▼ This dissertation handles the poetics of Philodemus of Gadara, a first century BCE Epicurean philosopher and poet. His views are recoverable from several of his treatises, which are primarily polemical and without positive exposition. However, his views are recoverable from careful readings of the debates, rare direct evidence, and attention to his commitments, which as a loyal member of the school, he could not contradict. The first, introductory, chapter treats Philodemus' biography, the history of scholarship on the topic, and introduces some technical matters (often editorial) and conventions. The second chapter treats the history of the Garden's engagement with poetics. Epicurus did not write an On Poems but Metrodorus did. Other early Epicureans, as well as Zeno of Sidon, Demetrius Laco, and Siro and other Epicureans are examined as well. In chapter three, “The Prolepsis of the Poem,” I discuss what counts as a poem for Epicureans. Philodemus indicates that there were prolepseis of “poetry” and “poem;” the Epicureans meant basically what we mean by the terms. In chapter four, “Poetry as Techne and the Uses of Poetry,” I argue that poetry counts as an art for the Epicureans, but not a useful one. In my fifth chapter, “The Form, Content, Judgment, and Purpose of Poems,” I examine Philodemus' views as what form and content are, and the ways in which they interact. They are interdependent: the content depends on the words used to describe it, but there cannot be language without a topic. He values form above content in judging poems. The poem has an strange effect: it produces “additional thoughts” in the audience, by which they are entertained. It seems clear that Philodemus expected good poets to arrange form and content suggestively, so that the poems could exert a lasting pull on the minds of the audience. My sixth chapter collects a miscellany of topics which Philodemus handles but which do not fit neatly into another chapter. I discuss his views on genre, mimesis, “appropriateness,” utility, and various technical terms. The seventh chapter contains a concluding summary.

▼ This dissertation explores the association between the emotions of envy and jealousy and the figure of the sole ruler, which is discernible in even the oldest ancient Greek literary texts. These emotions—most easily identified by the Greek words phthonos and zelos, but in many cases left unnamed on account of an enduring social stigma—are overwhelmingly negative and often dangerous in the works of Homer, Hesiod, Sophocles, and Herodotus, and this is especially true when a ruler is involved. When a ruler acts out of envy or jealousy, there are never direct positive effects for others, and the only instance in which envy or jealousy aimed at a ruler can be considered to produce a societal benefit is when it originates from the divine realm. In such circumstances, it reestablishes proper order by punishing the overly arrogant. There are various scenarios in which envy, jealousy, and rulership appear in combination, and the widening range of permutations in the literature of the fifth century B.C. (and beyond) reflects a heightened anxiety about the precariousness of one-man rule. Already in the works of Homer and Hesiod, it is readily apparent that envy and jealousy typically relate to issues of honor. Accordingly, many rulers attract the envy of their subjects (particularly of potential rivals), and conversely, many rulers exhibit jealousy in their attempts to maintain their position or their status. In the classical period, arguments about why specific individuals do not and why people in general should not envy rulers become increasingly prevalent, as does the idea that overly powerful individuals provoke the jealousy of the gods. There are also depictions of rulers who internalize the commonplace that they are wont to incur envy to such a degree that they either become excessively cautious and fearful or they dismiss any opposition on the grounds that it stems from envy. In the world of epic, while envy and jealousy were already regarded as untoward and potentially destabilizing emotions, monarchy was still a perfectly acceptable and widespread form of rule. Over time, however, with the Athenians’ hatred of tyranny burgeoning and their influence growing, the association between the emotions of envy and jealousy and rulership was invoked more and more frequently, as democrats and oligarchs alike could use it to justify their distrust of tyranny, and thus the increasingly negative perceptions of tyranny contributed in turn to the further vilification of envy and jealousy.

