Such representations can be dynamic, as in verbal metaphors, mythologemes, e.g. the smallest units of a narration or sentence which are considered \u2018mythological\u2019, or in rituals but also static as in nominal compounds and (non-finite) sentences, in emblematic representations or symbols\/motifs which again correspond to the various kinds of personalization or roles in (ritual) actions. In short, metaphors and myths mediate between known and unknown reality. For the purpose of this paper we distinguish between mytheme and its elements referring to myths independent of their modes of representation. Mythologeme in contrast is perceived as a unit of a narrated myth. Complex myths consist of sequences of simple mythemes; their mythological quality being linked to their structural elements.<br>It will be argued that in all sorts of transmedial representation of myths the \u2018mythological\u2019 qualities are intrinsically linked to the structural element of a mytheme for which metaphors often play a salient role.<br>These hypotheses will be elaborated on two examples: 1) It will be shown that the metaphorical use of the \u201cshepherd\u201d and the \u201ctop dog\u201d &gt; \u201chero\u201d became structural element of mythemes by which \u2018real\u2019 political and military actions could not only be understood but also framed and restrained. 2) It will next be outlined how and why the mundane activity of \u201cpouring out water\u201d was metaphorically used to understand the natural world and consequently developed a hyper-mytheme generating a set of diverse myths.<br>We conclude that metaphors and myths are not only means of explanation of the reality but at the same time means to create new forms of knowledge.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t15.05\u201315.40<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9803-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9803-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9803-collapse\"><strong>Vladimir Emelianov<\/strong> (St.Petersburg State University):\u00a0Mesopotamian Epic Tradition and the Cultic Calendar<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9803-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9803-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">The paper will examine the epic texts of ancient Mesopotamia in their correlation with explanatory texts and menologies.

Despite the epic texts found in the Hittite archives are often labeled to be foreign or translated literature, the Hittite scribes worked a lot to adapt them to their own worldview. The paper will discuss the temporal aspect of these texts to understand the peculiarities of the Hittite time perception. These texts show little attention to small units of time like day. The only mention of the seven-day-term in the <i>Song of Release<\/i> can be the feature of Syrian and not Hittite culture. The positive distinction of these texts from their analogues in the rest of the Ancient Near East is the detailed description of the multi-month processes like gestation that can find its counterpart in the ritual texts. The <i>Song of Going Forth <\/i>have shown the limits of time in the Hittite worldview and gave life to the vivid discussion about how long were the nine days of kingship for the primeval gods. The detailed analysis of all time periods mentioned in the Hittite mythological and epic texts shows that the Hittites had no passion to the great numbers measuring their real or mythological past even with the availability of tools for it, in contrast with other Ancient Near Eastern and Indo-European traditions. These features of time perception in the Hittite myth and epic fit well to our knowledge of the Hittite calendar, based on the periods of one month and of one or several years.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t16.15\u201316.30 Pause\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t16.30\u201317.05\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc980d-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc980d-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc980d-collapse\"><strong>Patrick Huang<\/strong> (University of London): Revisiting Musical Mythology: The Legend of Pythagorean Hammers and its Tie to the Orient<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc980d-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc980d-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">The Pythagorean Hammer is a famous myth of the discovery of music theory, depicted by Nicomachus in his <em>Enchiridion harmonices <\/em>around 2nd century A.D.

However, a far earlier version can be traced to a myth of Rhea Kybele, the Phrygian goddess conflated by two deities, with an equivalent deity called Kumbaba in Hittite mythology. The term Kumbaba sounds strangely similar to the Akkadian Humbaba in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and its etymological origin may further show clues to the meteorite worship in Mesopotamia. In my presentation, I will briefly explain the detailed story of Pythagorean Hammer, followed by a comparison with the myth of Rhea Kybele, Kumbaba and some relevant evidence, in order to trace its variation and dissemination. Furthermore, I will reassess several possible models about the Oriental influence of Ancient Greek, in order to examine the most coincident model in the case of Pythagorean Hammer.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t17.05\u201317.40<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9813-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9813-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9813-collapse\"><strong>Nina V.

