  • Mihi Blanditias Dixit: the Puella As Poet in Amores 3.7 in Amores 3.7, Ovid
    Mihi blanditias dixit: the Puella as Poet in Amores 3.7 In Amores 3.7, Ovid describes the lover-poet in a difficult position: he has been unable to achieve an erection while trying sleep with a beautiful puella. The poem describes her repeated attempts to excite him and their mutual frustration at her lack of success, until she finally scolds him and walks away. I argue that Ovid describes the unnamed puella as a failed elegist in this poem, and that her failure is part of a broader pattern of disengagement from elegy in the third book of the Amores. Amores 3.7 has received relatively little scholarly attention, as only four articles focus on this poem. Baeza Angulo compares Amores 3.7 with other ancient literature on impotence (1989), Mauger-Plichon examines the poem alongside parts of the Satyrica and Maximianus 5 (1999), and Holzberg argues that Ovid almost breaches the propriety of elegiac diction in Amores 3.7 (2009). I build on Sharrock’s 1995 article, which presents a metapoetic reading of the poem: that Ovid blurs the line between sex and poetry in Amores 3.7, allowing the reader to interpret the lover-poet’s impotence not just as literal, but also as poetic. I focus on the puella’s role as a poet, rather than on the amator, and therefore also engage with Wyke’s (e.g. 1987) and James’ (2003) discussions of the elegiac mistress as a poetic fiction, as well as Keith’s examination of elegiac language used to describe Corinna in Amores 1.5 (1994).

  • The Roles of Solon in Plato's Dialogues
    The Roles of Solon in Plato’s Dialogues Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Ortencio Flores, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Bruce Heiden, Advisor Anthony Kaldellis Richard Fletcher Greg Anderson Copyrighy by Samuel Ortencio Flores 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Plato’s use and adaptation of an earlier model and tradition of wisdom based on the thought and legacy of the sixth-century archon, legislator, and poet Solon. Solon is cited and/or quoted thirty-four times in Plato’s dialogues, and alluded to many more times. My study shows that these references and allusions have deeper meaning when contextualized within the reception of Solon in the classical period. For Plato, Solon is a rhetorically powerful figure in advancing the relatively new practice of philosophy in Athens. While Solon himself did not adequately establish justice in the city, his legacy provided a model upon which Platonic philosophy could improve. Chapter One surveys the passing references to Solon in the dialogues as an introduction to my chapters on the dialogues in which Solon is a very prominent figure, Timaeus- Critias, Republic, and Laws. Chapter Two examines Critias’ use of his ancestor Solon to establish his own philosophic credentials. Chapter Three suggests that Socrates re- appropriates the aims and themes of Solon’s political poetry for Socratic philosophy. Chapter Four suggests that Solon provides a legislative model which Plato reconstructs in the Laws for the philosopher to supplant the role of legislator in Greek thought.

  • Menander's Misoumenos
    ANDREAS KATSOURIS MENANDER’S MISOUMENOS: PROBLEMS OF INTERPRETATION Tyche, the New Comedy goddess, has recently made another miracle; working through human agents, as is usually the case with New Comedy plays, in this case through Professor Turner, revealed to us about ninety lines of the first Act of Menander’s Misoumenos1. With the new find some problems are solved and others are created. I shall try here to point out the difficulties and to offer an interpretation of this play, under the light shed upon it by our new fragment. The play opens with a short but excellent monologue, a combination of invocation and lamentation, by Thrasonides (A1 - A14) followed by a lively dialogue between Getas and his master (A15-A100). Thrasonides addresses the Night2, a most appropriate address, for two reasons, first, because Night has the greatest share in Aphrodite (=love-making)-and love seems to be Thrasonides’ main problem-, and secondly, he is actual­ ly soliloquising in the middle of the night (A8)3. In this soliloquy Thra­ sonides also informs the audience that he feels as the most miserable and wretched person on earth; he walks up and down (περιπατώ τ’ άνω κά­ τω)4 in front of his house (έν τω στενωπω)5 at mid-night, thus indicating both the locale and the tim e; he could be asleep or in bed, καθεύδειν 1.

