No project of this magnitude or emotional energy can be completed alone, and I have many, many people to thank. I want to start by offering thanks to my dissertation committee: Paula Perlman, Cristina Carusi, Thomas Palaima, Stephen White, and Paul Woodruff. Thank you for all your support along the way and for the time and careful attention that you dedicated to the final product. I want to offer a special thank you to my supervisor, Paula Perlman, for all that she has done to see this project through, sticking with me through what at times seemed a lost project, especially in these last few months as everything has come rather rapidly together. Your wisdom and instruction have shaped me into the scholar that I am today. Thank you also to all the members of the Department of Classics at the University of Texas at Austin. A big thank you to all my professors; your guidance and instruction has brought me to this point. Special thanks to Deborah Beck; my teaching has benefited immensely from your open-door policy. Thank you to our amazing staff: Beth Chichester, Vanessa Noya, and Khoa Tran. Thank you to the many graduate students who have helped me on this journey, especially the members of my cohort: Paul Hay, Amy Lather, and Evan Rap. We made it! Thank you especially to Evan, who has been not only a great colleague, but a very dear friend. Graduate school is a difficult time for many reasons and it has been my honor and privilege to work and grow through it with you. Thank you to the family and many friends who have supported me through this journey. To my parents, Larry Yarbrough and Amy Hastings; to my brother and sister-in- v law, Andrew Yarbrough and Rebecca West; to my Georgia parents, Thomas and Dawn Roach; thank you for all the love and support that you have shown me over the past several, difficult years. Dad, the time that you spent with me in March 2018 was indispensable to the completion of this project and, though a difficult time, one that I will always cherish. Thank you also to all my Alabama family, especially my grandparents, Joseph and Betty Hastings; I look forward to many Lake Place celebrations. The friends who have supported me are too numerous to list here, but I want to extend special thanks to Bruce Eldrige, my Chemical Engineering Advisor, and Kathleen Dyre for the love and support you have given to Bailee and me through the past few years that have been full of both joy and pain. I also want to give thanks to all those who instilled me with the love of Classics: Magistra (Marge Drexler) and Frankie Dunleavy for introducing me to the love of Latin, and to Pavlos Sfyroeras, whose Introduction to Classical Literature class in the fall of 2002 set me on the path to a graduate degree in Classics. Thank you also to my undergraduate teachers, Deborah Roberts and Radcliffe Edmonds, who nourished that love at Haverford College. Thank you to Gabie and Shep for the unconditional love and slobbery kisses that only you two can provide! I promise to take you for more W-A-L-K’s now that this is done. Lastly and most importantly, thank you to my wife, Dr. Bailee Yarbrough. Without you this day would not be possible. You continue to motivate and inspire me with your strength, wisdom, passion, and love. Here’s to life beyond graduate school and dissertations! Let the adventure begin! Austin, Texas August 24, 2018 vi Xenophon on Athens: Between Democracy and Oligarchy Colin Warner Yarbrough, Ph. D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2018 Supervisor: Paula J. Perlman This dissertation explores Xenophon’s view of Athenian political society and governance during the 5th-4th centuries BCE. Xenophon has often been portrayed in scholarship as an uncritical conduit of traditional conservative, aristocratic thought: hostile to democracy and the Athenian demos and in favor of oligarchy. It is the argument of this dissertation that this interpretation of Xenophon’s view of Athens is overly simplistic and often inaccurate. Xenophon is not limited to a single ideological perspective in his treatment of Athens; instead, he takes a broad approach to looking at the strengths and weaknesses of his home city. By analyzing Xenophon’s life and times, I challenge the reductive view of Xenophon as a creature of his class, drawing particular attention to the variety of influences—individuals, places, and events—that likely shaped his thought. To show the complexity of Xenophon’s thought regarding democracy and Athens, I explore some of the reasons that Xenophon has been considered a proponent of oligarchy, including his writings on political constitutions, Sparta, and the Socratic theory of rulers and ruled. Additionally, I show that his narrative of Athenian history at the end of the 5th century BCE, recorded in the Hellenika, presents a consistent set of problems in Athenian governance, related to the behavior and intentions of the political class, that exists both under the Athenian democracy and the oligarchic regime of the Thirty. Finally, I examine Xenophon’s use of the terms kalokagathia and kaloi kagathoi. Rather than justifying the vii status of aristocrats or the partisans of oligarchy, as has sometimes been argued, his conception of kalokagathia seeks to make the kaloi kagathoi compatible with Athenian democracy and encourages them to contribute to the community. For Xenophon, kalokagathia is a virtue that combines Socratic morality with the knowledge of statecraft; he wants his kaloi kagathoi to be both good citizens and good leaders for democratic Athens. viii Table of Contents Table of Contents ................................................................................................... ix Notes ...................................................................................................................... xi Introduction ..............................................................................................................1 i.

