"This paper reconstructs two old, previously undiscovered versions of myths that represent the ‹barbaric› Amazons in a positive light as immigrants, female ancestors and founding heroines. The paper focuses on the tale of Theseus and Antiope – an especially popular narrative at the end of the 6th c. BC that can be connected with very old cult monuments in Athens. In Ephesos findings from recent excavations in the Temple of Artemis coming from the Early Archaic Period (7th century BC) may likewise have provided reasons for the emergence of an older foundation legend there as well.
Under the influence of the Persian wars and of Athens’ subsequent hegemonic interests these stories lost their function as migration myths serving to establish identity and were eclipsed by Greek-Barbarian duality. This process was so successful because the old spatial references were no longer present."

How does the afterlife affect ethical and political considerations in this life when a culture has no unified religious dogma? This article focuses on the afterlife as an uncertain “elsewhere” invoked to rethink political imperatives in specific Ancient Greek literary and philosophical texts. First, it uncovers the political implications of radically divergent notions of the afterlife in both Aeschylus’s Oresteia and Sophocles’s Antigone—from nothingness, to continuation in a society of souls below, to ethical judgment by a divinity—significant examples of which have been neglected. It then follows out the almost congruent diversity of afterlife notions in Plato’s Apology and Phaedo. By examining how Socrates uses “unbelief” (apistia, among other words) concerning the afterlife to interrogate ethics and politics, this article gives a fresh perspective on the structure of debate in the Phaedo. The very emphasis on “unbelief,” however, demonstrates that the dialogue itself may not present Socratic views as definitive.

This note asks why a dog has any role to play in this tale, much less a very strange one. Why did Orestheus not merely chance upon a root-crown, which when planted produced the vine, or even upon the primordial vine already in fruit? The method I shall bring to bear on this question is broadly speaking anthropological: searching early λόγοι (both mythic and historical accounts) and rituals to try to find the core meaning hidden in Hecataeus' tale. I shall consider four things, each in some way parallel to Hecataeus' tale: the rival Athenian story of the invention of wine; an account of an "animal of a different species" giving birth to a vine; the story that is to bread what Orestheus' is to wine; and the ritual sacrifice of a goat to the ultimate giver of wine -- whom Hecataeus is at such pains to expunge from the record -- the god Dionysus.

"This article deals with Ariadne and Amphitrite's similarities in the iconographic speech.

Las similitudes iconográficas entre Anfítrite y Ariadna no han despertado ningún interés por parte de los especialistas, a pesar de existir algunos interesantes ejemplos donde los pintores han decidido combinar escenas con las dos como protagonistas. En las fuentes literarias no existe ninguna mención a un episodio mítico en las que las dos compartan escena, pero la pintura vascular las ha retratado juntas en más de una ocasión y convendría entender el porqué.""