  • Rethinking Athenian Democracy.Pdf
    Rethinking Athenian Democracy A dissertation presented by Daniela Louise Cammack to The Department of Government in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Political Science Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts January 2013 © 2013 Daniela Cammack All rights reserved. Professor Richard Tuck Daniela Cammack Abstract Conventional accounts of classical Athenian democracy represent the assembly as the primary democratic institution in the Athenian political system. This looks reasonable in the light of modern democracy, which has typically developed through the democratization of legislative assemblies. Yet it conflicts with the evidence at our disposal. Our ancient sources suggest that the most significant and distinctively democratic institution in Athens was the courts, where decisions were made by large panels of randomly selected ordinary citizens with no possibility of appeal. This dissertation reinterprets Athenian democracy as “dikastic democracy” (from the Greek dikastēs, “judge”), defined as a mode of government in which ordinary citizens rule principally through their control of the administration of justice. It begins by casting doubt on two major planks in the modern interpretation of Athenian democracy: first, that it rested on a conception of the “wisdom of the multitude” akin to that advanced by epistemic democrats today, and second that it was “deliberative,” meaning that mass discussion of political matters played a defining role. The first plank rests largely on an argument made by Aristotle in support of mass political participation, which I show has been comprehensively misunderstood. The second rests on the interpretation of the verb “bouleuomai” as indicating speech, but I suggest that it meant internal reflection in both the courts and the assembly.

Tara Welch, Chairperson Committee Members : Michael Shaw Pamela Gordon Date Defended: 04/01/2011 The Thesis Committee for Monique S. Imair certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: IDENTITY CRISIS: SCRIPTAE PERSONAE IN OVID’S AMORES 1.4 AND 2.5 Tara Welch, Chairperson Committee Members : Michael Shaw Pamela Gordon Date Accepted: 06/13/2011 ii Page left intentionally blank iii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the multifaceted personae of Ovid’s Amores, specifically in Amores 1.4 and 2.5. These personae range from Ovid as poet (poeta), lover (amator), and love teacher (praeceptor amoris); the poet’s love interest, the puella; the rival, the vir; other unnamed rivals; and reader. I argue that Ovid complicates the roles of the personae in his poetry by means of subversion, inversion and amalgamation. Furthermore, I conclude that as readers, when we understand how these personae interact with each other and ourselves (as readers), we can better comprehend Ovid’s poetry and quite possibly gain some insight into his other poetic works. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One.

  • Near-Miss Incest in Plautus' Comedies
    “I went in a lover and came out a brother?” Near-Miss Incest in Plautus’ Comedies Although near-miss incest and quasi-incestuous woman-sharing occur in eight of Plautus’ plays, few scholars treat these themes (Archibald, Franko, Keyes, Slater). Plautus is rarely rec- ognized as engaging serious issues because of his bawdy humor, rapid-fire dialogue, and slap- stick but he does explore—with humor—social hypocrisies, slave torture (McCarthy, Parker, Stewart), and other discomfiting subjects, including potential social breakdown via near-miss incest. Consummated incest in antiquity was considered the purview of barbarians or tyrants (McCabe, 25), and was a common charge against political enemies (e.g. Cimon, Alcibiades, Clo- dius Pulcher). In Greek tragedy, incest causes lasting catastrophe (Archibald, 56). Greece fa- vored endogamy, and homopatric siblings could marry (Cohen, 225-27; Dziatzko; Harrison; Keyes; Stärk), but Romans practiced exogamy (Shaw & Saller), prohibiting half-sibling marriage (Slater, 198). Roman revulsion against incestuous relationships allows Plautus to exploit the threat of incest as a means of increasing dramatic tension and exploring the degeneration of the societies he depicts. Menander provides a prototype. In Perikeiromene, Moschion lusts after a hetaera he does not know is his sister, and in Georgos, an old man seeks to marry a girl who is probably his daughter. In both plays, the recognition of the girl’s paternity prevents incest and allows her to marry the young man with whom she has already had sexual relations. In Plautus’ Curculio a soldier pursues a meretrix who is actually his sister; in Epidicus a girl is purchased as a concu- bine by her half-brother; in Poenulus a foreign father (Blume) searches for his daughters— meretrices—by hiring prostitutes and having sex with them (Franko) while enquiring if they are his daughters; and in Rudens where an old man lusts after a girl who will turn out to be his daughter.

