Topic: Kypria


  
  Kypria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The story of the Kypria comes chronologically at the beginning of the Epic Cycle, and is followed by that of the Iliad.
The stories contained in the Kypria are much earlier than that, however, and the same problems of dating oral traditions associated with the Homeric epics also apply to the Kypria.
The Kypria was considered to be a lesser work than Homer's two masterpieces: Aristotle criticised it for its lack of narrative cohesion and focus.

 "Kyprias, Poet of the Iliaka"
A second issue to address is whether the inscription is evidence for an alternative version of the Kypria, and by implication, evidence for multiformity in the Kypria tradition.
Of course the name "Kyprias" could have resulted from textual confusion about the title "Kypria" and the adjective "Kyprios;" nonetheless the inscription and the testimony of Demodamas seem to confirm that Kyprias was regarded in Halikarnassos as a local poet.
Kyprias is a probably a relatively late invention, but the Iliaka of the inscription is probably the Kypria.

Its presence is a strong one, to judge from the continuous interest and growing response, year by year, of the public to the events hosted within the framework of the Festival.
This indisputably confirms the fact that the "KYPRIA" has become established in the conscience of our people and is now considered to be the most important festival on the island, offering a variety of cultural events of a high standard.
This, of course, is not a reason for complacency, since there is always scope for further improvement and upgrading the quality of the Festival with regard to both its conception and further course and also the character of the events which are hosted in its program.

 Trojan War cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In modern scholarship the study of the historical and literary relationship between the two Homeric epics and the rest of the cycle is called Neoanalysis.
The eleven books of the Kypria recount the events leading up to the Trojan War and the first nine years of the conflict, especially the judgement of Paris.
The Iliad accredited to Homer picks up after the Cypria and focuses on Achilles and his rage against first king Agamemnon and then the Trojan prince Hector.

 Kypris   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
To distinguish between (a) a tradition appearing in both poems and (b) the imitation of the Iliad in the Kypria, is however rarely possible.
Either then the Iliad was composed to fill the gap between the Kypria and the Aithiopis, or Kypria and Aithiopis were composed to introduce and to continue the Iliad.
The former alternative conflicts with the clear ancient testimony that the authors of the cyclic poems were Homer's followers, and must surely be rejected, if any credence is to be given to the Proklan summaries.

 Ross Scaife, ``The Kypria and its Early Reception''   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The literary study of the Kypria includes a provisional reconstruction followed by a defense of the poem against many critics, beginning with Aristotle, who have found it tediously linear and unsophisticated.
The influence of the Kypria on the iconography of Greek art, especially pronounced considering the greater overall prestige of the Iliad and the Odyssey, is explained on the basis of the themes and purposes of the cyclic poem.
First, the Kypria was so often translated into the visual medium because of the high number of potentially interesting subjects which it offered to artists.

Announcing the festival, Ioannides said the advent of the year 2000 marks nine years since the "Kypria" International Festival was established as the first and most important cultural event on the island.
It is organised annually by the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture during September and October and offers an extravaganza of cultural events encompassing ballet, theatre, concerts, cinema and art exhibitions with distinguished personalities from Cyprus and abroad.
In the music field, "Kypria '99" will host Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" by the Collegium Musicum of Bonn University with conductor Walter Mik, the Romanian National Radio Orchestra with concertmaster, Kypros Markou and Soloist, Eugene Sarbu and the Oxford "Philomusica Orchestra" with music director Marios Papadopoulos.

 Troy VII and the Historicity of the Trojan War
Another epic, the Kypria, dealt with the events leading up to the arrival of the Greek forces at Troy at the beginning of the ten-year siege.
Further evidence suggesting that such an alternate version of the Trojan War story, along the lines of the Teuthrania episode in the Kypria, did in fact exist can be cited.
For example, there is an early variant of the story of Telephos according to which he was born in Troy.

It was certainly known to the vase painters of the heyday of Athenian ceramics, and many of the stories told in the Kypria were represented on vases.

 Palamedes
Homer did not know this story, which came out probably from the Kypria epos and from the tragedies of Aischylos, Sofokles and Euripides, which unfortunately got lost.
But even so, the ancient authors mentioned often Palamedes' wisdom, Apollodoros referred to us about his parents and Pausanias is giving informations about Palamedes' death.
He knew from reading the Kypria, "that it was Diomedes and Odysseus, who killed him." He learnt about Palamedes also from the picture of Polygnotos from the 5th century BCE, on which the scene with Palamedes and Thersites playing the game of dice, (which Palamedes invented) was drown.

A recent inscription from Bodrum refers to the poet Kyprias as the composer of "Iliaka." My interest is not in the historicity of Kyprias but rather in his function as a poetic persona of Halikarnassos.
Kyprias was probably a mythical figure engendered by Halikarnassian interest in the Kypria.

The programming incorporates ballet, opera, cinema, art, theatre and music, performed by distinguished artists from Cyprus and around the world.
The festival is particularly important for the Greek-Cypriots on the island - Kypria means Cypriots and the event is based on the traditions and authenticity of Cyprus and its inhabitants.
The festivities make their way from town to town (this can vary each year), but usually take place in Lefkosia (or Nicosia) and Limassol.

 Kypria * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
The Kypria; one of the fragmentary remains of the Epic Cycle which elaborates on the Trojan War and its aftermath; Kypria is another name for the goddess of Love, Aphrodite and the poem revolves around her.
The poem was originally in eleven books but all that remain are twenty two fragments; the author of the Kypria is alternately given as Homer, Stasinus and Hegesias; a brief narrative about the Trojan War is augmented by a series of disjointed facts and sometimes contradictory statements regarding such characters as Helen, Theseus and Nemesis.
For the complete translations of the Epic Cycle I recommend the Loeb Classical Library volume 57, ISBN 0674990633; you can sometimes find this book at the library or you can order it from the Book Shop on this site which is linked to Amazon.com.

Also, throughout the book Woodford seems reticent to discuss the complicated issue of poetic transmission and its transformation into image.
Not until page 55 and the story of Troilos is the Kypria defined, though this significant work from the Epic Cycle was the source for much that the author describes in Chapters One and Two.
Had Woodford included literary sources in the form of footnotes throughout the text, the book would have been quite useful as a valuable reference for the complicated transmission of myth into images.

Specifically, Nestor’s categorization of epic subject-matter reveals awareness of an at least loosely-defined set of mutually referential Trojan war epics.
Further, Nestor connects his Nostoi to a divine apparatus in a manner that parallels the control that the gods are made to exercise over the main narratives of the Odyssey, Iliad, and non-Homeric Kypria.
Nestor’s step-by-step creation of an epic plot thus re-enacts one of the fundamental tasks faced by the composer of the Odyssey, that of relating Odysseus’ story to the larger epic tradition, and does so in a way that parallels the composition of a full-scale epic.

Its theft by Odysseus and Diomedes is told in the Kypria, but Plutarch tells of efforts to obtain it by magic.
These efforts may be equated with rape and seduction, but the equation is made even more explicit by the tradition of the rape of Kassandra at the altar of the Palladion.
