Excerpts from "Women of Classical Mythology: A Biographical Dictionary" by Robert E. Bell and from an essay in "Companion to Literary Myths, Heroes, and Archetypes" by Ed. Pierre Brunel. Helen , the face that launched a thousand ships, was a tantalizing enigma from the very first. She was flesh and blood certainly, but she was also immortal, since her father was none other than Zeus. Her mother was the beautiful Leda, queen of Sparta, who was ravished by the father of the gods in the form of a swan. Leda's husband was Tyndarecus, who later the same night, unaware of his feathered predecessor, also impregnated his wife. She produced two eggs, one of which yielded Helen and Polydeuces and the other of which contained Castor and Clytemnestra.

TROY TROY AND TROAD 7. To " Mycenaean " Troy succeeded a small unfortified settlement, which maintained itself all through the Hellenic age till the Homeric enthusiasm of Alexander the Great called a city again into being on Hissarlik. 8. The Hellenistic Ilion, however, has left comparatively little trace, having been almost completely destroyed in 85 B.C. by Fimbria. Portions of fortifications erected by Lysimachus are visible both on the acropolis (west face chiefly) and round the lower city in the plain. A small Doric temple belongs to the foundation of this city, and a larger one, probably dedicated to Athena, seems to be of the Pergamene age. Of its metopes, representing Helios and a gigantomachia, important fragments have been recovered. Coins of this city are not rare, showing Athena on both faces, and some inscriptions have been recovered proving that Hellenistic Ilion was an important municipality. 9. Lastly about the Christian era, arose a Graeco-Roman city, to which belong the theatre on the south-east slope of the hill and the ornate gateway in the same quarter, as well as a large building on the south-west and extensive remains to north-east. This seems to have sunk into decay about the 5th century A.D. BIBLIOGRAPHY.J. F.

Front Page Encyclopedias Dictionaries Almanacs ... Quotes Quintus Smyrnaeus Quintus Smyrnaeus Greek epic poet, probably flourished in the latter part of the 4th century AD . He is sometimes called Quintus Calaber , because the only manuscript of his poem was discovered at Otranto in Calabria by Cardinal Bessarion in . According to his own account (xii. 310), he tried his hand at poetry in his early youth, while tending sheep at Smyrna (present-day Izmir ). His epic in fourteen books, known as Posthomerica , takes up the tale of Troy at the point where Homer 's Iliad breaks off (the death of Hector ), and carries it down to the capture of the city by the Greeks. The first five books, which cover the same ground as the Aethiopis of Arctinus of Miletus , describe the doughty deeds and deaths of Penthesileia the Amazon , of Memnon , son of the Morning, and of Achilles ; the funeral games in honour of Achilles, the contest for the arms of Achilles and the death of Ajax . The remaining books relate the exploits of Neoptolemus Eurypylus and Deiphobus , the deaths of Paris and Oenone , the capture of Troy by means of the wooden horse , the sacrifice of Polyxena at the grave of Achilles, the departure of the Greeks, and their dispersal by the storm. The poet has no originality; in conception and style his work is closely modelled on Homer. His materials are borrowed from the cyclic poems from which

Troy and Medieval Romance Transferring Troy to the Twelfth Century (and Beyond) In the fourth century A.D. the Roman Emperor Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Constantinople (now Istanbul). Not long after this move, the empire itself split into east and west. The eastern Roman Empire was Greek in language and culture; the western was Latin. While Homer's Iliad and Odyssey continued to be read, taught and loved in the Greek-speaking eastern Roman Empire, they were increasingly ignored in the west. As knowledge of the Greek language declined in Europe, and Latin became more widespread, the Latin Aeneid became the dominant Troy story in Europe. Consequently, the Greeks remained heroes in the East, while the Trojans became the heroes in the West.

But the higher criticism, analysing the simile, detected elements from Shakespeare and from Beaumont and Fletcher. Which, cast in later Grecian mould, Quintus Calaber Would haunt the desolated fane, and there Gaze at the ruin, often mutter low On fire to the West? or is the Demon-god Thou deedless dreamer, lazying out a life And once a flight of shadowy fighters crost The disk, and once, he thought, a shape with wings Came sweeping by him, and pointed to the West, By waste and field and town of alien tongue, Following a hundred sunsets, and the sphere Of westward-wheeling stars; and every dawn Struck from him his own shadow on to Rome.