▼ Ancient Greek scholarship on Homer’s Iliad is known largely through scholia: marginalia in medieval manuscripts condensed from classical, Hellenistic, and Roman-period. Among the interpretive issues the scholia cover is geography, particularly where the places described in Homer correspond imperfectly, if at all, to places in the known world. These discrepancies are problematic in antiquity for both geographers and literary critics because Homer’s authority, even on matters outside the realm of poetry, is seldom challenged. This dissertation examines the elaborate strategies used in ancient scholarship to defend the poet’s authority, concluding that the construction of place in Homer is, for ancient writers, an integral part of his reliability. I first focus on the poem’s most crucial location, the city of Troy itself—the nature and location of which has been debated by moderns and ancients alike. The latter ultimately uphold Homer’s description of the city by emphasizing its absolute destruction: Troy’s canonical doom ensures that it never, in any historical period, has to be exactly as the poet described it. Chapter 3 moves from the geographical center of the poem, Troy itself, outward through the Trojan-allied territories of Asia Minor. I argue that the ancient sources, starting with the notoriously sparse Trojan Catalogue, read these allies as occuping a conceptual, rather than a physical, space along the periphery. Their uneasy relationship to the Trojan ruling elite, as well as their marked barbarianness—a trait ancient Greek readers are eager to maximize—lends them a dysfunctionality that assists the scholia in their reading of Homer as a constant philhellene, even in a poem about Greek dysfunction. Chapter 4 treats the Catalogue of Ships, which describes an exhaustively detailed list of places outside the actual scope of the Iliad—since they are all in the homeland the Greeks left behind them—and yet crucial for its construction of place. The scholia’s admiration of the Catalogue extends to the poet who created it, whose ability to describe Greek places, even though ancient biographies place him outside the Greek mainland, becomes normative for later discussions of these territories. They therefore reinforce Homer’s authority. Advisors/Committee Members: Janko, Richard (committee member), Moyer, Ian S. (committee member), Schironi, Francesca (committee member), Scodel, Ruth S.

▼ Ecology, History, and the Other in Ancient Greece reads for the environment in three Greek descriptions of other places and their inhabitants: Herodotus’s fifth century BCE Histories, Megasthenes’ c. 300 BCE Indika, and Agatharchides’ c. 150 BCE On the Red Sea. Chapter 1 begins by investigating the meaning of physis and natura in Greek and Roman philosophical texts, arguing that ancient authors include humans within their concept of nature and generally celebrate human activity in the world. I conclude this chapter by proposing ancient ethnography as a source of Greek ecological thinking. In chapter 2 I introduce the three ethnographers under consideration. While ancient ethnographies have often been dismissed as ill-suited to the histories in which they are usually embedded, I argue that Greek ethnographers engage in historical inquiry by presenting geographically distant Others as remnants of their own distant past, and use the bios, “way of life,” of Others to imagine earlier stages of Greek development. Chapters 3 and 4 present specific ecological readings of Herodotus, Megasthenes, and Agatharchides, the first focusing on health and the second on warfare. Ethnic Others who practice pastoralism or hunter-gathering rather than agriculture often enjoy superior health and material contentment, a fact that criticizes the tendency of settled agriculturalism to promote illness, warfare, and greed. I conclude these chapters by arguing that the Indika and On the Red Sea respond to environmental problems posed in Herodotus’s Histories, and that these Hellenistic texts criticize the elephant-hunting expeditions of Megasthenes’ and Agatharchides’ royal patrons. In conclusion, chapters 5 and 6 consider the meanings that arise from Greek ethnographers’ focus on the bios of Others. Arresting geographically distant Others at an earlier stage of development allows readers to consider alternate ecologies and engage in self-critique, but this arrest also instrumentalizes Others and denies them the complexity of representation that Greeks and less-distant non-Greeks enjoy. The most potent scenes for generating ecological self-critique, those in which an Other rejects the pleasures of Greek civilization, are easy for readers to dismiss as extreme. The conditions that produce ecological reflection are also those that frustrate its application. Advisors/Committee Members: Schironi, Francesca (committee member), Moyer, Ian S.

