We tell our kids not to. They look so familiar, but looks can be deceiving. Who knows who these people are? Of course, the whole possibility of conversation depends on us not know- ing these people, on a certain constitutive opacity and hence danger. If the other were completely known to us, if the other were not estranged from us, there could be no conversation, indeed there could no meaning. For the absolute presence of the self to the other would not only eliminate the other, and hence the possibility of our exchanging meanings in a conversation, it would also eliminate meaning itself. The possibility of one thing referring to another, of language and signification, is that those things not be the same. Thus in a sense we are always talking to strangers, and we cannot be ourselves or form meaningful existences for ourselves outside that conversation. But at the same time, stranger danger is real. The other always threatens the integrity of the same, the possibility of identity. Richard Alston and Efrossini Spentzou offer us a conversation. It is one held between a variety of strangers, some stranger than others. It begins with the recognition that something strange is happening “in the historical period roughly defined by the reigns of Nero and Trajan (c.e. 54–117).” In the texts of what in a more self-confident time were known as “Silver Age” Latin literature—Lucan, Statius, Valerius Flaccus, Seneca, Tacitus, and Pliny—there is an evident unease. Latecomers in an age of relative peace and stability, immensely talented heirs of an immense tradition, they seek to carve out a place for themselves in the conversation that had become Latin literature. But when the script had already been written, on the political level ix x SERIES Editors’ FOREWORD by Augustus and his successors and on the literary level by Vergil, Horace, Livy, and the elegists, then how do you perform it with a degree of authen- ticity? One of the great problems, indeed, for the writers of the “long first century” is how do they perform Romanness authentically without falling into parody? This predicament is one that is not unfamiliar to the inhabitant of the postmodern condition. We too live in a world where there is no outside, no alternative order whose essence we are meant to perform. For Tacitus, Pliny, and Seneca, what was the alternative to the Roman imperial order? They had received it and they could judge it, but they could not step out- side it or remake it. They performed their status as civis Romanus always under the ironizing shadow of their own, structurally necessary bad faith. The citizen of the global economy faces the same dilemma: how to perform his or her own status as a citizen of the United States, the UK, Europe, or China, without falling into inauthenticity by accepting a Walt Disney com- modified version of individual and communal identity, or irony by assum- ing inauthenticity as the theme of one’s existence, or denial by adopting a fundamentalist refusal of that inauthenticity whether in its various religious or political forms. The Roman of the long first century thus becomes a good conversation partner for the postmodern reader: the inhabitant of a global system she inherited but did not make, who is consequently suspicious of the narratives that underwrite that system but still unable to replace them with new narratives no longer parasitic on the old. These Romans, then, are our intimate others. They are people we can talk to because they are not us, but though strangers, they are not unintel- ligible. Instead they occupy that middle position that Socrates in the Lysis says makes friendship possible. The wholly good man and the wholly evil have no need of friends. The completely good man as a self-contained and perfect whole has no need of any other. He is the principle of self-identity, really more a god than a man. The wholly bad man, in so far as he would reject all good things, would also have no need of friendship, which all agree to be good. The friend, then, like the conversation partner will always be in part a stranger, but still recognizeable: the good but not perfect man, the bearer of a certain resemblance to ourselves, yet not our simple reflection. Alston and Spentzou make the strong case that the Romans of the long first century could be such friends and conversation partners. As is common once we start talking to strangers, even while recognizing the dangers they present, their friends become our friends. The people whose conversation we already find most enriching in turn enrich the conversations of our new friends. In the case of Alston and Spentzou, these old friends, the friends from our own community, are Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and SERIES Editors’ FOREWORD xi