“…On the ways in which the language of ships (and sailing) is used metaphorically to represent the art of poetry, and specifically the representation of the poetic process in ship construction and their ability to sail already in Homer, see . Other relevant passages for such a connection can also be found in Hesiod (with Rosen 1990), Ibycus (with Steiner 2005) and Pindar (e.g. .…”

With this book series, the Collaborative Research Centre Scales of Transformation: Human-Environmental Interaction in Prehistoric and Archaic Societies (CRC 1266) at Kiel University enables the bundled presentation of current research outcomes of the multiple aspects of socio-environmental transformations in ancient societies. As editors of this publication platform, we are pleased to be able to publish monographs with detailed basic data and comprehensive interpretations from different case studies and landscapes as well as the extensive output from numerous scientific meetings and international workshops.The book series is dedicated to the fundamental research questions of CRC 1266, dealing with transformations on different temporal, spatial and social scales, here defined as processes leading to a substantial and enduring reorganization of socio-environmental interaction patterns. What are the substantial transformations that describe human development from 15,000 years ago to the beginning of the Common Era? How did interactions between the natural environment and human populations change over time? What role did humans play as cognitive actors trying to deal with changing social and environmental conditions? Which factors triggered the transformations that led to substantial societal and economic inequality?The understanding of human practices within often intertwined social and environmental contexts is one of the most fundamental aspects of archaeological research. Moreover, in current debates, the dynamics and feedback involved in humanenvironmental relationships have become a major issue, particularly when looking at the detectable and sometimes devastating consequences of human interference with nature. Archaeology, with its long-term perspective on human societies and landscapes, is in the unique position to trace and link comparable phenomena in the past, to study human involvement with the natural environment, to investigate the impact of humans on nature, and to outline the consequences of environmental change on human societies. Modern interdisciplinary research enables us to reach beyond simplistic monocausal lines of explanation and overcome evolutionary perspectives. Looking at the period from 15,000 to 1 BCE, CRC 1266 takes a diachronic view in order to investigate transformations involved in the development of Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers, horticulturalists, early agriculturalists, early metallurgists as well as early state societies, thus covering a wide array of societal formations and environmental conditions.The volume Mediterranean Connections. How the sea links people and transforms identities integrates papers of an extraordinarily wide interdisciplinary range, rooted in multiple disciplines (Classics, Classical Archaeology, Near Eastern Archaeology, Maritime Archaeology, Greek Literature, Greek Philology, Latin Philology, Ancient history, and Theoretical Physics) and integrates a wide range of topics and methodology (poetry, history, material culture, geography, networks, and GIS ...

Wind and Time in Homeric Epic

This paper examines the relationship between wind, narrative, and time in Homer. It begins by considering Fränkel's observation that weather rarely occurs outside the similes in the Iliad, and goes on to show that wind plays a subtle but fundamental role in shaping the narratives of both the Iliad and the Odyssey."in the iliad, there are no seasons, and there is hardly any weather ... [Homer] causes storms, rain, and snow almost exclusively in the simile," wrote Hermann Fränkel in 1921. 1 But what does it mean to think of the plain at Troy as a weatherless space? How are we to read it alongside the storm-tossed and wind-swept landscapes of the similes? If wind occurs almost only in the similes of the Iliad, should we then posit some formal or temporal connection between description and the weather? To answer yes, on the grounds that the simile, like the weather, belongs to the everyday, to the descriptive, to the "background effects" of heroic action, is perhaps partially correct, but it also underplays the significance of both elements in the poem. In this paper, I investigate the role of the wind in a broad range of contexts in Homeric epic, * Sheila Murnaghan first discussed the ideas in this paper with me and helped me with its conception. Since then, it has benefited from discussions followings its presentation at the universities of Harvard, Texas, Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Berkeley. I am indebted to the audiences at each of those institutions for their questions and comments. I also thank
