Some sections of the Introduction to the present volume concern bk. 5 only; some concern both books; and some topics common to both books (Hdt. and Homer; Hdt.’s handling of Kleomenes and of Aigina) will be covered in the Introduction to bk. 6. Chronology will be covered in both volumes; for the distribution, see the Introduction, 3. For what is known or can be plausibly inferred about Herodotus’ life and travels, see S. West in Bowie 2007: 127–130. The groundwork for the commentary on book 5 was done as part of graduate (MA) teaching at University College London (UCL). In 2008–9, I taught books 5 and 7 jointly with Professor C. Carey, and in 2009–10, my last academic year at UCL, I taught books 5 and 6 on my own. I am grateful to Chris Carey for many insights and much shared enjoyment, and to all the students for their stimulating contributions. The text is an adapted version of Hude’s OCT, taking account of the changes which will be made by Nigel Wilson in his forthcoming replace- ment OCT and in his companion volume Herodotea. Wilson and I went through the text of book 5 in July 2012 and discussed, to my great profit, problem passages flagged up by one or other or both of us. I havealso exploited Paul Maas’s marginal suggestions, as published in Wilson 2011. I warmly acknowledge all Nigel Wilson’s help, and his willingness to make his material and conclusions available to me in advance of publication. My own apparatus is short and mostly confined to essentials. Richard Catling, Stephen Colvin, Esther Eidinow, Maria Fragoulaki, Alan Griffiths, Patrick James, Anne Thompson, Martin West and Stephanie West helped over particular problems. Chris Pelling read and commented very valuably on an early draft of the commentary. The General Editors, Pat Easterling and Richard Hunter, commented in great detail and with great patience on more than one draft of the entire work, Introduction as well as commentary, and the book is much better as a result of their tren- chant comments. Angus Bowie kindly gave permission to reprint his sec- tion on Hdt.’s language. Alan Griffiths helped with the proof-correction, and made valuable last-minute suggestions of substance, indicated by ‘AHG’. Everyone told me how lucky I was to be given Muriel Hall as copy- editor, and they were quite right. I thank her too. I am grateful to my college, All Souls, for electing me to the research fellowship which since October 2010 has enabled me to work simultaneously on this book and on a larger-scale commentary on the Alexandra of Lykophron. vii © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87871-5 - Therodotus Histories: Book V Edited by Simon Hornblower Frontmatter More information viii PREFACE Finally, I thank Oswyn Murray for undergraduate teaching at Balliol College Oxford more than forty years ago, as well as for his writings on Herodotus generally and on the Ionian revolt in particular.

Otherwise mere references are given, includ- ing, where possible, additional references (with ‘=’) to English transla- tions in sourcebooks or elsewhere. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87871-5 - Therodotus Histories: Book V Edited by Simon Hornblower Frontmatter More information ABBREVIATIONS I ANCIENT AUTHORS AND WORKS Abbreviations for Greek and Latin authors usually follow those in OCD 4, except that Th. is Thucydides, Diod. is Diodorus and Pol. is Polybius; and Greek not Latin spellings are generally used, thus Lykoph. (i.e. Lykophron), not Lycoph., but not when a Latin spelling is very familiar indeed (thus Aesch. not Aiskh. for Aeschylus).

