	Interpretatio graeca - Definition, explanation
		Interpretatio graeca is a Latin term for the common tendency of ancient Greek writers to equate foreign divinities to members of their own pantheon.
		Where the Romans had no equivalent figure, they did not hesitate to add foreign deities to their pantheon.
		Sometimes they would change the name: when Cybele was adopted from the Phrygians (the Greeks had previously interpreted her as Rhea), she was called Magna Mater deorum Idaea.

	H.D. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early 1920s, H.D. started to write three projected cycles of novels.
		The first of these, Magna Graeca, consisted of Palimpsest (1921) and Hedylus (1928).
		These novels use their classical settings to explore the poetic vocation, particularly as it applies to women in a patriarchal literary culture.

		In the ancient world, Capo Vaticano in the south of Italy was part of the “Magna Graeca” and well-known as a sacred place throughout the area influenced by the Greeks.
		Its origins, in fact, go back to the seventh century B.C. and it was, together with Crotone and Sibari, one of the most important colonies of Magna Graecia.
		Sibari was a city of Magna Graecia on the Gulf of Taranto, between the rivers Crathis (Crati) and Sybaris (Coscile), which now meet about 5 km from the sea, but in ancient times had independent mouths.

	Introduction to the Pythagoreans
		Because of the Persian domination, philosophy moves from Ionia to the coasts of Magna Graeca, southern Italy and Sicily -- to form what Aristotle calls the Italian school.
		He apparently came from the island of Samos, settled in Croton (Magna Graeca).
		Several journeys are attributed to him, including one to Persia where he is said to have met the Magus Zaratas [= Zoroaster/Zarathustra].

		No doubt, therefore, Melissus grew up with the Pythagorean philosophy, together with the tradition of the Ionian natural philosophies, and yet it is interesting that he came all the way from the Asia Minor to Elea in Southern Italy to study under Parmenides.
		This may indicate that the Eleatic school of philosophy was quite widely known in the Magna Graeca because of its originality and its revolutionary content.
		At that time communication networks must work quite well, since it is said that Parmenides had been influenced by the philosophy of Samos through Xenophanes and Ameinias and yet Parmenides' philosophy was reexported back to Samos by Melissus.

		The history of Greek philosophy started from Ionia in the Asia Minor, which was the closest to and was most easily influenced by Persia (the cultural inheritance of the Mesopotamia).
		Due to Persian military expansions, the Ionian intellectuals and "technocrats" had to take the refuge to the rest of Magna Graeca, mainly to Southern Italy.
		By traveling widely, almost all sophists were well acquainted with various cultures not only among Magna Graeca, but also other civilizations than Greek in terms of legal systems, political structures, languages, mores, customs, etc. This awareness of pluralism of the culture made them cultural relativists and those of values.

		We conclude with discussions of the social and psychological functions of festivals, in the context of the ideas of “just excess” and “recovered closeness”, as articulated by Professor Philippe Borgeaud in his book “The Cult of Pan in Ancient Greece” (The University of Chicago Press, 1988).
		Although Calabria and Sicily were integral parts of Magna Graecia, Apulia and the safe haven of Taranto had a unique place in the mix.
		Rome always planned to dominate Magna Graecia, and from 170 B.C.E. its main line of conquest, Via Apia, was built from Rome to Brindisi.

		I am not aware of another contemporary work of scholarship in ancient philosophy that covers such a vast amount of material.
		The first two chapters tell the familiar story of the earliest development of ancient Greek philosophy in Ionia and then in Magna Graeca.
		There is here a welcome and illuminating attempt to integrate the understanding of the theory of ancient medicine, especially that contained in the Hippocratic treatises, with the broader currents of naturalistic speculation.

		And of course, the Sibyl at Cumae, who was thought to be a prophetess of Apollo as was the Oracle of Delphi.
		I have to say this is the only actually Roman oracle I have read of, but as Cumae was on the Campanian coast, and no doubt influenced in its history/beliefs by the Greek colonists of Magna Graeca, the Sibyl herself was probably a 'spin-off' of the Delphian oracle.
		Cumae wasn't just influenced by the Greeks, it was the oldest of the Greek colonies in Italy; founded by Chalcidian and Eretrian Greeks from Euboea ~8th Century BC.

	APA Photo Abstract 2001
		This paper explores two instances of the reception of Trojan War myth in fourth-century Magna Graeca and attempts to show that even at this “late” date painters depict unique interpretations of the heroic tradition, often with unexpected emphases.
		One iconographical detail is startling: Patroklos is depicted sitting apart, his hands wrapped around his knee, facing right.
		In sum, interpretations of heroic myth by ancient painters of any period can contribute much to our understanding of the Homeric tradition.

		The discussion also takes for granted that something not very different from the Modern Greek pronunciation became current in Alexandria (the capital of ancient learning well before the time of Christ) and Palestine by the time of Jesus, though not till later in Athens.
		Many dialects emerged during the long Turkocracy or Turkokratía in the Balkans and Greek islands (not overrun by the Slavs like mainland Greece) as well as Magna Graeca in the South of the Italian peninsula (where Greek had a Doric lineage).
		Very little was printed during the hegemony of the Turkish Muslims (given Turkish prohibitions on printing Greek religious works and the ignorance of most of the clergy and hierarchs in Constantinople).

	OUTLINE OF EVIDENCE & ARGUMENT RELATING TO WOMEN'S RELIGIOUS ROLES IN THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD:
		The surviving literature of the Greek-speaking cultures describes as the ideal norm the woman who worked in the home, helped manage her husband's affairs, and was secluded away in her house from all public contact with men who were not her immediate relations.
		This picture is constant in traditional Greek homelands (Magna Graeca, the Greek mainland and islands, Asia Minor) from a very ancient time until after the first century of this era.
		Though Ceres had originally been served by male priests, her ministers were now exclusively women, especially ones taken from Magna Graeca.
