CROESUS’ GREAT NEMESIS

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  26 February 2019

John D. Dillery*
Affiliation:
University of Virginia, USA

Abstract

This article attempts to account for the fact that nemesis occurs only once in Herodotus. It connects the term to Phrygia and the importance of Nemesis there, esp. as seen in ‘confession-inscriptions’ (Beichtinschriften). It argues that the Atys-Adrastus story is meant as an interpretative guide to the rest of the History through its use of significant names, comparable to the use of significant names in the Old Testament.
