This period of conflict is difficult to define: it was too inactive to be called a ‘war’ but too active to be called a ‘cold war’. Nevertheless, it was a ‘war’, even if it lacked the numerous pitched battles or protracted sieges that defined other periods or other operational theatres of war. This study examines the way the Byzantines innovated and adapted their strategies and tactics to those of their enemies in the East, giving a rich picture of tenth-century Byzantine warfare.

Books in the series provide an important synergy of the latest scholarly ideas about this formative ancient world civilization. Available in the series Classics & Ancient History 5 PERSIA Archaeology of Empire in Achaemenid Egypt Henry P. Colburn, University of Southern California A study of the material culture of Egypt during the period of Achaemenid Persian rule, c. 526-404 BCE Previous studies have characterised Achaemenid rule of Egypt either as ephemeral and weak or oppressive and harsh. These characterisations, however, are based on the perceived lack of evidence for this period, filtered through ancient and modern preconceptions about the Persians. Henry Colburn challenges these views by assembling and analyzing the archaeological remains from this period, including temples, tombs, irrigation works, statues, stelae, sealings, drinking vessels and coins. By looking at the decisions made about material culture - by Egyptians, Persians and others - it becomes possible to see both how the Persians integrated Egypt into their empire and the full range of experiences people had as a result.

Although undated, these translations, commonly known as the Zand, are often associated with the Sasanian era (224–651 ce). Despite the many challenges the Zand offers to us today, it is indispensable for investigations of late antique exegesis of the Avesta, a collection of religious and ritual texts commonly regarded as the Zoroastrians’ scripture.

    Joseph Grzywaczewski Sidonius Apollinaris' Pagan

    Studia Theologica Varsaviensia UKSW 1/2014 JOSEPH GRZYWACZEWSKI SIDONIUS APOLLINARIS’ PAGAN VISION OF ANCIENt ROMA BELLATRIX IN CHRISTIAN ROME Sidonius Apollinaris was born in Lyons c. 430. His father was prefec- tus pretorii in Gaul. He received a good classical education, especially in grammar, literature and rhetoric, in Lyons and in Arles1. He published several poems and wanted to be considered as a poet2. He married Papia- nilla a daughter of Senator Eparchius Avitus. His father-in-law had good relationships with two kings of Visigoths, Theodoric I (418-451) and his successor Theodoric II (453-466). The Visigoths kept peace with Rome as allies (federati) of the Empire. On July 9th 455, Avitus was proclaimed Emperor of the West in Arles. In such circumstances, young Sidonius started his career in public activity. 1. ROMA BELLATRIX IN THE panegyric IN HONOUR OF AVITUS Sidonius received a proposal to pronounce a panegyric in honour of the new Emperor at the ceremony of his enthronisation in Rome on Ja- nuary 1st 456. He accepted such an honourable proposal and according 1 Sidonius Apollinaris in The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, Ox- ford 1997, p. 1498. 2 See Sidoine Apollinaire, Poèmes, ed.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. What is Literature? A Definition Based on Prototypes Jim Meyer Most definitions of literature have been criterial definitions, definitions based on a list of criteria which all literary works must meet. However, more current theories of meaning take the view that definitions are based on prototypes: there is broad agreement about good examples that meet all of the prototypical characteristics, and other examples are related to the prototypes by family resemblance. For literary works, prototypical characteristics include careful use of language, being written in a literary genre (poetry, prose fiction, or drama), being read aesthetically, and containing many weak implicatures. Understanding exactly what literature is has always been a challenge; pinning down a definition has proven to be quite difficult.
  • The Canon Debate and the Use of Classics in the ESL Classroom a Compilation of Opinions

    The Canon Debate and the Use of Classics in the ESL Classroom a Compilation of Opinions

    Örebro University Department of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences English The Canon Debate and the use of Classics in the ESL Classroom A Compilation of Opinions Author: Simon Petersson Id no. 19931017-7531 Degree Project Essay VT 2016 Supervisor: Ewa Zetterberg Abstract A recurring issue in the teaching of language is the role of the classics. These older works often have high status and are frequently considered for reading in schools. But their use is not without debate, and there are several problems to the classics and the Western canon that might be worthy of consideration for a teacher in the English subject operating in Sweden. This essay looks closer at the definitions of the classics and of canonicity followed by a neutral summary some of the viewpoints expressed during the Canon Debate in America during the 1990s. For this purpose I have used various journal articles and books, found using the search engines of Örebro University and search terms that I have found relevant for the subject. After this follows a discussion regarding the uses of the classics in English language education in Sweden and what potential effects their removal could have on the English subject. The essay concludes that there are plenty of theoretical uses of the classics, but that it might not be too big of a deal if they are replaced by more recent or non-canonical literature. What is important in the end is that the teacher can achieve his or her goals, personal or otherwise, for his or her classes and that the material he or she picks can fulfil the role that they are supposed to.

In the modern period, many and diverse explanations of Herod‘s actions have been put forward, but previous approaches have often been hamstrung by inadequate and disproportionate use of either form of evidence. My analysis incorporates both forms while still keeping important criticisms of both in mind. Both forms of evidence, archaeological and historical, have biases, and it is important to consider their nuances and limitations as well as the information they offer. In the first chapter, I describe the most important previous approaches to the person of Herod and evaluate both the theoretical paradigms as well as the methodologies which governed them.
