Transantiquity
TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity.

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 Historians' Portrayal of Bandits, Pirates, Mercenaries and Politicians
Freelance Warfare and Illegitimacy: the Historians’ Portrayal of Bandits, Pirates, Mercenaries and Politicians A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the University of Minnesota BY Aaron L. Beek In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Advised by Andrew Gallia April 30, 2015 © Aaron L. Beek 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines freelance warfare in the ancient world. The ‘freelancer’ needs to be understood as a unified category, not compartmentalized as three (or more) groups: pirates, bandits, and mercenaries. Throughout, I contend that ancient authors’ perception and portrayal of the actions of freelancers dramatically affected the perceived legitimacy of those actions. Most other studies (e.g. Shaw 1984, de Souza 1999, Grünewald 1999, Pohl 1993, Trundle 2004, Knapp 2011) focus on ‘real’ bandits and on a single one of these groups. I examine these three groups together, but also ask what semantic baggage words like latro or leistes had to carry that they were commonly used in invectives. Thus rhetorical piracy is also important for my study. The work unfolds in three parts. The first is a brief chronological survey of ‘freelance men of violence’ of all stripes down to the second century BC. Freelancers engage in, at best, semi-legitimate acts of force. Excluded are standing paid forces and theft by means other than force, vis. In a form of ancient realpolitik, the freelancer was generally more acceptable to states than our aristocratic historians would prefer that we believe. Moreover, states were more concerned with control of these ‘freelancers’ than in their elimination. The second section explains events of the second and first century in greater detail. -

Of Hyperides
The ‘Nachleben’ of Hyperides Submitted for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of London by Lâszlô Horvath University College London (Department of Greek and Latin) 1997 Abstract of thesis The thesis begins with the examination of extant evidence from the medieval textual tradition, the latest reference in which relates to 16th century Hungary. The thesis focuses on the question of the dramatic changes in Hyperides’ popularity between the second centuries B.C. and AD. First, the problem of the origin of the rhetorical canon is dealt with. Hyperides’ unquestionable place in it reflects the favour of the Hellenistic rhetorical schools. The fact that in lexicographical works, from the beginning of Atticising tendencies up to the Byzantine period, Hyperides’ vocabulary is quite frequently referred to, is partly due to the paradoxon that the orator belongs to the accepted Ten, despite the fact that he uses an ‘impure’ language and therefore he stays in the crossfire of lexicographers. The decisive factor in Hyperides’ ‘Nachleben’ is the Rhodian school of rhetoric. In Molo’s rhetorical system the actual delivery (‘actio’) was the most important element. Logically, his Attic models became the ex-actor Aeschines and the witty and facetious Hyperides. Molo smoothly melted together the inherited Asian and the adopted Attic rhetorical tradition to create something new, which had far reaching influence in first century Rome. The majority of Romans, who seem to respect Hyperides, can also be related to Rhodes in one way or other. Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Caecilius on the other hand are the first representatives of the later dominating school-demand for orators, with a perspicuous ‘lektikos topos’, which can be easily imitated by students.
