  • How to Write History: Thucydides and Herodotus in the Ancient Rhetorical Tradition
    How to write history: Thucydides and Herodotus in the ancient rhetorical tradition A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Scott Kennedy, B.A., B.S. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Adviser Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Will Batstone Copyright by Scott Kennedy 2018 Abstract Modern students of Thucydides and Herodotus may find it odd to think of them as rhetoricians. Yet in the ancient world, both historians (and especially Thucydides) played an important role in rhetorical schools. They were among the favorite authors of ancient teachers of rhetoric and served as foundational pillars of the ancient curriculum, providing themes for school exercises and even for such seminal texts as Hermogenes' theoretical treatises on rhetoric. Modern scholars might never read technical rhetorical texts such as Hermogenes. They almost certainly would never turn to Hermogenes and his kind to help them understand Thucydides or Herodotus. But for our ancient intellectual predecessors, such an approach would have been unconscionable, as ancient rhetoric was the theoretical lens with which they understood and appreciated historical writings. In this dissertation, I explore the confluence of rhetoric and historiography in the ancient world through an examination of how Herodotus and Thucydides were used in ancient schools and then by later historians. Chapter 1 and 2 outline how these historians were embedded and encoded within the rhetorical curriculum. In Chapter 1, I examine how Herodotus and Thucydides entered the rhetorical curriculum and how rhetors incorporated them into the rhetorical curriculum through an examination of the surviving progymnasmata, scholia, and pedagogical myths.

Movement and Mobility in the Medieval Mediterranean The medieval Mediterranean was not a static maritime space. In recent years, studies have focused on Mediterranean dynamics, connections, encounters and entanglements. What approaches do researches from History, Literature, Archaeology, Philology and other disciplines adopt to better understand the complexity of the medieval Mediterranean? How and to what extent did multiple agents, phenomena and factors interact to shape and intertwine the multidimensional spheres of the Mediterranean? We welcome papers from all disciplines that study movement and mobility from different perspectives in and across the medieval Mediterranean and its extensions, both physical and imagined.

Material within entries is arranged predominantly alphabetically, although some of the longer entries begin with a chronologically-ordered section, to help orient the reader. Footnotes are only referred to where the subject is not mentioned in the corresponding page of the text. Personal names of Byzantines and other individuals in the early and middle periods are generally listed by first name followed by family name (for example, John Skylitzes rather than Skylitzes, John). For the later period, some (mainly western) individuals are listed by surname (for example, Dandolo, Enrico). Entries for commonly occurring first names are sequenced thus: Byzantine emperors, patriarchs of Constantinople, popes, and then all others in alphabetical order.

  • The Reception of Xenophon in Byzantium: the Macedonian Period Inmaculada Pérez Martín
    The Reception of Xenophon in Byzantium: The Macedonian Period Inmaculada Pérez Martín Ξενοφῶντα νεανιευόµενον µὲν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις φιλῶ, γηράσκοντα δὲ ἐν τοῖς λόγοις ἐπαινῶ. Maximus of Tyre 16.5 HE STUDY of the reception of an author in Byzantium can shed light on particular periods of Byzantine T culture, the nature of some of its own texts,1 and the constitution of the corpus of ‘classical’ authors that has come down to us.2 Accordingly, the Byzantine study of Xenophon3 will be treated here as an element of Macedonian culture, sharing some of its features and marked by its politics. The subject can be addressed on different levels, the first and most traditional being the search for echoes of Xenophon in Byzantine writers. Nevertheless, in the case of a ‘textbook’ author such as Xenophon, omnipresent in glossaries and collections of proverbs, his presence in Byzantine texts is un- 1 A. Kaldellis, “Classical Scholarship in Twelfth-Century Byzantium,” in C. Barber and D. Jenkins (eds.), Medieval Greek Commentaries on the Nicomachean Ethics (Leiden/Boston 2009) 1–43, esp. 5, points out the absence of studies on “Byzantine classical scholarship as a cultural problem in its own right.” The present study is a way of approaching this from the viewpoint of the ancient text. 2 A.