Thanks to Aeschylus, who had turned to the Mycenaean topography and stated the presence of the city\u2019s seven gates, Thebes appeared as a city with a specific spatial organization. Despite the fact that ancient authors list the names of these gates (albeit different) and try to locate them, the issue of whether the city had exactly seven gates still causes controversy among researchers.<br>The epithet \u201cseven-gated\u201d Thebes, known since the creation of Homer\u2019s <em>Odyssey <\/em>(11.260\u20135), reflects the Kadmeia\u2019s real fortification whose traces date back to the Mycenaean times. Unlike Schober and Symeonoglou, we believe that the Mycenaean Thebes could indeed have seven gates and we will try to prove this through the example of the archaeological research, as well as the arguments taking into account the topography and the functions of the fortifications. We can also find confirmation in some later literary sources which directly connect the fortification of the Kadmeia with the monuments of the Mycenaean period. For instance, Aeschylus (Sept. 526\u2013528) associates the Kadmeia Northern Gate with the Amphion Hill, which, in our opinion, reflects the development of urban space in the Archaic period and the further communication of ancient cultural meanings linked with topography into the classical period.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t11.05\u201311.40<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9865-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9865-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9865-collapse\"><strong>Chiara Caleo<\/strong> (University of Pisa): Tanagra Sarcophagi<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9865-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9865-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">During the last period of the Mycenaean era, about 1200 BCE, in a secluded place in Boeotia called Tanagra, clay sarcophagi began to be produced, decorated with excruciating scenes of grief. They are the last amazing testimony of the long Mycenaean art tradition and give evidence of the different moments of the funeral ritual, such as female mourning, the \u201cprothesis\u201d (or the exposure of the dead), the processions of the men and the rites in honor of the dead. From the iconographic analysis of the Tanagra \u201clarnakes\u201d it is possible to identify some particular rites belonging to the funeral ritual and find them almost unchanged in some episodes of the <em>Iliad<\/em> (e.g. the funerals of Patroclus).<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t11.40\u201312.15\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9868-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9868-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9868-collapse\"><strong>Elo-Mall Toomet<\/strong> (University of Tartu): The Myths of Argos: Local Cults and Early Epic Poetry<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9868-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9868-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">The Argive plain in the Peloponnese in southern Greece is home to several characters, both of the mortal and immortal kind, who are crucially important to ancient Greek myth.

There are passing mentions of some of the most important shrines\u2014Dodona, Delos, Delphi\u2014but no hero leaves a trace at them. The heroes do not create institutions, build monuments, or make dedications. This is probably not only the result of their seeking a Panhellenic audience, but reflects the epic\u2019s insistence on its own importance as the only real transmitter of memory. The very lack of such information, however, along with the piety of most of the heroes, made them readily available for use by later Greeks. <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t15.35\u201316.10\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9874-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9874-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9874-collapse\"><strong>Ronald Blankenborg<\/strong> (Radboud University Nijmegen): The Shape of Wisdom: The Situational Context of the Paroemiac<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9874-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9874-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">In this paper I will argue that the close relation between the Greek proverbial or wisdom saying and its metrical shape is a guarantee for its recognition and identification in an otherwise differently shaped metrical environment. Or to turn things around, I argue that the demarcation of the metrical paroemiac shape is suggestive of the audience\u2019s interpretation of the speech act as a wisdom saying.\u00a0<br>From the point of view of metrics, paroemiacs are indebted to both dactylic shapes and anapaestic shapes. The paroemiac itself may be analysed starting from either metrical prototype. In metrical environments that are sensitive to epiploke like the epic dactylic hexameter, metarrhythmisis allows for the single verse to be interpreted as ending in a paroemiac. This possibility is used extensively to make epic verses end in proverbial sayings, especially by Hesiod in his <em>Works and Days<\/em>. The capacity of the hexametric line to make the paroemiac recognisable is best explained, I argue, in terms of situational context: the idiosyncratic combination of metrical form and semi-religious content. <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t16.10\u201316.25 Pause\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t16.25\u201317.00\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9878-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9878-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9878-collapse\"><strong>Martin Steinr\u00fcck<\/strong> (Fribourg), The Ways of the Song: Homeric Model-Formula and Sound Repetition<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9878-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9878-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">Abstract forthcoming<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t17.00\u201317.35\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc987b-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc987b-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc987b-collapse\"><strong>Janika P\u00e4ll<\/strong> (University of Tartu): Formulas on the Way from Homeric Epic to Christian Biblical Epic: Example of Zeus<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc987b-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc987b-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">The epithets of Zeus, reflecting his position as a weather-god and the principal deity have been studied much, mostly regarding their original Greek and comparative Indo-European context.

