When a Gesture Was Expected
When a Gesture Was Expected
Some Attic Red-Figure Scenes
This chapter discusses three scenes drawn from the corpus of Attic red-figure vase-painting to show how pictured gestures invite certain interpretations, and create some ambiguities, and in one case deliver what may be a political message. The Vote on the Arms, a legendary event that in its original telling could not have included such later implements as ballots, inspired a number of early Attic Red Figure painters to compose a version in which …
Tragedy
This chapter focuses on tragic dramas, which were written to be spoken, sung, danced, and acted out. Actors' movements of hand and body could alert audiences to single words or phrases that were meant to be quotations. Kratos is an example near the beginning of Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound . In other scenes in Aeschylus's Agamemnon , Choephoroi , and Eumenides , conditional sentences are completed by gesture. Nonverbal communication likewise prov…
Orators
This chapter addresses orators, differentiating between forensic oratory and deliberative or display oratory. Oratory had a long history in Greece, and Homer attests the power of persuasion long before the art of oratory receives its formal name. By the late fifth century, a highly developed system of popular courts had evolved at Athens. As a result, men who knew how to compose persuasive arguments gained power for themselves by speaking in asse…
Aristophanes
This chapter assesses Aristophanes, who is represented by eleven complete comedies and more than a thousand fragments of other plays. From antiquity on, his earlier plays, i.e., those produced between 426 and 405 B.C.E., belong to a classification called Old Comedy in recognition of certain distinguishing characteristics such as bawdiness, attacks on public figures, and freewheeling inventions, as opposed to the milder situation comedies of Middl…
Archaic Poets
This chapter evaluates two renowned poets: one, Archilochus, who lived in the early Archaic age of Greece, and the other, Pindar, who lived at its close and on into the time we call Classical. Their audiences and their modes of performance may have differed, but the two poets spoke the same essential language, and that language included nonverbal communication. Some fragments of Archilochus's poems preserve evocative words or phrases whose articu…
Resistance to Change in the Law at Athens
Athenian Identity and Civic Ideology
"In Athenian Identity and Civic Ideology Alan Boegehold and Adele Scafuro bring together a group of leading scholars who explore the nature and meaning of Athenian citizenship. Departing from the narrow perspective of constitutional historians and embracing sociological concerns as well, the range of topics attests to a broad vision of the concepts of citizenship and civic ideology in a society in which the boundary between public and private, se…

The Decrees of the Greek States
The many states of the ancient greek world were governed by small councils and assemblies of adult male citizens. The decisions of these bodies took the form of decrees. This book collects the evidence for decrees, many of which were inscribed on stone or metal, or appear in literary texts - either directly quoted, or indirectly reported. This evidence is used by Professor Rhodes, with Professor Lewis, to study the decision-making procedures of t…

Two ‘Fragmenta Dubia Incertae Sedis’, Possibly Comic
Eustathios, in his commentary to Homer's Iliad 768.20–2 preserves two elements of Attic speech which could derive originally from comedy. Although neither of them appears as so much as a conjecture in standard collections, a possibility that they are quotations from a lost comedy merits testing. They may, as it turns out, even be fragments of a comedy by Kratinos. The argument for this possibility rests on a manner Eustathios (and other Greek wri…
Thucydides
A Signifying Gesture
Editors and translators have not been able to agree on the sense of the word ὠλένηι in Euripides, Iphigeneia Taurica, line 965. Athena, judging at the κρίσις ὅπλων in some red-figured vase-paintings, makes a gesture that can help to explain what Euripides' audience understood by the word
Machon, Frag. 5 (Gow)
Readers have suspected but not explained in satisfactory detail a double entendre at the end of Machon, chria 5. Two considerations, hitherto neglected, allow an interpretation wherein dinner conversation at Ptolemy's table and intimations of Athenian juridical procedures are accomplished by the same set of three words. The considerations are: 1. how certain fish use stones, and 2. lopas as vessel in which documents were sealed. The words: λοπάς,…

Philokleon's Court
T is possible that a topographical reference can be enucleated from Philokleon's prayer, but first the currents of humor in these lines must be charted and reliable elements in traditional information about Lykos isolated. This essay is divided into three sections: 1) an analysis of ancient reports concerning Lykos, 2) an interpretation of Aristophanes, Wasps, 387-394, 3) a suggestion as to the location of Philokleon's law court
