  • Steadfast and Shrewd Heroines: the Defence of Chastity in the Latin Post-Nicene Passions and the Greek Novels

    Steadfast and Shrewd Heroines: the Defence of Chastity in the Latin Post-Nicene Passions and the Greek Novels

    Steadfast and shrewd heroines: the defence of chastity in the Latin post-Nicene passions and the Greek novels ANNELIES BOSSU Ghent University 1. Introduction Over the past decades, the disparaging opinion of the Greek ‘ideal’ novels which goes back to at least Rohde’s pioneer modern study of 18761 has been abandoned: they are no longer viewed as literary inferior texts. Together with this renewed and favourable attention, research into the novels’ inter- connections with other ancient narrative texts increased. Unsurprisingly, the interplay with the Roman novel was explored. It has been argued that Petro- nius parodied the Greek novels2 and attention has been drawn to thematic and structural correspondences between the Greek novels and both Apuleius’ Metamorphoses3 and the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri.4 Whereas the Chris- tian overtone in the latter work is debated,5 the novels’ interaction with ————— 1 Rohde 1876. 2 This thesis was first raised by Heinze in 1899 and has received wide acceptance since, see e.g. Conte 1996, esp. 31-34 on his adaptation of Heinze’s thesis. For objections against the thesis, see Morgan 2009, 40-47. 3 See e.g. the contributions of Brethes, Frangoulidis, Harrison, and Smith to Paschalis, Frangoulidis, Harrison, Zimmerman 2007. 4 See Schmeling 20032, 540-544 on both similarities and dissimilarities between the Histo- ria Apollonii (HA) and the Greek novels, especially Xenophon of Ephesus’ Ephesiaca. 5 On the HA as a Christian product, see Kortekaas 1984, 101-106, 116-118, and 2004, 17- 24, and Hexter 1988, 188. For objections against the Christian overtone, see Schmeling 20032, 531-537.

    The Cathedral Priory of St. Andrew, Rochester

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE CATHEDRAL PRIORY OF ST. ANDREW, ROCHESTER By ANNE M. OAKLEY, M.A. THE church of St. Andrew the Apostle, Rochester, was founded by Ethelbert, King of Kent, as a college for a small number of secular canons under Justus, Bishop of Rochester, in A.D. 604. Very httle is known about the history of this house. It never seems to have had much influence outside its own walls, and though it possessed considerable landed estates, seems to have been relatively small and poor. It also suffered at the hands of the Danes. Bishops Justus, Romanus, Pauhnus and Ithamar were all remarkable men, but after Bishop Putta's transla- tion to Hereford in 676, very Httle is heard of Rochester. Their bishop, Siweard, is not mentioned as having been at Hastings with King Harold as were many of the Saxon bishops and abbots, and the house put up no opposition to William I when he seized their lands and gave them to his half brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, whom he had created Earl of Kent. The chroniclers say that the house was destitute, and that, when Siweard died in 1075, it was barely able to support the five canons on the estabHshment.1 Four years after his conquest of England, Wilham I invited his friend Lanfranc, Prior of Caen and a former monk of Bee in Normandy, to be bis archbishop at Canterbury. Lanfranc's task was specific: to reorganize EngHsh monasticism on the pattern of Bee; to develop a strict cloistered monasticism, but one of a kind that was not entirely cut off by physical barriers from the Hfe of the rest of the church.

    THE ASTONISHING MISSIONARY JOURNEYS OF THE APOSTLE ANDREW George Alexandrou, international reporter, writer, and political commentator, on his thou- sand-page book in Greek, He Raised the Cross on the Ice, exploring the sources, traditions, routes and cultures of St. Andrew’s apostolate. George’s own enthusiasm and love for St. Andrew made our long months of working together more than an assignment, it became a shared pilgrimage. BEGINNINGS RTE: George, please tell us about your background and how you began this epic project of reconstructing St. Andrew’s journeys. GEORGE: Yes, but before I begin, I have to say that at certain times in my life I’ve been very blind. I can speak about the Taliban, about international pol- icy, about government leaders, but I’m not righteous enough to speak or write about St. Andrew. This is how I feel and I must say so at the beginning. My background is that I went to the university as one of the best students in Greece, but dropped out to become a hippie and a traveler, a fighter for the ecological movement, and then just an “easy rider.” When I returned to Greece, by chance, or perhaps God’s will, I turned to journalism and was Mosaic of St. Andrew, Cathedral of Holy Apostle Andrew, Patras, Greece. 3 Road to Emmaus Vol. V, No. 4 (#19) the astonishing missionary journeys of the apostle andrew quite successful.