▼ Litigants in 4th-century Athens used opponents’ physical appearance (in court and reported on previous occasions) to ‘prove’ their inferior moral character to jurors. This dissertation examines the implications of this strategy for Athenian democratic ideology and popular morality. Demosthenes’ and Aeschines’ uses of the physiognomic strategy contain the assumption that any Athenian can accurately evaluate the character of a litigant or politician from his appearance in court or in the public space of the Agora. This assumption ideologically validates democratic decision-making in Athens’ mass juries and Assembly. The first of two case studies describes the markers which Aeschines uses to demonstrate his rival Demosthenes’ kinaidia (sexual and gender deviance). In their court battles, Aeschines varies the visual indicators of kinaidia to draw on different aspects of the stereotype. In Against Timarchos, Aeschines uses supporting speaker Demosthenes’ luxurious clothing to evoke the unchecked consumption and indulgence in (shameful) pleasures which are characteristic of the kinaidos. This portrait is thematically consistent with that of Timarchos and his other supporters, who all catastrophically lack self-control. In On the Embassy, Aeschines employs Demosthenes’ body to indicate his failed masculinity. Demosthenes challenged Aeschines’ preeminent role in civic affairs because of his lesser wealth and birth. Aeschines responds by locating military and civic worth in the body, and excluding Demosthenes from both. The second case study describes the meanings and uses of ephebic beauty in the trial of Timarchos. Prosecution and defense competed to portray themselves as champions of youthful beauty and proper pederastic eros. However, both exploited the suspicion of ‘gold-digging’ which ephebic beauty raised. The speech is intended to win over a popular audience of jurors, but decorous pederasty is usually identified as a component of aristocratic discourse. However, this and other speeches in which litigants portray themselves as good pederasts and their opponents as bad lovers or beloveds suggest that the common Athenian judged a man’s morality by his good conduct in pederastic relationships. Both case studies explore the visible indicators of normative and queer masculinities on the body, and will be of interest to scholars of the history of homosexuality.

▼ This dissertation, Heracles and Heroic Disaster, examines the juxtaposition of the glorious victories and terrible disasters of Heracles, as portrayed in Greek literature and visual images from Homer to Apollonius. Beginning in the sixth century B.C.E., as Heracles' apotheosis became an established tradition, his uncontrolled violence, lust, and madness became increasingly problematic. This interdisciplinary study traces the resulting tension between his heroic successes, which entail victories that offer social benefit to others, and heroic disasters, the chaos and destruction caused by the misdirection of heroic strength and skill. My first chapter examines the negative consequences of the heroic violence by which Heracles accomplishes the Labors associated with his apotheosis. Stesichorus' Geryoneis, Aristophanes' Frogs, Book Four of Apollonius' Argonautica, and Pindar's fr. 169a all treat Heracles' achievements with ambivalence by focusing on the innocent victims devastated through Heracles' success. My second chapter argues that, in Sophocles' Trachiniae, Heracles imports the competitive erotic rivalry between male suitors into his own household, by sending a concubine, Iole, to share Deianeira's roof. Deianeira's unheroic response to this competition – reliance on a love potion – is the cause of Heracles' ultimate defeat. In Chapter 3, I argue that Euripides' Heracles formulates a specifically two-pronged definition of aretē: the status of the glorious victor, as encompassed in the epithet kallinikos, and traditional philia. Though the play frames both Heracles' triumphs and madness in the same epinician terms, he is nevertheless redeemed by the same aretē he demonstrates in the first part of the play. Euripides thus integrates Heracles' propensity for unrestrained violence into a consistently admirable figure. My fourth chapter shows how Heracles' erotic attachment to Hylas in Apollonius' Argonautica causes his heroic collapse; his subsequent exclusion from the heroic expedition, a stunning contrast with the poem's positive appraisal of his heroism, serves as a warning for the callow Jason about the dangers of erotic attachment. Thus, this study reveals how Heracles becomes the ideal vehicle for criticizing traditional heroism, questioning the justice of Zeus, and proposing new definitions of excellence, and supplies needed rigor to the poorly-defined concept of the hero.

