They form , been s id by Mr Jevons in his luminous introductory essay to the translation by ‘ a a f a a Philemon Holl nd , the e rliest orm l tre tise written ’ - on the subject of folk lore . The problems which Plutarch sets himself to solve range over a wide field nd a d a in Roman a It lian arch aeology . They e l with a a m tters of ritu l in the worship of the gods , the rules a a a a a a of ugury, us ges in m rri ge , buri l , public g mes and a ffi a a a festiv ls , the o ces of st te , the C lend r, customs and a superstitions of Rom n domestic life . Questions on such subject - matter as this could a a l ina d e h rdly f il to be deep y interesting , however ’ qu atel y they were treated ; and in Plutarch s treatment of them not the least ch arm is the geni al kindliness and spirit of broad tolerant wisdom in which he offers i f . s o ur a a his solutions There , co se , no ttempt to rrive at them by anything like modern scientific criticism he would h ave been nearly two thousand years in vi PREFACE advance of his time if he h ad been able to apply the methods of investigation which have been made am a P M ax Mii l l er or f ili r to us by rofessor Mr . J . G . r . r L a Fra zer o Mr And ew ng . His plan is rather to put forward the suggestions which have been made by such writers as he h as consulted , supplementing or correcting them by own a dl a theories of his ; both , it is h r y necess ry to f nd sa a a . y, being wholly f nci ul unscientific Nor does he seem to h ave selected for his authorities any of the writers whom he might h ave been expected to consult a before others . He does not quote single word from an of a a a and y the gre t cl ssic l poets Vergil , Ovid , Horace ; there is nothing to indicate that he ever ‘ ’ ‘ ’ E a opened the neid or the F sti , though he would h ave found in each a treasure - house of Roman folklore 1 and of religious and legal usa ges . Cicero is never men tioned Y u and as , nor Pliny the Elder or o nger to Livy, a wh o m a a . he y h ve sh red the opinion of Dr Arnold , thought that the chi ef use of reading him wa s like the of w a use the drunken Helot , to show h t ought to be a an a voided . His chief uthority is the tedious d T r . e entiu s a industrious M V rro , who spent his long life in compiling some six or seven hundred volumes of and a a history ntiquities , the gre ter p art of which are a happily lost . Plut rch m ay quite reasonably have ’ considered that Varro s undoubted cap acity for taking He deals of course with many p oints mentioned in th em ; but he n r r rs ir ct i h eve efe d e ly to e t er. PREFACE vfi p ains rendered him a more trustworthy authority than 1 wh o a a one , like Livy, s ys he is content if wh t is 2 probable be a ccepted a s true ; but the value of even ’ Varro s industry was largely discounted by a l ack of a a a R . V critic l cumen Plut rch himself, in Q , quotes an explan ation given by Varro which he considers and a wholly untrustworthy f bulous . O t w are are a her riters to whom we referred C stor, a Li arsean Anti stiu s Rufus , Curio , Jub , Pyrrho the p , a d I I a a n . L beo , Dionysius Of the first five regret h ve nothing to s ay ; I do not even know whether Pyrrho was of and the philosopher Elis , if he were , his merits u an u n a a wo ld still be to me nk own qu ntity .

Our interest is stimulated less by what is s aid than by what n a is left u s id . In the selection which I have m ade from the one hundred and thirteen questions on Roman customs and a I a a ntiquities , h ve confined myself lmost wholly to the problems of ritu a l and religion ; prefacing ' Plutarch s queries with a sketch of R om an and Itali an and a a beliefs , supplementing them with dozen extr questions on subjects which Pluta rch might have asked I a a a but did not . h ve tried in these l st to im gine what Plutarch would h ave written if he h a d lived in and h ad h a d a modern times , ccess to the sources of n a . as a modern i form tion If, is not unlikely, the ttempt h a s a a u not been f il re , the responsibility is with the authorities but with the la ck of skill in h andling them .