  • Arsenokoités and Malakos: Meanings and Consequences by Dale B
    Arsenokoités and Malakos: Meanings and Consequences by Dale B. Martin The New Testament provides little ammunition to those wishing to condemn modern homosexuality. Compared to the much more certain condemnations of anger, wealth (sometimes anything but poverty), adultery, or disobedience of wives and children, the few passages that might be taken as condemning homosexuality are meager. It is not surprising, therefore, that the interpretation of two mere words has commanded a disproportionate amount of attention. Both words, arsenokoités and malakos, occur in a vice list in 1 Cor. 6:9, and arsenokoités recurs in 1 Tim. 1:10. Although the translation of these two words has varied through the years, in the twentieth century they have often been taken to refer to people who engage in homosexual, or at least male homosexual, sex, and the conclusion sometimes then follows that the New Testament or Paul, condemns homosexual "activity." Usually the statement is accompanied by a shrugged-shoulder expression, as if to say, I'm not condemning homosexuality! I'm just reading the Bible. It's there in the text. Such protestations of objectivity, however, become untenable when examined closely. By analyzing ancient meanings of the terms, on the one hand, and historical changes in the translation of the terms on the other, we discover that interpretations of arsenokoités and malakos as condemning modern homosexuality have been driven more by ideological interests in marginalizing gay and lesbian people than by the general strictures of historical criticism. In the end, the goal of this chapter is not mere historical or philological accuracy.

  • The Bible, the Church, & Homosexuality
    FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL lthough the leading Christian churches in the United States continue to view homosexual behavior as outside the realm of appropriate Christian conduct, revisionist scholars within their respective communions cont- inue a campaign to re-interpret or ignore biblical teaching regarding homosexuality.

  • [Individuality and Love in Plato]
    Love and the Individual The Morality of Platonic Love and its Metaphysical Presuppositions by Hege Dypedokk Johnsen Thesis presented for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Supervised by Professor Øyvind Rabbås Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2011 II Suppose you were molding gold into every shape there is, going on non-stop remolding one shape into the next. If someone then were to point at one of them and ask you, “What is it?”, your safest answer by far, with respect to the truth, would be to say “gold”, but never “triangle” or any of the other shapes that come to be in the gold, as though it is these, because they change even while you‟re making the statement. Timeaus, 50a–b “That,” he said, “is my speech about Love, Eryximachus. It is rather different from yours. As I begged you earlier, don‟t make comedy of it…” Symposium, 193d III IV Abstract What is it that we really love when we love an individual person, and to what extent are we egoistical in the search for happy love? Moreover, what/whom should we love, and for what reason? I approach the subject “Love and the Individual” by analyzing Gregory Vlastos‟ two main charges against Plato‟s theory of love: Firstly, that Plato‟s theory fails to give a satisfying account of love directed from one individual towards another individual; and secondly, that it is essentially egoistical. Throughout the thesis I underscore the points considered vulnerable to criticism, and highlight the phenomena subjected to insufficient treatment.

    Greece: Ancient by Eugene Rice Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The institution of pederasty (paiderastia) was a conspicuous feature of ancient Greek public and private life. The gods had boyfriends. Poseidon desired Pelops, seduced him, and took him to Olympus in a golden chariot. Radiant Apollo loved Hyacinthus, the youngest and handsomest son of a king of Sparta, and taught him archery, music, divination, and all the exercises of the wrestling ring.

  • The Passions of the Good Citizen Aldo Mosca
    The passions of the good citizen Aldo Mosca The passions are forms in matter. Aristotle, De Anima. The passions are those things through which, by undergoing change, people come to differ in their judgments, and which are accompanied by distress and pleasure. Aristotle, On Rhetoric. Temper seems to pay some attention to reason, but to hear it imperfectly -- just as eager servants go darting off before hearing the end of what is said to them. Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics. 1. If Plato was an idealist visionary, Aristotle was the philosopher of reality and commonsense. He developed a theory of the soul as a set of faculties of human beings made out of matter against Plato's conception of it as an immaterial substance trapped in the body, and argued for the good life of the sensible citizen against the ascetic ideal of the philosopher-ruler. He did not reject the ethical prescription of the control of the passions by the rational will, but saw them -- as long as they were kept within reasonable limits -- as acceptable and positive aspects of a fully realized individual, the active member of the political community. Aristotle is indeed one of the few philosophers who were friends of the passions. His celebrated view of man as a "political animal" was somewhat outdated, to be sure, and even a little hypocritical, when he advanced it. It was then around 340 b.c.e. and Aristotle, after studying at Plato's Academy for twenty years, and after a few more years of independent research especially in biology, had been summoned to the court of Philip, king of the Macedons, to supervise the education of his son, Alexander.