▼ This dissertation considers the connection between love and memory (or, as often, forgetting) in Roman elegiac poetry, through the lens of Ovid’s Remedia Amoris (Cures for Love). I argue that, by writing Remedia, the last poem in the corpus of Latin love elegy, as an ‘art of forgetting’ which purports to aid the unlucky lover by teaching him to forget love, Ovid underscores the significance of memory in the elegiac genre. By telling readers how to forget, Ovid reveals how previous poets, including himself, taught readers how to remember. I investigate the connection between love and memory in elegy by pinpointing elegiac modes of amorous memory production. My method of analysis extracts certain pieces of advice (praecepta) given by the didactic narrator of Remedia, who guides the reader to rid himself of love. Even as his purportedly curative precepts inevitably fail, they point to elegiac strategies for memory production. My chapters treat these methods of creating memory thematically, each outlining a different piece of advice for forgetting, paired with a corresponding strategy for memory production in the elegiac genre: strategies for memorialization after death (Chapter 1); strategies for rescripting the localized memory of love (Chapter 2); strategies for creating false memories of the beloved (Chapter 3); women’s strategies for epistolary memory production (Chapter 4); and strategies for scripting poetic memory through allusion and tropes (Chapter 5). I propose that Remedia offers a guide for the reader of elegy, underscoring the importance of these strategies of memory production for the program of the elegiac genre. In addition to considering how the advice Ovid gives recalls his own previous works (the Amores, Ars Amatoria, and Heroides), I explore how Ovid’s Remedia receives the works of his poetic predecessors, including Catullus, Propertius, Tibullus, and even Homer. To investigate the broader cultural milieu of Roman memorialization and mnemotechnics, I utilize frameworks from social, poetic, and cognitive memory studies.

▼ At Genesis 3:22, before God drives Adam and Eve from Eden, He addresses an unidentified heavenly audience: “Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.” (KJV) Thus the expulsion serves primarily as a solution to a theological crisis; the aspects of punishment are merely consequential to this solution. In my dissertation, I examine this and other examples of cosmological exigency from Ancient Greek, Hebrew, Anatolian, and Babylonian sources. In broad terms, I attempt to define the intellectual dimensions of these cosmic crises. For example, the fruit of knowledge endows Adam and Eve with a feature of the divine, from which he was made to be distinct; his deathlessness would thereby dissolve the opposition that gives structure and meaning to the cosmos. Other details in the Garden already suggest a problematic combination of mutually exclusive items: Adam’s working a garden that seems to provide automatically, for example. The details of Hesiod’s Golden race appear eerily similar to those in Genesis, and suggest subtle—perhaps mutual—engagement of the two myths. I turn from anthropogonies to Mediterranean myths wherein monstrous serpents attack the ruling Storm-god. While scholars have noted many similarities among these myths, I explore the shared central role of etymological and other linguistic play (formulaic and epithetic misapplication, metrical and phonetic play) in consummating the threat to the Storm-god and his cosmos. I argue that these units of the language and music most powerfully convey, even actualize, disorder; in other words, they function as pivots around which the narrative turns, from order to disorder to order reaffirmed. I argue that these shared features point to mechanism of cross-linguistic sharing of mythic data. Finally, I synthesize the results of these studies by examining Greek myths in which divinity itself is compromised by the parental solicitude that certain gods show for their mortal offspring. This mortal emotional experience both upsets cosmic structures and deeply undercuts notions of immortality. Advisors/Committee Members: Janko, Richard (committee member), Beckman, Gary M.

