In this thesis, I examine one particular instantiation of it, the practice known as “Atticism”, which was observed by Ancient Greek authors living in the early centuries AD. These writers often used a language that mimicked the older Classical Attic dialect (associated with Athens) instead of the every- day spoken dialect or “Koine”. I consider, as a case study, the language of Achilles Tatius, a second century Greek novelist, in his only surviving work, Leucippe and Clitophon. I begin with a discussion of the varied uses of the term “Atticism” with respect to the social and cultural context in which the practice developed and give a review of previous literature on Atticism and on Achilles Tatius’, his work and language. My thesis is the first analysis of Achilles’ language in English and the first to specifically examine his use of Atticist forms. Using digital editions of Achilles’ text and computerised software, I have developed new methodologies for measuring and describing the degree to which an author makes use of Atticist linguistic features. I apply these to the language of Achilles Tatius’ novel by looking at specific phonetic, morphological and lexical forms that were especially associated with the Attic dialect. In the body of the thesis, I discuss four types of phonetic features and nine morphological categories which have forms that varied between the Attic and Koine dialects. For each Atticist feature, I analyse the evidence of ancient use and the testimonies of ancient scholars. I then discuss the forms that Achilles chooses to use in his text to determine the degree to which he shows Atticist practice. I also briefly examine his choice of certain lexical items that were considered Atticist by the ancient lexicographer Moeris. This thesis establishes new ways of assessing the types of Atticism practiced by writers of the Koine Greek period. By examining the language of one particular author in detail, I show how these methods can be used to enhance our understanding of the practice of Atticism. Importantly, these methodologies can be extended to other types of Atticist and purist linguistic activities and can be used to assess the language of other authors of the period. iii A Note on Translations and Related Issues All passages cited from ancient authors come from the editions published on the online TLG, with the exception of the Latin quotes of Cicero which are from the Loeb editions of those texts.1 All translations of ancient texts are mine (unless otherwise stated). I made extensive use of the section on the “Conventions and Characteristics of Scholarly Writing” and the “Glossary of Grammatical Terms” in Dickey’s (2007) Ancient Greek Scholarship when translating passages from the grammarians and lexicographers. I used Probert’s (2003) book on Greek accentuation to assist with the correct placement of accents. I am thankful to my supervisor, Prof. John Hilton for his assistance with some of the more difficult Greek passages. Any outstanding errors in Greek forms and translations are my own. For Greek words cited in the body of the text, I normally use Greek script, but in translations of the works of ancient authors, I transliterate Greek words into Latin script. I have used traditional English transliteration practices.2 The long vowels (η and ω) are indicated by means of a macron (ē and ō). Short vowels omit the macron.3 Rough breathings are indicated by h and accents are absent. Iota subscripts are represented by a normal iota (ι). In my translations, I use round brackets ( ) for words added to clarify the sense of the passage and square brackets [ ] for additional information of my own. Translations of German, French and Spanish quotes are also mine (unless otherwise stated), interpreted with assistance from Google Translate. It should be noted that any English quotations I give from Schmid (1887-1896) and Santafé Soler 2005) are translations from the original German and Spanish respectively. I am thankful to Dr. Elke Steinmeyer for assistance with Schmid’s German text. 1 TLG: Pantelia 2017. Loeb editions: Ηendrickson 1939, Hubbell 1939 2 ζ = z, θ = th, κ = c, ξ = ks, υ = u/y, φ = ph, χ = ch, ψ = ps and ῥ = rh 3 For names like Leucippe (Λευκίππη) and Clitophon (Κλειτοφῶν) and the word Koine (κοινή), when used in the body of my thesis, I do not use macrons, since these spellings are conventionally accepted in the current English literature. iv Abbreviations Works: EAGLL Encyclopedia of Ancient Greek Language and Linguistics.

The present chapter will demonstrate the same two crucial points with respect to the topic of Atticism: again, I will argue that the views of the critics and rhetoricians in Rome are built on a shared conceptual framework, while each author at the same time interprets elements from this common repertoire so as to suit their own goals and motivations. Specifically, we will see that there is a remarkable interplay between, on the one hand, the stylistic views of three prominent scholars, viz., Calvus, Cicero, and Dionysius, and, on the other hand, the contemporary political situation in Rome. There was hardly a greater compliment for an orator or prose author in Late- Republican and Augustan Rome than to be called ‘Attic’ (Ἀττικός , Atticus ). Our record of the city’s obsession with Attic style, now standardly referred to as Atticism, goes back to the middle of the first century BC, when a group of Roman orators, presumably led by C.

