The Italian humanists were fascinated by this collection of fictional letters by the monstrous Sicilian tyrant, Phalaris, famous for torturing his enemies inside a bronze bull and eating human babies. In keeping with the established tradition in Ancient Greece of epistolary fiction, these letters are a literary creation by a yet unknown author, who reinvented Phalaris and explored his public and private life through the fictional letters.

  • Friendship and Literary Criticism at the School of Gaza*
    What Did Diodorus Write? Friendship and Literary Criticism at the School of Gaza* Federica Ciccolella The so-called School of Gaza, which flourished between the fifth and the sixth centuries, represented the twilight of Greco-Roman culture in Palestine before the Muslim conquest of 635.1 Although Procopius of Gaza is generally considered the school’s most important representative, his work did not attract much attention until a decade ago, when scholars were suddenly reminded of his existence thanks to the fortunate discovery of an exchange of letters between Procopius and a contemporaneous rhetorician, Megethius, in a manuscript of the Marciana Library in Venice.2 This renewed interest has led to a wave of studies resulting in two critical editions of Procopius’s rhetorical works. Recent translations of these works into Italian and French will certainly spark more interest in Procopius and his works.3 Our most important source on Procopius’s life is an oration that his pupil Choricius wrote after his death, which is approximately dated 536.4 Born in Gaza between 463 and 473, Procopius received his primary education in his city and then moved to Alexandria, where he perfected rhetoric and studied philosophy probably at the school of Olympiodorus the Elder. Procopius became a sophist and a teacher of rhetoric; after teaching in Pamphylia and, perhaps, at Caesarea and in other cities, he eventually returned to Gaza, where he spent the rest of his life. Procopius’s teaching attracted many * This article is a revised and expanded version of the paper I gave at the 44th Conference of the Israel Society for the Promotion of Classical Studies (The Open University of Israel, Ra‘anana, June 3-4, 2015), after presenting a first draft, in Italian, at the University of Florence (June 8, 2014).

Jashemski, Professor This study summarizes the existing information on the Roman domestic cult and illustrates it by a study of the arch­ eological evidence. The household shrines (lararia) of Pompeii are discussed in detail. Lararia from other parts of the Roman world are also studied. The domestic worship of the Lares, Vesta, and the Penates, is discussed and their evolution is described. The Lares, protective spirits of the household, were originally rural deities. However, the word Lares was used in many dif­ ferent connotations apart from domestic religion. Vesta was closely associated with the family hearth and was an ancient agrarian deity. The Penates, whose origins are largely un­ known, were probably the guardian spirits of the household storeroom. All of the above elements of Roman domestic worship are present in the lararia of Pompeii. The Genius was the living force of a man and was an important element in domestic religion.

I argue that archeological and literary evidence indicate that local (populations such as the Mariandynoi, Syrians, Caucones, Paphlagonians, and Tibarenians) and dominant external (including: Miletus, Megara/Boeotia, Athens, and Persia) socio-economic Network systems developed and shaped these three colonies, and helped explain their role in the overarching Black Sea Network.

  • Bär Zu Brodersen
    Kai BRODERSEN (Hg., Übers.), Ailianos. Tierleben. Berlin/Boston: De Gruyter 2018, 864 S. Der römische Sophist und Rhetoriklehrer Claudius Aelianus (ca. 170-222 n. Chr.) hat mehrere griechische Prosaschriften zu unterschiedlichen Themen verfasst. Von diesen sind uns drei heute noch vollständig erhalten: Eine Bunte Ge- schichte (Ποικίλη ἱστορία, Varia historia) in vierzehn Büchern, eine Schrift Über die Eigenart der Tiere (Περὶ ζῴων ἰδιότητος, De natura animalium) in siebzehn Büchern, sowie zwanzig (in ihrer Echtheit allerdings angezweifelte) Bauern- briefe (Ἐπιστολαὶ ἀγροικικαί, Epistulae rusticae). Kai Brodersen (B.) – Professor für Alte Geschichte an der Universität Erfurt und im deutschsprachigen Raum einer breiten Öffentlichkeit als Übersetzer und Vermittler der Antike be- kannt – hat die beiden erstgenannten Schriften letztes Jahr in der renommier- ten zweisprachigen Sammlung Tusculum herausgebracht (Brodersen 2018a; Brodersen 2018b). Seine Übersetzung von De natura animalium ist Gegenstand dieser Rezension. Eine „Einführung“ (S. 14-20) und ein „Anhang“ (S. 849-864) rahmen den Hauptteil des über achthundert Seiten starken Buches. In der Einführung gibt B. einen Überblick über das Wenige, was aus Aelians Leben bekannt ist, und über den Aufbau und die Wirkungsintention von dessen Schrift De natura animalium, deren Titel erst seit dem Mittelalter bezeugt ist und sich in seiner deutschen Wiedergabe durch B. an Brehms Thierleben – die bekannte populär- wissenschaftliche Darstellung der Tier- und Artenvielfalt des deutschen Zoo- logen Alfred Brehm (1829-1884)1 – anlehnt. Ebenfalls angesprochen und disku- tiert werden der hohe Wert des Werkes für die Quellenforschung, der darin besteht, dass Aelian „eine Vielzahl älterer Autoren und Werke [nennt]“ (S. 11), sowie die bisher existierenden Textausgaben und Übersetzungen. Im Anhang finden sich eine Gegenüberstellung der älteren, auf Hercher (1864) zurück- gehenden Kapitelzählung mit der neuen von García Valdés/Llera Fueyo/Rod- ríguez-Noriega Guillén (2009) (GLR), deren griechischen Text B.

