We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • Dissertation Master
    APOSTROPHE TO THE GODS IN OVID’S METAMORPHOSES, LUCAN’S PHARSALIA, AND STATIUS’ THEBAID By BRIAN SEBASTIAN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Brian Sebastian 2 To my students, for believing in me 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A great many people over a great many years made this possible, more than I could possibly list here. I must first thank my wonderful, ideal dissertation committee chair, Dr. Victoria Pagán, for her sage advice, careful reading, and steadfast encouragement throughout this project. When I grow up, I hope I can become half the scholar she is. For their guidance and input, I also thank the members of my dissertation committee, Drs. Jennifer Rea, Robert Wagman, and Mary Watt. I am very lucky indeed to teach at the Seven Hills School, where the administration has given me generous financial support and where my colleagues and students have cheered me on at every point in this degree program. For putting up with all the hours, days, and weeks that I needed to be away from home in order to indulge this folly, I am endebted to my wife, Kari Olson. I am grateful for the best new friend that I made on this journey, Generosa Sangco-Jackson, who encouraged my enthusiasm for being a Gator and made feel like I was one of the cool kids whenever I was in Gainesville. I thank my parents, Ray and Cindy Sebastian, for without the work ethic they modeled for me, none of the success I have had in my academic life would have been possible.

    COLLECTION LATOMUS VOL. II HomIDages a""' Joseph Bidez et a""' Franz Culllont LATOMUS REVUE D'ÉTUDES LATINES 214, Avenue Brugmann, BRUXELLES La Mythologie de Glaucus dans l'ode I, 7 d 'Horace On est généralement d'accord pour admettre la vieille scolie de Porphyrion selon laquelle le destinataire de la belle ode 7 du li­ vre I des Odes d'Horace n'est autre que le célèbre Plancus, géné­ ral de César, ami de Cicéron, épistolier remarquable (1), pàrtisan d'Antoine et transfuge passé à Octave in extremis non sans avoir été courtisan fort servile de Cléopâtre. Mais, à propos de la même ode, la critique éprouve un certain mal à justifier les allusions my- · thiques qui s'y trouvent et particulièrement l'association d'idées par laquelle Teucer de Salamine est annexé à la conclusion de l'ode. Kiessling-Heinze dans l'édition Weidmann de 1930, estime qu'il ne faut pas chercher d'explication (li). Nous avons, quant à nous, vé­ rifié maintes fois l'étonnante subtilité du poète lorsqu'il s'agit de sertir son développement de savoureuses allusions - toujours quel- . que peu satiriques au fait qui le préoccupe principalement. Ici nous avons sans trop de pèin'ê été mis sur la voie de l'énigme par une note de Velleius Paterculus (8). Il conviertt d'en donner la tra­ duction: « Comme ensuite grandissaient en lui (Antoine) la flamme de son amour pour Cléopâtre et l'intensité de ses vices - lesquels sont toujours alimentés par le pouvoir, la licence et les flatteries - il décida de porter la guerre contre sa patrie.

    PETER MARSHALL FRASER 135 PETER FRASER Photograph: B. J. Harris, Oxford Peter Marshall Fraser 1918–2007 THE SUBJECT OF THIS MEMOIR was for many decades one of the two pre- eminent British historians of the Hellenistic age, which began with Alexander the Great. Whereas the other, F. W. Walbank (1909–2008),1 concentrated on the main literary source for the period, the Greek histor- ian Polybius, Fraser’s main expertise was epigraphic. They both lived to ripe and productive old ages, and both were Fellows of this Academy for an exceptionally long time, both having been elected aged 42 (Walbank was FBA from 1951 to 2008, Fraser from 1960 to 2007). Peter Fraser was a tough, remarkably good-looking man of middle height, with jet-black hair which turned a distinguished white in his 60s, but never disappeared altogether. When he was 77, a Times Higher Education Supplement profile of theLexicon of Greek Personal Names (for which see below, p. 179) described him as ‘a dashing silver-haired don’. He was attract ive to women even at a fairly advanced age and when slightly stout; in youth far more so. The attraction was not merely physical. He was exceptionally charming and amusing company when not in a foul mood, as he not infrequently was. He had led a far more varied and exciting life than most academics, and had a good range of anecdotes, which he told well. He could be kind and generous, but liked to disguise it with gruffness. He could also be cruel. He was, in fact, a bundle of contradictions, and we shall return to this at the end.

