Topic: Panyasis


  
  Panyasis
Panyasis (more correctly, Panyassis) was a native of Halicarnassus, and probably the maternal uncle of Herodotus.
We do not know what impression the poems of Panyasis made upon his contemporaries and their immediate descendants, but it was probably not great, since he is not mentioned by any of the great Greek writers.
Panyasis occupied an intermediate position between the later cyclic poets and the studied efforts of Antimachus, who is stated to have been his pupil.

 Herodotus - LoveToKnow 1911
He had a brother Theodore, and an uncle or cousin Panyasis, the epic poet, a personage of so much importance that the tyrant Lygdamis, suspecting him of treasonable projects, put him to death.
Herodotus may thus have had his thoughts turned to literature as furnishing a not unsatisfactory career, and may well have been encouraged in his choice by the example of Panyasis, who had already gained a reputation by his writings when Herodotus was still an infant.
At any rate it is clear from the extant work of Herodotus that he must have devoted himself early to the literary life, and commenced that extensive course of reading which renders him one of the most instructive as well as one of the most charming of ancient writers.

His uncle, Panyasis (q.v.), was an epic poet; it was perhaps through him that Herodotus acquired the comprehensive acquaintance with early Greek literature—prose and poetry both, but especially poetry—which is so conspicuous in his writings.

As a matter of course, he could not love the ladies equally, and as his heart leaned to Aphrodite, he gave her the four months over which he had control, and thus was her companion eight months in the year.

An Assyrian creation-legend tablet compiled ca 650 BCE from far older sources gives: Akkadian: Mul-Lugal, Babylonian-Assyrian: Kakkab Sarru - "The Constellation of the King" asso-ciated with Gilgames sarru gitmalu dainu Annunaki "Gilgamesh, giant king, Judge of the Masters-of-the-Underworld." To early Greek astronomers he was Engonasi (or Engonasin), The Kneeler, or Eidolon, Phantom.
Even though Aratus (315-245 BC) calls him "The Kneeler;" the poet Avienus recorded that Panyasis of Halicarnassos (5th century BCE) called the Kneeler "Hera-kles", so the association with Hercules goes back at least that far.
Both Herakles and Gilgamesh were often depicted kneeling on one knee, and both were famous for their travels and adventures; Herakles was always shown with his club and lion-skin, Gilgamesh holding a lion.
