Página 80 - Nunc, quo Battiades inimicum devovet Ibin, hoc ego devoveo teque tuosque modo: nique ille, historiis involvam carmina caecis : non soleam quamvis hoc genus ipse sequi. Illius ambages imitatus in Ibide, dicar oblitus moris iudiciique mei...
Página 107 - Sciat etiam Ciceroni placuisse aiio Afatiamque geminata i scribere ; quod si est, etiam iungetur ut consonans " ; et Velius Longus his verbis (K. VII. 54. 16): " Et in plerisque Cicero videtur auditu emensus scriptionem, qui et Aiiacem...
Página 17 - Whatever other information about it we may be able to gather from these important records, there certainly is no implication in any one of them that the Opisthodomus mentioned was the western chamber or chambers of the cella either of the Parthenon or of the Hecatompedon. The case, therefore, now stands as follows : The assumption that the Opisthodomus was not a separate building involves the rejection of the testimony cited above of the lexicographers and scholiasts, who, as Harpocration, were often...
Página 39 - ... This use of the word, to designate the rear portico of a temple, is confirmed by its actual employment in the literature. It is thus applied to the western porticos of the temples of Zeus and Hera at Olympia. Nowhere is it used to designate a building that was and always had been a separate structure. This established application of the word seems to contradict hopelessly the view that the Opisthodomus on the Acropolis was a separate building; but in fact it itself indicates the solution of the...
Página 5 - Acropolis,at a part of the Acropolis, that lay behind the temple of Athena, and that it was used as a treasury. These old Greek interpreters have been variously dealt with by modern writers who have discussed the Opisthodomus.8 By the most of the scholars named above they have been silently ignored, for whatever reason ; by others they have been taken seriously4 ; by others still their testimony has been rejected as worthless.* In some instances it is impossible to tell by what interpretation of...
Página 14 - Opisthodomus mentioned was the western chamber or chambers of the celia either of the Parthenon or of the Hecatompedon. On the contrary, so far as they contain any implication at all, it is easier to suppose that the burning recorded by Demosthenes and the spoliation imagined by Lucian relate to a building that stood apart and was at least of a semi-secular character than to a part of a great temple. It is fairly incredible that the Parthenon should have been set on fire in the early years of the...
Página 39 - Hecatompedon, rebuilt, after the destruction of that temple in the Persian wars, to serve as it had served before the coming of Xerxes* as treasury of the gods and of the state. The peristyle of the temple disappeared;* its...
Página 38 - Erechtheum, was at the east of the temple, as was generally true of Greek temples, the Opisthodomus must have lain to the west of it, behind the Pandroseum, and must be sought for there. On this supposition there must have once existed at this place a substantial and independent structure, of the foundations of which, however, no trace has been brought to light by the recent thorough excavation of the Acropolis. This brings us face to face with a question of great apparent difficulty. Namely, how...
Página 109 - Pro simplici quoque in media dictione invenitur, sed in compositis, ut iniuria, adiungo, eiectus, reiice? Vergilius in bucólico (3. 96) proceleusmaticum posuit pro dactylo : Tityre, pascentes a flumine reiice* capellas.
Página 14 - The inference is that these two opisthodomi were not the same. This tells against the view of those who believe that the Opisthodomus was the western chamber of the cella of the Parthenon. The theory that the Opisthodomus on the Acropolis which was used as a treasury was a separate building is not contradicted by any references to it in literature. The references to it in inscriptions are the following : CIA. I. 32 A, 15-18, and B, 20-24; 273 ab, 16-20; 109; IV.
