Dionysus and polis religion
According to many myths, Dionysus, the ‘mad’ god, was initially seen as representing a threat to the order of the polis. But the myths also tell of how Dionysus always overcame resistance, often violently. Historically, Dionysus had an accepted and often prominent place in the cult system of every Greek polis that we can observe in any detail. But a few cases of unofficial Dionysiac cults being suppressed are known, though nothing on the scale of…
Two Attitudes to Divination in Eunapius
A passage in Eunapius (476–7, pp. 440–2 Loeb) draws an interesting contrast between the attitudes to divination of the two sophists Maximus and Chrysanthius: Maximus, who manipulates the omens until they say what he wants, and Chrysanthius, who scrupulously obeys their apparent meaning. But a passage a little later (500–1, pp. 542–4 Loeb) apparently ascribes to Chrysanthius the opposite attitude. This article suggests a transposition to restore c…

The Historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the Gods
This article looks in detail at Dionysius’ presentation of the role of what he calls ‘the daimonion’ in human affairs; he sees it often at work, usually in support of justice and thus, in the main, of Rome; he regularly sees providence guiding Roman fortunes, but also deplores contemporary neglect for the guidance provided by divination. It notes the traditional stories that he rejects as ‘myth-like’ (μυθώδη), but also the many about which he is …

Industrial ecology for the oceans
Human interaction with ocean resources has historically been challenging due to the difficulties that arise when a terrestrial species aims at becoming successful in a marine environment. Shipwrecks, for instance, have doomed coastal communities for centuries, and even today fishing is one of the deadliest sectors in the labor force. Similarly, human-induced marine environmental catastrophes, such as oil spills for instance (Trevors & Saier, 2010…
How accessibility and transportation options affect neighborhood livability
Promoting accessibility and expanding transportation options are at the center of many livability programs. Using the 2017 Oregon Livability Survey administered in three regions in Oregon, this paper studies the livability impacts of accessibility and transportation options in the broader context of residential preferences and choices. Findings show that residents valued accessibility and transportation options in both livability conceptualizatio…
Navigating sustainability and health trade-offs in global seafood systems
Seafood is expected to play a key role in improving access to healthy diets while providing food products with relatively low rates of greenhouse gas emissions. However, both nutrients and carbon footprints vary among species and production methods, and seafood consumption is further influenced by price and consumer preference, such that it is unclear which species are best placed to provide low-emissions nutritious seafood. Here, we use seafood …
Methods matter
Making food systems more sustainable is one of humanity’s largest challenges. Over two decades of life cycle assessment research on the environmental performance of food systems has helped to inform efforts to address this challenge. In recent years, there has been much interest in aggregating the results of these studies at scales of national production, dietary patterns, and future food scenarios. The process of comparing impacts of diverse pro…
Evaluating the Oregon Experiential Learning Model
Experiential learning has long been integral to planning education. For decades, the University of Oregon has offered a unique experiential model involving paying clients supported by nontenure track faculty. We utilize surveys and interviews to evaluate nine years of course delivery in relation to learning outcomes, work quality, and lessons learned. We found the model provides thorough professional training and excellent products due largely to…
The Early Greek Alphabets
Regional variation, a persistent feature of Greek alphabetic writing throughout the Archaic period, has been studied since at least the late nineteenth century. The subject was transformed by the publication in 1961 of Lilian H. (Anne) Jeffery's Local Scripts of Archaic Greece (reissued with a valuable supplement by A. Johnston in 1990), based on first-hand study of more than a thousand inscriptions. Much important new evidence has emerged since …