  • Simon Hornblower, a Commentary on Thucydides, Volume II
    Histos () – REVIEW–DISCUSSION Simon Hornblower, A Commentary on Thucydides , Volume II: Books IV–V.. Oxford: Clarendon Press . Pp. xvi, . ISBN: - -X. I [Reading Thucydides offers] “the agreeable feeling as of turning a lock with a key: a gradual, reluctant giving way, but always functional, always achiev- ing its end,” said Friedrich Nietzsche in Wir Philologen , (, transl. Arrows- mith : ). One needs not only the right key for this complex lock, but several keys to open it, and sometimes the lock, or the key, or both seem rusty. Exegetes from antiquity have struggled with this occasionally madden- ing, often difficult author. The suffering scholiast, reaching the narration of Cylon, Pausanias, and Themistocles at .-, seems stunned to find that Greeks could read this passus as if it were (ordinary) classical Greek. He fa- mously comments on its clarity (σαφηνεία) that “here the lion smiled.” Thu- cydides wanted to make his reader work to understand his difficult thoughts about puzzling political sequences and barely conceivable military disasters, as in Sicily. The historiography replicates the history by not re-presenting the path as clear ex eventu. Events are wayward, sudden and unexpected, even contrary to sound reason, he comments more than once with a gen- eral’s fury or a historian’s satisfaction (ἀπροσδόκητον .., ἀµαθῶς, . ; ἄλογος, κ.τ.λ.). He avoids some types of simplification. My teacher A. E. Raubitschek once wrote on an elegant reconstruction of mine, Papier ist geduldig. Thucydides, however, resists the reader, his expectations, and he demands utmost efforts. This appears to have been conscious. Lorenzo Valla, Thomas Arnold, Poppo and Stahl, Classen and his Bear- beiter Steup, and Arnold Gomme, to mention but a few modern stalwarts, have elucidated the text of Thucydides, the historian from the Attic deme Halimous.

  • David Malcolm Lewis 1928–1994
    Copyright © The British Academy 1997 – all rights reserved Proceedings of the British Academy, 94, 557–596 David Malcolm Lewis 1928–1994 DAVID LEWIS, the outstanding ancient Greek historian and epigraphist of his time, died of myeloma at his home in Oxford on 12 July 1994, aged 66. Lewis was born on 7 June 1928 in Willesden, Middlesex (Outer London). His grandparents were all part of the Jewish immigration from the Russian Empire in 1883–1900, one from Warsaw, the rest from Lithuania. Little is known about the families, except for a probable connection with Aron Alexandrovitch Solts (1872–1945), member of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Control Commission, and friend and eventual victim of Stalin. Lewis’s parents were born in the United Kingdom and were edu- cated in good East London schools. His mother, the daughter of a furniture manufacturer with a small workshop, stopped her education on the verge of a degree course on deciding that she would not enjoy teaching. His father, the son of a general dealer, left school in his matriculation year in a fit of wartime restlessness, and after a brief spell in accountancy, spent the rest of his career with an auctioneering firm which he did much to expand, and which eventually took over the West End firm of Phillips. His memory for detail was encyclopaedic and legendary. In early married life he supplemented his income with book-dealing; the house was always full of books. Lewis himself started school in a local elementary school with classes of fifty, but transferred at eight to a small but efficient private school.

  • Where Is the Voice Coming From?”
    “WHERE IS THE VOICE COMING FROM?” QUERYING THE EVIDENCE FOR PAUL’S RHETORICAL EDUCATION IN 2 CORINTHIANS 10–13 by Ryan Scott Schellenberg A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael’s College and the Biblical Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Ryan S. Schellenberg 2012 “ ‘Where Is the Voice Coming From?’ Querying the Evidence for Paul’s Rhetorical Education in 2 Corinthians 10–13” Ryan Scott Schellenberg Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Biblical Department University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT Although it would be an exaggeration to speak of a consensus, a majority of scholars now sees Paul as a man of relatively high social status. Most often cited as evidence for such status is Paul’s putative education in formal rhetorical theory. The prevailing logic consists of two propositions: First, Paul’s letters can be analyzed according to the dictates of Greco- Roman rhetoric; therefore, Paul must have been well educated in rhetoric. Second, rhetorical education was available only among the wealthy elite; therefore, Paul must have been brought up in such circles. A number of scholars have observed that such argumentation fails to consider the extent to which rhetorical ability exists independently of formal education. But despite this general observation, there has been no attempt to determine whether the specific rhetorical competencies to which Paul’s letters attest admit of informal acquisition.