Jean Luc Nancy, among others. This delegation is not invited here into the text as a panel of experts, whose modern “theory” will elucidate the obscure object of desire that is antiquity. They are not a crack team of pathologists in an episode of CSI: Rome. They are invited as co-doubters, co-interregators of the self and its histories; they arrive with their own aporias and full of unfinished arguments; they join this conversation not as privileged savants, but as something more like “concerned citizens” in this world of worry that links us to our Roman conversationalists. It is a strength of this book that Alston and Spentzou are not afraid of a conversation that bucks the settled confines of disciplinarity. Their threads of discussion wind through ancient texts spanning disparate genres, and pick up modern discussions already in progress. The reader will, for example, watch the panic of a falling emperor, consider the broad patterns of amicitia through Pliny’s letters, contemplate the figure of Lucan’s Caesar, and thence via Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, come face to face with the unique form of alienation the elite Roman of the first century faced: a discursive drought that left one caught between terms of friendship and mastery, susceptible to violent extremes (or at least their imaginative formulation), sudden loneli- ness, and social discontent. By looking to antiquity’s loose ends, cracked foundations, and imagined terrors, the authors thread through a labyrinth of moments they allow to irrupt with their own force, uncontained by a safety net that would reduce such irruptions to the merely historical. Reflections of Romanityserves this series well in that it offers an intelligent challenge to a settled pattern of antiquity’s construal in the modern self. Classical education was long enlisted in a project of modern self-fashioning (for which the German word Bildung sounds so much more apt than our “education”) that cast ancient culture as foundational, solid, natural, and especially clear. This is what supposedly made the ancients safe tutors for good European children for three hundred or so years. Hegel, as rector of the Gymnasium at Nürnberg, enjoined his audience to study antiquity as “the spiritual bath, the secular baptism that first and indelibly attunes and tinctures the soul in respect of taste and knowledge”; this study is not superficial, but requires an intense engagement so as to make us “at home in this [classical] world, the most beautiful that has ever been.”1 We are still, in a sense, struggling with this legacy of appropriation, where antiquity is that realm constituted in opposition to modern (and post-modern) doubt, corrosion, division, and dread. The human spirit, in Hegel’s view, develops from primeval nature and flowers in antiquity, emerging “like a bride from 1. Gymnasial-Reden, I: Am 29 September 1809; translation by Richard Kroner (G.

  • The Supernatural in Tacitus When Compared with His Predecessor Livy, Tacitus Has Been Said to Be Less Interested in the “Super
    The Supernatural in Tacitus When compared with his predecessor Livy, Tacitus has been said to be less interested in the “supernatural,” a rubric under which we include the prodigies and omens of traditional Roman religion; characters’ participation in forms of religious expression, both traditional and non-normative; and nebulous superhuman forces such as fate and fortune. In this panel, we seek to modify this perception by investigating aspects of the superhuman, religious, and/or inexplicable in Tacitus’ works that contribute in important ways to his historiographical project and to our view of Tacitus as an historian. As the most recent contribution on this topic shows (K. Shannon-Henderson, Religion and Memory in Tacitus’ Annals. Oxford, 2019), religion and its related fields are extremely important to Tacitus’ narrative technique, and ‘irrational’ elements such as fatum and fortuna are constantly at play in Tacitus’ works, particularly, but not exclusively, in his historical narratives. Each of the five papers that we have gathered for this panel addresses these topics from different angles, whether focusing more on the literary, historical, or linguistic elements of the Tacitean narrative under examination. Two papers focus on omens and other ways of predicting the future; two examine religious experiences of Tacitus’ characters; and one considers the role of fortuna in the world of the Dialogus. In the first paper, Contributor #1 examines the value of observing supernatural signs for decision-making in the Histories. In particular, s/he looks at the practical value of observing and interpreting supernatural signs as predictors of the future success or failure of military leaders.