  • Warfare and the Byzantine Army
    HOW TO FORGE AN EMPIRE: ARMS PRODUCTION IN THE MIDDLE BYZANTINE PERIOD A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Jordan Matthew Dills 2017 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program January 2018 Abstract HOW TO FORGE AN EMPIRE: ARMS PRODUCTION IN THE MIDDLE BYZANTINE PERIOD Jordan Matthew Dills The goal of this thesis is to explore the production of ferrous (iron) armaments in the Middle Byzantine Empire, and more specifically the tenth century. Three cornerstones define the current research: (1) An exploration of the technology at use in the production of ferrous armaments. (2) A comprehensive look at the logistical and organizational struc- tures which facilitated this industry. (3) A closer look at the labour investments required to manufacture armaments through an ethnographic and experimental approach. The tenth century document known as the De Cerimoniis forms a foundational pillar of the current study. The document details the quantity and types of military equipment required for a naval expedition launched by the Byzantines in A.D. 949. The information provided within has made this inquiry into logistics possible, and has allowed for the assessment of overall trends in the tenth century arms production industry. Keywords: Byzantine, metallurgy, weapons, armour, armor, production, logistics. ii Acknowledgments I would first like to acknowledge my supervisor Dr. Hugh Elton whose guidance was instrumental not only in the success of this thesis but in my growth as both a re- searcher and writer.

He was educated in the classics at the universities of Leipzig and Munich and in 1897 became Professor of medieval and modern Greek at the University of Munich. Arguably the greatest Byzantinist of his generation, his contributions to the field were profound. He both founded the discipline’s leading international journal, the Byzantinische Zeitschrift, and authored its standard reference work, Die Geschichte der Byzantinischen Litteratur (1892; 2nd ed., 1897). Die Geschichte der Byzantinischen Litteratur, The History of Byzantine Literature, is a wealth of general and detailed information. General introductory chapters on particular genres are followed by shorter chapters on individual authors, and detailed bibliographies enrich its more than 1100 pages.

  • The Discontinuous History of Imperial Panegyric in Byzantium and Its Reinvention by Michael Psellos Anthony Kaldellis
    The Discontinuous History of Imperial Panegyric in Byzantium and its Reinvention by Michael Psellos Anthony Kaldellis HE MATRIX OF BYZANTINE LITERATURE was training in rhetorical theory and rhetorical performance, which T shaped the form, language, goals, argumentation, nuances, and other compositional modalities of most written texts. Rhetorical training also provided the templates for actual speeches, such as homilies and funeral orations.1 For modern historians of Byzantium the most important type of speech is the imperial panegyric, formal speeches in praise of an emperor, because they contain precious historical information, push the propaganda of each court, or at least the speaker’s political thought, and supposedly reveal the Byzantines’ basic assump- tions about their empire and ruler. Panegyric was an ancient genre and practice, and by the early Byzantine period for- malized recommendations had emerged for praising emperors. We have one such textbook (attributed to a certain Menandros) with advice and templates for the basilikos logos.2 We have many 1 The standard survey of rhetorical genres is H. Hunger, Die hochsprachliche profane Literatur der Byzantiner I (Munich 1978) 63–196; a more engaging survey in G. A. Kennedy, Greek Rhetoric under Christian Emperors (Princeton 1983); a briefer and more recent one in E. Jeffreys, “Rhetoric in Byzantium,” in I. Worthington (ed.), A Companion to Greek Rhetoric (Chichester 2010) 166–184; the papers in E. Jeffreys (ed.), Rhetoric in Byzantium (Aldershot 2003), and M. Grünbart (ed.), Theatron: Rhetorische Kultur in Spätantike und Mittelalter (Berlin/ New York 2007), reveal the scope of its cultural and literary importance. 2 For a brief history of the genre see C.
