Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-standing controversy as to whether or not the Latin Ephemeris Belli Trojani, preserved under the name of Dictys Cretensis (ed. F. Meister, Teubner, Leipsic, 1872), rests upon a Greek original has at length been settled in the affirmative by the recent discovery of a fragment of the Greek Dictys. The fragment in question was found in the winter of 1899-1900 in the Egyptian town of Umm el Baragat (the ancient Tebtunis) on the back of a series of revenue returns dated 206 A. D. and is published by the discoverers in Tebtunis Papyri Vol. II, pp. 9 ff., London, 1907. Comparison of the fragment, which is short and badly mutilated, with the corresponding portions of the extant versions of Dictys proves beyond a doubt that it forms part of the long-lost Greek text. The annals of Dictys Cretensis survive in four mutually independent versions, the Latin Ephemeris Belli Trojani of the fourth century A. D., and three later Greek versions, embodied in Byzantine world chronicles, by Joannes Malalas (sixth century), Joannes Antiochenus1 (seventh century), and Georgius Cedrenus (eleventh century), respectively. It is my present purpose to inquire what light the newly discovered fragment sheds upon the relation of these versions to their original and to one another. To begin with the Latin Ephemeris. The Greek fragment proves, in the first place, that a certain Lucius Septimius, who, in an epistle prefixed to the Latin text, claims that he has translated the ensuing annals of Dictys from the Greek (Meister, p. i, 1. 16), was not, as the advocates of a Latin Dictys had maintained, the author of these annals,' but, as he himself declares, merely the translator of an earlier work written in Greek. In the second place, the fragment accurately bears out a further assertion made by Septimius in his epistle with regard to the manner in which he performed his task of translation. This he describes as follows:nobis cum in manus forte libelli venissent, avidos verae historiae cupido incessit ea uti erant Latine disserere, non magis confisi ingenio, quam ut otiosi animi desidiam discuteremus (Meister, p. I, ll. 14-18). If now, taking the words "uti erant Latine disserere" to mean a loose paraphrase as distinguished from a literal translation, we compare the claim of Septimius with his actual practice, we find that he is, as a matter of fact, at constant pains to expand the wording of his original. —American Journal of Philology, Page 329 [1907]

Download or read book The First Pagan Historian written by Frederic Clark and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The History of the Destruction of Troy, Dares the Phrygian boldly claimed to be an eyewitness to the Trojan War, while challenging the accounts of two of the ancient world's most canonical poets, Homer and Virgil. For over a millennium, Dares' work was circulated as the first pagan history. It promised facts and only facts about what really happened at Troy precise casualty figures, no mention of mythical phenomena, and a claim that Troy fell when Aeneas and other Trojans betrayed their city and opened its gates to the Greeks. But for all its intrigue, the work was as fake as it was sensational. From the late antique encyclopedist Isidore of Seville to Thomas Jefferson, The First Pagan Historian offers the first comprehensive account of Dares' rise and fall as a reliable and canonical guide to the distant past. Along the way, it reconstructs the central role of forgery in longstanding debates over the nature of history, fiction, criticism, philology, and myth, from ancient Rome to the Enlightenment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die ‚alternativen‘ Fassungen des trojanischen Mythos von Dictys und Dares gehören zu den interessantesten und zugleich rätselhaftesten Werken der Spätantike. Dennoch erhalten sie erst seit Kurzem die ihnen gebührende Aufmerksamkeit, und viele Fragen sind noch immer ungelöst. Dies ist eines der ersten Bücher, das sich auf die Beiträge verschiedener Gelehrter stützt, um die Themengebiete in all ihren verschiedenen Facetten umfassend zu behandeln, angefangen mit der heiklen Frage nach den (wahren oder angeblichen) griechischen Modellen, hin zum kulturellen Kontext, der erwarteten Zielgruppe, Intertextualität, strukturellen Mustern, der Erzähltechnik, Themen, Charakteren, Zielen, bis zu Stil und Sprache. Daraus ergibt sich eine vollständigere und teilweise neue Sichtweise auf die zwei Werke. The ‘alternative’ rewritings of the Trojan myth by Dictys and Dares are among the most interesting and mysterious works of Late Antiquity: yet it is only recently that they have started getting due attention, and many issues about them still remain unsolved. This is one of the first books that relies on contributions by several scholars to comprehensively cover this subject in its various aspects, from the delicate question of (true or supposed) Greek models to cultural context, expected audience, intertextuality, structural patterns, narrative technique, themes, characters, aims, up to style and language. What emerges is a fuller and partly new view of the two works.