Evaluating Networks for Collaborative Planning and Management
Collaboration is used to address a range of complex problems, but there is less research on ongoing collaboration networks. We use interviews, document analysis, focus groups, and a survey to evaluate transportation networks in Oregon. Participants were positive about network operations, but the research highlighted how a centralized network limited goal sharing and multilevel functioning. Information procedures built group expertise and defined …
Greek Gods Abroad
From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and largely adopted by the indigenous populations. By the third century b.c., gods bearing Greek names were worshipped everywhere from Spain to Afghanistan, with the resulting religious systems a variable blend of Greek and indigenous elements. Greek Gods Abroad examines the interaction between Greek religion and the cultures …
On Greek Religion
"There is something of a paradox about our access to ancient Greek religion. We know too much, and too little. The materials that bear on it far outreach an individual's capacity to assimilate: so many casual allusions in so many literary texts over more than a millennium, so many direct or indirect references in so many inscriptions from so many places in the Greek world, such an overwhelming abundance of physical remains. But genuinely revealin…

Regionality and Greek Ritual Norms
This article asks to what extent Greek ritual norms are homogeneous throughout the Greek world. It looks in particular at rules concerning priesthoods, purity and sacrifice. Only the first group displays a clear regional line of division: sale of priesthoods is only attested in the east Greek world, beginning at Andros. That distinction aside, some local singularities or outliers occur in all categories, and some differences that must be due to e…
Miasma
Anyone who has sampled a few of the most commonly read Greek texts will have encountered pollution. In tragedy, the plague at the opening of the Oedipus Tyrannus is caused by it, it precipitates Creon’s repentance in the Antigone, while Orestes in the Oresteia, although he is driven to the matricide by the fear of one pollution, is seized by another after performing it. In history, it plays, perhaps, a larger part than any other religious motif i…
Athenian Religion
Tantalizingly inadequately documented, ancient Greek religion can all too easily be reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains and so-called "ritual objects", or the isolated interpretation of other scattered fragments of evidence. This authoritative new work is an innovative attempt to bridge the gap that usually divides Greek religion from Greek history, setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary events and politics. The book dis…
Herodotus and his World
This book contains detailed studies of a number of individual passages and episodes (which always turn out to have wider ramifications for the understanding of Herodotus or for the history of the archaic and classical Greek world, or both) as well as considerations of wider themes (perceptions of ethnicity and ideas of ‘tradition’, of historical space and about the origins of history). Topics included are: prophecy, oracle-selling, and resurrecti…

Athenian Myths and Festivals
Moving out from a particular problem about a particular Athenian festival, this book investigates central questions concerning Athenian festivals and the myths that underlay them. It examines the role played at festivals by hereditary religious associations, showing how simple actions of undressing, veiling, bathing, and re-dressing a statue created a symbolic drama of abnormality, reversion to primeval time, and renewal for the Athenians. The bo…
Athenian democratic origins
In these interconnected essays the late Geoffrey de Ste. Croix defends the institutions of the Athenian democracy, showing that they were much more practical, rational, and impartial than has usually been acknowledged. A major essay provides a new view of Aristotle's use of sources in The Constitution of the Athenians, on which so much of our knowledge of Athenian constitutional history depends. Ste. Croix also argues that commercial factors had …

The Influence of Place on the Willingness to Pay for Ecosystem Services
Sense of place, including an individual’s attitudes toward specific geographic settings, is generally predicted to influence willingness to engage in place-protective behaviors. Relatively little research, however, has empirically examined the influence of people’s attitudes toward a place on their willingness to pay for environmental protection. Using the example of a payment for ecosystem services (PES) initiative in the McKenzie River watershe…

Athena in Anatolia
This article investigates the penetration of the cult of Athena into Anatolia beyond the old-established Greek cities of the coastline. A major problem is how to treat numismatic evidence; whereas in inscriptions in many regions, Phrygia above all, Athena is almost unattested as a recipient of cult, she appears on the coinage of many cities. I argue for a differentiated approach which will allow coin depictions to be taken as evidence for cult on…

Time distribution of CHW activities
20 of the 72 active community health workers (CHWs) in 1 community health program in Kenya were randomly selected for observational visits in an attempt to assess the proportion of time spent on curative versus preventive activities by CHWs. Each CHW was notified of the visit as a supervisory visit without reference to observation. Once on site the supervisor and a recorder explained the observation process to the CHW and then joined the CHW in m…

