Disaster revisited
The allegory of Ate and the Litai recounted to Achilles by his old tutor Phoenix in Iliad 9.502–12 is one of the most studied examples of personification in Homer. Ate is a sort of temporary blinding of mind, infatuation, delusion or the like, which leads one to serious errors. It can also mean the serious consequences of such errors or the agent which causes such mental conditions, most notably personified as the goddess Ate. The Litai are the p…
Use of Homeric References in Plato and Xenophon
This article examines the use of Homeric quotations and references in Plato and Xenophon, and is intended as a contribution to the debate over so-called Socratic problem. The distribution of such references in both authors indicates that the historical Socrates probably did use Homeric references frequently in his conversation, but the myth-making out of Homeric elements is unique to Plato's Socrates and therefore is likely to be more Platonic th…
Plato, Memory, and Performance
Plato, Memory, and Performance Naoko Yamagata (bio) It is now widely recognized among classicists that in the culture of classical Greece, that is, in the fifth to fourth century B.C.E., the element of "performance" played a prominent role in various aspects of daily life. The term "performance culture" is often applied to classical Greece, especially to Athens, in reference to many areas where the citizens conducted their activities in public, s…
Ἂναξ and βασιλεύς in Homer
ἂναξ and βασιλε⋯ς are the two most important titles applied to the top stratum of Homeric aristocracy., usually translated as ′lord′ or ′master′, and βασιλε⋯ς, usually translated as ′king′, often apply to the same individuals, and can at times appear to be very close in meaning, allowing translators to render ἂναξ as ′king′ and βασιλε⋯ς as ′lord′. There are, however, significant differences between the two. As Lexikon des friihgriechischen Epos (…
Phoenix's Speech – is Achilles Punished
Phoenix's speech in Book 9 of the Iliad is generally considered prophetic of what happens to Achilles later in the story. Many scholars have argued that Achilles is punished by Zeus through ἄτη (of either Achilles or Patroclus) which causes the death of Patroclus, just as anyone who spurns the Litai in the allegory of Phoenix will be punished by Ate sent by Zeus. The Meleager episode is also regarded as reflecting almost exactly what happens late…
