{"title":"A Sympotic Self: Instruction through Inebriation in Anacreon","authors":"P. Miller","doi":"10.3138/MOUS.15.1.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/MOUS.15.1.9","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:As early as the fifth century, Anacreon was the poet of wine, love, and song; even his death—choking on a pip—is attributed to the grape. The fact that the symposion looms large in the extant fragments is, therefore, hardly surprising. In this article, I examine Anacreon's sympotic verse and its moral quality. While the ethical character of Xenophanes' and Theognis' sympotic fragments has been acknowledged, most scholars consider Anacreon as a poet of love, rather than of moral instruction. Recently, Lear and Hobden have begun to address the moral and instructive character of Anacreon's verse. I build on these analyses by examining the Anacreontic speaker's presentation of moral value through his own person; there are 46 first-person statements in Anacreon, an important fact considering the narrative and psychological potency of \"I\" statements in early Greek lyric. In contrast to gnomic statements that purport to be generalized prescriptions, Anacreon's performative \"I\" offers an alternative mode of moralizing delivery. These first persons, however, are not the same person: Anacreon gives a multitude of perspectives on appropriate sympotic behaviour. I read the Anacreontic speaker's diverse and changing persona as a challenging and embodied moral perspective, which destabilizes the idea of a true self, and consequently denies the stereotyping of ancient poetic biography. By enunciating Anacreon's songs, the speaker puts his own body and individuality into play in the \"educative\" space of the symposion. In Anacreon's verse, the self itself becomes the space on which sympotic instructions—moral imperatives—are inscribed and displayed to others.Résumé:Dès le Ve siècle, Anacréon était connu comme le poète du vin, de l'amour et de la chanson ; même sa mort – étouffé par un pépin – est attribuée au raisin. Le fait que le symposion occupe une place importante dans les fragments de son œuvre qui ont survécu n'est donc guère surprenant. Dans cet article, je m'intéresse aux vers sympotiques d'Anacréon et à leur qualité morale. Alors que le caractère éthique des fragments sympotiques de Xénophane et de Théognis a été reconnu, la plupart des chercheurs considèrent encore Anacréon comme un poète de l'amour plutôt qu'un poète moral. Récemment, Lear et Hobden ont commencé à étudier le caractère moral et didactique de la poésie d'Anacréon. Je me base sur leurs analyses pour examiner la présentation de la valeur morale du locuteur anacréontique à travers sa propre personne ; il y a 46 déclarations à la première personne chez Anacréon, une donnée importante considérant le potentiel narratif et psychologique des déclarations au « je » dans la poésie lyrique grecque archaïque. Contrairement aux déclarations gnomiques qui prétendent être des préceptes généralisés, le « je » performatif d'Anacréon offre un mode alternatif de discours moralisant. Ces premières personnes ne sont toutefois pas la même personne : Anacréon présente une multitude de perspectives su","PeriodicalId":148727,"journal":{"name":"Echos du monde classique: Classical news and views","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124244086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Thinking with Brothers in Sappho and Beyond","authors":"L. Swift","doi":"10.3138/MOUS.15.1.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/MOUS.15.1.6","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:The recent publication of the \"Brothers Poem\" (P. Sapph. Obbink 1–20) reminds us that Sappho is more than a love poet. The stories of Sappho's two brothers, Charaxus and Larichus, were well known in antiquity and are attested in a number of sources. Several accounts imply that Sappho's brothers were mentioned repeatedly in her poetry, a claim that appears to be supported by fr. 15, which may represent a separate poem about Charaxus. Unlike the ancients, we modern scholars need not assume that these \"biographical\" snippets reflect a poet's lived experience, and rather than simply claiming that Sappho had two brothers, we must consider the reasons for this focus on brotherhood and sibling relationships in her work. This article discusses the role of brotherly relationships in archaic poetry and the use of the brother to shed light on moral issues. It considers famous brother-pairs such as Hector and Paris and Agamemnon and Menelaus in the Iliad, and Hesiod and Perses in Works and Days. It argues that brothers are characteristically used to explore ideas to do with preserving the oikos and familial duty and shows how Charaxus and Larichus fit into this pattern. It further suggests that Sappho adapts this trope by creating a sibling triangle, rather than the traditional pairing of two brothers. By including herself (and possibly also her mother) in this scenario, she explores domestic morality from a different, female-oriented perspective, showing the responsibilities that men bear toward their female dependents.Résumé:La récente publication du « Poème des frères » (P. Sapph. Obbink 1-20) nous rappelle que Sappho est plus qu'une poétesse de l'amour. Les péripéties des deux frères de Sappho, Charaxos et Larichos, étaient bien connues dans l'Antiquité et se trouvent attestées par un certain nombre de sources. Plusieurs témoignages laissent entendre que les frères de Sappho étaient régulièrement mentionnés dans sa poésie, une assertion éventuellement confirmée par le fr. 15, qui pourrait représenter un poème séparé sur Charaxos. À la différence des Anciens, nous, les chercheurs modernes, n'avons pas à assumer que ces bribes « biographiques » reflètent une expérience vécue du poète et, plutôt que d'affirmer simplement que Sappho avait deux frères, nous devons considérer les raisons de cette attention portée aux liens du sang et aux relations frères-sœurs dans son œuvre. Cet article se penche sur le rôle des relations fraternelles dans la poésie archaïque et sur l'utilisation du frère pour éclairer des questions morales. Il étudie des couples de frères célèbres, comme Hector et Paris, Agamemnon et Ménélas dans l'Iliade ou Hésiode et Persès dans les Travaux et les jours, afin de soutenir l'idée que les frères sont typiquement utilisés pour explorer des concepts en lien avec la préservation de l'oikos et le devoir familial, un modèle dans lequel s'inscrivent parfaitement Charaxos et Larichos.