(7Wuydi&ds I, 22). THE absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest; but if it be judged useful by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it, I shall be content. (Crawley's translation.) A HISTORIAN has remarked that the confused data from antiquity and the limitations of the psycho-medical sciences make it difficult to draw a picture of Claudius at once satisfying to the historian, the physician and the psycho- logist.' This could be said of all the Julio-Claudian emperors. Controversy has raged mostly over Tiberius and Claudius. Suetonius saw in Tiberius the archetype of the cruel despot, in Gaius (Caligula) the savage monster, in Claudius the fool and weakling, and in Nero the scoundrel. Tacitus, whose books on Gaius' reign are lost, and Cassius Dio painted them in more or less the same colours. To Tacitus, Tiberius was a hypocrite and criminal; Claudius had a weak mind,2 Gaius mental disorder.3 But Dio granted that Claudius, though sick in body so that his head and hands shook slightly, was by no means inferior in mental ability;4 and Pliny the Elder, a contemporary, had a high opinion of his learning and cited him four times as an authority.5 Despite the generally unfavourable picture oftheprinceps drawn bythe ancient writers the admiTnistrative machinery functioned for the most part efficiently and the empire ofAugustus was consolidated; most ofits citizens were content; opposition came from a restricted circle.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the fîlm along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been fîlmed, you will And a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a defînite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Women in Livy and Tacitus By Stephen Prevoznik Prevoznik 1 Introduction Livy and Tacitus are both influential and important Roman authors. They have written two of the most influential histories of Rome. Livy covers from the founding of Rome until the Reign of Augustus. Tacitus focuses on the early empire, writing from the end of Augustus’ reign through Nero. This sets up a nice symmetry, as Tacitus picks up where Livy stops. Much has been written about the men they include, but the women also play an important role. This essay plans to outline how the women in each work are used by the authors to attain their goals. In doing so, each author’s aim is exposed. Livy: Women as Exempla Livy’s most famous work, Ab Urbe Condita, is meant to be read as a guide.

  • Callimachus and Callimacheanism in the Poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Callimachus and Callimacheanism in the Poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Greek and Latin School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Matthew Alexander Theris Poulos Washington, D.C. 2019 Callimachus and Callimacheanism in the Poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus Matthew Alexander Theris Poulos, PhD Director: William McCarthy, PhD In this study, I analyze the poetics of Gregory of Nazianzus (ca. 330–390 AD), who was one of the first Christian poets writing in Greek to leave an extensive corpus of poetry (about 17,000 lines). Gregory work is striking not only for its breadth but also for its wide variety of themes and metrical schemes. As my focal point, I have chosen Gregory’s reception and adaptation of the poetry and poetics of Callimachus of Cyrene (ca. 290–230 BC). Callimachus was the first poet in the western tradition to enunciate an aesthetic and came to typify for subsequent authors an approach to poetry that privileged finely-wrought, compressed, and erudite compositions. I argue that for Gregory, Callimachus’ works are more than simply one more source to exploit for nice turns of phrase; rather, Callimachus pervasively shapes Gregory’s entire approach to poetic composition. This is seen not only in Gregory’s allusions to Callimachean works, which are numerous and occur quite frequently in programmatic contexts, but also in features of Gregory’s work like poikilia (variety) and a strong authorial persona that have their best precedent in Callimachus’ variegated oeuvre.

    PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2020-2021 Dear Families, Rising Tide Charter Public School (Rising Tide) offers a choice in public education to families. While Rising Tide has many components that families would expect in a middle and high school, there are also many unique aspects to the program at Rising Tide. Our school culture is centered around trust, honesty, respect and responsibility; our staff and students work together to create an environment that is safe physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Our teachers are devoted to creating the best education possible for all children, including those who have excelled in school as well as children who have struggled in school. At Rising Tide, the adults work hard to know each child. In such an environment, we are able to focus our attention on teaching and learning, where students can develop the self-confidence to take risks, ask questions, and work to find solutions. Central to the identity of our school program is our approach to teaching and learning. At Rising Tide, we use an inquiry and skills-based approach, for both personal and academic growth. The inquiry and skills-based approach is used to support personal growth by encouraging students to reflect, take ownership for their actions, and build skills to resolve conflicts. Questioning is at the heart of the inquiry and skills-based approach. When a challenging social or disciplinary issue arises with a student, the adult takes time to listen to and question the student about the situation. In this way, the student is given an opportunity to reflect upon the situation and is supported in the process of understanding and resolving the issue.
