Not All Were Created Equal, Sarah Cox
Young Historians Conference
This paper explores the exceptional social, political and economic status afforded to women in Sparta by their society. Women were not simply relegated to the domestic sphere in Sparta, their responsibilities included managing both public and private affairs in the absence of their husbands, brothers and fathers. Their collective role in society allowed them to contribute to and serve their city state. It asserts that women in Sparta, unlike their contemporaries in other ancient Greek city states, had more opportunities to affect the overall impact of Sparta as a dominate military power.

Aristotle On Truth, Facts, And Relations: Categories, De Interpretatione, Metaphysics Gamma, Blake Hestir
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Aristotle’s conception of truth looks like this:
TA-Schema: ‘S is P’ is true ↔ S is P.
TA-Schema(n): ‘S is not P’ is true ↔ S is not P.
By Tdf Aristotle need only mean that stating with respect to some property P that is in the case some subject S that P is in the case of S, is what amounts to truth. More precisely then for Aristotle the TA-Schema would amount to:
TA-Schema*: ‘S is P’ is true ↔ the universal P is instantiated in the case of S. TASchema( n)*: ‘S is not P’ is true ↔ …

Climate And Teleology In Aristotle's Physics Ii.8, 2011 Seattle University
Climate And Teleology In Aristotle's Physics Ii.8, Yancy Hughes Dominick
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
Weather, including rain, happens as a result of natural and teleological processes, but that is compatible with the claim that rain falls not for the sake of something, but of necessity, and any benefit from the rain comes by chance. Aristotle need not embrace the conclusion, therefore, that it rains for the sake of the crops. Climate, on the other hand, is regular and beneficial. If the disjunct from Physics II.8 holds, climate ought to be for the sake of something even while rain is not.

Justice As Self-Transmitting Power And Just Acts In Republic 4, 2011 Saint Joseph's University
Justice As Self-Transmitting Power And Just Acts In Republic 4, Andrew Payne
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
In his influential paper “A Fallacy in Plato’s Republic,” David Sachs charged Plato with committing a fallacy of irrelevancy. Plato’s Socrates is asked to show that justice understood as acting in conformity with conventional morality, so-called vulgar justice, is beneficial to the just person. Socrates actually demonstrates something else, namely that psychic justice, a state of internal harmony between parts of the soul, is beneficial to its possessor. A generation of Plato scholarship has reacted to Sachs’ reading of the Republic by using discussions of moral psychology and education elsewhere in the dialogue to bridge the gap between psychic justice …
The Effect Of Misogyny On The Persecution Of Women As Practitioners Of Magic In Ancient Greece, Rome, Medieval And Early Modern Europe, 2011 Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH
The Effect Of Misogyny On The Persecution Of Women As Practitioners Of Magic In Ancient Greece, Rome, Medieval And Early Modern Europe, Mark J. Mangione
Honors Bachelor of Arts
This paper will look at the history of magic from the time of the ancient Greeks, to its development and integration into the culture of the Romans, and finally its evolution, downfall, and outlawing in the Medieval and Early Modern Europe. More specifically, this paper intends to focus upon the gender of practitioners of magic. There is a discrepancy between classical literature and non-literary sources of who actually were practitioners of magic. Women prevail as practitioners in Greek and Roman literature but non-literary sources say that men too were practitioners of magic. Glimpses of misogynistic thoughts can be found in …
Studies On The Reception Of Plato, 2011 University of Cyprus
Studies On The Reception Of Plato, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
This collection of essays focuses on the reception of Plato and Greek political thought in the work of some major (pre)Victorian classical scholars and expands on a remarkable range of hotly debated issues on the interpretation of Greek antiquity. The central figure in this volume is the radical philosopher, utilitarian, and Platonist George Grote, whose works on the history of Greece and Plato moved away from traditional models of classical interpretation. His works and their background are critically explored in light of his philosophical commitment and political radicalism. Article IV brings to light a forgotten manuscript by Grote, "On the …
Distortions In The Historical Record Concerning Ager Publicus, Leges Agrariae, And The Gracchi, 2011 Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH
Distortions In The Historical Record Concerning Ager Publicus, Leges Agrariae, And The Gracchi, Maria Therese Jeffrey
Honors Bachelor of Arts
In this thesis, I examine some tales of the earliest leges agrariae as reported by Livy and Dionysus because the motifs they employ in telling these stories are seen in the Gracchan tales as well. In addition, no discussion of the Gracchi is complete without some consideration of what kind of land they aimed to redistribute and who would benefit. Plutarch and Appian do not go into detail about ager publicus or previous leges agrariae and secondary scholars might unconsciously ignore them in turn. Therefore, I examine ager publicus and leges agrariae for a fuller understanding of the importance of …