  • Orpheus Und Eurydike Auf Der Opernbühne1
    FRIEDERIKE WIßMANN Orpheus und Eurydike auf der Opernbühne1 Die Darstellung des Orpheus-Mythos im musiktheatralen Raum ist an die Erzählung vom Liebespaar Orpheus und Eurydike gebunden. Obwohl Eurydike als die Geliebte des Orpheus erst durch die römische Überlieferungstradition thematisiert ist, näm- lich in Vergils Georgica (ca. 30 v. Chr.)2, kommt Orpheus ohne Eurydike auf der Opernbühne überhaupt nicht vor. Die für die Oper entscheidende Facette des kom- plexen Orpheus-Mythos erweist sich also als „spätes, synkretistisches Konstrukt“3. 1600 entsteht Jacopo Peris Oper Euridice. Sie wird in der Operngeschichts- schreibung insofern als erste Oper apostrophiert4, als sie eine durchgängig gestal- tete Komposition darstellt, in welcher der Text, die Musik und das Schauspiel in einem wechselseitigen Verhältnis stehen. An die Erfi ndung der Oper ist nicht nur das Thema vom entzweiten Liebespaar Orpheus und Eurydike gebunden, sondern es verändert sich mit Einführung der Oper vor allem die Vorstellung von „dem schönsten Gesang“. Die Verschiebung in den musiktheatralen Raum bedeutet nämlich auch eine Relativierung des Absolutheitsanspruches der musikalischen Wirkungsmacht: Orpheus’ Gesang ist nun nicht mehr als rein musikalisches Er- eignis vermittelt, sondern er wird zum Bestandteil eines Plots, eingebunden in die Inszenierung einer Handlung. Somit beginnt die Operngeschichte zwar mit der Wiederbelebung des Orpheus, die Librettisierung des Orpheus-Stoffes aber impli- ziert in einer Art dialektischer Bewegung gleichzeitig die Relativierung des

  • The Brontë Name and Its Classical Associations
    The Brontë Name and Its Classical Associations R. G. COLLINS T AHE NAME CHANGE that Patrick Brunty gave himself when he went to Cambridge as a mature sizar has been regarded, variously, as an indication of an impoverished Irish youth pain• fully attempting to give himself a little style, as a mildly amusing instance of snobbery, or as simple hero-worship. Patrick was born, in a one-room cottage, into a large and scarcely literate peasant family that was tied to the earth; he educated himself and walked away from it, raising himself by his own intelligence and force of will. That latter quality he certainly passed on ; and the Brontë name would become, soon after, so distinguished through the writings of his daughters that any attempt to asso• ciate himself with Lord Nelson, newly titled as the Duke of Brontë after the Sicilian city of that name in honour of the naval hero's victories in the early days of the Napoleonic wars, is merely a psychological footnote in Patrick Bronte's life.1 If Patrick were simply trying to eliminate an Irish identifica• tion in his own surname, he certainly did not pick an anony• mously English patronymic. On the contrary, the name Brontë before the 1840's would have had a distinctly alien ring, except for the Nelson association. Even then, since honorary titles were used only for ceremonial identification (e.g., the Duke of Wel• lington's later title of Baron Duoro) rather than everyday use, knowledge of it would be restricted to readers acquainted with national and world affairs over the preceding decades.

  • Sommerfrische Auf Rhodos Vom 29.06. – 06.07.2019
    ORPHEUS KULTUR - UND STUDIENREISEN WWW.ORPHEUS-REISEN.DE Freundeskreis der Antike zu Bremen e.V. Sommerfrische auf Rhodos vom 29.06. – 06.07.2019 Nils Steffen und Marko Müller Nach einer Ode Pindars ist Helios der legendäre Schutzgott der Insel Rhodos. Seinem Kult ist um 300 vor Christus der Bau des Koloss von Rhodos zu verdanken - eines der sieben Weltwunder der Antike: Er beherrschte die Einfahrt am Mandraki-Hafen von Rhodos-Stadt. Schon Homer bezeugt im 8. Jahrhundert v. Chr. für Rhodos die Existenz der Stadtstaaten Lindos, Kamiros und Ialissos, die der Insel ein reiches antikes Erbe bescheren. Tausend Jahre Byzanz, später die Kreuzritter und Türken prägen das kulturelle Erbe. Wir erkunden Rhodos im Sommer – und deswegen mit Muße und Genuss. Unser 4- Sterne-Hotel befindet sich in herrlicher Strandlage an der Ostküste unweit von Rhodos-Stadt und bietet einen idealen Ausgangspunkt für unsere Exkursionen. Zu den bedeutendsten Sehenswürdigkeiten aus antiker Zeit zählen heute die Ausgrabungsstätten von Kamiros in schöner Panoramalage und die strahlend weiße Akropolis von Lindos – eine der großen Attraktionen von ganz Griechenland. Die beeindruckenden Fundstücke entdecken wir im Archäologischen Museum. Die byzantinische Zeit ist präsent in vielen kleinen, über die Insel verstreuten Kirchen und Klöstern. Für die Zeit der Kreuzritter ist die Altstadt von Rhodos ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis. Vollständig erhalten sind die Befestigungsanlagen, der Großmeisterpalast und die Ritterstaße. Nicht umsonst wurde sie zum Weltkulturerbe ernannt. Eine Inselrundfahrt führt uns an die Westküste nach Ialissos und zum berühmten Schmetterlingstal: ein idyllischer Ort für einen schattigen Spaziergang durch tausende farbenfrohe Schmetterlinge. Eine kleine Perle der besonderen Art ist die Nachbarinsel Symi (Tagesexkursion mit dem Schiff) – eine der malerischsten Inseln der Ägäis mit ihrem liebevoll restaurierten Hauptort und dem Kloster Moni Panormitis.
