"Women of Trachis": Sophocles' Forgotten Play, Part I (Ad Navseam, Episode 176)

This week the guys begin their look at Sophocles' "Women of Trachis", the one play among the surviving Sophoclean tragedies that scholars have scratched their heads over. The general feeling is that it's underdeveloped, lacking central themes, and  just a mish-mash of other traditions. But is this true? Dave and Jeff explore the play's Herculean mythic background, and some Sophoclean tweaks to see if there might just be some hidden gems here. Note the empathy and heartache of Deianira, balanced by the coldness and suspicion of Heracles. Could it be that the academics were wrong about this one? Shocking, we know.

Ralston College Humanities MA   Dr Paul Epstein is a distinguished classicist and Professor Emeritus of Classics at Oklahoma State University, renowned for his extensive knowledge of Greek and Latin literature.  In this lecture and discussion—delivered in Savannah during the x term of the inaugural year of Ralston College's MA in the Humanities program—classicist Dr Paul Epstein considers how Sophocles's tragedy Women of Trachis and Aristophanes's comedy Frogs arise from—and reflect upon—the polis-centered polytheism of ancient Greece as it appeared during the Athenian flourishing of the fifth century BC. Professor Epstein explores how these Greek dramas articulate the relationship between human beings, the gods, and the community. Tragedy, in Professor Epstein's account, is about the overall structure of the community, while comedy starts with the individual's exploration of that community. Yet both forms ultimately reveal an understanding of the individual that is inseparable from the polis in which he or she lives. Professor Epstein argues that our contemporary notion of the self as an entity fundamentally separate from context would be entirely alien to the ancient Greeks. Grasping this ancient understanding of the individual is vitally necessary if we are to correctly interpret the literary and philosophical texts of Hellenic antiquity. *In this lecture and discussion, classicist Dr. Paul Epstein considers how Sophocles's tragedy Women of Trachis and Aristophanes's comedy Frogs arise from—and reflect upon—the polis-centered polytheism of ancient Greece during the Athenian flourishing of the fifth century BC.

“With one day's reading, a man may have the key in his hands.” Aldus Ezra Pound, de Amerikaanse dichter, criticus, vertaler en uitgever die in aflevering 21 centraal staat. Hoogleraar moderne Engelse literatuur Peter Liebregts vertelt ons over het veelbewogen leven van de man die ook wel de vroedvrouw van het Modernisme genoemd wordt. Zo hielp hij schrijvers als Hilda Doolittle, Amy Lowell, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce en Ernest Hemingway bijvoorbeeld bij het redigeren en publiceren van hun werk. We bespreken onder andere Pounds jeugd en dichterlijke aspiraties, zijn voornemen om grip te krijgen op het beste van de Europese en Aziatische literatuur, en de totstandkoming van zijn magnum opus, de Cantos. Ook staan we stil bij een donkerdere kant van Pound: zijn bewondering voor Mussolini en zijn fascistische en antisemitische radiovoordrachten. In de tweede helft van het gesprek geeft professor Liebregts een inkijk in zijn onderzoek voor zijn tweede boek over Pound, het in 2019 verschenen Translations of Greek Tragedy in the Work of Ezra Pound. Pounds kennis van het Oudgrieks en Pounds vertalingen van zowel Sophocles' Elektra als Vrouwen van Trachis blijken veel gedegener dan voorheen gedacht werd, en Peter is daar met hulp van een bijzondere Pound-kenner achter gekomen… Veel luisterplezier!

Robert van Altena spreekt met Vladimir Stissi over de archeologische opgraving bij Magoula Plataniotiki, in Thessalië, Griekenland. Deze opgraving is een samenwerking van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en de Universiteit van Thessalië, Griekenland. Het is de veronderstelde lokatie van het klassieke Halos, dat vermeld wordt door zowel Herodotus als Homerus. In de Ilias betreft het een vermelding in wat de scheepscatalogus wordt genoemd: de opsomming van de schepen die de verschillende volken bemannen voor de oorlog met Troje. “Dan alle mannen die het Pelasgische Argos bevolkten, en die woonden in steden als Alos, Alope, Trachis, en in Fthia, en Hellas met zijn beeldschone vrouwen, mannen die Myrmidonen heetten, Hellenen, Achaiërs. Van hun vijftig schepen was Achilleus de leider.” ( Boek 2, vers 681-685, Ilias (Van Oorschot, 2015) vert. Imme Dros ).

Mitologia: le meravigliose storie del mondo antico

La taciturna e bellissima Iole, prigioniera di guerra di Eracle, entra a Trachis insieme alle altre schiave.La principessa schiava è, pare, destinata a diventare la concubina di Eracle, e Deianira, la legittima consorte dell’eroe, trema al solo pensiero di perdere l’amore del marito.Ella è solamente preoccupata di questo: ha sempre saputo che Eracle attira belle giovani ed è da queste a sua volta attratto. Non teme Iole né la disprezza per la sua entrata in scena: Deianira teme che Iole o una successiva nuova fiamma possano farle perdere per sempre l’amore del marito...Per riconquistare e tenere per sempre legato a lei Eracle, Deianira decide di trattare con quello che lei crede essere il filtro d’amore del centauro, una tunica per sacrifici che Eracle, nei riti che sia compiendo fuori città, sicuramente vorrà indossare.Piena di speranza, unge lei stessa la tunica e con attenzione ricopre ogni singola piega col mortale veleno...
