As a result, domestic affairs, sibling affection, and ‘The Brothers’ have dominated many discussions of this new fragment. In contrast, this paper attempts to highlight a different aspect of Sappho’s poetry, namely the political, public dimension of many of Sappho’s poems, including the new Brothers Poem. Though some excellent analyses of the poem have been published or are forthcoming (Ferrari 2014, Kurke 2016, Stehle 2016), even discussions engaging with the civic world in the poem situate Sappho in the “intimate domestic sphere of the family” (Kurke 2016.5). This paper offers an original literary analysis of the poem as a whole, argues for a stronger political reading of the poem, and tentatively proposes that the political strife of archaic Mytilene is the source of the speaker’s anxiety for her family. First, I set out in brief my approach to the issue of the poetic persona in lyric, the performance context of Sappho’s poetry, and the poet’s social status. Next, I review the evidence for a political, public reading of Sappho’s poetry, an angle of Sappho’s corpus that has received little attention (with the exception of excellent discussions in Williamson 1995.84-89, Wilson 1996.172-185, and Parker 2005). This introductory section concludes with a reevaluation of Sappho fr.5 (on hopes and fears for a brother), which has been supplemented by the recent publication of papyri from the Green Collection (Burris, Fish, and Obbink 2014). Next, I turn to the Brothers Poem itself, to demonstrate how an alertness to political discourse can enrich our reading of the poem. I argue for a reading that divides the poem into three broad movements, in order to trace how the speaker shifts her attention from Charaxos’ survival (5-13), to the family’s prosperity (13-20), to Larichos’ maturation (21-24). Within each of these movements, specific aspects of Sappho’s language and imagery reveal a background of political strife and aristocratic apprehensions. In the first movement, the speaker rebukes an interlocutor and indirectly prays to Hera for the safety of Charaxos and her family (5-13).

  • Latin Curse Texts: Mediterranean Tradition and Local Diversity
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library Acta Ant. Hung. 57, 2017, 57–82 DOI: 10.1556/068.2017.57.1.5 DANIELA URBANOVÁ LATIN CURSE TEXTS: MEDITERRANEAN TRADITION AND LOCAL DIVERSITY Summary: There are altogether about six hundred Latin curse texts, most of which are inscribed on lead tablets. The extant Latin defixiones are attested from the 2nd cent. BCE to the end of the 4th and begin- ning of the 5th century. However, the number of extant tablets is certainly not final, which is clear from the new findings in Mainz recently published by Blänsdorf (2012, 34 tablets),1 the evidence found in the fountain dedicated to Anna Perenna in Rome 2012, (26 tablets and other inscribed magical items),2 or the new findings in Pannonia (Barta 2009).3 The curse tablets were addressed exclusively to the supernatural powers, so their authors usually hid them very well to be banished from the eyes of mortals; not to speak of the randomness of the archaeological findings. Thus, it can be assumed that the preserved defixiones are only a fragment of the overall ancient production. Remarkable diversities in cursing practice can be found when comparing the preserved defixiones from particular provinces of the Roman Empire and their specific features, as this contribution wants to show. Key words: Curses with their language, formulas, and content representing a particular Mediterranean tradi- tion documented in Greek, Latin, Egyptian Coptic, as well as Oscan curse tablets, Latin curse tablets, curse tax- onomy, specific features of curse tablets from Italy, Africa, Britannia, northern provinces of the Roman Empire There are about 1600 defixiones known today from the entire ancient world dated from the 5th century BCE up to the 5th century CE, which makes a whole millennium.

  • Knowledge and Auctoritas in Coornhert's Zedekunst
    Knowledge and Auctoritas in Coornhert’s Zedekunst Julie Rogiest (Ghent University) Introduction In 1586, one of the most important works of the Dutch philosopher Dirck Coornhert, Zedekunst dat is wellevenskunste or The art of the virtuous life,1 was first published2. This work was the first systematized form of ethics ever to have been written in the Dutch language. Apart from that, the text also provides us with a full overview of the philosophical and moral program of its writer. This program, which earned Coornhert the title of « the sixteenth century champion of moral perfectionism »3, can be rendered by three important lines of thought that also make out the core of the rest of his impressive œuvre:4 moral perfectibility5, the search for Truth and moderation in all things “human”6. As I hope to show, the right sort of knowledge plays a central part in Coornhert’s perfectibilist project, and this mostly with regard to the good management of the human emotions or “hartstochten”, which necessarily underlies the virtuous life or “welleven”. Since this article 1 HANS and SIMONE MOOIJ-VALK have translated it more literally by “Ethics or the Art of living well”, cf. “Coornhert on virtue and nobility”, in: Christian Humanism (ed. A. A. MacDonald e.a.), Leiden, Koninklijke Brill, 2009, 157. 2 More information can be found on the site of the Coornhert foundation: http://www.coornhertstichting.nl/Coornhert/. I have chosen to work with the 1586 edition princeps annotated by the Russian Coornhert specialist Bruno Becker. 3 The expression belongs to Bruno Becker. Cf.

Analogy with the five Hesiodic ages, in which the silver age was both later and less worthy than the golden, suggests the cliche of decline. To what extent did the Romans of the early imperial period feel that they and their contemporaries were a falling away from the previous generation? We will see that the change in form of government, by denying opportunities for significant political speech, trivialised the art of oratory. But was there any such external constraint on poetry? Modern critics have reproached Silver Latin epic and tragedy with being 'rhetorical'. Certainly it is clear from Tacitus' Dialogus that men thwarted from political expression transferred to the safer vehicle of historical or mythical poetry both the techniques and ideals of public oratory. But just as no one suggests that Juvenal's satires were poorer compositions because of his apparent rhetorical skill, so rhetorical colouring in the higher poetic genres of tragedy and epic is not necessarily a fault.

  • Expanding the Letter to the Hebrews from Within
    Expanding the Letter to the Hebrews from Within Introduction This document came into existence as the result of three shorter essays written not long before it, The First City, Mystery People and On the Idea of Returning. All deal with different topics yet are related even though I had no intent to make them as such. Before moving into Hebrews itself, let’s look at the two points of connection among them all because they tie in with each other in some way or other. In a way, the first is the most important insofar as it represents a time when I began to develop an approach to scripture different from the one to which I had been accustomed. In that article I recounted events starting from when Adam and Eve had been banished from the Garden of Eden through the founding of the first city and then on to the flood. Cain, who had murdered his brother Abel, became a wander and eventually settled down to found the world’s first city which he named Enoch, that is, after his son. From then on, human civilization began a downward spiral which forced the Lord to destroy every living thing on earth in order to renew creation. All these events are mythic in that they point to more profound realities than any historical ones. The second article examines references to healing in the Gospel of St. Matthew with special attention given to the various scenarios of what could have happened to those whom Jesus had cured. For the most part these people remain anonymous which conveys a certain sense of mystery.
