli, and Tyrrell and Purser, and the dissertations of Bolzenthal, Font, and Laurand. Of these, the editors are concerned chiefly with establishing a correct text, and explaining the meanings of the words, which last task has for…

Patricians and Plebeians at Rome
It has been widely held since the days of Aretino (1369-1444) and more scientifically since those of Niebuhr, that the Patricians and the Plebeians were in origin two different peoples or races. I propose to show, firstly, that the Plebeians were never a people or a race at all; secondly, that the differences to which attention has been drawn are differences within the Patrician body itself, the result of its development from at least three stock…

The Inauguration of Numa
Livy i, 18, 6, describing the accession of the second King of Rome, provides food for much thought on the part of those who are interested in the religious ideas of early Italy, and gives us the material for a brisk controversy which is far from being settled. Despite therefore the familiar contents of this passage, I quote the part of it which is most important for our purpose. Accitus ... de se quoque deos consuli iussit. inde ab augure, cui de…

Qvaestiones Herodeae
The sumptuous edition of Herodas by Headlam-Knox, while it throws welcome light on many dark places, is perhaps hardly adequate in a few points where ancient religious ideas are involved. I venture, therefore, to offer the following suggestions: I. II and 66, μà τàς Моίρας. IV.30, πρòς Моιρέων. I. 32,μà τήν Αϊδεω (?) Κούρην. I. 69, μà ... τήν Φίλην δήμητρα

Some Neglected Points in the Fourth Eclogue
To add without good reason to the already enormous literature surrounding the most fascinating and puzzling of all Vergil's works ought, nowadays, to be regarded as an offence against learning. My excuse for this article is that even the latest work on the subject, Ed. Norden's charming monograph, Die Geburt des Kindes (Teubner, Leipzig, 1924), appears to me wrong on one important point, inadequate on another
