Propertius On The Site Of Rome, Kenneth S. Rothwell Jr.
Kenneth S Rothwell, Jr.
The image of the site of Rome when it was hills, marshes and meadows, not yet spoiled by urban intrusion, was a favorite of Virgil and the Augustan elegists. In this paper I would like to examine the site as it appears in Propertius 4,1 ; 4,4 and 4,9. Although Propertius was following precendents from Tibullus 2,5 and Aeneid 8, his departures from the topography they mapped out need to be systematically examined.

A Depiction Of A Comic Mythological Burlesque?, Kenneth S. Rothwell Jr.

Kenneth S Rothwell, Jr.
The animal choruses of Greek Old Comedy appeared on stage for a generation or two, mostly in the later fifth century B.C., and then disappeared. What factors intersected to bring them about?

Kenneth S Rothwell, Jr.
Did the chorus disappear in the fourth century? Not exactly. An expanded version of this article appeared as a chapter in Gregory W. Dobrov, ed. Beyond Aristophanes: Transition and Diversity in Greek Comedy. American Classical Studies 38. Atlanta, GA: Scholars Press/American Philological Association, 1995, pp. 99-118.
Politics And Persuasion In Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae, Kenneth Rothwell
Politics And Persuasion In Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae, Kenneth Rothwell
Kenneth S Rothwell, Jr.
I now see that a title like "Sex, Women, and Politics in Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae" would have been more sensational--and also more accurate.

Also discussed are rhetoric and the response to democracy in this late play of Aristophanes.