DBA Resource Page Blemmye or Nobades (30 BC - 650 AD) (DBA 63) In the second century A.D., the Nobades (e.g. Nobatae, Nobadae) emerged from the west to occupy the west bank of the Nile in northern Kush (Lower Nubia) . One of several well-armed bands of horse and camel-borne warriors who sold protection to the Kings of Meroitic Kush; eventually the Nobades intermarried and established themselves among the Meroitic people as a military aristocracy. During this period, the Meroitic Kush kingdom contracted because of the northward expansion of Axum, a powerful Abyssinian state. Around 350 AD, an Axumite army captured and destroyed Meroe, ending that kingdom's independent existence. By 375 AD, the Nobades had their own well-established kingdom of Ballana (Nobatia) to the north near the third cataract of the Nile River (and near the modern Sudanese border). The Blemmye were a fierce nomadic people from the mountainous regions near Nubia's Eastern Desert. Known to the Arabs as the Bedja, their raids are mentioned in Kushite annals as early as the fourth century BC. They preyed on the ancient trade route connecting the Nile Valley to the Africa interior, which supplied Egypt and Rome with a wide variety of exotic goods including frankincense, myrrh, ivory, ebony and other exotic woods, precious oils, resins and gums, panther and leopard skins, monkeys, dogs, giraffes, ostrich feathers and eggs, and pygmies. In the first century AD, they began a series of constant raids against Kushite and Romano Egyptian garrison-towns and were eventually able to occupy much of southern Egypt and Lower Nubia.

Home Author Index Shakespeare The Bible ... Chapter 10 Chapter 10 In the year 1889 the poet's health had permitted him to take long walks on the sea-shore and along the cliffs, one of which, by reason of its whiteness, he had named "Taliessin," "the splendid brow." His mind ran on a poem founded on an Egyptian legend (of which the source is not mentioned), telling how "despair and death came upon him who was mad enough to try to probe the secret of the universe." He also thought of a drama on Tristram, who, in the Idylls, is treated with brevity, and not with the sympathy of the old writer who cries, "God bless Tristram the knight: he fought for England!" But early in 1890 Tennyson suffered from a severe attack of influenza. In May Mr Watts painted his portrait, and "Divinely through all hindrance found the man." Tennyson was a great admirer of Miss Austen's novels: "The realism and life-likeness of Miss Austen's Dramatis Personae come nearest to those of Shakespeare. Shakespeare, however, is a sun to which Jane Austen, though a bright and true little world, is but an asteroid."

Herodotus Setting Forth of the Persian Wars 110) When the Hellenes fought against the Amazons (the Scythians call the Amazons Oiorpata, a name that means A slayers of men in Greek, for they call a man A oior and denote A to kill by A pata. ), the story at that time was that the Hellenes, after conquering them in a battle along the Thermodon River, sailed away, bringing in three ships as many of the Amazons as they could capture alive. The Amazons attacked the men at sea and cut them to pieces. But the Amazons did not understand ships or how to use rudders, sails, and oars. After they slaughtered the men, they were carried by both wave and wind. They arrived at Late Maiotis to a place called The Cliffs. (The Cliffs are in the land of the free Scyths.) There, the Amazons disembarked from the ships and proceeded by land into the inhabited regions. Chancing upon a heard of horses, they seized the animals and began plundering the territory of the Scythians from horseback. 111) The Scythians could not understand what was happening. They did not recognize the language or the clothes or the tribe but were perplexed over where the Amazons came from. They thought that the Amazons were men in early adulthood and commenced to engage them in battle. After the battle, however, they took possession of the bodies and learned in this way that they were women. Accordingly, they deliberated the issue and resolved not to try to kill them in any way but to send out the youngest men among them in as near a number to the Amazons as they could guess. They resolved that these men camp near the Amazons and do whatever they did. If the Amazons chased them, they were not to fight but to withdraw. Whenever the Amazons stopped, they were to return and camp near the Amazons. The Scythians formed these resolutions because they wanted to produce children by the Amazons.

The Trojans and their Allies The eighth century before the present era, starting in -776, was, together with the beginning of the seventh, a period of great natural upheavals. These changes in nature moved entire nations to migrations in the hope that beyond the horizon Fertile lands, not damaged by unchained forces of nature, awaited the conquerors. A few decades afterwards these same nomads were to destroy the short-lived Phrygian kingdom. The tradition of how Gordias, the first king of the Phrygians in their new domicile, selected the pile of his new capital, Gordion, is a well-known legend. Under Midas, the son of Gordias, the Phrygian kingdom reached the peak of its power; He reigned, according to the chronicle of Hieronymus, preserved by Eusebius, from -742 to -696; But eastern Anatolia was not yet pacified, and continuing disturbances brought Sargon several more times to the defense of his northeastern frontier; he finally met his death there in battle in -705. The Phrygian kingdom in Asia Minor had an ephemeral existence.

Home Narrative Introduction Letter forms ... InsAph Section: I II III IV ... XII Section IX: Funerary texts Document Contents Epitaphs with bullion penalties Epitaphs in verse Other epitaphs Inscriptions in this section IX.1 Aphrodisias in the Roman period was, like any other city of the time, ringed by graveyards; since burial within cities was not permitted except in the most exceptional circumstances, necropoleis developed immediately outside the city. When the walls of Aphrodisias were built in the mid-fourth century, following the line of the city boundary, they incorporated a good deal of material from funerary monuments outside the city; as a result, although no necropolis at Aphrodisias has yet been extensively excavated, we possess many funerary inscriptions of the Roman period from this re-used material (see, for example, CIG MAMA , 532-97). They are mostly expressed in recurring formulae, which, while reflecting forms current elsewhere in Asia Minor, use terms particular to Aphrodisias, just as other cities and areas have their own funerary terminology.
