The Oceanos and Tethys Mosaic from Zeugma

In November 2018, it was announced that the year 2019 will be "Göbeklitepe Year". The most important archaeological discoveries made in the area of Turkey were: an earthenware seal dating back 8 thousand years found in the Aegean Region, and a Viking sword thought to be over 1,000 years old, discovered in Patara. The end of November saw the return of twelve ancient Zeugma mosaic pieces, looted during illegal excavations in Turkey’s southeastern province of Gaziantep nearly 50 years ago.

Consistent Biblical Literalism, Flat-Earthism, and Slavery

$

An effort to be consistently literal in one’s interpretation of the Bible leads to absurdities. Even the people who are usually labeled “literalists” agree about this. Few of them think that trees will literally clap their hands, for instance. And so it would be ideal if the notion that some people “take the Bible literally” […]

Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum

IL CATALOGUS

Il Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum (CPhCl) è uno strumento di consultazione per gli studiosi dell'antichità greco-latina, in particolare per la storia della filologia classica moderna. Si tratta di un lessico enciclopedico biografico degli studiosi del mondo classico, nato come prosecuzione e integrazione del Philologisches Schriftstellerlexikon di W. Pökel, Leipzig 1882. Sono inclusi solo studiosi già deceduti.

LA STORIA

La storia del Catalogus inizia con il Congresso Internazionale del CNR "La filologia classica nel secolo XX" del 1984 (voluto da Scevola Mariotti) e con la pubblicazione dei relativi Atti a Pisa nel 1989. In seguito, il lavoro per allestire un vero e proprio Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum si e' sviluppato presso il Dipartimento di Filologia Classica dell'Universita' di Pisa, con il supporto del CNR. Dal 2003 il data-base è stato reso disponibile in rete, nell’ambito del sito Aristarchus, sulla base di una collaborazione fra il Dipartimento di Filologia Classica dell'Università di Pisa e il Dipartimento di Archeologia e Filologia Classica (D.AR.FI.CL.ET.) dell'Università di Genova.

IL CATALOGUS OGGI

Dal 2009 il Catalogus diventa un network internazionale. La direzione e il coordinamento del progetto, la gestione e lo sviluppo del sito web sono curati dalla redazione centrale, che ha sede presso il Dipartimento di Archeologia e Filologia Classica dell’Università di Genova. Il lavoro sulle schede del Catalogus viene suddiviso fra diverse redazioni, le cui competenze sono individuate in base a un criterio geografico-linguistico. La sigla identifica il paese nel quale si trova la redazione.

Per segnalazioni o richieste relative a singole schede, è opportuno rivolgersi direttamente alla redazione di pertinenza, ove attiva. Poiché il CPhCl è un work in progress, il numero e le competenze delle redazioni sono in evoluzione. Nel frattempo, è possibile scrivere alla Redazione centrale per suggerimenti riguardanti l’insieme del progetto o schede per le quali non esiste ancora la redazione di pertinenza.

Il CPhCl è uno strumento di ampia portata e in continua evoluzione: pertanto potrebbero riscontrarsi errori o carenze. Ce ne scusiamo anticipatamente e siamo grati per eventuali segnalazioni alla redazione di competenza o alla redazione centrale.

The discovery of a cuneiform fragment at Tel Mikhmoret recorded a slave sale and revealed physical evidence of the presence of Babylonians in biblical Samaria.”

Authorities have recovered from antiquities thieves a Neolithic stone ritual mask that comes from the Hebron hills.

Archaeologists have found evidence for trephination in a Late Bronze tomb at Megiddo (Haaretz premium).

“In one of the largest tombs ever found in Luxor, Egypt, archaeologists have discovered a sarcophagus holding the mummy of a woman named Pouyou who lived during the 18th dynasty.”

Egyptian officials announced that treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun will tour ten cities in the world prior to the 2020 opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. The exhibit is currently in Los Angeles and then heads to Paris. The other cities have not yet been announced.

“Inside the Cloak-and-Dagger Search for Sacred Texts” is in this month’s issue of National Geographic. As you would expect, the text is engaging and the photos beautiful.

“National Geographic has commissioned leading British indie production company, Caravan to produce The Bible from Space, a two-part documentary special which reveals the truth behind the biggest, most incredible stories from the Old Testament.” You can be sure that any TV production which promises to “reveal the truth” does not.

