The closest companion of Socrates, Antisthenes was himself a major thinker and far-famed writer of the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC. A prolific author and an enormously influential figure in the fields of literature and ethical philosophy, the size of Antisthenes' output was matched only by his extraordinary creativity. As a result, in antiquity he enjoyed a stellar reputation. In modern times however, due largely to the inaccessibility of the fragments, he has been almost entirely neglected. As a collection, Antisthenes' fragments had never been translated in any modern language until 2011 (Spanish), had never been the subject of a commentary, nor, it turns out, had they even been edited with due care. Therefore, at the outset of this dissertation project, the intention was to produce an edition of all of Antisthenes' fragments, with translations, commentary and an introductory study. The first step was then to edit all the texts and produce translations. During this phase past editions of Antisthenes' fragments, and the best texts from which his fragments are sourced, were all consulted. It was surprising to discover how many fragments were untranslatable in the state they are printed in existing editions. Many required emendation to make sense of them, and in the process thirteen fragments were added to the corpus, and a further three fragments were significantly extended. It would be fair to say that while Antisthenes has occasionally been edited, he seems rarely ever to have been read. Once all of the fragments had been edited and translated, and the commentary was under way, it gradually became apparent that a full edition would turn out to be well beyond the acceptable length for a dissertation at The University of Sydney. Antisthenes was just so interesting and there was so much to say about his work that a decision had to be made to narrow the focus onto a naturally discrete portion of the fragments. Therefore it was decided to work on all the literary fragments (other than the Ajax & Odysseus, which had been discussed in detail in my previous dissertation: Kennedy 2011). The literary fragments are those that are not specifically philosophical and which show Antisthenes 7 contribution to Greek literary history. These fragments are in any case some of the most interesting, as they display Antisthenes' extraordinary variety and versatility. And to date, compared with his more philosophical fragments, they have been the most neglected. The literary fragments really throw positive light on all of Antisthenes' work and reveal pretty clearly that he needs a complete rethinking. It follows that a major goal of this thesis will be to demonstrate that Antisthenes, as a thinker, was at least as much a literary as he was a philosophical figure. Also, to show that in so far as Antisthenes was a philosophical figure, he was a Socratic through and through, holding ethical values consistent with the elite class he kept company with, and undeserving of his reputation as a founder of Cynicism. That reputation he only acquired in later antiquity, and yet it remains mostly unchallenged in modern scholarship. In demonstrating that Antisthenes was an important literary figure, this thesis will show that he played a seminal role in a range of literary innovations, including (but not limited to): the portrayal of character in prose writing; the development of dialogue form; and the deployment of a systematic method of literary criticism. In fact, a case can be made that Antisthenes was the first Greek writer of prose fiction. The genre of fiction he wrote, and which he used as a vehicle to convey his entire ethical programme, was dialogue. Amongst other innovations, he wrote dialogues interpreting Homer, and he deployed a greater variety of strategies in his dialogues than any of his contemporaries – e.g. including mythical characters and including himself as speakers. Antisthenes' great innovativeness, which others built on, was no doubt a contributing factor prompting ancient critics to level accusations of plagiarism against authors such as Plato and Aeschines of Sphettus. In short, Antisthenes was a Socratic philosopher and a major literary figure in his day, whose genre of choice was prose fiction, and more specifically prose dialogues. Antisthenes was known in antiquity as the equal of writers such as Plato and Xenophon and all of his work was part of a consistent and coherent programme. His thoughts therefore should not be considered as detached, discrete objects, and his achievements and contribution to literature and ethical philosophy should not be regarded as mere stepping- 8 stones to understanding someone else's thought. While Antisthenes was naturally a participant in the discourses of his time, his leading and innovative contributions to literature deserve to be considered in their own right. The intention is that this dissertation will provide a major step in that direction. Acknowledgements It is a great pleasure to thank those people who have helped make this dissertation what it is. All remaining misjudgements, errors and omissions are solely my responsibility. I wish to thank my examiners, in particular Andrew Ford and Elizabeth Irwin, for numerous helpful suggestions that have significantly improved the final dissertation. I am grateful to all of the academics of the Classics and Ancient History department at Sydney, and would especially like to mention Peter Wilson, Julia Kindt, Bob Cowan, Jelle Stoop, and Rick Benitez, who have all given me vital feedback, encouragement, and support. I would also like to thank the many friends whose company and conversation has sustained me over the course, including particularly Suzanne Bellamy, Paul Macovaz, Paul Touyz, Tatiana Bur, Gavin Molyneux, and my ever supportive fiancée, Mey Delvion. A few friends deserve special mention. Ben Brown, for his friendship and support at every turn, not to mention for introducing me to Classics, for which I owe him a substantial debt of gratitude. Adam Rowsell for good company, cricket conversations, being a splendid host during my weekly stays in Sydney, and for proofreading the final draft of this document. And my mother, Helen Small, for every kind of support imaginable, without which I would hardly have completed the project. Finally I wish to thank my supervisor, Eric Csapo, to whom this thesis is dedicated. It is impossible to imagine that I could have been more fortunate in my choice of mentor. His belief in my project, and the direction, enthusiasm, and support he has provided every step of the way has been extremely generous, not to mention inspirational.