Revueltas in San Antonio and Mobile
Little has been written about the thirty-two months composer Silvestre Revueltas spent in San Antonio, Texas, and Mobile, Alabama, from the spring of 1926 to the end of 1928. Much of the reason for this lack of information is that he wrote so little about it himself. A few letters to family and friends provide only a bare outline of his life and work during that period of U.S. residency. That his return to Mexico at the end of this somewhat obscu…
Carlos Chávez and the ballet
In the early decades of the twentieth century, ballet music-once scorned by most serious composers-developed a new importance. It was just that everyone was writing ballets at the time, wrote Arthur Berger in his biography of Aaron Copland. Under the enlightened dictatorship of Sergei Diaghilev, this genre was enjoying a powerful vogue.1 After Diaghilev had created a dynamic style in which music and scene design became integral parts of the dance…

Sex, Women, and Ambiguous Animals
ing a more general from a more specific description, as when Levi-Strauss makes bone 'the reverse of food' or a thorn-bush 'nature hostile to man' (cf. D. Sperber in J. Sturrock, ed., Structuralism and Since, 1979, p. 22); 'inedibility' is not the only notion that 'bone' can evoke. In the present case the problem is intensified by the vagueness of the concepts of 'anomaly' and 'boundary-breaking'. For Greece the only explicit preAristotelian evid…
Miasma
Anyone who has sampled even a few of the most commonly read Greek texts will have encountered pollution. The pollution of bloodshed is a frequent theme of tragedy: Orestes is driven mad; Oedipus brings plague upon all Thebes. In historical texts we find cities intervening in the internal affairs of others to 'drive out the pollution', or making war on account of it. Political orators represent their opponents as polluting demons. Purity is a cons…

The Works of Aphrodite
‘Apart from Egyptians and Greeks’, says Herodotus, ‘almost the whole of the rest of mankind copulate in sacred places and go into shrines without washing after sleeping with a woman.’ In Greek ideology, therefore, sexual activity is in some sense incompatible with the sacred. Such activity is, of course, indisputably natural; for man and woman intercourse is themis, that which is natural and right. It thus joins birth and death to form a trio of …
Purity and Salvation
Socrates in the Phaedo is made; to uphold a radical dualism of mind and body. The philosopher cannot but welcome death, because then he will be able to achieve that spiritual contemplation of spiritual reality which he has, indeed, always aspired to, but which the body with its incessant demands and deceptions has barred him from attaining. The separation of body and soul in death does not in itself lead to such a vision. Reality is pure and unad…
Curses, Family Curses, and The Structure of Rights
When mortals violated the sacred in the directest of the ways that were discussed in the previous chapter, the consequence was that ‘an agos came upon them.’ Agos is here a spontaneous and automatic product of transgression. As was noted in the introduction, however, it could also be invoked against offenders in curses: ‘let an agos come upon those who have sworn the oath should they transgress it.’ Though curses often demand simply that the offe…

The Shedding of Blood
That the blood of his victim clings to the hand of a murderer, and, until cleansed, demands his seclusion from society, is a belief attested in a bewildering variety of literary, oratorical, historical, mythographical, and pictorial sources - although other sources preserve a stolid and no less perplexing silence on the same subject. Two texts illustrate the matter in some detail, Book 9 of Plato’s Laws, and the Tetralogies ascribed to Antiphon. …

Purification
In the longest extant analysis of the activity called katharmos, Plato in the Sophist presents it as an aspect of the ‘science of division’. ‘Of the kind of division that retains what is better but expels the worse, I do know the name ... every division of that kind is universally known as a purification.’ The purifications envisaged here by Plato are purely physical - washing, carding of wool, and the like - but such physical acts of division ar…

Epilogue
This book has not been a history; the evidence for significant change in attitudes to pollution is too sparse. If we look forward briefly beyond the fourth century, we still find more evidence for continuity than transformation. One familiar figure does, it is true, seem to disappear, that of the polluted murderer. Little is known at all about the legal and social responses to homicide in this period, but it is probable that, if pollution had bee…