  • Hornblower's Thucydides
    Hyperboreus 18:1 (2012) Toshibumi Matsubara HORNBLOWER’S THUCYDIDES Simon Hornblower, A Commentary on Thucydides. Volume I: Books 1–3. Pp. xi+548 (Oxford, Clarendon Press 1991); Volume II: Books 4–5.24. Pp. xvi+520 (Oxford, Clarendon Press 1996); Volume III: Books 5.25–8.109. Pp. xix+1107 (Oxford, Oxford University Press 2008). Today Herodotus is perhaps more generally appreciated, certainly more generally loved, than Thucydides. Thus Momigliano, in his Sather Classical Lectures delivered in the years 1961–1962 (posthumously published as The Classical Foundations of Modern Historiography, Berkeley, 1990, p. 52). If indeed the twentieth century witnessed a resurgent Herodotus on both the historical and the literary fronts – a process of rehabilitation initiated by Felix Jacoby’s seminal article for Pauly–Wissowa – it was also the age of Thucydides Deconstructed – a process of demolition already presaged at the beginning of last century by Cornford’s Thucydides Mythistoricus. Yet barely half a century after Momigliano gave his Sather Lectures, we are beginning to learn to love Thucydides again. Anyone who wishes to know how this renewed love has come about, and what courses it is likely to take in the years to come, will never do without this book. Hornblower’s A Commentary on Thucydides, in three volumes, is the fi rst lemma-by- lemma commentary on the entire Greek text of Thucydides to appear, in any language to the present reviewer’s knowledge, since A. W. Gomme, A. Andrewes and K. J. Dover, A Historical Commentary on Thucydides (HCT), 5 vols. (Oxford 1945–1981).1 H.’s now completed commentary is a truly monumental achievement, spanning over eighteen years for writing and covering over two thousand, two hundred and twenty pages, about a thousand pages more than Gomme’s own 1262 pages and matching the 2298 pages of the entire HCT.

  • PETER FRASER Photograph: B
    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.

Colonization of Cyrene: A Historiographic Perspective By Robert Richards HST 499 Senior Thesis Professor Kimberly Jensen April 30, 2011 1 The colonization of Cyrene during the seventh century BC is among the extensively documented instances of colonization by ancient Greeks. Both Herodotus of Halicarnassus and Pindar of Thebes wrote of the personalities and events surrounding Cyrene‟s foundation. The inscription SEG ix 3 located on the marble „Stele di Fonditori‟ found at Cyrene describes various aspects of the colonization as well.1 Each of the three sources varies in the amount of detail it provides and the details included in each account, while similar in many respects, differ significantly. This paper seeks to examine and compare these sources with a view to determining their accuracy as far as possible within the parameters of this study. Necessarily, this exercise probes Delphi‟s role as the conveyor of Apollo‟s directive that Cyrene be colonized as it seems crucial for examining the city‟s post-foundation legacy.

  • Resources for the Study of the Classical World in the New Testament Era by Beth M
    BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY Resources for the Study of the Classical World in the New Testament Era By Beth M. Sheppard INTRODUCTION lassical studies is an auxiliary subject to the discipline of New Testament Studies. Many theological libraries are specialty libraries and cannot accommodate extensive collections in cognate fi elds when the religious C publishing industry itself produces so many reference works in the theological disciplines. Furthermore, many theological libraries have small staff s whose expertise may not extend to this and other cognate disciplines. One purpose of this bibliographic essay is to help theological librarians use their limited resources to acquire at least the best and most essential resources in classical studies. A second purpose is to call attention to the fact that many resources in classical studies, as in other disciplines, are now available in electronic format. Following the type of organizational scheme popular in bibliographic aids, recommended resources will be discussed by type, from dictionaries to collections of primary texts. When a paper resource has an electronic equivalent, attention will be drawn to that fact. If an online resource is “born digital” or is an online index that has essentially replaced a paper version due to superior functionality, it will be treated in the category with which its contents are most similar in terms of scope and format. 1. DICTIONARIES Th e best one-volume classical dictionary is Th e Oxford Classical Dictionary [OCD] (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2003). Th e third revised edition examined here was edited by Simon Hornblower and Antony Spawforth. Th e fourth edition, published in May 2012, added the editorial expertise of Esther Eidinow.
