15 (Verse 35)
Greek ὥρας πολλῆς feminine "an hour many."
πολλῆς does not mean "late." So how does the phrase come to mean "the hour is late"?
Centuries of very advanced scholarship!
16 (Verse 39)
Drinking Parties
The term "συμπόσια" (symposia) comes from the Greek word "συμπόσιον" (symposion), which historically refers to a social gathering or banquet in ancient Greece. Here's a breakdown:
-
Etymology: The word συμπόσιον combines:
- "σύν" (syn): meaning "together."
- "πόσις" (posis): meaning "drinking."
- Thus, a συμπόσιον originally referred to "drinking together."
-
Definition: A symposium was a formalized social event where people would gather to eat, drink, and engage in conversation, often about intellectual, philosophical, or cultural topics.
Characteristics of Ancient Greek Συμπόσια
- Structure. Symposia were typically divided into two parts:
- Deipnon (Δείπνον): The meal portion (main meal of the day, noonday meal).
- Symposium Proper: Focused on drinking and conversation.
- Entertainment:
- Included music, poetry recitation, and sometimes games.
- Philosophical debates and intellectual discussions were central in certain circles, such as those influenced by Socratic philosophy.
- Drinking:
- Wine mixed with water was consumed in moderation.
- A symposiarch (master of ceremonies) would regulate the drinking.
- Setting:
- Typically held in an andron (men’s quarters) within a house, with couches arranged for reclining.
17 (Verse 42)
The verb χορτάζω meant "to satisfy" or "to fill," particularly with food, in later Greek usage but its primary meaning is to feed, fatten cattle. Referring to feeding animals with grass or fodder (e.g., Hesiod, Works and Days 450; Aristophanes, Peace 176). In a figurative sense, it could also mean "to overwhelm" or "to satiate," whether with blows (e.g., χορτάζειν πληγαῖς) or repetitive sounds (Athenaeus 103b; Aristophanes fr. 202). See Middle Liddell, Bailly, A. (2024), Dictionnaire Grec-Français, s.v. "χορτάζω."
18 (Verse 46)
ἀποταξάμενος (middle voice): "Having separated oneself," "having renounced," or "having detached oneself." The middle voice implies that the subject is performing the action for their own benefit or in a self-directed manner. In addition to its core meaning of renouncing or separating, it can also carry the sense of "bidding farewell" or "taking leave" of something or someone, depending on context. This is consistent with the broader use of ἀποτάσσω in both active and middle forms in Greek.
19 (Verse 49)
Phantasma
φάντασμα, -ατος (τὸ): Refers to various types of appearances or phenomena, including: 1) an apparition, vision, or dream (Plato, Republic 510a; Theocritus, Idylls 21.30); 2) a mental image or representation formed by an object or thought, often implying insubstantiality (Plato, Phaedo 81d; Aristotle, De Anima 3.3.9); 3) a specter or ghost, typically a supernatural apparition (Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 710; Euripides, Hecuba 54, 95, 390; Plato, Phaedo 81d, Timaeus 71a); 4) a celestial phenomenon or extraordinary event (Aristotle, De Mundo 4.21; Dionysius of Halicarnassus, 4.62; Plutarch, Dion 2). Derived from φαντάζω (phantazo), meaning "to make visible" or "to appear."
In philosophical contexts, the word φάντασμα (phantasma) was used to describe mental images or appearances that arise in the mind, often as a result of sensory perception, imagination, or reasoning. These images or phenomena are not necessarily linked to physical reality but are the products of the mind's activity. The term was used by philosophers like Plato and Aristotle to explore concepts of perception, reality, and knowledge.
-
Plato:
- In his dialogues, φάντασμα is often used to describe mental images or appearances that arise from the interaction between the mind and the external world. Plato viewed these appearances as insubstantial and unreliable, in contrast to the true knowledge found in the realm of the Forms.
- For example, in Phaedo (81d), Plato discusses how physical appearances (which are mere φάσματα) can deceive us, as they are only reflections or shadows of the true, unchanging reality of the Forms.
- In Parmenides (166a), he uses the term to indicate the illusory nature of appearances in the material world, which can give us false beliefs about reality.
- In his dialogues, φάντασμα is often used to describe mental images or appearances that arise from the interaction between the mind and the external world. Plato viewed these appearances as insubstantial and unreliable, in contrast to the true knowledge found in the realm of the Forms.
-
Aristotle:
- Aristotle, in works like the De Anima (On the Soul), also discusses φάντασμα as mental images that are produced by the interaction of the soul with external stimuli. These images are the mind’s representations of the sensory input it receives.
- He saw these mental images as crucial to human cognition, but he differentiated between phantasms (which arise from sense perception) and actual knowledge (which arises from reason and intellectual understanding).
- For example, in De Anima (3.3.9), Aristotle argues that these images or phantasms are important in the process of memory and imagination, but they are not equivalent to true knowledge.
-
Epistemological Implications:
- In both Plato and Aristotle's philosophies, φάντασμα highlights the tension between appearance and reality. Philosophers used the concept to explore whether the images and appearances presented by the senses are trustworthy sources of knowledge or if they merely veil the truth.
- Plato, especially, emphasized that sensory experiences and their corresponding mental images (i.e., φάσματα) were deceptive, leading to ignorance if relied upon too heavily. He believed that true knowledge comes from reasoning about the Forms, not from the imperfect, changing world of appearances.
- Aristotle, while recognizing the importance of sensory images in knowledge formation, also distinguished between appearances and scientific knowledge, advocating that while our senses provide us with useful information, true knowledge comes from abstract reasoning.