  • Abstract #1740
    4/6/2017 CIM | TPMS | Abstract #1740 English Framework for Evaluating Economic Impact of Asteroid Resources We report on the development of a framework for evaluating the impact of extraterrestrial resources on the cost of human operations in cislunar space. In our analysis we consider the development and operation of three alternative cislunar transportation networks, each based on fully reusable launch and in­space transportation vehicles such as planetary landers, upper stages, and Orbit Transfer Vehicles (OTVs). One of the networks is based on Earth supplied propellant, one on asteroid provided propellent focussing on LOX­LM systems, and one which uses asteroid derived water based solar thermal propulsion for in space transportation and LOX­LM systems for landed systems. Missions considered included development and ten years of operation of a lunar orbiting outpost; development and ten years of operation of a lunar surface outpost, human exploration of Near Earth Objects (NEOs), and human exploration of Mars through four Mars mission opportunities. Our analysis suggests a savings in excess of $200B over a twenty year program, enough to bring NASA's ambitions for human exploration within a politically feasible total agency cost cap of approximately $20B/yr. Peak year funding without large scale ISRU is found to be approaching $30B/yr in 2017 dollars for just the human exploration program even with the benefit of fully reusable systems and commercial development approaches. For the asteroid ISRU case, peak year human exploration program funding never exceeds $10B/yr. To independent cost models were applied and found to give results that agree within 20 percent.

In his letter to the Roman Christians, Paul calls for a conversion of behavior that resonates with and lends theological substantiation to the urgent calls of ecologists, climatologists, and others concerned for the wellbeing of the entire ecosphere. With a fundamental belief in the God who creates, sustains, and resurrects life, Paul’s message in Romans 8:19-22 urges Christians to align their lives with the liberation that God intends for creation and that Jesus Christ has inaugurated through his life, death, and resurrection.

These lectures were delivered in winter, 1971, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and in spring, 1972, at the American Academy in Rome. The infectious enthusiasm of Gerald F. Else, Secretary of the Jerome Committee and a friend of many years, and the kindness of John Griffiths Pedley and other colleagues made the stay in Ann Arbor a memorable experience. We are deeply indebted to the Jerome Lec­ tures Committee and to its Chairman, Dean Donald F. Stokes for their generous hospitality. The American Academy in Rome is a wonderful haven for scholars. It was a great pleasure to renew contacts with the devotees of Rome, young and, old, and to learn from the Roman colleagues of their new, exciting discoveries.

  • A Study of the Twice-Told Tales in Ovid's Fasti and Metamorphoses
    1 Beyond Persephone: A Study of the Twice-Told Tales in Ovid’s Fasti and Metamorphoses Emily J. Goode UCL – PhD 2 I, Emily J. Goode confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ______________________ 3 Abstract There are several narratives told by Ovid in both the Fasti and Metamorphoses and, excluding the rape of Persephone, there has been little or no analysis of them. This thesis is the first focused comparison of all of the twice-told tales in the Metamorphoses and the Fasti . This thesis presents a close-reading of four of the most substantial twice-told tales, the rape of Callisto, the rape of Europa, the apotheosis of Romulus, and the death of Hippolytus. We find that the Metamorphoses and Fasti are woven together with strong invitations to compare between the two texts. Broadly this thesis finds that genre and, in particular, interest in divine action is an important distinguishing feature between the twice- told tales; divine action being present to a greater degree in the Metamorphoses narratives. This thesis then surveys the remaining twice-told tales with an emphasis on their position within the text. Here we find that the twice-told tales are positioned so as to increase the intertextual pull between the Metamorphoses and Fasti . Comparison of the twice-told tales also reveals insights into the individual texts, and in this respect the Fasti , as the lesser investigated of the two texts, particularly benefits.

The chapters on Argos, Corinth, and Rome are based on papers read to the Oxford Philological Society in 19 13 and to the Bristol branch of the Classical Association in 19 14. As regards the presentation of my material here, it has been my endeavour to make the argument intelligible to readers who are not classical scholars and archaeologists. The classics have ceased to be a water-tight compartment in the general scheme of study and research, and my subject forms a chapter in general economic history which might interest students of that subject who are not classical scholars.