Carl Rasmussen is having second thoughts about the route of Paul’s ship from Chios to Miletus.

«De Menécrates»

Encontré en Twitter este poemita breve del poeta Riano de Creta, al que no conocía. Es breve y gracioso, así que lo traduje, porque ilustrar al que no sabe está en mi naturaleza y en mi oficio. Helo:

Ὧραί σοι Χάριτές τε κατὰ γλυκὺ χεῦαν ἔλαιον,
ὦ πυγά, κνώσσειν δ᾿ οὐδὲ γέροντας ἐᾷς.
λέξον μοι, τίνος ἐσσί, μάκαιρα τύ, καὶ τίνα παίδων
κοσμεῖς; ἁ πυγὰ δ᾿ εἶπε “Μενεκράτεος”.

Las Horas y las Gracias vertieron sobre ti dulce aceite,
culo, y tú impides a los viejos conciliar el sueño.
Dime, ¿de quién eres, vida mía, y en qué chico
resplandeces? Y el culo contestó: “De Menécrates”.

Para acabar de hacer la gracia, lo colgué en Wikipedia en la página de su autor, con la debida referencia al pie donde constan el nombre del traductor y la fuente. :) Gracias aparte, los traductores del volumen Poesía helenística menor (Biblioteca Clásica Gredos, nº 193, pp. 342-351; ISBN 978-84-249-1644-1) no lo incluyeron en su antología, por lo que tal vez sea esta una de las pocas traducciones al español publicadas en la historia de la cultura occidental. Ahí queda eso.

Wilhelm von Plüschow, #1170.jpg

Y como de culos hablamos, resulta curioso saber que Wikimedia Commons tiene una categoría de fotografías dedicada a los Naked male buttocks. Claro, ¿por qué no? De ahí procede este «Eduardo ante la puerta de un mausoleo romano, en Pompeya», de Wilhelm von Plüschow (foto #1170), que bien podría ser el «de Menécrates» famoso.

Comentario final para filólogos. Del poemita, compuesto en dísticos elegíacos, me llaman la atención los dialectalismos dorios πυγά ‘culo’ con alfa, previsible, y el pronombre τύ en lugar del koiné σύ. Pero el detalle más enternecedor es la tmesis a la manera homérica que cuela Riano en el primer verso, ese κατὰ … χεῦαν ‘echaron hacia abajo, vertieron’ del verbo καταχεύω. Ahora que no entra en Selectividad, echo de menos a nuestro Homerillo.

Scholia Minora in Homerum
Diretto da Franco Montanari
Collaboratori: Paola Ascheri, Davide Muratore

Il sito ha lo scopo di presentare la lista, descrizione, edizione e riproduzione fotografica dei papiri che contengono i cosiddetti Scholia Minora all’Iliade e all’Odissea.

Alla pagina Papiri si trova l’elenco dei testimoni, disposti secondo la successione dei passi omerici commentati. La prima colonna reca i numeri del repertorio pubblicato nel 1984 da Lucia M. Raffaelli: le successive integrazioni sono intercalate con numerazione decimale (aggiunte curate da: Lucia Raffaelli registrate in Martens-Pack3; Paola Ascheri; Davide Muratore).

È possibile selezionare i testimoni secondo la collezione di appartenenza o secondo il libro omerico commentato. Le icone a sinistra indicano nell’ordine rispettivamente la scheda con descrizione e bibliografia, la presenza della riproduzione fotografica digitale e dell’edizione del testo (scaricabile in formato pdf; font greco: IFAOGreek 2002).

Le edizioni sono basate su una revisione autoptica dell’originale e/o di riproduzioni fotografiche. Nei pochi casi in cui questo non è stato possibile, sono state utilizzate le edizioni disponibili. Si prevede di procedere a completare le edizioni pubblicate sul sito e a dotarle di un apparato dei passi paralleli; a incrementare progressivamente il numero delle riproduzioni disponibili; ad aggiungere nuovi testi eventualmente scoperti.

_________________________________________

Man must shape his tools lest they shape him.   (Arthur Miller)
There is no need to explain the importance of finds of  ancient tools in excavation context for cultural history in general and for the economic development of the antique site in particular to an archaeologist.
Considering this we have created new subdivisions for the findspot of tools in the context of excavation reports hoping that we could  facilitate your research in that way.  You could them find under : utensils – finds.

