The Amarna period of Egyptian history began during the reign of the pharaoh Amenhotep III nearly 3,400 years ago. This was a period of tremendous artistic and architectural achievement. The famous Colossi of Memnon were built, wonderful additions were made to the temples at Luxor and Karnak, and seeds were sown for a monotheistic religion.

Upon the death of Amenhotep III, his son Amenhotep IV became pharaon of Egypt. This "heretic king" changed his name to Akhenaten, quickly abandoned the pantheon of Egyptian gods and declared the sun-god, Aten, to be the only god. He and his queen, Nefertiti, built a new city, known as Akhetaten (Horizon of the Aten) at the present site of Tell el-Amarna. From there he ruled all Egypt and directed the worship of his one god, Aten.

Following the death of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun (who was born Tutankh-aten, and is believed by a great many Egyptologists to have been Akhenaten's son), returned the religious capital of Egypt to Thebes. The monuments of the "heretic king" were destroyed and the memory of his reign was erased. But the eighteen year reign of Akhenaten had touched upon a religious philosophy and an artistic style that still echoes today.

The Amarna Research Foundation is dedicated exclusively to the advancement of interest and research in the this fascinating slice of ancient history.

The Center for Hellenic Studies is pleased to announce the online publication of Masterpieces of Metonymy: From Ancient Greek Times to Now, by Gregory Nagy on the CHS website. The work will soon be available for purchase in print through Harvard University Press.
 
In Masterpieces of Metonymy, Gregory Nagy analyzes metonymy as a mental process that complements metaphor. If metaphor is a substitution of something unfamilar for something familiar, then metonymy can be seen as a connecting of something familiar with something else that is already familiar. Applying this formulation, Nagy offers close readings of over one hundred examples of metonymy as it comes to life in the verbal and the visual arts of Greek culture, as well as in the arts of other cultures. Though it is debatable whether all the selected examples really qualify as masterpieces, what they all have in common is their potential for artistic greatness. A close reading of the verbal and the visual evidence, Nagy argues, leads to a fuller appreciation of this greatness. 


Gregory Nagy is the Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard University, and is the Director of the Center for Hellenic Studies, Washington, DC. In his publications, he has pioneered an approach to Greek literature that integrates diachronic and synchronic perspectives. His books include The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours (Harvard University Press, 2013), available as an epub for download on the CHS website and through the MOOC, The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours, ran by HarvardX; Pindar’s Homer: The Lyric Possession of an Epic Past (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1990), Poetry as Performance: Homer and Beyond (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), Homeric Questions (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1996), Homeric Responses (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2003), Homer’s Text and Language (University of Illinois Press 2004), Homer the Classic (Harvard University Press, online 2008, print 2009), and Homer the Preclassic (University of California Press 2010). He co-edited with Stephen A. Mitchell the 40th anniversary second edition of Albert Lord’s The Singer of Tales (Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature vol. 24; Harvard University Press, 2000), co-authoring with Mitchell the new Introduction, pp. vii-xxix.

Antesteria. Debates de Historia Antigua surge como plasmación de algunas de las aportaciones más brillantes presentadas, defendidas y debatidas a lo largo de los Encuentros de Jóvenes Investigadores de Historia Antigua de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Surge por tanto con el fin primordial de difundir los resultados de estas investigaciones para contribuir al desarrollo de la ciencia histórica y a la promoción de los jóvenes investigadores que en ella se inician o dan sus primeros pasos.

La agrupación de Jóvenes Investigadores de Historia Antigua de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid está constituida por los becarios y antiguos becarios del Departamento de Historia Antigua de dicha universidad, y tiene como objetivo principal el intercambio, la colaboración y el acercamiento, a nivel académico pero también personal, en aras de fomentar un clima de desarrollo científico de calidad y de convivencia cordial y enriquecedora.

