Pomp and Pastoralia in Theokritos’ Idyll 7
SIMICHIDAS, a townsman, travels with friends to a harvest festival on the island of Kos. On the way he meets a goatherd, Lykidas, whom he challenges to an exchange of pastoral song. Lykidas' production, recently created 'on the mountain' (since Hesiod the site of the Muses' workshop), breathes the atmosphere of, say, Theokritos' First Idyll: pastoral heroes of song and suffering like Daphnis and Komatas, sentient nature, gentle pathos. Simichidas…

A Hellenistic Medley
i. Theokr. Idyll 3. 12 ff. Theokritos introduces us to a goatherd forlornly serenading Amaryllis before her cave. As has been observed more than once, the poet has transferred the theme of the paraklausithyron from the normal urban setting to a bucolic world, in order to create a comically incongruous scene. Gilbert Lawall x) has recently remarked with justice: whole serenade is a patchwork of adaptations from conventional love poetry. But have t…

Door Magic and The Epiphany Hymn
The existence of Otto Weinreich's excellent Türöffnung im Wunder-, Prodigienund-und Zauberglauben der Antike, des Judentums und Christentums continues to make an apology necessary for any re-examination of texts in which doors are made, or encouraged, spontaneously to open, to admit a divinity or, occasionally, to speed his departure. But what little fresh sustenance remains to be sucked from some of these well-gnawed bones may now be usefully su…

Studies in Aithon II
STUDIES IN AITHON II: THEOGNIS I209-I2I6 BY K. J. McKAY For my analysis of this poem I assume, with Gaisford and Hudson- Williams among others, that 1209-io and 1211-16 are not to be separated. Both 1209 and 1216 contain mystifications and it is natural to regard them as introducing and closing the same poem. The difficulty of the passage is principally associated with the meaning of the opening clause x). Reitzenstein, who separated the two sect…

STUDIES IN AITHON BY K. J. McKAY i. Hesiod Op. 363 There has been wide disagreement among scholars on the pro- priety of introducing Hesiod 363 into any discussion of the Erysichthon-Aithon story.

The Griphos
When I read, rather belatedly, Professor Davison's article on Theognis 257–66 in C.R. ix (1959), 1–5, I found myself remembering somewhat uncomfortably that I have an article awaiting publication in Mnemosyne in which I present a new interpretation of Theognis 1209–16 as a griphos . Against Carriere, Davison remarks that it would be easier to accept 261–6 as a griphos ‘if there were any serious evidence for the prevalence of in the Theognidean co…