Law, Philosophy, And Civil Theodicy: An Interpretation Of Plato's Epinomis, 2011 Ouachita Baptist University, Department of Political Science
Law, Philosophy, And Civil Theodicy: An Interpretation Of Plato's Epinomis, Steven Thomason
Presentations and Lectures
Scholars have mostly neglected Plato’s Epinomis. To my knowledge no one has attempted an interpretation of the dialogue as a whole in recent memory. In part this is because some scholars have argued that the Epinomis was not written by Plato. However, this is not the opinion of many prominent Plato scholars of the last century and a half. For example, George Grote, Paul Friedlander, A.E. Taylor, and Paul Shorey all considered it an authentic Platonic dialogue. Additionally, its authenticity was hardly doubted by ancient commentators. The main argument made for its not being authentic is not interpretational but alleged …
Shame And Conflict - Lysis's Philosophical Akrasia, 2011 Utrecht University
Shame And Conflict - Lysis's Philosophical Akrasia, L. Albert Joosse
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
We will see a conflict within Lysis between his newly stimulated love for wisdom and his habitual self-restraint. Born and raised an aristocrat, Lysis experiences conflict when his mind is enticed outside its wonted limits. What he experiences is, in fact, shame of himself: he notices that part of him falls short of the ideal he has been brought up with and to which part of him still adheres. His is a philosophical akrasia.

Cassius Dio's Livia And The Conspiracy Of Cinna Magnus, Eric Adler

The dialogue between Livia and Augustus about the conspiracy of Cinna Magnus (Dio 55.14-22) subtly undermines Livia, portraying her clemency as Machiavellian, in a manner consistent with Dio’s view of powerful women.

Lies, Lyres, And Laughter: Surplus Potential In The Homeric Hymn To Hermes, 2011 Butler University
Lies, Lyres, And Laughter: Surplus Potential In The Homeric Hymn To Hermes, Christopher Bungard
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This paper seeks to reevaluate scholarly responses to the laughter in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes. Using Zupančič's recent work on comedy, I argue that Hermes intentionally exploits surplus potentials that emerge from splits in the perceived unity and completeness of Zeus's cosmos. Through surpluses (a tortoise-lyre, a baby cattle rustler, a baby master of legal speech), Hermes is able to attain his place among the Olympians. The laughter of the audience is one final expression of this acceptance of Hermes and his potential.

Concepts Of Intellectual Property In The Roman Tradition, 2011 San Jose State University
Concepts Of Intellectual Property In The Roman Tradition, Erin Guldiken, Marianina Demetri Olcott
Dr. Marianina Olcott and Erin Guldiken
The current study concerns concepts of intellectual property in the Roman tradition first century BCE through forth century CE. It complements a previous study published in the Journal of the Copyright Society of the USA (Summer 2002, vol.49, No.4) which dealt with ancient Athenian concepts of intellectual property. The current study as in the earlier study of the Athenian tradition shows that ancient concepts of intellectual property are remarkably similar to modern concepts, as embodied in American case law (Title 17) and guidelines on plagiarism formulated by the modern academic establishment. Our plan of investigation is as follows: First we …
