Merope’s Legacy on the Italian Stage (15 mins.)
Recently female classical scholars working on Homer have increasingly turned their attention to the Iliad. This trend has been fueled in part by a development outside of Classics: since WW2, a handful of influential women writers have used the Iliad as a way of making sense of their own historical, personal, and cultural contexts. The seminar will be based on five papers focusing on a selection of these authors, who come from distinct political and cultural backgrounds but whose works often show similar concerns: Barbara Gold’s paper centers on Simone Weil, who published her essay “The Iliad, or the Poem of Force” (1940-41) during the Nazi occupation of France; Seth Schein elucidates a competing interpretation of force offered by Rachel Bespaloff in her book On the Iliad (1943); Nancy Rabinowitz discusses the East German author Christa Wolf, whose depiction of the Trojan War from a woman’s perspective in the novel Cassandra (1983) is informed by developments in her homeland; Sheila Murnaghan explores short poems by recent American poets, like Louise Glück (“The Triumph of Achilles” [2004]) and Adrienne Rich (“Reading the Iliad (As If) for the First Time” [2009]), who turn to the Iliad in order to probe into questions of heroism and loss; Carolin Hahnemann seeks to uncover a feminist agenda in the poem “Memorial. An Excavation of the Iliad” (2011) by the English poet Alice Oswald.

Ancient warfare has enjoyed something of a renaissance since the publication of Victor Davis Hanson’s The Western Way of War. Despite the vast outpouring of scholarship, one aspect of ancient military history has remained mostly elusive: asymmetric warfare, or conflict between belligerents “who have disparate military capabilities and strategies” (RAND). Hanson’s emphasis on the decisive battle as the focus of attention in the “western way of war” has caused many to lose sight of the number of other forms of unconventional warfare that were frequently employed by Greeks and Romans alike. This panel brings together five new studies representing different areas of asymmetric warfare employed by the Greeks and Romans in the ancient Mediterranean world.