Dentro de esta agrupación, la principal actividad desarrollada ha sido la organización y celebración de los Encuentros de Jóvenes Investigadores en Historia Antigua, unas Jornadas de Investigación anuales abiertas a la participación de todos los jóvenes investigadores predoctorales y postdoctorales de las distintas universidades y centros de investigación españoles y extranjeros, y cuyo espíritu no es muy distinto del que anima a la propia agrupación: crear un lugar de encuentro e intercambio científico que permita a los investigadores que están desarrollando sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la investigación obtener una amplia perspectiva de los ámbitos de estudio más en boga y conocer a las personas que puedan estar desarrollando trabajos cercanos o conectados con los suyos. Todo lo cual se logra mediante la generación de un foro en el que cada investigador puede exponer brevemente su objeto de estudio o sus líneas de investigación, pero en el que los debates y coloquios distendidos pero con un alto nivel científico adquieren un papel protagonista.

This site represents a version of the Ingo Gildenhard's book, Cicero, Against Verres, 2.1.53–86(Cambridge, UK: Open Book Publishers, 2011), produced with the kind cooperation of Open Book Publishers and Professor Gildenhard. The DCC edition contributes four new features:

• audio recordings of the Latin text as performed by Jonathan Rockey
• running vocabulary lists created by Derek Frymark
• links to the Pleiades Gazetteer and Graph of Ancient Places
• macrons on the Latin text

The vocabulary lists employ the normal DCC policy of glossing only those words that are not included in the DCC Core Latin Vocabulary (which represents the thousand most common words in Latin). The dictionary entries used in the running lists come from the back of Francis Kelsey’s Select Orations and Letters of Cicero, thirteenth edition (Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1909), with supplements as needed. This was meant to ensure that Ciceronian definitions are present and easily found. Another crucial ingredient in the creation of the vocabulary lists was data provided by Dominique Longrée of the research group Laboratoire d'Analyse Statistique des Langues Anciennes (LASLA) at the University of Liège, Belgium. LASLA provided a fully lemmatized Latin text, that is, a text in which each word form is attached to a specific dictionary head word, as determined by a human being, not a machine. The joining of the LASLA data with Kelsey's dictionary—a marriage deftly brokered by Derek Frymark—ensured that the lists identify and describe the words being glossed with a very high degree of accuracy and relevance.

The CHS team is very pleased to announce the online publication of Black Doves Speak: Herodotus and the Languages of Barbarians, by Rosaria Vignolo Munson on the CHS website. (available

for purchase in print through Harvard University Press).
In Greek thought, barbaroi are utterers of unintelligible or inarticulate sounds. What importance does the text of

Herodotus’s Histories attribute to language as a criterion of ethnic identity? The answer to this question illuminates the empirical foundations of Herodotus’s pluralistic worldview. The first translator of cultures also translates, describes, and evaluates foreign speech to a degree unparalleled by other Greek ancient authors. For Herodotus, language is an area of interesting but surprisingly unproblematic difference, which he offers to his audience as a model for coming to terms in a neutral way with other, more emotionally charged, cultural differences.

Rosaria Munson is Professor of Classics at Swarthmore College.

The Ur Archaeology Project has been formed to investigate an ancient settlement in southern Iraq, the birthplace of civilization. It combines up-to-date British practice with the excellent local knowledge of Iraqi experts. The directors worked in Iraq up until the later years of Saddam’s rule, when operating conditions finally became impossible, and are delighted to be back.

Our institutional backing comes from Iraq’s State Board for Antiquities and Heritage, the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, and the University of Manchester.

Members of our team have extensive experience in British archaeology, and most have also worked in Middle Eastern countries, and so are familiar with the conditions and materials we are dealing with.

Experts in environmental studies are drawn from the Universities of York and Liverpool as well as Manchester, giving us access to a wealth of experience in collection, analysis and interpretation.

Field-work at our chosen site, Tell Khaiber, is carried out annually each spring, followed by post-excavation, research and publication work over the rest of the year
