Lambert","doi":"10.1353/acl.0.0004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/acl.0.0004","url":null,"abstract":"That comparative studies, anthropology, and the Classics have been uneasy bedfellows in the study of the Classics in South Africa is well known. At the height of the British Empire, as more and more ethnographies of conquered peoples flooded into the metropole, and more Classically educated administrators and missionaries ventured forth into the colonies equipped with perceptions of the ‘savage other’, dissonances in the discourses generated by receptions of the ‘other’ in metropole and periphery appear. One such dissonance is how Classical scholarship in the metropole used ‘savage analogies’ to illuminate the dark origins of ancient Greek religion, whereas scholarly missionaries in the periphery used Classical analogies to redeem indigenous religions from the kind of ‘othering’ engendered by academic discourses in the metropole. To explore this dissonance, I use the research on Zulu religion of a British missionary in the former colony of Natal, Henry Callaway, to represent the periphery, and Jane Harrison’s work on ancient Greek religion as representative of the metropole.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"1 1","pages":"-"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/acl.0.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43427759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The line has troubled commentators, who take the reference to Arabian Nabataea, but note that elephants are not native to Arabia, and largely explain Juvenal mistaking the middleman for the source in the ivory trade. The line is better understood as referring to the city of Napata in Ethiopia, where there were in fact elephants. Pliny and Augustus' Res Gestae confirm that Nabata was an accepted spelling of the Ethiopian city, and the adjective Napataios is attested in Greek at least. Taking the 'Nabataean grove' as near Napata also makes sense of Juvenal's reference in the same passage to the porta Syenes, Syene, a city historically associated with Napata, as the gateway to the African interior. Setting the 'Nabataean grove' in Ethiopia is, moreover, consistent with the mention of elephants elsewhere in Juvenal.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"63 1","pages":"125 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/acl.2020.0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43259508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