Sampson","doi":"10.3138/MOUS.15.1.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/MOUS.15.1.7","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article considers the form(s) in which moral advice is expressed in lyric and the context(s) in which it is performed, with an eye to addressing the complications that invariably result. Advice in archaic lyric, it argues, is crafted to defy a straightforward interpretation: whether a poet proceeds directly or indirectly, triangulation of some sort is inevitable. Moralizing strategies complicate the poet–audience binary by introducing additional, mediating material or perspectives whose relationship to the advice at stake is inherently ambiguous. Advice presented indirectly via comparanda or mythological exempla, for example, adds to the point being made, while a more direct form of address gestures toward both universal maxim and particular addressee(s). A hermeneutics of reception must therefore acknowledge the interpretive work that is left to a poem's audience(s) and account for the poetic tendency simultaneously to compare and to complicate. The paradox is that however much these strategies project their transparency, the content (i.e., advice) is nonetheless obfuscated.Résumé:Cet article étudie la ou les forme(s) par lesquelles le conseil moral est exprimé dans la poésie lyrique et le ou les contexte(s) dans lesquels il est énoncé, en vue d'aborder les complications qui en résultent invariablement. Le conseil dans la poésie lyrique archaïque, comme il est expliqué, est construit pour défier une interprétation simple : que le poète procède directement ou indirectement, une certaine triangulation est inévitable. Les stratégies moralisantes compliquent le binôme poète-audience en introduisant du matériel ou des perspectives additionnels intermédiaires dont la relation avec le conseil en question est intrinsèquement ambiguë. Le conseil présenté indirectement, au moyen de comparanda ou d'exempla mythologiques par exemple, s'ajoute au propos qui est tenu, tandis qu'une forme plus directe de discours pointe à la fois vers la maxime universelle et le ou les destinataire(s) précis du conseil. Une herméneutique de la réception doit donc reconnaître le travail d'interprétation qui est laissé à l'auditoire ou les auditoires d'un poème et tenir compte de la tendance poétique à simultanément comparer et compliquer. Le paradoxe est que, peu importe à quel point ces stratégies affichent leur transparence, le contenu (c'est-à-dire le conseil) se trouve néanmoins obscurci.","PeriodicalId":148727,"journal":{"name":"Echos du monde classique: Classical news and views","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126568891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Picturing a Truth: Beast Fable, Early Iambos, and Semonides on the Creation of Women","authors":"Christopher G. Brown","doi":"10.3138/MOUS.15.1.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/MOUS.15.1.4","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Semonides' poem on women (fr. 7W) is the longest surviving specimen of early ἴαμβος. Despite its length, however, the poem remains elusive, and its generic affiliations with the tradition associated with Archilochus and Hipponax are unclear. Invective has often been seen to stand near the heart of ἴαμβος and in antiquity Semonides was regularly aligned with Archilochus and Hipponax as an ἰαμβοποιός—perhaps even as the πρῶτος εὑρετής of the genre, according to some (Suda σ 431 Adler = test. 7a Pellizer–Tedeschi)—but there is little in the surviving fragments that supports this view, and it is perhaps a telling point that the name of Semonides' personal enemy, preserved by Lucian (Pseudol 2 = test. 12 Pellizer-Tedeschi), cannot be made to fit an iambic line without emendation. While fr. 7 seems to lack specific personal targets, it nonetheless employs strategies of abuse and mockery familiar from ἴαμβος and comedy. Of particular interest are the poem's affinities with beast fable, which were also prominent in the epodes of Archilochus. Semonides does not use any particular narrative, but the creation of different women from a variety of animals recalls fables such as 50 and 240 Perry. It is the purpose of this article to explore the use of such fables in early ἴαμβος with particular emphasis on Semonides' poem. It is shown to reflect the influence of a particular kind of creation story that is also found in Hesiodic poetry and Old Comedy.Résumé:Le poème de Sémonide sur les femmes (fr. 7W) est le plus long spécimen d'ἴαμβος archaïque qui ait survécu. Malgré sa longueur, cependant, le poème reste évasif et ses affiliations génériques avec la tradition associée à Archiloque et Hipponax ne sont pas claires. L'invective est en effet souvent considérée comme apparentée à l'ἴαμβος et, dans l'Antiquité, Sémonide était régulièrement cité aux côtés d'Archiloque et d'Hipponax comme ἰαμβοποιός-peut-être même comme le πρῶτος εὑρετής du genre, selon certains (Souda, σ 431 Adler = test. 7a Pellizer-Tedeschi) – mais les fragments qui nous sont parvenus supportent difficilement cette vue et il est peutêtre révélateur que le nom de l'ennemi personnel de Sémonide, préservé par Lucien (Pseudol. 2 = test. 12 Pellizer-Tedeschi), ne puisse pas être fait pour s'adapter à un vers iambique sans correction. Quoique le fr. 7 semble dépourvu de cibles personnelles spécifiques, il emploie néanmoins les stratégies d'insultes et de moqueries familières à l'ἴαμβος et à la comédie. D'un intérêt particulier sont aussi les affinités du poème avec les fables animalières, qui occupent également une place prééminente dans les épodes d'Archiloque. Sémonide n'utilise aucun récit particulier, mais la création de différentes femmes à partir d'une variété d'animaux rappelle des fables telles que la 50 et 240 Perry. Cet article a donc pour objectif d'étudier l'utilisation de telles fables dans l'ἴαμβος archaïque, en portant une attention particulière au poème de Sémonide.

