Reception in the Greco-Roman World
The embrace of reception theory has been one of the hallmarks of classical studies over the last 30 years. This volume builds on the critical insights thereby gained to consider reception within Greek antiquity itself. Reception, like 'intertextuality', places the emphasis on the creative agency of the later 'receiver' rather than the unilateral influence of the 'transmitter'. It additionally shines the spotlight on transitions into new cultural …
Greek
This article offers an overview of Greek literature of the Roman Empire. The first section discusses ways in which Greek writing responds to Roman rule. This section ranges widely and takes snapshots from six writers—Artemidorus, Plutarch, Lucian, Basil of Caesarea, Galen, and Josephus—from which to show the complexities involved in thinking about Greek literature and its attendant critical issues, including how we might read ‘resistance’ and how…
Rape, Violence, Complicity
Rape, Violence, Complicity:Colluthus’s Abduction of Helen Helen Morales The Abduction of Helen (Ἁρπαγὴ Ἑλένης) concerns sexual behavior and responsibility.1 The Greek word harpage means theft or snatching away, but because abduction often involved or implied sexual violation, the title is often translated the Rape of Helen.2 The poem is a short, episodic hexameter work (392 lines) that dramatizes the Judgment of Paris, Paris’ journey to Sparta (m…
Fantasising Phryne
‘It's such a pity that we don't have Anything like a photograph Of her about whom the ancients rave ...’ ... Fragments, copies, our museums still hold Of statues she modelled, or so we're told (from Phryne by Robert Conquest, 2000) Phryne, the celebrity hetaira who is said to have lived and loved some time during the fourth century BCE, was reputed to be ‘by far the most phenomenal of the hetairai ’ (ἐπιφανεστάτη πολὺ τῶν ἑταίρων). This article a…
Chapter One. Challenging Some Orthodoxies
This chapter intends to look afresh at what's at stake in current conceptions of the genre. It looks at some key ways in which novel and literature is currently constituted and reminds us why it matters how we categorise a work. The chapter explains that the privileging of certain works and exclusion of others has significant ramifications for understanding of the ideological and political operations of imperial Greek literature. A decade or so a…
Classical Mythology
From Zeus to Europa, to Pan and Prometheus, the myths of ancient Greece and Rome continue to pervade the numerous facets of our existence. The author explores the rich history and varying interpretations of classical myth in both high art and popular culture as well as its ongoing influence in modern society
Metamorphoses of mythology
The word ‘myth’ derives from the Greek word muthos which means something akin to ‘story’, in contrast to logo which means ‘truthful account’. ‘Metamorphoses of mythology’ explains how these terms have been understood and looks at how their relationship to each other can tell us a lot about how mythology came into being and how it has changed. How have philosophy and Christianity impacted on mythology? How has our thinking about mythology changed?…
The history of sexuality
Interest in the history of sexuality, perhaps more than any other factor, has defined the genre of the ancient novel as we now know it. As the focus in scholarship gradually shifted, during the last few decades of the twentieth century, from women's studies to the study of gender and sexuality, the ancient novels, with their flamboyant attention to the erotic, appealed to the Zeitgeist . This led to their greater exposure, largely through the wor…
Conclusion
Classical mythology is kept alive if the stories are being used and retold. It is a continual process of telling, retelling, provoking, reacting, analysing, and revising. The Conclusion summarizes the influence of classical myths through the ages and today, and argues that myths operate relationally to other representations of the same story and in relation to other myths. Some of the ways in which Greek and Roman myths operate are disturbing. Cl…
