Poetics Before Plato: Interpretation And Authority In Early Greek Theories Of Poetry, Grace M. Ledbetter

Combining literary and philosophical analysis, this study defends an utterly innovative reading of the early history of poetics. It is the first to argue that there is a distinctively Socratic view of poetry and the first to connect the Socratic view of poetry with earlier literary tradition.
Ananke In Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Ananke In Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Classics Faculty Works
This paper examines Herodotus' use of words of the ananke family in order to determine which external of internal constraints the historian represents as affecting the causality of events. M. Ostwald's "Ananke in Thucydides" (1988) provides a foundation for examining the more restricted application of these terms in Herodotus (85 occurrences vs. 161 in Thucydides). In Herodotus, divine necessity (absent in Thucydides) refers to the predictable results of human wrongdoings more often than to a force constraining human choices. This represents an especially ambiguous Herodotean category, however, and is expressed by a wider range of terms than those with ananke-stems. …

Telling Wonders: Ethnographic And Political Discourse In The Work Of Herodotus, Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Classics Faculty Works
Herodotus, the worldwide ethnographer and historian of the Persian Wars, provides a striking demonstration of how the account of past events of national history and the description of foreign peoples participate in the rhetoric of shaping attitudes about the present. Telling Wonders: Ethnographic and Political Discourse in the Work of Herodotus studies the narrative of the Histories in order to uncover the political message communicated to a Greek audience of the fifth century B.C.

The Epicurean Parasite: Horace, "Satires" 1.1-3, William Turpin
The Epicurean Parasite: Horace, "Satires" 1.1-3, William Turpin
Classics Faculty Works
We have learned a great deal in recent years about reading Horace's satires; there is now widespread agreement that the speaker of the satires is himself a character within them, a persona. Such a persona may be most effective when it has obvious connections with its creator, but that fact does not preclude the exaggeration of reality, or even its complete inversion. For Horace the implications of this approach are exciting: instead of a poet discoursing with cheerful earnestness on morality, on poetry and on his daily life, we have a fictional character, whom we do not have to take …

Herodotus' Use Of Prospective Sentences And The Story Of Rhampsinitus And The Thief In The "Histories", Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Classics Faculty Works
The "Histories" of Herodotus is analyzed in terms of performance rather than as a text to be read. Herodotus' discourse appears composed of different types of sentences or groups of sentences, which can be classified in terms of their different performative roles and force.