Johnson, Supervisor ___________________________ Janet Downie ___________________________ Joshua D. Sosin ___________________________ Jed W. Atkins An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classical Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 Copyright by David William Frierson Stifler 2019 Abstract This dissertation investigates ancient language ideologies constructed by Greek and Latin writers of the second and third centuries CE, a loosely-connected movement now generally referred to the Second Sophistic. It focuses on Lucian of Samosata, a Syrian “barbarian” writer of satire and parody in Greek, and especially on his works that engage with language-oriented topics of contemporary relevance to his era. The term “language ideologies”, as it is used in studies of sociolinguistics, refers to beliefs and practices about language as they function within the social context of a particular culture or set of cultures; prescriptive grammar, for example, is a broad and rather common example. The surge in Greek (and some Latin) literary output in the Second Sophistic led many writers, with Lucian an especially noteworthy example, to express a variety of ideologies regarding the form and use of language.

Friedrich Meins, Paradigmatische Geschichte: Wahrheit, Theorie und Methode in den Antiquitates Romanae des Dionysios von Halikarnassos. Palingenesia . Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, . Pp. Hardback, €,. ISBN --- -. t has long been a commonplace that every piece of scholarship concerning Dionysius of Halicarnassus should start with the complaint that the author I has been historically underappreciated and understudied. There were good reasons to do so. From the nineteenth century until just recently, Dionysius was considered a ‘dirty’ author to study. The lack of appreciation for Dionysius in the last two centuries has become even more striking after the recent revaluation of his importance in the Renaissance and the Enlighten- ment. In a series of brilliant studies, Gabriele Pedullà has demonstrated that Dionysius had an absolutely essential role in the development of European political thought, and was a major influence on Bodin, Montesquieu, and perhaps even Machiavelli.1 Until the early nineteenth century, he was fully part of the canon of ancient historians one was expected to be familiar with alongside Herodotus, Thucydides, Polybius, Livy, and Tacitus. The reasons for the decline of Dionysius’ reputation in the nineteenth century have been discussed at great length by Pedullà. The rise of historicism with its romantic and nationalist ideology was the real reason for Dionysius’ fall from grace.

Supplices) is certain to be the first in a trilogy of tragedies with an appurtenant comic epilogue, ‘satyr-play’. The other two tragedies and the satyr-play have been lost except for a few lines preserved in quotations and, possibly, papyri. The dissertation contains an introduction to the entire drama, a translation and commentary on the first half of the text (verses 1–523), and an excursus. The Introduction deals with the date of the theatrical production, the literary theme, the mythological background, the hypothetical reconstruction of the trilogy, and the contemporary Athenian theatre. The Commentary constitutes the major part of the work, being primarily philological, but also literary and historical, dealing with matters of scenic production and the nature of the chorus, where some new hypotheses are proposed, and with Greek mythology, religion, politics, and history in general as these become issues of particular passages of the text. The constitution of the text is a major concern. The Supplices is based on virtually only one manuscript: the Florentine Laurentianus graecus 32.9 (‘Codex Mediceus’) from the 10th century.

  • Julian, Paideia and Education
    The Culture and Political World of the Fourth Century AD: Julian, paideia and Education Victoria Elizabeth Hughes Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology April 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the role of education and paideia in the political and cultural landscape of the mid-fourth century, focusing on the Greek East and the reign of Julian, particularly his educational measures. Julian’s edict and rescript on education are often understood (not least in light of the invectives of Gregory of Nazianzus) as marking an attempt on his part to ban Christians from teaching and, by extension, from engaging in elite public life. They have been used by some scholars as evidence to support the hypothesis that Julian, a committed pagan, implemented an anti-Christian persecution. This thesis reconsiders that hypothesis: it re-evaluates the reign of Julian and his educational measures, and considers the political role of paideia as the culmination and public expression of rhetorical education. Chapter one introduces the topic and provides a brief ‘literature review’ of the key items for a study of Julian and education in the fourth century. Chapter two addresses rhetorical education in the fourth century: it offers a survey of its methods and content, and explores the idea of a ‘typical’ student in contrast with ‘culture heroes’. Chapter three investigates the long-standing Christian debate on the compatibility of a traditional Greek education with Christian belief, and considers the role of Julian in this connection. Chapter four discusses the enhanced status of Latin and of law studies in light of the enlarged imperial administration in the fourth century, and considers the extent to which this development worked to the detriment of rhetorical studies.

Relation of the Dorians to the Macedonians. 1. “From early times the Dorians and Ionians were the chief races of the Grecian nation; the latter of Pelasgic, the former of Hellenic origin; the latter an aboriginal people, the former a people much addicted to wandering. For the former, when under the dominion of Deucalion, dwelt in Phthiotis; and in the time of Dorus, the son of Hellen, they inhabited the country at the foot of Ossa and Olympus, which was called Hestiæotis. Afterwards, however, being driven from Hestiæotis by the Cadmeans, they dwelt under mount Pindus, and were called the Macednian nation. From thence they again migrated to Dryopis; and having passed from Dryopis into Peloponnesus, they were called the Doric race.” This connected account cannot be considered as derived immediately from ancient tradition; but can only be viewed as an attempt of the father of history to arrange and reconcile various legends.
