The time of the presentation of the Poenulus at ^ Rome is also imcertain : Hueffner believes that the capture of Sparta ' was a purely Plautine reference to the war with Nabis in 195 b.c. and that the Poenulus appeared in 194 or 193 b.c. The date, however, of the Roman presentation of the Pseudolus is definitely established by the didascalia as 191 b.c. -
DIVINE TRIADS on an ARCHAIC ETRUSCAN FRIEZE PLAQUE from POGGIO CIVITATE (Murlo)
DIVINE TRIADS ON AN ARCHAIC ETRUSCAN FRIEZE PLAQUE FROM POGGIO CIVITATE (Murlo) (Con le taw. I-XII f. t.) On a wooded hill site near the citadel town of Murlo (1), some twenty-five kilometres south of Siena in the heart of Tuscany, excavation by Bryn Mawr College over the past four summers has uncovered a substantial complex of buildings together with a large quantity of architectural terracottas. The buildings, already presented elsewhere (2), date from the Archaic Etruscan period, about the middle of the sixth century B.C. The terracottas, of coarse (1) This study was originally given as part of a seminar on the material from Murlo at Bryn Mawr College in the Fall of 1968. I wish to thank Margaret George Butterworth for the drawing and for extensive ground work done on the frieze as a Senior honors thesis at Bryn Mawr in 1967-8. J. Penny Small, Docent Carl Eric Ostenberg, Professors Georges Dumézil, Einar Gjerstad, Erik Sjöqvist, and Doctor Guglielmo Maetzke, Soprintendente alle Antichità d’Etruria, Florence, were all kind enough to read or discuss various aspects of the paper and offered many useful criticisms and suggestions. Above all, I must record my gratitude to Professor Kyle Μ. Phillips, Jr. of Bryn Mawr College for the oppor- tunity to work with the material over the course of four summers at Murlo and for his unfailing help and guidance on this paper as classroom teacher, field in- structor, and friend. The opinions expressed, needless to say, are entirely my own responsibility. Study photographs of the Murlo friezes were taken by Göran Soderberg; final publication photographs are courtesy of the Florence Archaeolo- gical Museum, where the pieces, recently cleaned, were photographed by Ce- sare Mannucci. -
Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historia Regum Britanniae, a Variant Version. Edited
THE MEDIAEVAL ACADEMY OF AMERICA PUBLICATION No. 57 GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH VARIANT VERSION OF HIS HISTORIA REGUM BRITANNIAE GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH HISTORIA REGUM BRITANNIAE A VARIANT VERSION EDITED FROM MANUSCRIPTS BY JACOB HAMMER HUNTER COLLEGE THE MEDIAEVAL ACADEMY OF AMERICA CAMBRIDGE 38, MASSACHUSETTS 1951 The publication of this book was made possible by grants of funds to the Academy from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the Institute for Advanced Study, and an Anonymous Donor COPYRIGHT BY THE MEDIAEVAL ACADEMY OF AMERICA 1951 Printed in U.S.A. TO E. A. LOWE AND THE MEMORY OF ERNST RIESS PREFACE In 1927 Professor Chambers wrote: Critical work on the manuscripts (of Geoffrey of Monmouth) is still in its infancy, and in these circumstances speculation as to the original form of the Historia and any revision which it may have undergone can only be tentative.1 Two years later, in 1929, two editions of Geoffrey appeared,2 which constitute a real advance over the older, uncritical editions. The present edition which offers the first critical text of a Variant Version of the Historia, based on manuscripts that hitherto passed under the name of Geoffrey, is only another step in this advance. It represents the first fruits of an investigation undertaken many years ago and is preliminary to a critical edition of the Historia, based on all manuscripts known to scholars, the larger portion of which (135 in actual numbers) has already been col- lated. A task of this scope could not have been undertaken without outside assistance. It was thanks to the generous grants (and publication sub- vention) from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies that it was possible to visit the various libraries of Europe and collect the material necessary for the project. -

The Other Greeks: Metaphors and Ironies of Hellenism in Livy’S Fourth Decade
THE OTHER GREEKS: METAPHORS AND IRONIES OF HELLENISM IN LIVY’S FOURTH DECADE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Douglas S. Freeble * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Erik Gunderson, Adviser Approved by Professor Kirk Freudenburg, Co-Adviser ___________________________ Professor Sarah Iles Johnston Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Douglas Freeble 2004 ABSTRACT Already in the Praefatio of Livy’s work the metaphor of the importation of foreign influence is apparent. Livy chooses the annalistic narrative style as the most Roman form possible and a self -construction as an author who valorizes traditional Roman values. These authorial decisions on the modality of the narrative are intimately linked to tropology and the manufacturing of the metaphors and ironies that frame Livy’s text in books 31-45. Roman control in Thessaly is asserted by manufacturing communities in its image. These collapse miserably when the guiding Roman metaphors are questioned. The failure of Roman institutions is depicted as evidence of the restless nature of the Thessalians. A representative image of Thessaly is given in the character of Theoxena, a Thessalian exile who kills herself at a festival of Aeneas. Her story allows Romans to form an emotional bond with the Thessalians, although it maintains their essential alterity. The Galatian campaign of Manlius Vulso shows the dangers of Rome’s encounter with Hellenism. The Galatians are presented as Gallic-Greek hybrids who are no longer the great Gallic warriors of the past. -

It had not been designed by him for a treatise by itself, as appears from the following notice on the title-page, namely : " Intended to be prefixed to the Second Volume of the ' Select Specimens of Ancient Sculpture^ published by the Society of Dilettanti ; but the necessarily slow progress ot that work, in the exhausted state of the funds to be applied to it, affording the author little probability of seeing its com- pletion, he has been induced to print a few copies of this pro- posed Part of it, that any information which he may have been able to collect upon a subject so interesting to all lovers of Elegant Art, may not be lost to his successors in such pur- suits, but receive any additions and corrections which may render it more worthy to appear in the splendid form, and with the beautiful Illustrations of the preceding volume."

FOLK-TALE VESTIGES in the HOMERIC HYMNS* in the Homeric
“Prometheus” 32, 2006, 193-207 UNHELPFUL HELPERS: FOLK-TALE VESTIGES IN THE HOMERIC HYMNS* In the Homeric Hymn to Hermes there occur two strangely and obtru- sively inconsequential episodes1, where we find the poem’s two main deities successively encountering the same anonymous old man. At vv. 87ff., Hermes, having purloined his elder brother’s cattle, is driving them through Onchestus when he comes across an old fellow tending his vines by the road side. The deity addresses him (vv. 90ff.) with a covert warning not to dis- close what he has seen and then moves off with the cattle. At vv. 184ff. Apollo, in hot pursuit, arrives at Onchestus, observes the same old man, and questions him (vv. 190ff.) as to whether he has noticed the cattle. The eva- sive reply comes back (vv. 201ff.) that it is hard to say, so many are the people who travel that particular road, but the speaker believes, though he cannot be sure (208 pai'da d∆ e[doxa, fevriste, safe;" d∆ oujk oi\da, noh'sai), that he did see a young boy with the oxen. At which Apollo hurries off on the trail. We would surely find these exchanges extraordinarily futile even without the provocation offered by the testimony of Antonius Liberalis Met. 232 to the existence of a variant version of events. According to this, the gods’ interlocutor was not anonymous but called Battus; he was more directly bribed by Hermes not to reveal the truth; and when a disguised Hermes returned to check on him and found him ready to blab (at a price), the god * In the notes that follow, ‘Herter’ refers to Hans Herter, Hermes: Ursprung und Wesen eines gr.