Allan","doi":"10.3138/MOUS.15.1.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/MOUS.15.1.8","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article considers how Solon recasts the traditional imagery of warfare and violence in order to bolster his persona as a \"reconciler\" (cf Ath. Pol 5.1-2) and peacemaker. Beginning with the fragments of his Salamis, I examine Solon's skilled use of persona and emotion, building on the elegiac tradition of martial exhortation. Turning to fr. 4, I trace one of its most striking features, namely, the way it applies the language of epic warfare to stasis, and so suggests that the dichotomies of war versus peace, and enemy versus self, do not work in contemporary Athens. The manipulation of epic language and war imagery to support Solon's role as reconciler is equally evident in fr. 5, and communicates Solon's role as an outstanding and impartial protector, whose achievement has been to save the Athenians from unjust (i.e., internal) violence. In fr. 36, one of the most fascinating surviving examples of the political use of iambus in the archaic period, Solon foregrounds the damage to Athenian society caused by greed, debt, and enslavement for it and presents his unbiased reforms as having prevented civil war. By adapting epic imagery, Solon emphasizes his unfair treatment as an outsider, as he, the saviour of his community, is cast in the role of an antisocial animal. Finally, in fr. 37, Solon's imagery is geared to arguing that the current conflict is best resolved not by violence but by peaceful agreement, a symbol of reconciliation embodied in Solon himself. Throughout my discussion, I focus on how Solon uses two strategies in particular to communicate the importance of his role: the first is the way he applies military language and metaphors to political situations and relationships in order to highlight the evils of stasis; the second is the way he recasts traditional imagery of warfare and violence to highlight his efforts, and his success, as a \"reconciler\" (διαλλακτής) of the warring parties.Résumé:Cet article examine comment Solon remodèle l'imagerie traditionnelle de la guerre et de la violence afin de renforcer sa persona en tant que « conciliateur » (voir Const. Ath. 5, 1-2) et pacificateur. En commençant avec les fragments de sa Salamis, j'étudie son habileté à jouer avec la persona et l'émotion, à partir de la tradition élégiaque d'exhortation martiale. Puis, à l'aide du fr. 4, je repère l'une de ses caractéristiques les plus marquantes, c'est-à-dire la façon dont il applique le langage de la guerre épique à la stasis et dont il suggère ainsi que les dichotomies guerre-paix et ennemi-soi ne fonctionnent pas dans l'Athènes contemporaine. La manipulation du langage épique et de l'imagerie de la guerre pour soutenir le rôle de Solon en tant que conciliateur est également évident dans le fr. 5, et fait connaître son rôle en tant que protecteur exceptionnel et impartial, dont l'accomplissement fut de sauver les Athéniens d'une violence injuste (c'est-à-dire interne).

While the latter’s adoption of computer-aided design software and drones often appears front and centre in academic publication, digital texts tend to lurk in the background of philological papers. Nevertheless, from the founding of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae in the 1980s until the present, philologists have derived obvious benefits from digitalization: unlimited keyword search and—with the advent of the Internet— ubiquitous availability. Meanwhile, an ever increasing number of scholars endeavour to match the needs of text-based research to the potential of the rapidly growing power of computation. We hope this volume will provide a milestone on this developing path, as it not only illustrates how newly expanded corpora for classical scholarship are being generated but also demonstrates best practices and new tools for their philological analysis. These four papers began as presentations at the Open Philology Workshop held by the Humboldt Chair at the University of Leipzig in July 2014. They reflect the guiding principles of that institution and its leader, Professor Gregory Crane. Most importantly, all of these projects operate upon, and in turn provide, open data. In other words, they begin with data that have no copyright restrictions and are freely available for republishing and other reuse, and their results are similarly licensed so that copyright and other restrictions are waived, allowing them to be widely and freely used in turn. This approach allowed the conference participants to consider the Latin or Greek digital collection far beyond a given website, CD-ROM, or online service for pay. They grappled with the challenges of digital corpora in the classics: How do we generate, convincingly search, and coordinate large digital collections of Greek and Latin texts and authors?
