Although these comparisons appear to reinforce identity rhetoric which sets a Greek “Us” against a Persian “Them,” I argue that when situated within the larger narrative of the Histories and Herodotus’ discussions of ethnic foodways, the comparisons reinforce the basic similarity of Persians and Greeks as peoples whose diet depends on sitos, or cooked grain. This similarity in diet suggests a similarity in identity as Herodotus destabilizes contemporary identity rhetoric opposing Greeks (as a whole or as individual groups) and Persians.","PeriodicalId":52031,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion-Journal of the Classical Association of Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135253528","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}

How did the Greeks react to non-indigenous species of birds and adapt these into their local environments? As a contribution to this subject, this paper focusses on a series of related avian case studies: domestic fowl ( Gallus gallus), peacocks ( Pavo cristatus), and pheasants ( Phasianus colchicus). Using key pieces of textual and visual evidence, we not only investigate how these birds—all of which are part of the family Phasianidae—became acclimated to Greece but also draw significant conclusions about their reception in Greek society. We argue that these three species remained grouped together in Greek imagination and that their distinctiveness and foreignness were essential characteristics of their cultural reception despite varying degrees of integration (e.g., successful breeding) and utility.","PeriodicalId":52031,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion-Journal of the Classical Association of Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135253521","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}

However, L'Année philologique, the most comprehensive bibliographical database dealing with ancient Mediterranean studies and classics, shows that there are no reasons to speak of a crisis as far as the volume of publications in ancient Mediterranean studies is concerned. It also demonstrates that the relative number of publications in large research areas has remained roughly the same for the last hundred years. Against anecdotal evidence suggesting that gender and postcolonial studies have affected the methods and objectives of ancient Mediterranean studies, a comparison of L'Année philologique with other databases suggests that scholars in the field have one of the lowest rates of engagement with “theory” in the humanities (here represented by concepts and authors typical of gender studies, postcolonial studies, anthropology, sociology, the Frankfurt school, and psychoanalysis).","PeriodicalId":52031,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion-Journal of the Classical Association of Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135248299","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}

The project focuses on documenting evidence of human occupation and land use around the bay of Porto Rafti in eastern Attica, Greece. Work in 2020 and 2021 built on the progress achieved in the 2019 pilot season, which established the presence of a Final Neolithic/Early Bronze Age obsidian processing centre on the Pounta peninsula, a sizeable Late Helladic IIIC settlement on the islet of Raftis, and some minor pre- and post-Ptolemaic activity on the Koroni peninsula, previously assessed as a single-period military camp. Fieldwork in 2021 documented a dense, multi-period surface scatter on the islet of Praso, including Final Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Late Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman material. Remains of waste products from the manufacture of Late Helladic IIIC White Ware, Classical/Hellenistic tile, Late Roman tile, and metal indicate the frequentative presence of industrial activity. Additional study of material from the 2019 season in 2020 and 2021 provided new insights into the chronological and typological character of material from Pounta, Koroni, and Raftis. The survey data from the first two field seasons of the project contribute to an increasingly rich and detailed reconstruction of society and economy in Porto Rafti bay throughout antiquity.Résumé:Cet article présente les travaux du projet d’Enquête régionale des baies de l’Attique orientale (Bays of East Attica Regional Survey) de 2020 et 2021. Le projet consistait à documenter des preuves d’occupation humaine et d’utilisation des terres autour de la baie de Porto Rafti en Attique orientale, en Grèce. Les travaux de 2020 et 2021 se sont appuyés sur les progrès réalisés durant la saison pilote de 2019, qui a permis d’établir la présence d’un centre de traitement de l’obsidienne datant du Néolithique final/âge du Bronze ancien sur la péninsule de Pounta, un site d’occupation important de l’Helladique récent IIIC sur l’îlot de Raftis, ainsi que des traces d’activité prédatant l’époque ptolémaïque sur la péninsule de Koroni, auparavant évaluée comme un camp militaire datant d’une seule période. Les travaux de terrain de 2021 ont permis de documenter une dispersion de surface dense et de périodes multiples sur l’îlot de Praso, qui comprenait du matériel du Néolithique Final/âge du Bronze ancien, de l’âge du Bronze récent, de même que des époques archaïque, classique, hellénistique, romaine tardive, byzantine et ottomane. Des vestiges de déchets issus de la fabrication de céramique blanche de l’Helladique récent IIIC, de tuiles d’époque classique/hellénistique, de tuiles d’époque romaine tardive et de métallurgie sont indicatrices de la présence répétée d’une activité industrielle.

Yet the imagery displayed on the tomb presents several key features that suggest this interpretation is inaccurate, despite its continued prevalence. These features, from the contents of the work scenes to the collections of tools that are portrayed alongside them, indicate that this tomb commemorates the identity of a professional sharpener, specifically one that sharpened the tools of other craftsmen working in Ostia and Portus. This reinterpretation reveals a profession that is otherwise absent from the iconography of Roman craftsmen while providing a number of interesting insights into the organization of labour and craft specialization in the Roman world.Résumé:Depuis que Guido Calza a publié les résultats de ses fouilles de la nécropole d’Isola Sacra, à Ostie, la Tombe 29 a été identifiée comme celle d’un forgeron, plus précisement d’un ferramentarius, qui fabriquait et vendait de petits outils. Toutefois, les représentations visuelles comportent plusieurs éléments qui suggèrent que cette interprétation est incorrecte, même si elle fait toujours consensus. Le contenu des scènes de travail et l’ensemble des outils qui les accompagnent indiquent que cette tombe commémore un affûteur professionnel, dont les services auraient utiles aux artisans qui travaillaient avec des outils tranchants à Ostie et Portus. Cette réinterprétation révèle une profession autrement absente de l’iconographie des artisans romains et apportent des éléments intéressants sur l’organisation du travail et la spécialisation artisanale dans le monde romain.","PeriodicalId":52031,"journal":{"name":"Mouseion-Journal of the Classical Association of Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88543715","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}
