89. Classical Mythology In American Life And Literature To 1855
    Classical mythology in american Life and Literature to 1855 StepsToward Democratization. This paper was presented at a conference  
    http://www.fivecolleges.edu/mcleary/cmal.html
    
    Extractions: This paper was presented at a conference, "America's Classical Greece," which took place at Boston University, November 12-13, 1993. It was the Third Conference of the International Research and Publication Project, "The Classical Tradition and the Americas," and was sponsored by the Institute for the Classical Tradition, Boston University, the ANRW Research Center, Boston University, and Arbeitsstelle ANRW, University of Tubingen. I have limited my subject today to one facet of classical mythology in Americaits evolution from a specialized body of knowledge only for Greek and Latin initiates into a field of general interest open to all who could read English. I have chosen the word "democratize" to describe this process rather than "popularize," because the former includes the latter, and adds an ethical dimension; to democratize means not only to make something popularly available, but to make it work for social equality and against usurpation by power and wealth. I want particularly to investigate the opening-up of mythology's mysteries to people of both sexes who did not go to secondary school and college, and to women in particularthat is, the groups which did not until the nineteenth century have access to classical languages. That people of color, including African-American slaves, are included here goes without saying. My subject will not includeexcept in necessary references-the teaching of classical mythology in grammar schools and colleges before 1855, as until just a few decades before that date secondary and higher levels of schooling did not include the groups which I have just mentioned. And I will not trace references to classical mythology in belles lettres, as this field, too, was not open to alla major reason, in fact, being the copious mythologicaland other classicalcontent. This, in fact, was the very problem which, in 1855, Thomas Bulfinch (1796-1867), a Harvard-educated Bostonian and civic-minded part-time writer, addressed in his book

    Extractions: Aadizookaan means (in Anishinaabemowin , or Ojibwe language) "a traditional story", what anthros and others seem to like calling legends or myths. These are or in their original, were often sacred. Those represnt large themes of human existence: where we came from, how we should live, reconcilliation to the tragedies of life, thankfulness There are smaller stories: teaching, humorous, answering "Why?" questions about natural phenomena and behavior. Finally, traditional indigenous peoples had no TV, no books; stories were entertainment, too. TO THOSE WHO TRANSCRIBE NATIVE MYTHS: Our myths appear popular as NuAge web page fillers. Native myths, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment. It is important that you cite the source from which you transcribed it, the collector or non-Indian reteller-translator of the myth, and if given, the original teller. And, of course, the tribe. I think Native myths are meaningless removed from cultural context, but if there is any educational value to them, they must be identified with a specific people, time, and place. Some retellers are reliable. Others sanitize and restructure stories, making them worthless as a means to learn about a culture a kind of racism, where retellers believe Native myths (which are often owned by specific individuals or families) are merely primitive raw material for their own literary efforts, often crude and condescending. There are