  • The Astronomical Garden of Venus and Mars-NG915: the Pivotal Role Of
    The astronomical garden of Venus and Mars - NG915 : the pivotal role of Astronomy in dating and deciphering Botticelli’s masterpiece Mariateresa Crosta Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF- OATo), Via Osservatorio 20, Pino Torinese -10025, TO, Italy e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This essay demonstrates the key role of Astronomy in the Botticelli Venus and Mars-NG915 painting, to date only very partially understood. Worthwhile coin- cidences among the principles of the Ficinian philosophy, the historical characters involved and the compositional elements of the painting, show how the astronomi- cal knowledge of that time strongly influenced this masterpiece. First, Astronomy provides its precise dating since the artist used the astronomical ephemerides of his time, albeit preserving a mythological meaning, and a clue for Botticelli’s signature. Second, it allows the correlation among Botticelli’s creative intention, the historical facts and the astronomical phenomena such as the heliacal rising of the planet Venus in conjunction with the Aquarius constellation dating back to the earliest represen- tations of Venus in Mesopotamian culture. This work not only bears a significant value for the history of science and art, but, in the current era of three-dimensional mapping of billion stars about to be delivered by Gaia, states the role of astro- nomical heritage in Western culture. Finally, following the same method, a precise astronomical dating for the famous Primavera painting is suggested. Keywords: History of Astronomy, Science and Philosophy, Renaissance Art, Educa- tion. Introduction Since its acquisition by London’s National Gallery on June 1874, the painting Venus and Mars by Botticelli, cataloged as NG915, has remained a mystery to be interpreted [1]1.

Ames, Chairperson Tamara Albertini Chung-ying Cheng James E. Tiles David R. McCraw © Copyright 2004 by John Trowbridge iii Dedicated to my wife, Jill iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In completing this research, I would like to express my appreciation first and foremost to my wife, Jill, and our three children, James, Holly, and Henry for their support during this process. I would also like to express my gratitude to my entire dissertation committee for their insight and understanding ofthe topics at hand. Studying under Roger Ames has been a transformative experience. In particular, his commitment to taking the Chinese tradition on its own terms and avoiding the tendency among Western interpreters to overwrite traditional Chinese thought with the preoccupations ofWestern philosophy has enabled me to broaden my conception ofphilosophy itself. Roger's seminars on Confucianism and Daoism, and especially a seminar on writing a philosophical translation ofthe Zhongyong r:pJm (Achieving Equilibrium in the Everyday), have greatly influenced my own initial attempts to translate and interpret the seminal philosophical texts ofancient China. Tamara Albertini's expertise in ancient Greek philosophy was indispensable to this project, and a seminar I audited with her, comparing early Greek and ancient Chinese philosophy, was part ofthe inspiration for my choice ofresearch topic. I particularly valued the opportunity to study Daoism and the Yijing ~*~ with Chung-ying Cheng g\Gr:p~ and benefited greatly from his theory ofonto-cosmology as a means of understanding classical Chinese philosophy.

  • Aelius Aristides , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 27:3 (1986:Autumn) P.279
    BLOIS, LUKAS DE, The "Eis Basilea" [Greek] of Ps.-Aelius Aristides , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 27:3 (1986:Autumn) p.279 The Ei~ BauLAea of Ps.-Aelius Aristides Lukas de Blois HE AUTHENTICITY of a speech preserved under the title El~ Ba­ T utAia in most MSS. of Aelius Aristides (Or. 35K.) has long been questioned.1 It will be argued here that the speech is a basilikos logos written by an unknown author of the mid-third century in accordance with precepts that can be found in the extant rhetorical manuals of the later Empire. Although I accept the view that the oration was written in imitation of Xenophon's Agesilaus and Isoc­ rates' Evagoras, and was clearly influenced by the speeches of Dio Chrysostom on kingship and Aristides' panegyric on Rome,2 I offer support for the view that the El~ BautAia is a panegyric addressed to a specific emperor, probably Philip the Arab, and contains a political message relevant to a specific historical situation. After a traditional opening (§ § 1-4), the author gives a compar­ atively full account of his addressee's recent accession to the throne (5-14). He praises the emperor, who attained power unexpectedly while campaigning on the eastern frontier, for doing so without strife and bloodshed, and for leading the army out of a critical situation back to his own territory. The author mentions in passing the em­ peror's education (1lf) and refers to an important post he filled just before his enthronement-a post that gave him power, prepared him for rule, and gave him an opportunity to correct wrongs (5, 13).