▼ A number of scholars believe that ancient Greeks were constrained by a “pre-rational” or “non-economic” mentality that inhibited economic progress, but this theory is largely conjectural and has never been tested systematically. My dissertation addresses this problem directly, and conducts a comprehensive study of the evidence for economic behavior and decision making in classical Greece, and concludes that ancient Greeks did try to maximize the returns on their investments as much as possible, and that many estates were structured like businesses for the generation of profit. Rather than investing their money in an economically irrational manner, the wealthy classes tended to pursue the best opportunities for money making available. Therefore, ancient Greeks actually behaved in an economically rational manner, and their economy was not constrained by their mentality, at least in this respect. The institutional structures of ancient Greece, however, did not allow this economically rational behavior to translate into a more sophisticated economic system. Political and legal institutions offered little protection for traders in the open market. Because the ancient Greek world was made up of many independent city-states, governments could not enforce contracts outside the bounds of their own territories, and difficulties in enforcing property rights inhibited the development of stable international markets in commerce and finance. Moreover, without legal recognition for corporate business entities with the legal right to possess their own property in perpetuity, the end of an estate owner’s or businessman’s life was a time of crisis for business capital accumulations, which were threatened by the system of partible inheritance that dominated the Greek world. Rather than remaining the property of a corporation, which could expand and grow after an owner’s death, business wealth tended to be broken up and dispersed among relatives, who rarely desired to continue the family business. Without a corporate structure to allow for continuity, business accumulations were inevitably doomed to be dispersed, squandered, or transformed. Therefore, assuming economic rationality exposes previously unknown problems with the formation of markets and the long-term accumulation of business capital.

▼ My dissertation entitled The Princess Is in Another Castle: Multi-Linear Story Systems in Greek Epic and Video Games is an interdisciplinary investigation at the crux of two scholarly debates in classics and digital media studies. In this study, I offer an understanding of narrative that can be applied across media and across disciplines, reaching from the traditional practice of Classics to the new and developing study of games. With a perspective that incorporates both the past and the present, I present a theoretical model of story that provides new insight into the way we construct narratives and find meaning within them. My study finds the common thread between oral and game narratives by investigating and comparing their story structures and authorial processes. Bards and players do not fully create new stories, but neither do they only take pre-made stories and adjust them. Rather, they take pieces of narrative, scenes here and actors there, and combine them into a new linear sequence. Narratives of this kind, those telling a single story through many possibilities, are multi-linear narratives. In the Iliad, we hear of different histories of Achilles’ education, we see hints of other possible happenings at Troy, and we see familiar yet different events in the traditional tale. In games, players are able to choose different paths for their characters, experiencing familiar events but with different results and different actors. Richer meaning and more developed characters arise in the contrast and interplay between the two (or more) tellings. A multi-linear understanding of story as a system variably built from interchangeable narrative pieces allows us to see that meaning and interpretation of these stories is highly dependent on the audience’s awareness of other possible story paths. It takes many encounters with the story to fully understand all its possibilities and turns, not only because of its many possible interpretations, but because the story has many possible linear sequences within it. Through a multi-linear understanding of narrative, we can see that traditional notions of narrative construction are only part of the story, one dependent on audience members as co-authors of unique narrative experiences.

▼ Vergil’s Aeneid is a key text for the study of the Augustan regime’s justification of its unprecedented power. In the crucial settings of the bestowal of Aeneas’ Shield and the early site of Rome, book VIII gives evidence of a deep concern with the historical and religious foundations of that power. This dissertation traces the numerous and clearly signposted bucolic allusions in the text to reconstruct their role as interpretive guides pointing the way to a pro-Augustan political message. These bucolic allusions occur in four pivotal episodes of Aeneid VIII, all entailing descriptions of places: the Hercules and Cacus episode, the conferral of the Shield of Aeneas, the myth of the Golden Age and Saturn’s reign, and Evander’s tour of the site of Rome. The current study uses these allusions to reinterpret these episodes and to provide an overarching theory of Vergil’s use in book VIII of allusion to Theocritus and his own Eclogues, as well as such related texts as the Georgics, with special attention to the rustic deities Faunus, Silvanus, and Pan. This reinterpretation reveals a text that grounds its support for Roman power on claims of vatic insight into the historical process, and which appeals to the contemporary Roman reader to look at Rome after the civil wars and see the gleaming city as proof of its historical promise. At the same time, it critiques a rival rationalist tradition as unsatisfying and unavailable to the majority of people. What emerges is a complex dialogue between faith and reason that stretches back to encompass all of Vergil’s oeuvre. The concern with Rome’s roots and prophetic insight suggests the importance of using traditional terms to justify Augustan ideology. Vergil’s use of the bucolic as a bridge between the epic past and contemporary Rome also suggests new avenues of generic interpretation. Finally, the text’s construction of the Roman reader poses the question of intended audience, raising the possibility that the Aeneid was designed to draw support from a newly empowered, educated class: the Roman equites.

