The absence of religious demarcation and conscious group identity means the absence of any rigid frontiers against competing cults as well as the absence of any concept of heresy, not to mention excommunication.

Thus, the papyri include information about such things as taxes, government-controlled lands and labor, and the unique numismatic policies of the Ptolemies.

Chicago: Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, We have aimed for close cooperation between academics specializing in ancient China and the ancient Mediterranean.

Given that the Stadiamus was completed only a few years after the annexation of Lycia in 43 CE, it is likely that it did not reflect Roman improvements to the road network in Lycia, but rather that it reappropriated Lycian roads as Roman ones. The helots of Sparta were agricultural serfs, indigenous peoples conquered by the Spartans and forced to work their former lands for their Spartan overlords.

THE PORTRAIT OF HOMER IN STRABO’S GEOGRAPHY lawrence kim trabo’s geography, as anyone who has perused it will know, is suffused with a profound, nearly obsessive, interest in Homer.1 The S desire to demonstrate Homer’s knowledge of geographical informa- tion at every turn (even where it seems prima facie unlikely) is matched only by the determination with which Strabo “solves” notorious problems of Homeric geography such as the location of Nestor’s Pylos or the identity of the “Ethiopians divided in twain” visited by Poseidon.2 Strabo’s concen- tration on such arcana, often to the exclusion of more properly “geographical” material, has understandably exasperated many modern readers with different ideas about what constitutes geography. On the other hand, the overwhelm-

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02748-0 - Ennius and the Architecture of the Annales Jackie Elliott Excerpt More information Introduction In this book, I examine how our modern accounts of Ennius’ Annales have originated. I have sought to analyse, first, the consequences of how ancient sources transmit the fragments to us; and, second, the causes (where I thought I could discern them) and the consequences of editors’ decisions, especially those of Otto Skutsch, whose work represents perhaps the prin- cipal point of access to the Annales today, at any rate for the world of Anglophone scholarship. I have not sought to carry out editorial work myself, and this study has nothing at all to add in terms of textual criticism: for the fragments and their immediate contexts, I rely fully on the text as 1 Skutsch established it, with occasional glances across to the more recent 2 Italian edition of Enrico Flores and his co-editors. Likewise, for the quotation-contexts of the fragments, I rely on the standard editions of the quoting authors. While thus relying on their work, I have availed myself of freedoms that editors themselves have not always chosen to exercise: in particular, the freedom to consider at leisure and to articulate the nature of editorial choices; and the freedom to entertain competing constructions of the evidence, where – whatever doubts and limiting considerations they may entertain along the way – editors of fragments are eventually con- 3 strained by the nature of their task to privilege a single coherent account. 1 Unless otherwise specified, it is to Skutsch’s 1985 Oxford edition of the Annales that all line-numbers refer.
