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.

  • The Interpretation of the Bible by the Minor Hellenistic Jewish Authors Pieter W

    The Interpretation of the Bible by the Minor Hellenistic Jewish Authors Pieter W

    Chapter Fourteen The Interpretation of the Bible by the Minor Hellenistic Jewish Authors Pieter W. van der Horst Introduction In this contribution, not all minor Hellenistic Jewish authors will be dealt with. Excluded are all pseudepigrapha because they constitute a class of their own and are discussed elsewhere in this volume, as is also Aristobulus. 1 Some borderline cases, like Thallus and Theophilus, have also been omitted either because their Jewish identity is uncertain or because their tiny fragments do not yield much of importance. We have restricted ourselves to the nine authors from whom quotations or excerpts have been preserved via Alexander Polyhis­ tor in the ninth book of bishop Eusebius' Praeparatio Evangelica (henceforth PE), written in the first quarter of the fourth century c.E.2 Alexander Polyhistor3 was a prolific writer in the genre of geographical­ historical periegesis. According to the Suda (s. v. 'AA.E!;av6Qo~ 6 MLA.~mo~, ed. Adler 1, p. 104) he was brought as a captive from Miletus to Rome in the time of Sulla, but regained his liberty in 82 B.C.E.; he died in Italy as an aged man somewhere after 40 B.C.E.4 Innumerable books came from his pen (ouvEyQa'\jJE ~(~A.ou~ OQL'ItJ.loiJ X.QEL'ttOU~, Suda s. v. ), e.g. on the history of Egypt, Babylo­ nia, India, Crete, Libya, Phrygia, Lycia (Afyu1tnax.a, XaMai:x.a, 'Iv6Lx.a, KQl'J'tLx.a, AL~ux.a, IlEQi ~Quy(a~, IlEQL Aux.(a~), etc. 5 He was not an original and independent author, for most of his work seems to have consisted of 1 On Aristobulus see Borgen, 'Philo of Alexandria', 274-79 (Philo and His Predecessor Aristobulus).
  • Popular Cult – North Syria

    Popular Cult – North Syria

    CHAPTER 4 POPULAR CULT – NORTH SYRIA In this chapter the emphasis moves away from the state-controlled production of official images – so important to the understanding of the ideology of the court – and into a world of regional polities. While the coin evidence may show the religious penchant of a ruler, the everyday beliefs of the population are better expressed through the building of temples and shrines, whether they be erected through public or private expense. The terminology used in the title of the chapter, „popular cult‟, is intended to take in all manner of religious activity for which we have evidence, where the activity lay more with the population at large than simply the whim of the king. The nature of archaeological survival has necessitated that this chapter be dominated by sanctuaries and temples, although there are exceptions. Excavations at the great metropolis of Antioch for example have not revealed the remains of any Seleukid period temples but Antioch may still prove informative. Whilst some, or perhaps all, of the Hellenistic temple constructions discussed below may have been initiated by the king and his council, the historic and epigraphic record is unfortunately too sporadic to say for certain. While the evidence discussed in Chapter 2.3 above suggests that all must have been ratified by the satrapal high-priest, the onus of worship appears to have been locally driven. The geographic division „north Syria‟ is used here to encompass the Levantine territory which was occupied by Seleukos I Nikator following the victory at Ipsos in 301 BC, that is to say, the part of Syria which came first under the control of the Seleukids.

    Christ-Bearers and Fellow- Initiates: Local Cultural Life and Christian Identity in Ignatius’ Letters1

    HARLAND/CHRIST-BEARERS 481 Christ-Bearers and Fellow- Initiates: Local Cultural Life and Christian Identity in Ignatius’ Letters1 PHILIP A. HARLAND In writing to Christian congregations in the cities of Roman Asia, Ignatius draws on imagery from Greco-Roman cultural life to speak about the identity of the Christians. Scholars have given some attention to the cultural images which Ignatius evokes, but often in a cursory way and rarely, if ever, with reference to local religious life. Concentrating on Ignatius’ characterization of Christian groups as “Christ-bearers” and “fellow-initiates” (Eph. 9.2; 12.2), the paper explores neglected archeological and epigraphical evidence from Asia Minor (and Syria) regarding processions, mysteries, and associations. This sheds important light on what Ignatius may have had in mind and, perhaps more importantly, what the listeners or readers of Ignatius’ letters in these cities would think of when he spoke of their identity in this way. 1. INTRODUCTION Ignatius of Antioch uses several analogies and metaphors in his letters to speak about the identity of Christian assemblies in Roman Asia. The Christians at Ephesos, for instance, are likened to a choral group in a temple, “attuned to the bishop as strings to a lyre” (Eph. 4; cf. Phld. 1.2). They are “fellow-initiates” (symmystai) of Paul that share in the “myster- ies” (Eph. 12.2; 19.1; cf. Magn. 9.1; Trall. 2.3). Together they take part in 1.

    Philologus 2019; 163(1): 72–94 Leonid Zhmud* What is Pythagorean in the Pseudo-Pythagorean Literature? https://doi.org/10.1515/phil-2018-0003 Abstract: This paper discusses continuity between ancient Pythagoreanism and the pseudo-Pythagorean writings, which began to appear after the end of the Pythagorean school ca. 350 BC. Relying on a combination of temporal, formal and substantial criteria, I divide Pseudopythagorica into three categories: 1) early Hellenistic writings (late fourth – late second centuries BC) ascribed to Pytha- goras and his family members; 2) philosophical treatises written mostly, yet not exclusively, in pseudo-Doric from the turn of the first century BC under the names of real or fictional Pythagoreans; 3) writings attributed to Pythagoras and his relatives that continued to appear in the late Hellenistic and Imperial periods. I will argue that all three categories of pseudepigrapha contain astonishingly little that is authentically Pythagorean. Keywords: Pythagoreanism, pseudo-Pythagorean writings, Platonism, Aristote- lianism Forgery has been widespread in time and place and varied in its goals and methods, and it can easily be confused with superficially similar activities.