▼ This dissertation explores how, through adaptations of the familiar Homeric motifs of hospitality, supplication, and the figure of the basileus, Apollonius designed the world of his Argonautica as a political map of the Hellenistic Mediterranean. Chapter 1 investigates the implications of Apollonian hospitality scenes. Read against their Homeric models and one another, and considered against the geographic backdrop of the poem, these scenes reveal Jason’s world as a geographic mirror of the early Hellenistic kingdoms, one which reflects the Ptolemies as different from (and superior to) the kings in Greece and the Near East. Chapter 2 evaluates the models for and characteristics of the Argonautica’s kings. In doing so, it argues that Apollonius drew more upon contemporary political models for his kings than he did upon their previous poetic incarnations: though he of course relied upon earlier poets’ portrayals of the six men called basileus in the poem, the variations he works upon those portrayals align the kings with either specific Hellenistic monarchs or else specific types of Hellenistic kingship. The way those kings interact with Jason and his men echoes the way kings dealt with cities, and therefore not only casts the kings as poetic avatars of Hellenistic monarchs but the Argonauts as a Hellenistic polis on the move. Once again, the Ptolemies emerge in a favorable light: the king fashioned as a pre-figuring of Ptolemy Soter is the only one to emerge from the poem with his kingdom intact and his position secure. The final chapter addresses Apollonian supplication scenes. As is true for the hospitality scenes, the distance between Apollonian supplications and their Homeric models is filled by an aspect of the Hellenistic world: in this case, the specific forms of distrust that dominated the early Hellenistic kingdoms. Once again, the Ptolemies outpace their rival kings: they alone are associated with the king who tempers that distrust with cautious wisdom. When considered in light of the previous chapters, this final chapter suggests that the Argonautica is not simply a foundation story for Alexandria, but rather a significant contribution to the Alexandrian poetic discourse on kingship and kings.

▼ In his own lifetime Philip II of Macedon was alternately reviled as the king who put an end to the freedom of the Greek city states and glorified as a unifier and organizer of singular ability. This dissertation examines the origins and the development of these two polarized characterizations of Philip in Athenian oratory. Specifically, I focus on the character of Philip as it is presented in the orators Demosthenes, Aeschines, and Isocrates. I show that Athenian characterizations of Philip were the product of a complex interaction between culturally-loaded symbolic categories and a radically shifting historical reality. I show that the orators discussed Philip in self-serving ways, often crafting his identity in tandem with their self-presentation as Athenian politicians. Comparing the arguments of the orators to the Macedonian reality shows the wide gap between Athenian and Macedonian understandings of Philip’s reign. Philip engaged in Greek-style behaviors in order to bolster his political agenda within Greece while also adhering to non-Greek norms in those communities where Hellenization was relatively uncommon. At the same time, elite panhellenic discourse could potentially provide a bridge between the Greek aristocracy and the Hellenized Macedonian court. Thus Isocrates, himself an Athenian intellectual, uses panhellenic rhetoric to sway his Athenian and Macedonian audience toward peace. Popular Athenian discourse, on the other hand, did not seek to engage with Macedonian reality so much as to articulate Athenian exigencies through a broad set shared discursive paradigms as well as the particular topoi governing the specific and singular debate in the Athenian Assembly. Demosthenes’ distancing of Philip into the barbaric outer reaches of the known world and his portrayal of Philip’s powerful autocracy served to bolster his self-image as the only Athenian politician capable of defend the city against such a pressing threat. Aeschines, on the other hand, crafted Philip as a suave philo-Athenian fully at ease with Greek culture, and thereby invited his audience to identify with the Macedonian king. Orators articulated Philip’s rise to power within these parameters in order to further their own political agenda. Advisors/Committee Members: Forsdyke, Sara (committee member), Moyer, Ian S.

