The Case For Another Son Of P. Quinctilius Varus: A Re-Examination Of The Textual And Scholarly Traditions Around Joseph. Bj 2.68 And Aj 17.288, Daniel J. Crosby
The Case For Another Son Of P. Quinctilius Varus: A Re-Examination Of The Textual And Scholarly Traditions Around Joseph. Bj 2.68 And Aj 17.288, Daniel J. Crosby
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
This paper addresses the issue of the historicity of another, older son of P. Quinctilius Varus who is attested in Joseph. AJ 17.288, but not in the parallel version at BJ 2.68. Modern scholarship, as evidenced by Ladislav Vidman (1998) and Klaus Wachtel (1999), finds itself at a loss as to which opinion, that of Walther John (1958) or of Meyer Reinhold (1972), to support. Whereas John rejects the evidence for an older son of Varus in AJ and proposes L. Nonius Asprenas (cos. suff. 6 CE) instead, Reinhold tersely rebuts John, supporting the validity of the text.

Three Late Medieval Kilns From The Athenian Agora, Camilla Mackay
Three Late Medieval Kilns From The Athenian Agora, Camilla Mackay
Library Staff Research and Scholarship
This article presents pottery from three late medieval kilns excavated in the Athenian Agora in the 1930s. Wasters from the kilns provide important proof of the local production of lead-glazed wares that come into use in the early Ottoman period and are found in surveys and excavations throughout Attica and Boeotia. Some of this pottery has been identified as maiolica, but portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis has not indicated the presence of tin in the glaze. While distinctive in appearance, the pottery from these kilns seems to continue the ceramic tradition of earlier medieval Athens.
When I Walked The Dark Road Of Hades: Orphic Katabasis And The Katabasis Of Orpheus, Radcliffe Edmonds Iii
When I Walked The Dark Road Of Hades: Orphic Katabasis And The Katabasis Of Orpheus, Radcliffe Edmonds Iii
Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies Faculty Research and Scholarship
Accounts of the descent to the Underworld attributed to Orpheus have been presumed to provide privileged information about the Underworld from the first hand experience of the narrator Orpheus, giving such accounts a special eschatological significance (R. PARKER [1995]). The surviving evidence, however, suggests that accounts of katábasis in texts attributed to Orpheus are not in the first person, while accounts of Orpheus’ katábasisare not attributed to Orpheus (with exception of the allusion in the late Orphic Argonautica). The possibility that the Orphic katabáseis might have recounted the descent of Herakles or Theseus rather than Orpheus himself opens …

Talfourd’S Ion: Classical Reception And Gender In Nineteenth-Century Philadelphia, Lee Pearcy
Talfourd’S Ion: Classical Reception And Gender In Nineteenth-Century Philadelphia, Lee Pearcy
Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies Faculty Research and Scholarship
In mid-nineteenth-century Philadelphia, plays with classical subjects were nearly as popular as Shakespeare. Contemporary reac- tion to one of these plays, Thomas Talfourd’s Ion, or The Foundling of Argos, reveals its audiences’ expectations about gender on stage and in society. American audiences, unlike their English counterparts, expected to see the role of Ion played by a woman. Especially in the 1830s, actresses playing Ion faced audiences who expected to see their feminine qualities preserved. They were disguised as a boy on the edge of manhood, but to be successful, the disguise had to fail by preserving their essential character as …

Whip Scars On The Naked Soul: Myth And Elenchos In Plato's Gorgias, Radcliffe G. Edmonds Iii
Whip Scars On The Naked Soul: Myth And Elenchos In Plato's Gorgias, Radcliffe G. Edmonds Iii
Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies Faculty Research and Scholarship
Stripped of his regal robes and all the trappings of his worldly power, the soul of the Great King cowers naked before Rhadamanthys, who looks down upon the crippled wretch before him, disfigured like the basest slave by the marks of the whip and covered with festering sores. Many scholars (most importantly Annas, "Plato's Myths of Judgement," Phronesis, Vol. XXVII 1982, pp. 119-143) have interpreted this horrific image of the judgement of the soul from Plato's Gorgias as a threat of hell-fire designed to convince the skeptical Callicles that justice pays 'in the end.' Socrates' myth, however, does not supply …

Revisiting Indian Rouletted Ware And The Impact Of Indian Ocean Trade In Early Historic South Asia, Peter Magee
Revisiting Indian Rouletted Ware And The Impact Of Indian Ocean Trade In Early Historic South Asia, Peter Magee
Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Faculty Research and Scholarship
Indian Rouletted Ware pottery is the iconic marker of the overseas reach of the subcontinent at the turn of the first millennium AD. In the mid twentieth century this was naturally seen as prompted by the contemporary Roman Empire, while the later post-colonial discourse has emphasised the independence and long life of Indian initiatives. In this new analysis the author demonstrates a more complex socio-economic situation. While Greyware is distributed long term over south India, Rouletted ware is made in at least two regional centres for coastal communities using a new ceramic language, one appropriate to an emerging international merchant …

A Curious Concoction: Tradition And Innovation In Olympiodorus' "Orphic" Creation Of Mankind, Radcliffe G. Edmonds Iii
A Curious Concoction: Tradition And Innovation In Olympiodorus' "Orphic" Creation Of Mankind, Radcliffe G. Edmonds Iii
Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies Faculty Research and Scholarship
Olympiodorus' Commentary on Plato's Phaedo I.3-6 has been the linchpin of the reconstructions of the supposed Orphic doctrine of original sin. While Olympiodorus links the Titans' dismemberment of Dionysus and anthropogony, he does not include any element of inherited guilt, either in his narration of the myth or in his interpretation. Moreover, his telling of the-myth, which makes the anthropogony the sequel to the dismemberment of Dionysus, is an innovation made for the purposes of his own argument. Rather than preserving in fossilized form a sacred myth more than a millennium old, Olympiodorus concocts an innovative tale of his own.