For more information, please contact [email protected] THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES The Historicity of Homeric Warfare: Battle in the Iliad and the Hoplite Phalanx, c. 750 – 480 BCE By CARLOS DEVIN FERNANDEZ A Thesis submitted to the Department of Classics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with Honors in the Major Spring, 2016 2 The members of the Defense Committee approve the thesis of Carlos Devin Fernandez defended on April 19, 2016. 3 Chapter One: Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nature of battle in Homer’s Iliad, and its relationship to the actual practices of the Archaic period. In particular, it aims to focus on the roles of foot soldiers in Homeric battle, and how their features compare to those of hoplites, who first emerged during the poet’s own era. The renowned epos of war relates the story of Achilles’ wrath against his fellow Greeks during the final year of the Trojan War, and as such, contains innumerable scenes of combat. Though the epic tends to underscore the aristeia (‘excellence’) of its heroes, who are often engaged in single-combat with one another, the same episodes also illustrate the participation of the masses on the battlefield. I shall argue that these scenes of battle, and their representations of infantry combat, when examined with supplementary literary and archaeological evidence, are essential tools in interpreting eighth- to sixth-century BCE warfare, particularly the roles of the average citizen and the development of the hoplite phalanx.1 Background: The Dating of a ‘Homeric Society’ The Iliad has been rigorously analyzed in the resurgence of ancient warfare scholarship over the last few decades.

  • Christ As the Telos of Life: Moral Philosophy, Athletic Imagery, and the Aim of Philippians
    CHRIST AS THE TELOS OF LIFE: MORAL PHILOSOPHY, ATHLETIC IMAGERY, AND THE AIM OF PHILIPPIANS Submitted by Bradley Arnold to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in March 2013. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: …………………………………………………………………………………… ABSTRACT The aim of Paul’s letter to the Philippians has been understood in various ways: e.g. reassurance, consolation, advance of the gospel. This thesis presents a new analysis of Philippians that challenges these proposals and offers a new way of thinking about Paul’s overarching argumentative aim in this letter. After demonstrating the need to examine three areas (viz. moral philosophy, athletics, and vivid speech) in an historical analysis of Philippians and addressing methodological issues pertinent to this investigation (Part I), I turn to map out the historical context relevant for this project (Part II): viz. the broad structure of thought in ancient moral philosophy, ancient athletics and its association with virtue, and the use of vivid description to persuade an audience. The final part of this thesis (Part III) is an exegetical analysis of Philippians that interprets the letter in light of the contextual material discussed in Part II, exploring how this contextual material contributes to and is interrelated in Paul’s persuasive appeal to morally form the Philippian Christians in a particular way.

  • Ingo Werner Gerhartz Tragische Schuld
    Ingo Werner Gerhartz Tragische Schuld ALBER THESEN A Die Frage nach der Schuld des Ödipus ist nicht nur eines der meist- diskutierten Probleme der philologischen Tragödienforschung, son- dern verweist als Paradigma tragischen Handelns auf die Verstrickun- gen einer menschlichen Freiheit, die sich von den Bedingungen ihrer eigenen Existenz zu lösen versucht und ihnen doch stets verhaftet bleibt. Solange jedoch ein modernes, auf individuelle Verantwortlich- keit reduziertes Verständnis von Schuld unhinterfragt an das antike Drama herangetragen wurde, musste Sophokles schweigen. Erst die philosophische Reflexion grundlegender Begrifflichkeiten eröffnet den Blick auf die kultische Metaphorik der Befleckung (miasma) im rituellen Untergrund der Tragödie und den wesenhaft ekstatischen Ursprungsbezug von Mythologie überhaupt. Indem tragische Schuld solcherart über die engen Grenzen sub- jektiver Zurechenbarkeit hinaus gedeutet wird, liefert sie nicht nur wichtige Impulse für mehrere Forschungsprobleme der beteiligten Disziplinen, sondern erschließt auch eine neue Perspektive auf das Verhältnis des Stücks zu drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit als Aus- einandersetzung mit Hybris und Fehlbarkeit des Menschen im Schat- ten eines mißverstandenen Ideals grenzenloser Machbarkeit. Der Autor: Ingo Werner Gerhartz, Jahrgang 1979, studierte in Mainz Philoso- phie und Griechische Philologie.

  • The Greek Epigraphic Evidence for Healer Women
    THE GREEK EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR HEALER WOMEN IN THE GREEK WORLD Jennifer C. Irving Bachelor of Ancient History (Honours, 1st Class) Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University Thesis submitted to Macquarie University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Dr. Ian Plant, Associate Prof. Paul McKechnie 10th October 2015 1 Declaration This work has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other university or institution. This thesis conforms to the length of a doctoral thesis and is no longer than 100,000 words. ___________________________________ Jennifer C. Irving Abstract The ancient healer woman is not a well-documented phenomenon. She is seen as a silent figure who challenged the boundaries of society, based on the assumption that women were seen negatively in skilled occupations. This thesis challenges such assumptions, then demonstrates how healer women were valued in their communities and in a comprehensive catalogue of epigraphic evidence. Individual case studies create a more nuanced understanding of the Greek healer woman. The thesis explores the healer woman in her own context and in doing so, answers questions concerning her education, status, and reputation. The evidence set forth in this thesis has shown that not all healer women were challenging the boundaries of their societies, but rather that they could be respected as professional and skilled authorities. The arguments of this thesis are supported by discussion of associated Greek terms, and show that literary evidence was not always a direct reflection of reality. This thesis also leads the way for future research on Roman evidence from later periods, and gives recognition of a public acknowledgement of the contribution of healer women.
