SUMMARY:The Myth of Ariadne from the Labyrinth to the Walls of Pompeii
DESCRIPTION:The Archaeological Institute of America- Dayton Society\, Miami University Department of History\, and the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum (RCCAM) at Miami University present the Archaeological Institute of America’s Peter H. von Blanckenhagen Memorial Lecture by Dr. Lillian Joyce\, Associate Professor of Art History at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. \nMost people are familiar with the story of Ariadne helping Theseus escape the Minotaur’s labyrinth\, saving him from a situation not unlike the Hunger Games. Ariadne leaves Crete by necessity as well as for her love of Theseus. En route to Athens\, they stop at the island of Naxos\, where the exhausted Ariadne falls asleep. While she slumbers\, Theseus sets sail and abandons her. Alone on the island\, she is discovered by the wine god Dionysus and his entourage. Smitten\, Dionysus makes Ariadne his consort. This story was explored by Greek writers from Homer onward\, but as it comes into the Roman world\, poets\, patrons\, and painters are more interested in the plight of Ariadne rather than the feats of Theseus. Ariadne captivates the Romans and she appears in a great variety of media: glass\, gems\, sculpture\, mosaics\, and especially Pompeiian wall painting where the complementary episodes of Ariadne’s abandonment and rescue are the single most common theme in central panel paintings. This talk will explore the strategies that artists employed to make the episodes recognizable and compelling and then expand out to examine the spaces in which Ariadne appears and think about how people experienced these images of the wronged maiden who becomes the consort of a god.

SUMMARY:Making a Spectacle of Oneself: Reflections on Mirrors and Dress in Classical Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:A joint program sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America Dayton Society\, the Miami University Department of History\, and the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum at Miami University. \nAlthough we often take them for granted\, mirrors in antiquity were powerful tools for the construction of feminine identity. Building on the idea of the mirror as speculum\, we will explore how the mirror reflected concepts of beauty\, care of the body\, economic status\, marital status\, and social role\, throughout the female life-cycle. The ritual functions of mirrors connected women to the divine\, and even determined their fate. We will also consider the post-classical “lives” of ancient mirrors\, several of which can be found in museums throughout Ohio. This public lecture is in association with HST 210S “Roman Civilization and Roman Spectacle” \nMireille Lee is the Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Ethical Stewardship of Cultural Heritage (FESCH)\, and Project Director for the Mediterranean Antiquities Provenance Research Alliance (MAPRA). A classical archaeologist by\ntraining\, she earned her AB from Occidental College\, and her MA and PhD from Bryn Mawr. She has published widely on ancient Greek art\, gender studies\, and object biography. Her first monograph\, Body\, Dress\, and Identity in Ancient Greece\, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2015. Her current book project\, on ancient Greek mirrors\, is under contract with Oxford University Press.