My aim is to demonstrate how and which of these epithets in Greek and Early Modern Biblical epics could have resulted from the influence of Biblical Judaeo-Christian literature, from Christian poetry of Late Antiquity and Church Fathers, or from humanist re-appraisal of Homer and Hesiod. Focusing on Christian poets of late antiquity, I\u2019ll pose (and hopefully answer) the question: whether and how could the context in which these poets lived (i.e. the climate and geography of the Mediterranean region) have influenced the transmission of the epithets of pagan god(s) from pagan into Christian poetry.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t17.35\u201318.10\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9880-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9880-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9880-collapse\"><strong>Mait K\u00f5iv<\/strong> (University of Tartu): Homeric Question, the \u201cAge of Homer\u201d and the \u201cHomeric Society\u201d<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9880-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9880-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">There is no agreement on how and when the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed. Their composition, or the final fixation of the text, has been dated from the ninth to the sixth century BC while the \u201cevolutionary model\u201d suggested by Gregory Nagy and his school assumes a fluidity of the text until the Hellenistic period or even later. This uncertainty gives us no firm basis for specifying the \u201cAge of Homer\u201d as a more or less exactly and narrowly define period of time. Despite this, the historians attempting to reconstruct the socio-political organisation of the early Greece generally stick to the late eighth (and early seventh) century dating of the poems and consider the society described in the epics \u2013 the \u201cHomeric society\u201d \u2013 as a more or less adequate description of the realities of the of the eighth century and\/or of the preceding Early Iron Age. The present paper points out the discord between the discussion of the Homeric question and the usual contextualisation of the \u201cHomeric society\u201d, and explores the implications of the different dating of Homer for the interpretation of the society described in the epics.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>SUNDAY, 18 July 2021<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>10.00\u201311.00 [<a data-url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sFQOGWWGF-s\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sFQOGWWGF-s\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">RECORDING<\/a>]<br><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9882-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9882-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9882-collapse\">Keynote 3.\u00a0Christoph Levin\u00a0(University of M\u00fcnchen):\u00a0In Search of a Hebrew National Epic<\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <div id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9882-collapse\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-69dc029cc9882-heading\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-body\">No abstract available.<strong><\/strong><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t11.00\u201311.35\u00a0<br><\/p><div class=\"accordion mb-3\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-item accordion-item--white\">\n        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-69dc029cc9884-heading\">\n            <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-69dc029cc9884-collapse\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69dc029cc9884-collapse\"><strong>Urmas N\u00f5mmik<\/strong> (Tartu), Ancestral Narratives from Ancient Israel \u2013 Remnants of a Lost Epic?

For this end, he connected Roman history with the Homeric and therefore Greek history via the main protagonist Aeneas. Aeneas follows the gods\u2019 instructions most of the time, respects divine rules, establishes the Roman mores and is therefore often referred to as <em>pius<\/em>. By using different narrative strategies, Virgil bridges the gap from the times of the mythological foundation to his own present. For example, the parade of the future heroes of Rome in book VI allows him to stabilize and endorse contemporary political conditions. In other words, the epic aims to support the ruling political party in Virgil\u2019s own time by the creation of a Roman myth.<br>In stark contrast to Virgil, Lucan\u2019s <em>Bellum civile <\/em>deals with civil war and the downfall of Rome. There is no positively described hero, and the protagonist Caesar is pictured as outrageous and disrespectful to humans and gods (<em>impius<\/em>), which makes him the complete opposite of the <em>pius<\/em> Aeneas. Furthermore, the epic is characterised by extremely cruel descriptions and a negative view of history which leaves the reader with the impression that the destruction of Rome is an unavoidable fact.<br>While Virgil constructed the Roman myth, Lucan took it up and deconstructed it. He demonstrates a detailed knowledge of Virgil\u2019s text and reverses important characteristics of his predecessor\u2019s work. For instance, book VI of the <em>Bellum civile<\/em>, which structurally corresponds to Aeneas\u2019 Katabasis, deals with a witch, Erictho, and necromantic incantation. There are several other examples showing that Lucan intentionally takes up aspects from the Aeneid and reverses them. To sum up, Lucan uses narrative strategies typical for the epic tradition and inverts them. My presentation will focus on a detailed comparison of those passages, which will lead to a better understanding of Lucan\u2019s interpretation of the Roman myth by identifying the main aims of Lucan\u2019s attack on it.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>\n\t12.25\u201313.00 [NB!

Ovidius Naso (<em>Metamorphoses<\/em>, VIII, 628\u2013730), in fact reflects the primeval belief in eternal life, imagining and representing the dead in the form of the tree. We can observe the reflection of this legend, i.e. of this belief of the afterlife, much later on the funerary monuments of Roman times in Upper Macedonia (spread across the Middle Axios valley, present day Vardar River), showing the deceased in the form of a tree (here a pine-tree, according to the funeral practice). The reason for this survival in Macedonia can be found in the recalled tradition of migration of the Brygians from Macedonia to Asia Minor, where they were known as the Phrygians in the historic times (Herodotus, Strabo, Plinius). These tombstones corroborate the historicity of the migration of the Brygians, revealing the Brygian substrate in the ethno-genesis of the ancient Macedonians. An impetus to revive these beliefs shared by Macedonians and Phrygians was the increase of trade contacts between the Balkans and Asia Minor during the Roman imperial period.

These texts can be composed either in verse or in prose, they can be traditionally inherited and often ascribed to a legendary author like Sin-leqi-unnini in Mesopotamia, Moses for the Jews or Homer in Greece, or composed by a particular historical person like Virgil in Rome. As crucial components of their cultures, they confirm the collective identity, and both reflect and shape the attitudes of the people and their way of life.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSuch epic texts have enormous value for understanding the societies producing them. They usually relate some legendary events in a reputedly distant past, and are strongly linked to religion and mythology. On the other hand, they reflect the social relations and ideologies of the time of their composition, or of the period of the oral transmission before achieving the final literary form. The consequent multivalence, and the interplay between tradition and innovation, make a proper reading of the information they transmit highly complex and debatable. To what extent were these texts traditional and which role, if any, has a single \u2018genius\u2019 in their composition? To what extent did they transmit the traditional religious understandings or shape and transform these?