  • 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.

IT is a point of some interest to the historian of the social and intellectual development of Athens to determine, if possible, the exact dates between which the philosopher Anaxagoras made that city his home. As everyone knows, the tradition of the third and later centuries was not uniform. The dates from which the Alexandrian chronologists had to arrive at their results may be conveniently summed up under three headings, (a) date of Anaxagoras' arrival at Athens, (6) date of his prosecution and escape to Lampsacus, (c) length of his residence at Athens, (a) The received account (Diogenes Laertius ii. 7),1 was that Anaxagoras was twenty years old at the date of the invasion of Xerxes and lived to be seventy-two. This was apparently why Apollodorus (ib.) placed his birth in Olympiad 70 and his death in Ol.

  • Pilgrimage in Graeco-Roman & Early Christian Antiquity : Seeing the Gods
    9 Pilgrimage as Elite Habitus: Educated Pilgrims in Sacred Landscape During the Second Sophistic Marco Galli A Rita Zanotto Galli, con profonda amicizia e stima PATTERNS OF RELIGIOUS MEMORY AND PAIDEIA DURING THE SECOND SOPHISTIC Is it possible to reconstruct, at least in part, the suggestive and intricate frame that connected the monuments and images, the ritual actions, and the pilgrim who actively and subjectively participated as collector and observer of sacred experience? What indices permit us to trace the emotional reactions of pilgrims in contact with the sacred landscape? What mental processes and emotional reactions made the tangible objects (the monuments, the images, and the rites) into mental objects, and how did these become Wxed in the memory of the pilgrim? With these questions as guidelines, I shall argue that we can apply a contem- porary approach to the investigation of the social functions of ancient pilgrimage. For the exploration of the relationship between the religious experiences of the pilgrim and social instances of collective memory for the reconstruction and reactivation of a sacred traditional landscape, we may turn to a moment in history that provides an unusually dense 254 Marco Galli representation of the internal states of sacred experience.1 This is the period dubbed ‘The Second Sophistic’. It was a period virtually obsessed with the problem of memory, when even religious tradition, because it formed one of the most signiWcant communicative functions of collect- ive life, was subjected to fundamental revision within the process of social memory.2 Plutarch’s writings cast light on the role of memory and its interaction with religious tradition.

The only thing we know definitely about him is that we know nothing.’ -L. Brunschvicg As FAR AS we know Socrates himselfwrote nothing, yet not only were his life and words given dramatic attention in his own time in the Clouds of Ar- istophanes, but they have also become the subject of many others’ writing in the centuries since his death. Fourth-century B.C. writers who had first-hand knowledge of him composed either dialogues in which he was the dominant figure (Plato and Aeschines) or memories of his teaching and activities (Xe- nophon). Later authors down even to the present day have written numerous biographies based on these early sources and considering this most protean of philosophers from every possible point of view except perhaps the topograph- ical one which is attempted here. Instead of putting Socrates in the context of 5th-century B.C. philosophy, politics, ethics or rhetoric, we shall look to find him in the material world and physical surroundings of his favorite stamping- grounds, the Athenian Agora. Just as ‘agora’ in its original sense meant ‘gathering place’ but came in time to mean ‘market place’, so the agora itself was originally a gathering place I.

  • Citations in Classics and Ancient History
    Citations in Classics and Ancient History The most common style in use in the field of Classical Studies is the author-date style, also known as Chicago 2, but MLA is also quite common and perfectly acceptable. Quick guides for each of MLA and Chicago 2 are readily available as PDF downloads. The Chicago Manual of Style Online offers a guide on their web-page: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not, but many educational institutions post an MLA guide for free access. While a specific citation style should be followed carefully, none take into account the specific practices of Classical Studies. They are all (Chicago, MLA and others) perfectly suitable for citing most resources, but should not be followed for citing ancient Greek and Latin primary source material, including primary sources in translation. Citing Primary Sources: Every ancient text has its own unique system for locating content by numbers. For example, Homer's Iliad is divided into 24 Books (what we might now call chapters) and the lines of each Book are numbered from line 1. Herodotus' Histories is divided into nine Books and each of these Books is divided into Chapters and each chapter into line numbers. The purpose of such a system is that the Iliad, or any primary source, can be cited in any language and from any publication and always refer to the same passage. That is why we do not cite Herodotus page 66. Page 66 in what publication, in what edition? Very early in your textbook, Apodexis Historia, a passage from Herodotus is reproduced.
