Text of the page (random words):
ution discovered that no one was teaching second semester latin faculty figured this out when they saw the highest pre registration numbers for third semester latin ever due to this four week lead time the authorities have been as yet unable to locate the missing graduate students federal and local authorities in the chicago area have graciously remanded these parchment scraps to the scholarly community scholars using facilities at the university of michigan ann arbor and duke university have been able to reconstruct the text employing ultraviolet photography as well as scotch tape the arduous process of dating is still ongoing we are presently able to reproduce only the first four couplets quaeritis unde inter mortales qui sale nullo optuma epe veniant quae omnibus perplaceant an quis cantarit primum prima arma uirumque nec pater ennius est nec tamen ille maro quem ingeniosum etiam tam diligit aurea musa 5 ut uersus doctos candida commoueat is non graeculus est qui luminibus careat sed graius caecus iam est referunt alius 1 text depite the dramatic circumstances of its recovery the text itself seems stable if not without comparanda textual issues remain beyond the scope of this cursory initial treatment 2 language and prosody the language is clearly classical latin a terminus post quem of composition is c 1 bc the reference to ovid s amores establishes this for further discussion on the dating of amores cf mckeown 1989 the poem is composed in elegiac couplets there are some rather heavy elisions and several monosyllabic endings placing this well below the caliber of other classical poets composing in this meter 3 authorship faber homerius is named by no ancient source nor by any medieval source he clearly sees himself composing in the tradition of the other elegists but his persona is completely at odds with this posture faber claims to aspire to epic this sort of transgeneric recusatio is unique to faber rather than follow in the tradition of catullus propertius and ovid faber composes elegy while asserting his prowess in composing epic in doing so he has exceeded the persona of the exclusus amator faber is the exclusus poeta the effect is nothing short of ironic self praise which is subverted in ironic self mocking at the poem s close elegy is after all about the elegist unfortunately this elegist whoever he may be is not in the same league as those familiar to our canon yet unfailingly he places himself well above them too bad the poem seems to have been well served in a recycled capacity 4 materia beyond the conventional tropes associated with the exclusus amator there is nothing original in substance a great amount of attention seems to have been given to this elegy s statement on genre and perhaps being an elegist yet that statement is not given it remains incomplete not unlike the history of elegy itself but this poet whoever he is could not have been that clever 5 commentary 1 cf prop 2 1 1 2 quaeritis unde mihi totiens scribantur amores unde meus veniat mollis in ore liber 2 sale nullo witless supply sunt optuma deliberate archaism with epe but why perplaceant in poetry occurs only in comedy plautus mostellaria 907 mercator 348 and terence heauton 1066 whether this is another deliberate archaism or lazily applied metri causa is unclear 3 cf aen 1 1 the primum seems to serve adverbially as well as adjectivally the former reading supports the meaning the latter frames the chiasmus if this were a more capable poet this commentator would be impressed 4 an unusual generic twist faber in an elegy does what elegists do he claims literary primacy over epic poets though even catullus and propertius do not take aim at first tier poets like ennius or virgil yet faber is asserting or at least building up to the assertion that his epics are superior yet where are faber s epics 5 aurea musa it is not above elegists to discuss this sort of muse above their puellae yet none refers to his muse as golden though propertius refers to his musa or musae considerably more often than the other elegists the line recalls tibullus 1 4 65 ingeniosum for a thorough discussion on elegists and their

annual conference abstracts and proposals must not exceed 9000 words or 27 minutes for presentations offered in mime or dissonant chant the committee must unfortunately return all submissions from persons not yet of majority age abstracts and submissions should address any of the issues facing the field of interpretive mimetics today what are we doing what is being done how does it compare to what could be done what s he doing can i do that too how can we emulate what might be done through our own self consciousness in the act of self mimeticism despite the marginalization of the traditional paradigm of phallogenocentric schemata in today s society how can we trans remit the performative metadiscourses of the emergent transcultural mensch through re receiving the canon in neo