  • Renaissance Anthropologies and the Conception of Man Caroline Stark
    RENAISSANCE ANTHROPOLOGIES AND THE CONCEPTION OF MAN Caroline Stark Two sixteenth-century developments are credited with drastically altering the conception of man and his place in the universe, thus marking a fun- damental shift to modernity: the Protestant Reformation and subsequent Counter-Reformation, and the emergence of the New Science. This new conception of man, either as an impotent, sinful creature in need of divine grace or as a creative, active force for improving his own condition and society, would not have been possible without the earlier debate over the condition of man among Renaissance humanists.1 A number of notable humanists, including Petrarch, Facio, Manetti, and Pico della Mirandola,2 responded to the misery of man tradition, as exemplified by Pope Inno- cent III’s treatise on the misery of the human condition,3 by celebrating 1 Giovanni Gentile, Giordano Bruno e il Pensiero del Rinascimento (Florence: Le Let- tere, 1991); Eugenio Garin, “La ‘Dignitas Hominis’ e la Letteratura Patristica,” La Rinascita 1 (1938): 102–46; Giovanni Di Napoli, “ ‘Contemptus Mundi’ e ‘Dignitas Hominis’ nel Rinasci- mento,” Rivista di Filosofia Neoscolastica 48 (1956): 9–41; Paul Oskar Kristeller, Renaissance Concepts of Man, and Other Essays (New York: Harper & Row, 1972); Charles Trinkaus, “The Renaissance Idea of the Dignity of Man,” in Dictionary of the History of Ideas, ed.

  • Advice-Giving in Roman Comedy: Speech-Act Formulation and Im/Politeness
    Advice-Giving in Roman Comedy: Speech-Act Formulation and Im/politeness Łukasz Berger 1 Introduction The present chapter examines several pragmatic aspects of giving advice in Roman comedy, a speech act particularly concerned with the speakers’ self- representation and their social bonds during critical moments of the plot. While orders and threats are mechanisms of exerting power and dominance, good advice in comedy serves to portray father-son and amical relations on stage (Raccanelli 1998: 190). On the other hand, seeking, giving, and receiving advice—planned over many utterances—comprises entire scenes, in which interlocutors manage rapport, while the pragmatic meaning emerges from the on-going interaction. Accordingly, the studies on advice describe multiple possibilities of expressing advice and acknowledge ‘a certain fuzziness of the concept itself’ (Locher 2012: 7), which is also recognised in Latin scholarship (e.g. Unceta Gómez 2009: 33–34; Barrios-Lech 2016: 274). The following pages set out to address the complexity of the phenomenon of advising in Plautus and Terence, its discursive realisation and its contribution to the Latin system of politeness, as represented in the comedy texts. To this end, I will need to combine various pragmatic perspectives. The speech-act theoretical descrip- tion of advising (Section 2) will be followed by its analysis in light of the research on im/politeness (Section 3–4). In doing so, I am most indebted to two studies on Latin directives and their im/politeness value: Risselada (1993) and Barrios-Lech (2016).1 The existing accounts, arguably, can be further developed by a data-driven analysis of Latin conceptualisations of advising and its con- sequences for the management of social relations.