▼ In Footnotes to Sappho I explore the poetry of three of the most influential poets of the Hellenistic period: Erinna, Anyte, and Nossis. Very little of their works survived to the present day; consequently these poets are largely ignored by the scholarly community. Those scholars who do study the female poets tend to understand them as women first and poets second, assuming that their works can inform our understanding of the lives of women in the ancient world. In this dissertation I argue that this understanding impedes our ability to interpret their poetry and attempt to correct this by reading their poems as poems rather than as biographical evidence. Each chapter provides an examination of one author's life and works, beginning with a discussion of ancient testimonia. In the first chapter, "Erinna," I examine the poetry of the fourth-century BCE poet Erinna, whose life, homeland, and date are shrouded in mystery, and even the number of her works is disputed. In both sections, one on her epigrams and one on her famous yet fragmentary work, the Distaff, I examine the ways in which Erinna establishes two oppositions: movement/stasis and performance/text. The next chapter, "Anyte," examines the ways in which Anyte takes advantage of new developments in poetry in order to expand the possibilities for epigrammatic poetry. Anyte exploits the separation of epigram from its inscriptional beginnings by composing poems that never would have been inscribed, such as epitaphs for insects. I argue that many of her epigrams are interrelated and share themes and motifs and that this is evidence of an author (perhaps the first) who wrote poems specifically for a collection. The final chapter, "Nossis," explores the twelve epigrams of the poet Nossis, focusing on her use of polemic to reject men from her potential readership. This rejection is tongue-in-cheek, as an author cannot control who reads a text. Nossis' poetry also illustrates the lack of performance in epigram by configuring a series of poems as a partheneion. Like Erinna and Anyte before her, Nossis is her own poet and deserves to be read as such. Advisors/Committee Members: Scodel, Ruth S.

▼ In this dissertation, I extensively re-examine P. Mich. inv. 2958, a second-century-C.E. musical papyrus excavated by the University of Michigan at Karanis (Kom Aushim) in the Fayum, Egypt in 1924. In contrast to pre-existing scholarly opinion, I argue that this musical papyrus could have originated outside of the cultural center of Alexandria. This document contains fragments of two sections of an otherwise unknown Greek tragedy with accompanying musical and rhythmic notation. The name Aigisthus in line 16 suggests that the plot of this tragedy originates from either the well-known Orestes cycle or the story of Aigisthus’ daughter, Erigone. The verso contains a brief financial account that represents a non-musical re-use of the papyrus, a common practice with all ancient literary texts. Although this papyrus has a significant publication history, it continues to present editors with challenging textual and interpretive questions. I utilize methodological approaches from a variety of disciplines, including papyrology, musicology, and archaeology, in order to contextualize the physical document as well as the text and notation that it preserves. My research emphasizes the evidence this unique papyrus provides concerning non-elite Greek musical practices in Roman Egypt during the second century C.E., and I further discuss how this papyrus relates to the writings of the ancient Greek musical theorists. From this investigation, I conclude that P. Mich. inv. 2958 represents a rare example of community-oriented, professional (or semi-professional) musicianship, and demonstrates that high-quality music making was not restricted to the hyper-elite contexts of courts, cities, and major festivals. The musical significance of P. Mich. inv. 2958 should not be understated: this papyrus represents a valuable window into the practical relationship of musical theory, composition, and performance in Greco-Roman Egypt. The musical sensitivity and complexity of this fragment challenges the perceived decline of Greek music from the Classical ideals of fifth-century-B.C.E. Athens, and instead signifies a differing aesthetic, one that may well have influenced the development of early Christian chant, and therefore, the course of Western musical history.