bologna nui blarney size με καὶ τὰ χελῶνα δὲ τὴν πο μ ετὰ τὸν θησ άων τινων 5 ντα μὲν τοῦ ι υθεῖσα έειν 10 ασθαι ἔγγυές τιν χελῶναι στρατ ον ἕπτα ταὶ λέγοντι ἦθος 15 σθέμεν τοῖσιν θι νεκροῖσι τῷ θριπὶ 1 the text a fragment recovered from a mummified hedgehog date of composition uncertain see below date of text c 476 31 bc though a terminus ante quem can only be confidently established as 1976 see below original site of excavation is unknown due to an uncommon archival error though probably from the mediterranean basin the fragment was rediscovered in 2005 found tucked inside a take out menu for a chip shop time and tide which is no longer in business though is reputed to have enjoyed the custom of many graduates in classics the menu itself was found in the 1976 volume of l année philologique apparently marking the page of the pindar entry 2 language and prosody the dialect appears to be literary doric in the manner of pindar and bacchylides and absent of the restored vernacularisms of alexandrian poets writing in affected doric e g callimachus and theocritus the uncontracted άων gen pl of line 5 is however inconsistent with pindaric and bacchylidean forms the meter is iambo trochaic beyond more precise determination without the left margin it would not be unreasonable to identify it as a trochaic meter by analogy to bacchylides especially bacchylides 17 see below the meter suggests that the poem is dithyrambic if not the content vowel quantity is consistent with the prosody observed by pindar and bacchylides the hiatus in line 15 is prevented by the presence of digamma cf pindar o 11 20 3 authorship pseudo bacchylides was likely a contemporary of bacchylides and pindar it is impossible to determine if he enjoyed patronage to the extent of his contemporaries the content of the fragment however suggests that he was writing in imitation of bacchylides rather than in admiration the similarities to bacchylides 17 are numerous though there are several deviations from the conventional account of thesus s expedition to crete gantz records no lemmata or recensions of the theseus myth including eels line 12 or wood eating insects line 18 theseus is well known to have contended with a turtle but the present context is sufficiently departed what remains does not appear to rise to the level of intertextual allusion anyone who has had the dubious fortune of judging submissions for undergraduate latin and greek composition prizes will recognize this ignorant one ups manship pardon the apostrophe 4 materia the state of the fragment prohibits any informed attempt at translation yet it does provide some enticing hints at reconstructing the poem s context 5 commentary 1 τὰ prob τὰ but perhaps ταὶ 2 χελῶνα prob χελῶναι 3 τὴν πο prob τὴν πόλιν athens 4 τὸν θησ prob τὸν θησέα 6 ι digamma present perhaps ϝίδε ν or ϝίδον campbell does not read digamma in bacchylides 17 16 but he was australian 7 υθεῖσαι prob τυθεῖσαι in reference to the girls or turtles to be offered to the minotaur 13 στρατ prob στρατός one comprised of both turtles and eels or perhaps στρατόν an army that the eels and turtles are facing together 14 ἕπτα ταί ταί nom pl could these be the seven girls or are they the seven turtles or perhaps the girls are being represented as turtles to reflect the expectations of public modesty if so what then of the eels indeed for a thoughtful discussion on maritime images as models of genderization in new comedy see ute mannschrank forthcoming in arethusa 15 λέγοντι 3pl pres the subject is the seven turtle girls who appear to be explaining their character ἦθος to the dead stripped of their physical femininity in their syncretistic chelonid depiction they are offering the purest form of woman to an audience unwilling or unable to receive it the foreshadowing of ariadne s lot is chilling 18 τῷ θριπί dat either as the other recipient of the speech of the turtle girls or as the instrument of a lost participle explaining how the men happened to die 6 conclusions none this is either a more interesting version of the theseus myth that were it available to pindar and bacchylides would give new reading pleasure to graduate students or perhaps it is a complete ringer composed by some bacchylides wannabe regardless it is an important text demanding complete reconsideration of the reception tradition of the theseus myth as well as of the culture of lyric poetry and of the lyric poetry of culture ed dr fabrizio is currently engaged in a rigorous and ambitious program of fieldwork searching for any additional evidence of alternate theseus cycles he has immersed himself into the storytelling cultures of both attica and crete you may contact him with queries about his work at the ταβερνα θησειο the theseum tavern in the piraeus or in the ταβερνα χρυσοχελωνες the golden turtles tavern in iraklio crete he is not accepting applications from graduate students but is sorely in need

fragment recovered just recently has already been circulated widely among textual critics specializing in elegy or epigram the condition of the fragment is better than that of many recent finds from oxyrhynchus though still lacking in critical points and so the first round of critical treatment has already generated considerable disagreement perhaps the greatest point of dispute is that of authorship handschuhputz is convinced that this is a fragment of gallus given the source of this papyrus fragment and the elegiac motifs this must be a fragment of galllus as such this casts new insight into the death of gallus perhaps he did not take his own life after he disgraced himself in his praetorship of egypt rather than by the will of augustus it appears he died by the lacerations of his puella zimmermann argues that it is a propertian couplet citing the resolved simile opening line 1 cf prop 1 3 7 which implies that this could not be the first line and the zeugma handschuhputz replied simply that he wanted to be able to say that he worked on a gallus fragment in this way really really bad nevertheless just once the other critics have refrained from posing any conjecture brugel zimmermann and jürgen handshuhputz are well known textual critics of today as leaders of the new leipzig school of german philologists they have been especially critical of the anglo american
