This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Death and Burial in Attic Tragedy Death and the Dead, Vol. 1 Ancient Greek life was divided into SO many small separate streams, and developed so rapidly towards both its perfection and its decay, that very few statements can be true either Of the whole people or Of the Whole period. While undoubtedly many customs survived through centuries, at the same time fashions changed from generation to generation in even the most important points; the contact with outside nations, the introduction Of foreign religions, and the experience of new forms Of government, radically and continually affected thought and life throughout the entire nation. Besides, though homogeneous in race, and to a certain extent in language, the Greeks were far from being so in any other respect. In the separate states, the development was remarkably uneven, in dividualism was the most striking characteristic, and every city and hamlet prided itself on legends and practices pecu liarly its own. The study of Greek life, to be properly understood, Should be taken up country by country and period by period. Here tofore this has not been possible; now, with the multitudes Of inscriptions of all sorts coming daily to the surface, with the works Of long-lost authors, vases and gems, temples and palaces, perpetually unearthed, we may hope ultimately for a fairly intelligible reconstruction of the daily life and feeling Of that great race to whom we owe the best of our culture and the greater part Of our civilization.

Excerpt: ...by the stories of Nisus and Meleager," that the external soul of the one resided in the purple lock of hair which his daughter cut off, and of the other in the firebrand which his mother caused to be burned. The majority of the dead, however, never played the part of ghosts nor wandered into other bodies. What, then, became of them? There was always a vague feeling, the result of a materializing philosophy, that the dead, even if still sustaining a sort of life of their own so as actually to feel the weight of mould upon them,1 were unconscious and forgetful of earth,2 Bito66v Tz ml ouav avLxfiehii; and Iwanowitsch3 remarks that they rarely answered prayers addressed to them. But affection and fear, though operating from different causes, both militated strongly against these notions. Homer4 is not clear on this point and his statements are often contradictory; but the Tragedians have much to say, though their expressions are not always quite consistent. The ghost of Dariuss remembers perfectly all that happened up to the time of his death, but, like some of Odysseus' interlocutors, nothing further; and his famous prophetic power seems to have been simply his recollection of the oracles he had heard before dying, the import of which he now by the light of current events begins to understand. The ghost of Clytaemnestra,6 however, is keenly alive to all that is going on, her perceptive faculties having become only sharper through death; and this seems to accord with the general belief.7 The dead, if they were not conscious of mundane things, could at least be informed of them through J prayer.8 Sophocles9 tells us that they received news through 04/uz, -and Euripides10 sometimes speaks of them as of dwellers in a distant land learning...
Download or read book Marriage to Death written by Rush Rehm and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between weddings and death—as found in dramas ranging from Romeo and Juliet to Lorca's Blood Wedding—plays a central role in the action of many Greek tragedies. Female characters such as Kassandra, Antigone, and Helen enact and refer to significant parts of wedding and funeral rites, but often in a twisted fashion. Over time the pressure of dramatic events causes the distinctions between weddings and funerals to disappear. In this book, Rush Rehm considers how and why the conflation of the two ceremonies comes to theatrical life in the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophokles, and Euripides. By focusing on the dramatization of important rituals conducted by women in ancient Athenian society, Rehm offers a new perspective on Greek tragedy and the challenges it posed for its audience. The conflation of weddings and funerals, the author argues, unleashes a kind of dramatic alchemy whereby female characters become the bearers of new possibilities. Such as formulation enables the tragedians to explore the limitations of traditional thinking and acting in fifth-century Athens. Rehm finds that when tragic weddings and funerals become confused and perverted, the aftershocks disturb the political and ideological givens of Athenian society, challenging the audience to consider new, and often radically different, directions for their city. Rush Rehm is Assistant Professor of Drama and Classics at Standford University and a free-lance theater director. He is the author of Greek Tragic Theatre (Routledge) and Aeschylus' Oresteia: A Theatre Vision (Hawthorn). Originally published in 1994.

Download or read book Harmful Interaction between the Living and the Dead in Greek Tragedy written by Bridget Martin and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifth-century Greek tragedy contains some of the most fascinating and important stage-ghosts in Western literature, whether the talkative Persian king Darius, who is evoked from the Underworld in Aeschylus’ Persians, or the murdered Trojan prince Polydorus, who seeks burial for his exposed corpse in Euripides’ Hecuba. These manifest figures can tell us a vast amount about the abilities of the tragic dead, particularly in relation to the nature, extent and limitations of their interaction with the living through, for example, ghost-raising ceremonies and dreams. Beyond these manifest dead, tragedy presents a wealth of invisible dead whose anger and desire for revenge bubble up from the Underworld, and whose honour and dishonour occupy the minds and influence the actions of the living. Combining both these manifest and invisible dead, this book examines harmful interaction between the living and the dead, i.e. how the living can harm the dead, and how the dead can harm the living. This includes discussions on the extent to which the dead are aware of and can react to honourable or dishonourable treatment by the living, the social stratification of the Underworld, the consequences of corpse exposure and mutilation for both the living and the dead, and how the dead can use and collaborate with avenging agents, such as the gods, the living and the Erinyes.

Download or read book Euripides Alcestis written by Andreas Markantonatos and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an accessible yet in-depth narratological study of Euripides’ Alcestis - the earliest extant play of Euripides and one of the most experimental masterpieces of Greek tragedy, not only standing in place of a satyr-play but also preserving at least some of its typical features. Commencing from the widely-held view, so lamentably ignored within the domain of Classics, that a narratology of drama should be predicated upon the notion of narrative as verbal, as well as visual, rendition of a story, this unique volume contextualizes the play in terms of its reception by the original audience, locating the intricate narrative tropes of the plot in the dynamics of fifth-century Athenian mythology and religion.
Download or read book Tod und Ritual in den christlichen Gemeinden der Antike written by Ulrich Volp and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Early Christian rituals in connection with death and burial has so far not sufficiently been explored. Volp’s study focuses on the surviving literary sources—both pagan and Christian—, together with inscriptions and other archaeological remains while taking into account recent results from science and humanities. A summary of death and ritual in the ancient Mediterranean religions is followed by detailed analyses of the Christian sources from the 2nd to the 5th century. Thus, basic developments are being discovered which led to and accompanied the forming of Christian rituals, such as ritual purity or the social structure of family and society. Being the first such interdisciplinary approach, it also represents the first monographic work on the topic since 1941.