Having evaluated a whole lot of books this month, we are very pleased to offer you the contents of 153 new monographs and 107 volumes of periodicals.  2341 titles new titles,  – articles, reviews and monographical works – have been read and classified.
You will find the list of new monographs (also in pdf) and periodicals below as ever. The list of the new periodicals has been supplemented with links to the online editions of the respective journals – in addition to the links for the online resources.

Rolling stars Agamemnon 2-21.

$

The Agamemnon opens with the watchman's anticipation. He's on the look-out for the sumbolon, a prearranged fiery relay carrying the good news that Troy has been taken. He talks at some length about that long lonely wait, and how, doglike, he fights sleep, boredom, and dreams. But before that, he speaks of how he's come to understand the assembly of stars (astron).

10

I have learned well the gathering of the night´s stars, bringers of winter and summer to mankind, those radiant ruling stars conspicuous in the night sky, whenever fading or rising. 
So now I am still watching for the signal [sumbolon] of the flame, the gleaming fire that is to bear word from Troy and tidings of its capture. (Ag. 4-10 - Smyth Nagy - modified.)
In his aside, he looks up and first sees gatherings of stars bringing the frosts of winter and heat of summer. He uses two words for stars in this brief aside: Commonplace stars that form the gatherings are ἄστρων. Radiant ruling stars conspicuous in the night sky, fading or rising, are ἀστέρας.

His nod to the heavens is brief, yet the watchman manages to include a nuanced appreciation of these fires in the sky -- the commoners bearing the seasons and temperatures, then, his tone heightens as he speaks of the radiant giants. It's a quick moment, and one might wonder why Aeschylus bothered. Why not just have the watchman speak of what he's waiting for, and why?

One possible motive for the small glance upward is its effect within this speech. It sets the gallery of lights up there as a stable but distant realm. It's a point of reference -- far, but not entirely beyond, our earthly existence; orders of magnitude larger, especially if we are likened to dogs. Stars bear larger tasks than we do, but even the brightest are subject to change. Over time the watchman almost feels he's on familiar terms with them.

As he turns from the night sky to his work of watching, the fiery object of his watch, unbenknownst to him, is already racing across the dark waters between the Troad and Argos, about to blaze into view.

He speaks of fighting off sleep, trying to keep a sharp line between dream and waking, and wishes for this ponos to end:
νῦν δ᾽ εὐτυχὴς γένοιτ᾽ ἀπαλλαγὴ πόνων  
εὐαγγέλου φανέντος ὀρφναίου πυρός 
But tonight may there come a happy release from these ordeals [ponoi] of mine!
May the fire with its glad tidings flash through the gloom!
The signal fire suddenly flashes out.
 χαῖρε λαμπτὴρ νυκτός, 
Oh welcome, you blaze in the night . . .
He reads the light, welcoming it as the good news he's been expecting. This fire appearing out of the murk (φανέντος ὀρφναίου πυρός) is his lucky star. It will reorient Argos, it will the watchman's longeurs and bring the great ruler home.

But this star of good tidings won't have the enduring serene stability of the astron or the asteras. It turns out to be more comet than star.

A tentative interpretation: Aeschylus interpolates the watchman's view of the heavens on line 4 to establish the first moment of a pattern in the Agamemnon.  Those heavenly stars bearing gradual change seem distant and aloof, but what if that distance suddenly vanished? What comes rolling into view certainly seems a star blazing out of the East, double speaking of Troy past and some something veiled, yet to be discerned.

In the Agamemnon, everything is connected to everything. The watchman's seeming "aside" about the stars proves more: it's a marker in the syntax of his world, where what seems far off, or a dream, can suddenly, powerfully turn from familiar vertical hierarchic stability into a jolting usurpation of fundamental human order.

Sign and symbol [sumbolon] carry a lot of freight in this play. The shining good news from Troy "means" the triumph of General Agamemnon, until the very same sign means the rising of his Queen and the murder of the conqueror of Troy wrapped in purple, in the bath.

