The Death of Heraclitus Fairweather, Janet Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Fall 1973; 14, 3; Proquest Pg
The Death of Heraclitus Fairweather, Janet Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Fall 1973; 14, 3; ProQuest pg. 233 The Death of Heraclitus Janet Fairweather ECENTLY there has been a revival of interest in a theory, Roriginally put forward by A. Gladisch,l about one ancient ac count of the death of Heraclitus. According to Neanthes of Cyzicus 2 Heraclitus, suffering from dropsy, attempted to cure him self by covering his body with manure and lying out in the sun to dry, but he was made unrecognizable by the dung covering and was finally eaten by dogs. Gladisch and others have seen in this anecdote a veiled allusion to a certain Zoroastrian ritual, described in the Videvdat (8.37f), in which a man who has come into contact with a corpse which has not been devoured by scavengers is supposed to rid himself of the polluting demon, Nasu the Druj, by lying on the ground, covering himself with bull's urine, and having some dogs brought to the scene. The fact that we find both in Neanthes' tale and in this ritual the use of bovine excreta, exposure of a man's body in the sun, and the inter vention of dogs has seemed to some scholars too remarkable to be coincidental. Gladisch and, following him, F. M. Cleve3 have seen in Neanthes' anecdote an indication that Heraclitus might have ordered a Zoroastrian funeral for himself. M. L. West,4 more cautiously and subtly, has suggested that the story of the manure treatment and the dogs could have originated as an inference from some allusion Hera clitus may have made to the purification ritual in a part of his work now lost, perhaps in connection with his sneer (fr.86 Marcovich=B 5 D/K) at people who attempt to rid themselves of blood pollution by spilling more blood. -

On the Arrangement of the Platonic Dialogues
Ryan C. Fowler 25th Hour On the Arrangement of the Platonic Dialogues I. Thrasyllus a. Diogenes Laertius (D.L.), Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers 3.56: “But, just as long ago in tragedy the chorus was the only actor, and afterwards, in order to give the chorus breathing space, Thespis devised a single actor, Aeschylus a second, Sophocles a third, and thus tragedy was completed, so too with philosophy: in early times it discoursed on one subject only, namely physics, then Socrates added the second subject, ethics, and Plato the third, dialectics, and so brought philosophy to perfection. Thrasyllus says that he [Plato] published his dialogues in tetralogies, like those of the tragic poets. Thus they contended with four plays at the Dionysia, the Lenaea, the Panathenaea and the festival of Chytri. Of the four plays the last was a satiric drama; and the four together were called a tetralogy.” b. Characters or types of dialogues (D.L. 3.49): 1. instructive (ὑφηγητικός) A. theoretical (θεωρηµατικόν) a. physical (φυσικόν) b. logical (λογικόν) B. practical (πρακτικόν) a. ethical (ἠθικόν) b. political (πολιτικόν) 2. investigative (ζητητικός) A. training the mind (γυµναστικός) a. obstetrical (µαιευτικός) b. tentative (πειραστικός) B. victory in controversy (ἀγωνιστικός) a. critical (ἐνδεικτικός) b. subversive (ἀνατρεπτικός) c. Thrasyllan categories of the dialogues (D.L. 3.50-1): Physics: Timaeus Logic: Statesman, Cratylus, Parmenides, and Sophist Ethics: Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Phaedrus, Symposium, Menexenus, Clitophon, the Letters, Philebus, Hipparchus, Rivals Politics: Republic, the Laws, Minos, Epinomis, Atlantis Obstetrics: Alcibiades 1 and 2, Theages, Lysis, Laches Tentative: Euthyphro, Meno, Io, Charmides and Theaetetus Critical: Protagoras Subversive: Euthydemus, Gorgias, and Hippias 1 and 2 :1 d. -

Anne-Florence GILLARD-ESTRADA Oscar Wilde’s Aesthetics in the Making: The Reviews of the Grosvenor Gallery exhibitions of 1877 and 1879) This paper explores the first two texts Wilde published in 1877 and 1879 in Irish periodicals, which are reviews of the first and third exhibitions of the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877 and 1879. Wilde commented on the developments that had been affecting British painting for the past fifteen years or so. He addressed the works of artists who were then associated with the “classic” school of painting as well as with “Aestheticism”—which often overlapped. Moreover, he engaged in a dialogue with the reviewers and art critics who were favourable to such art. -

Interpreting the Heroine of a Greek Romance Isabelle Kennedy
Charicleia’s Dream: Interpreting the Heroine of a Greek Romance Isabelle Kennedy Raposo Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in Classics April 2019 © Isabelle Raposo 2019 Introduction Dreams, Oracles, and Interpretation This thesis will analyze the ways in which Charicleia, the heroine of Heliodorus’ Aethiopica, is characterized, using an oracular dream as a guide to interpretation. About the Aethiopica The Aethiopica, or “An Ethiopian story,” is the only known work of Heliodorus of Emesa, composed about 350 A.D. Little is known about the life of Heliodorus apart from the information he provides at the end of the Aethiopica: “[the Aethiopica’s] author is a Phoenician of Emesa, of the race of the Sun—the son of Theodosius, Heliodorus” (277). Emesa stood on the same ground as the modern city of Homs, Syria, and was known for the local cult of the god ‘LH’GBL or Elahagabal.1 The church historian Sokrates refers to a bishop named Heliodorus, living in Thessaly around 385, who may have started the practice of married men entering the church becoming celibate.2 Synopsis Persinna, the queen of Ethiopia, conceives a child while consorting with her husband Hydaspes and looking at a wall painting of Andromeda. The child is born white as a result, in spite of both of her parents’ having dark skin, and Persinna embroiders the story of her conception on a ribbon. Gathering the ribbon and some unique jewels, she sends the child to be exposed. Sisimithres, a sage who is an advisor to the Ethiopian court, finds the baby and takes her to be raised by shepherds outside the Ethiopian capital city of Meroe. -

Constitutional Design in the Ancient World
LANNI & VERMEULE 64 STAN. L. REV. 907 (DO NOT DELETE) 5/23/2012 11:39 AM CONSTITUTIONAL DESIGN IN THE ANCIENT WORLD Adriaan Lanni* & Adrian Vermeule** This paper identifies two distinctive features of ancient constitutional design that have largely disappeared from the modern world: constitution-making by single individuals and constitution-making by foreigners. We consider the virtues and vices of these features, and argue that under plausible conditions single founders and outsider founders offer advantages over constitution-making by representative bodies of citizens, even in the modern world. We also discuss the implications of adding single founders and outsider founders to the constitutional toolkit by describing how constitutional legitimacy would work, and how consti- tutional interpretation would be conducted, under constitutions that display either or both of the distinctive features of ancient constitutional design.

Academic Year: 2016-2017 Abstract This research paper has studied the elements underlying the absurdity of communication between the characters in Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story, Le Roi Jones’s Dutchman and Adrienne Kennedy’s Funnyhouse of a Negro. This issue has been addressed through three major phases. First, the focus has been placed upon the socio-economic and racial injustices in the American society during the 1950s and 1960s. Second, as a direct consequence of the socio-economic disparity, the alienation experienced by the plays’ central characters has been analyzed in the light existentialism. Third, the very absurdity of the characters’ interaction has been interpreted in terms of the characters’ ironic pursuit for communication. Such ironic interaction has therefore been tackled from a mythical perspective calling forth Northrop Frye’s theory of archetypes, particularly the mythos of satire and irony. Hence, it has been concluded that the characters’ failed communication is brought about by their ironic attack of their interlocutors’ fake personas.
