The Oath, the Fish and the Goddess
This article offers the first systematic analysis and interpretation of a rubric in the Marmarini inscription that concerns oath-taking (lines A 48–55). Due to existing textual problems and references to unusual ritual gestures, this part of the inscription has been considered obscure. The article proposes new readings in the fragmentary lines, analyzes the rubric formally and contextualizes significant aspects of the oaths with relevant Greek an…
A Verbal Symbolon of Shared Exclusion-Inclusion
This article identifies a motif in Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus that has previously gone unnoticed. It argues that wine-drinking as a socioreligious rite and symbol of participation in society provides a semantic framework for the striking collocation νήφων ἀοίνοις in line 100. The article shows that the shared sobriety of Oedipus and the Eumenides relates directly to the main theme of the play: the tension between Oedipus’ situation as a pollut…

This article presents an edition with introduction and commentary of two unpublished letters that Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff wrote to the art historian and cultural scholar Aby Warburg in the 1920 s. The edition completes a correspondence that includes a letter from Warburg that has already been published several times. The two letters cast light on the hitherto barely known relation of Wilamowitz to Warburg himself and to his Kulturwisse…
Die „Libation des Gottes“ und die Blendung des Kyklopen – Überlegungen zu Euripides’ Kyklops 469–471
The comparison by which the Chorus of Satyrs in Euripides’ C yclops 469–471 illustrates its wish to participate in the blinding of the Cyclops is regarded as difficult in research on the play, due to the ambiguous expression ὥσπερ ἐκ σπονδῆς θεοῦ (469). There is no consensus either on the question of how the reference to libation is to be understood, nor on whether the transmitted phrasing is correct at all. In the present paper I attempt to show…
The Politics of Religion
Euripides’ Bacchae is one of the most intensively studied Greek tragedies. Generations of scholars have explored the play from different perspectives and offered fascinating insights. But there are still aspects that have not received the attention they deserve. One such aspect is Euripides’ use of libation as a dramatic motif. Even though this motif relates directly to the question of the tragic conflict between Dionysus and Pentheus, it has nev…
Erinys in Epos, Tragödie und Kult
Erinys in Epos, Tragödie und Kult
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic account of erinys in ancient Greek literature and cult. The author shows that the different usages and appearances of erinys , including non-personal and personal, singular and plural, correspond to each other as expressions of an extended concept of the curse. This concept, which played an essential role in religion and society, also underlies the cults of the Semnai theai and Eumenides