The watchman underscores this in another simile:

ὅταν δ᾽ ἀείδειν  μινύρεσθαι δοκῶ
ὕπνου τόδ᾽ ἀντίμολπον ἐντέμνων ἄκος
κλαίω τότ᾽ οἴκου τοῦδε συμφορὰν στένων 

. . . and whenever I care to sing or hum 
(and thus apply a remedy of song in place of sleep), 
then my tears start forth, as I bewail the fortunes of this house of ours, 

Whenever he tries to sing or hum a tune -- μινύρεσθαι can mean "to hum" or "warble" like a nightingale -- then this use of song as substitute (ἀντίμολπονfor sleep, which he intricately compares to chopping an herb's roots (ἐντέμνων) to create a stimulant, turns the song as it is sung into a wail.

Later the chorus will sing of heart pains dripping as we sleep; building wisdom from suffering while we're not even paying attention. The watchman's song comes out as an uncontrolled, arrhythmic croak. Beauty is undone in this house; the song and croaking sorrow are one.

At this moment, he sees the fire.

In contrast to the organic, vocal link of choking pain, disruption, and awareness he just experienced, the watchman, having seen the unambiguous sign of fallen Troy (ὡς  φρυκτὸς ἀγγέλλων πρέπει --  as this beacon unmistakably announces l.30), speaks of a lucky roll in a game of chance. The ambiguity of the symbol resolves, he believes, into clear good news.

That purported clarity has him spring into a jig that will gyrate and roll into the dance of the chorus that enters as he descends from the roof into the house to bring Clytaemnestra the good news.

αὐτός τ᾽ ἔγωγε φροίμιον χορεύσομαι
τὰ δεσποτῶν γὰρ εὖ πεσόντα θήσομαι 
τρὶς ἓξ βαλούσης τῆσδέ μοι φρυκτωρίας

And I will join the khoros in a prelude upon my own account; 
for my lord’s lucky roll of the dice I shall count to my own score, 
now that this beacon has thrown me triple six. 

Best to stay awake in Argos, where a placid starry messenger moving on high turns to a burning comet moving over dark seas, sign of a lucky cast. In the quicksilver light of symbol and signifier, presumptive closure is the moment to watch most closely.

Sabino visse in un periodo compreso tra la seconda metà del I e gli inizi del II sec. d.C. Le testimonianze in nostro possesso sono esclusivamente (o quasi) relative a suoi commenti ad Ippocrate e la maggioranza dei frammenti superstiti si devono a Galeno. Essi sono pubblicati nel volume ordinati sulla base del commento da cui presumibilmente provengono, seguendo l'ordine dei lemmi ippocratici a cui si riferiscono. Ciascun frammento compare insieme con una porzione del testo che lo contiene, allo scopo di garantirne una maggiore intellegibilità; in calce al testo viene fornito un apparato critico che riproduce quello delle edizioni critiche correnti dei testi-vettori. Di ogni frammento e di ogni testimonianza viene proposta una traduzione italiana, seguita da indicazioni relative al contesto.

As my Sunday school class moved into John 11 a while back, the fact that Jesus seems to delay healing Lazarus so as to highlight his own abilities and glory to a greater extent seemed disturbing.

In Waasmunster opent Erfpunt vandaag de expo ‘Gegroet, Marius & Stella’. Aan de hand van archeologische vondsten belicht deze expo de vele facetten van het dagelijkse leven aan de rand van het Romeinse imperium. Ontdek de degelijkheid van landelijke traditionele hoeves en het verfijnde leven in de villa rustica’s. Krijg inzicht in de Romeinse arbeidsmarkt. Rouw mee met hun doden en maak kennis met hun goden. Proef een staaltje van antieke globalisering van weleer…

De reizende tentoonstelling ‘Gegroet, Marius & Stella’ gunt je niet alleen een blik in het verleden, maar slaat ook een brug met het heden. Hoe verhouden Rome en Europa zich tot elkaar? Waar liggen hun wortels? Welke dynamische ontwikkeling ontketenen ze en met welke uitdagingen werden/worden ze geconfronteerd? Zijn er gelijkenissen of verschillen in de geschiedenis of organisatiestructuur te vinden?

In het kader van de tentoonstelling voorziet Erfpunt ook rondleidingen en educatieve pakketten voor scholen. Op 14 december wordt ook een Romeinse kookbundel voorgesteld door De Foodarcheoloog.

De tentoonstelling loopt nog tot en met 20 januari 2019 in Kasteel Blauwendael (Kerkstraat 21, 9250 Waasmunster). De toegang is gratis.