▼ This dissertation examines the uses and meanings of the past in 4^th-century Athenian public discourse, using Thebes' role in Athenian memory as a case study. While previous scholarship has studied historical allusions in the Attic orators, by and large it has focused on rhetorical aspects, the orators' sources, and their immediate political goals. By contextualizing the orators' allusions within a complex net of shared remembrances and beliefs, I seek to assess the ideological and emotional power of these memories. They were crucial factors in political decision making, and not just empty phrases or propagandistic cover-ups for Realpolitik. The concept of social memory is a useful analytical tool, since it allows viewing the manifestation and transmission of a shared image of the past as a dynamic process which leaves room for contestation, acknowledges the interdependence between ideology and social memory and regards the past as a repository for future decision making. By examining various carriers of social memory – including oral traditions, monuments, rituals, and books – I assess how deeply a specific memory was rooted in Athenian historical consciousness and ultimately how persuasive it was. I explain common distortions in its transmission and determine the leeway orators had in departing from predominant versions. Thebes' collaboration with the Persians in 480 B.C. became an essential part of the Athenian memory of the Persian Wars. The heroic experience of repelling the barbarian invaders cast the Athenians as champions of Greek liberty – and led to forgetting Plataea's contribution at Marathon. The Theban archenemies came to epitomize the traitors of Hellas. Given this hostile predisposition, memory of Thebes' support for the exiled Athenians in 404 B.C. was precarious. Still, the diplomatic practice of listing former benefits in analogous situations (395, 383-79, 335) transmitted this memory by repeatedly reviving it in Athenian public discourse. Finally, Thebes' proposal to eradicate Athens in 405/4 left a traumatic mark on Athenian collective consciousness, while the alleged ritual destruction of Crisa provided a vivid paradigm for shaping this memory. This approach to the meanings of the past in public discourse both enhances our understanding of Athenian ideology and policy and provides a model for other studies of historical social memory.

▼ The figure of Hesiod and his poetry exercised a tremendous influence on Hellenistic writers. As scholarly topic, mythical figure, and source of poetic and artistic inspiration, his impact over this later era is wide-ranging. Hellenistic writers inherited a literary tradition in which Hesiod was one of Greece's earliest poets, and their literature's first authorial voice. Although Hesiod's poems were short compared with Homer's epics, there were a large number of them: in the Hellenistic opinion, they might have totaled as many as fifteen. Hellenistic writers were also aware of a rich biographical tradition about the poet himself. He had included details about his life in his poetry, and there were stories which grew up later about poetic competitions, his death, and a second, rejuvenated life. From the beginning, Hesiod's poems were always read and his reputation as one of Greece's greatest poets was secure. The fame of Hesiod began early, and his status, only increased in the Hellenistic period. In my dissertation I examine three central aspects of Hesiod in the Hellenistic imagination: scholarship, biography, and literary model. My dissertation represents a break with the usual treatments of Hesiod's poetry in the Hellenistic period by combining the study of three central aspects. I believe that they share an important and fundamental interconnection, and that to treat only one of them overlooks how varied and far-reaching Hesiod's impact truly was. I begin with a chapter that surveys the Hellenistic scholarship on Hesiod, which is supplemented by the appendix to the dissertation. The appendix contains the first-ever collection of the fragments of Hellenistic scholarship on Hesiod. My next chapter examines the reception and refashioning of his biography in the Hellenistic era. I begin with a summary of his pre-Hellenistic bios, and then discuss Hellenistic poems and epigrams that reworked his life's story. In the next two chapters, I change focus to discuss some ways Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days were used as a literary model in the Hellenistic period. Advisors/Committee Members: Scodel, Ruth S. (advisor), Acosta-Hughes, Benjamin B. (advisor).
