Excerpt: ...the dragon at Delphi (7th Munychion), on which ensues the Delphic Festival, the Pythia7: and secondly, that the Attic Court Delphinion took cognizance only of justifiable homicide; plainly an institution of very early times, when it was still generally understood that the Delphinios is the God triumphing over the hostile serpent ( . 67). Now at Delphi dirges were sung over the grave of the Delphine; Apollo himself must do every thing to appease the Dragon--must undergo exile and servitude; and thus it is very probable that the Delphinia also had this object. In Corinth too fourteen children were sent into the temple of Juno, where with shorn heads and black clothes they were to appease the children of Medea by penitential offerings and mournful hymns1: now these children of Medea are either themselves infernal powers, which is indicated by the name of one of them, Mermeros (the Dreadful2); or, to forbear at present a deeper investigation of the origin of this Mythus, at least they are infernal spirits and objects of alarm to the upper world. As the servitude of Apollo begins with the slaying of the Python, as the service of the fourteen Athenian children commences with the Delphinia; so the residence of the fourteen Corinthian children in the temple is a periodic servitude, and therefore called aireviavTia(ws In iEgina the festival Hydrophoria was held during the Delphinian month, as it was at Athens in Anthesterion, the month appointed in the Attic Calendar for the worship of the dead. It may be more conveniently proved in detail upon some other occasion, that these Hydrophoria in Greece were generally vernal solemnities, at which water was poured into chasms, especially such as, according to the old legends, the earth-born brood of...
Download or read book Aeschylus Libation Bearers written by C. W. Marshall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libation Bearers is the 'middle' play in the only extant tragic trilogy to survive from antiquity, Aeschylus' Oresteia, first produced in 458 BCE. This introduction to the play will be useful for anyone reading it in Greek or in translation. Drawing on his wide experience teaching about performance in the ancient world, C. W. Marshall helps readers understand how the play was experienced by its ancient audience. His discussion explores the impact of the chorus, the characters, theology, and the play's apparent affinities with comedy. The architecture of choral songs is described in detail. The book also investigates the role of revenge in Athenian society and the problematic nature of Orestes' matricide. Libation Bearers immediately entered the Athenian visual imagination, influencing artistic depictions on red-figured vases, and inspiring plays by Euripides and Sophocles. This study looks to the later plays to show how 5th-century audiences understood Libation Bearers. Modern reception of the play is integrated into the analysis. The volume includes a full range of ancillary material, providing a list of relevant red-figure vase illustrations, a glossary of technical terms, and a chronology of ancient and modern theatrical versions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Eumenides", the concluding drama in Aeschylus' sole surviving trilogy, the "Oresteia", is not only one of the most admired Greek tragedies, but also one of the most controversial and contested, both to specialist scholars and public intellectuals. It stands at the crux of the controversies over the relationship between the fledgling democracy of Athens and the dramas it produced during the City Dionysia, and over the representation of women in the theatre and their implied status in Athenian society. The "Eumenides" enacts the trial of Agamemnon's son Orestes, who had been ordered under the threat of punishment by the god Apollo to murder his mother Clytemnestra, who had earlier killed Agamemnon.In the "Eumenides", Orestes, hounded by the Eumenides (Furies), travels first to Delphi to obtain ritual purgation of his mother's blood, and then, at Apollo's urging, to Athens to seek the help of Athena, who then decides herself that an impartial jury of Athenians should decide the matter. Aeschylus thus presents a drama that shows a growing awareness of the importance of free will in Athenian thought through the mythologized institution of the first jury trial.

Download or read book Plato on Punishment written by Mary Margaret Mackenzie and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punishments hurt. Therefore they must be justifie; but philosophical attempts to do so founder in contradictions and moral difficulties. Danger faces the unwary penologist, yet he persists, for with social organization comes the need to punish those who do wrong. Plato on Punishment draws together philosophy, law, and the history of ideas in the classical topic of Plato's penology; it discusses this philosopher's attitude towards punishment in relation to the whole of his philosophy. Mackenzie beings by examining the three major theories of punishment current today (retribution, utilitarianism, and reform), arguing that, held separately, they are objectionable; maintained simultaneously, they provoke intolerable conflict. Thus attempt to justify punishment is necessarily doomed to failure. However, Mackenzie claims that compelling reasons lead people to punish. Drawing on the development of the moral valus of early and classical Greece, she shows how the institution fo punishment is entailed by ordinary moral attitudes. Finally, Mackenzie presents Plato's theory of reformative punishment in relation to the whole of his moral theory. She argues that, although his theory of punishment appears formidable when viewed as a product of his moral theory, it requires the strong foundation of an unacceptable Platonic metaphysic. Plato succumbs to the demands imposed by tradition of moral justice, thus demonstrating how heavy the pressure of ordinary moral attitudes can be: reinforced by tradition, we, like Plato, are compelled to justify punishment, although the rationale we employ is but imperfect. Mackenzie criticizes the modern philosophy of punishment. She participates in the current controversy about he development of Greek values. And her account of Plato's theory of punishment is the first to employ both the perspective of classical scholarship and a modern philosophical viewpoint. The major contribution of this original work is the fusion of three elements--the philosophy of punishment, the history of ideas, and Platonic scholarship--into a single argument: we should not punish, but we must.
