Cincinnatus And The Disbanding Of Washington's Army, Thomas Nelson Winter
Cincinnatus And The Disbanding Of Washington's Army, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
Who was Cincinnatus? It bespeaks a great loss of our own traditions that there is a great number of Americans who do not know. Cincinnatus was the favorite model of Roman virtue, frugality, integrity, and above all, of republican citizenship, even for the Romans themselves. He was the farmer who plowed his own land, the man elected consul in 460 B.C., the man called in 458 to the dictaborship - the supreme but temporary military command - to deliver the Roman consular army from the beseiging Aequian forces. Summoned from the plow, he saved the Roman army, defeated the Aequians, …
A New Prescription For A Lens To Homer: Review Of Robert Fitzgerald's Translation Of The Iliad, Thomas Nelson Winter
A New Prescription For A Lens To Homer: Review Of Robert Fitzgerald's Translation Of The Iliad, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
HOMER, The Iliad, translated by ROBERT FITZGERALD, Doubleday.
One of the best things about this version was Fitzgerald’s decision to use the purist transliterations: the effect of this is to invite the reader to read as if he had never read an Iliad before. A single newly thought‐out rendering can nudge the reader into new thinking about Homer, thinking which he otherwise would not have done. The ultimate way to experience Homer will ever remain to become at home in Greek. Then the experience is your own. But for the price of fifteen dollars you can experience Fitzgerald’s experience of …
Review Of New World Bible Translation Committee's The Kingdom Interlinear Translation Of The Greek Scriptures, Thomas Nelson Winter
Review Of New World Bible Translation Committee's The Kingdom Interlinear Translation Of The Greek Scriptures, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures. Translated by the New World Bible Translation Committee. Brooklyn, N. Y.: Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (International Bible Students Assn.), 1969 Pp. 1, 165. $2.00.
An original Greek text for two dollars is something of a miracle, and it should not surprise us that it took a world-wide group of Bible students to pull it off. This is no ordinary interlinear: the integrity of the text is preserved, and the English which appears below it is simply the basic meaning of the Greek word. Thus the interlinear feature of this book …
On The Corpus Of Lysias, Thomas Nelson Winter
On The Corpus Of Lysias, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
From CLASSICAL TIMES to the present, scholars have been rejecting Lysias' speeches. Their efforts are now complete. In the time of Dionysius of Halicarnassus the Lysian corpus included 425 speeches. Of these, Dionysius averred that "no fewer than 200" juridical orations were the work of Lysias. Including some nonjuridical speeches, he settled upon a total of 230 as genuine works. The scholarship factor and the usual accidents of transmission have left us but thirty-five. This includes two epitomes (orations 11 and 15), three extensive quotations in Dionysius' De Lysia ludicium (orations 32, 33, and 34) and the Eroticus from Plato's …
Idyllic Greek And Honest Verse: Review Of Daryl Hine, The Homeric Hymns And The Battle Of The Frogs And Mice: A Translation, Thomas Nelson Winter
Idyllic Greek And Honest Verse: Review Of Daryl Hine, The Homeric Hymns And The Battle Of The Frogs And Mice: A Translation, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
The editor chose to write poetry. He succeeded. I checked him against the Greek and found him accurate; I checked him against earlier translations and found him independent. I read Hine's English alone and found it poetic. I am impressed, nearly overwhelmed. The book is fun to read, just like the original.The material is captivating, too. It provides a vision of Man and the Olympians, idyllic narratives and comic ones. Many, like that of Aphrodite obliged to submit to her own power and to Anchises, deserve to become part of everyone's general cultural background. The Hymns (with the Frogs and …
Catullus Purified: A Brief History Of Carmen 16, Thomas Nelson Winter
Catullus Purified: A Brief History Of Carmen 16, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
“The obscenity of Catullus has long been a stumbling block,” writes C. H. Sisson. Carmen 16 probably offers more of an impediment to the translator than any other poem in the corpus. It seems also to have suffered more: coyly rendered, opaquely rendered, bowdlerized, and finally truncated through being misunderstood, this poem may show how some losses have occurred in the transmission of classical texts. An obvious difficulty is in the repeated first and final line. What can a translator do with it? Until recently, English as forthright as the Latin could never be printed. A variety of circumlocutions have …
Review Of Aldo Scaglione, The Classical Theory Of Composition: From Its Origins To The Present—A Historical Survey, Thomas Nelson Winter
Review Of Aldo Scaglione, The Classical Theory Of Composition: From Its Origins To The Present—A Historical Survey, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
This is more bibliothèque than book. A labyrinthine gold mine, but mapped. It presents theories and ideals of style and composition from Aristotle and Dionysius to Weil and Jespersen. Also Chomsky. The historic sweep stuffs them somehow between two covers, finding and interweaving illustrations for everything, while showing developmental lines. One can read this volume and then see one’s Vergil or Montaigne with new eyes and new appreciation.
Review Of Frank Regen, Apuleius Philosophus Platonicus. Untersuchungen Zur Apologie (De Magia) Und Zu De Mundo, Thomas Nelson Winter
Review Of Frank Regen, Apuleius Philosophus Platonicus. Untersuchungen Zur Apologie (De Magia) Und Zu De Mundo, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
This work examines the demonology of the Apology, De Mundo, De Deo Socratis, Florida, and De Dogmate Platonis in various aspects, noting places where De Mundo transmutes the meaning of its Greek model, the Peri Kosmou. These changes in meaning Dr. Regen shows to be systematic; they align the Latin version with Plato’s Symposium in places, and with Apuleius’ principles generally. Some changes may be illusory: does “rex omnium et pater” differ enough from ho panton hegemon kai genetor that conclusions can be drawn from the difference? Most changes, though, are more substantive. The sum is a useful …
Review Of A. R. W. Harrison, The Law Of Athens: Procedure, Thomas Nelson Winter
Review Of A. R. W. Harrison, The Law Of Athens: Procedure, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
For the topics covered, the book is a useful and thorough reference. The evidence is presented, and where Harrison goes beyond it, there is always fair warning (e.g., “on a priori grounds, one would have expected that,” or “we may suppose ...”). The book is full of discussion of the finer points, and the discussion is honest and undogmatic. Harrison would clearly have been a fine fellow to discuss the Attic orators with: I am sorry I shall not have the chance; I am glad that his colleague preserved this book for all of us.
A Protean Work: Review Of Anthony Burgess, Mf, Thomas Nelson Winter
A Protean Work: Review Of Anthony Burgess, Mf, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
The novel is a recasting of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Burgess’s love of language is becoming proverbial, and this novel is a philologist’s delight. Many of the words he uses as English are to be found in neither first, second, nor third edition of the unabridged. Browsing through dictionaries, including Classical Greek dictionaries, is part of the fun of reading this book, and was presumably part of the fun of writing it. It is crammed with significant names and with riddles, the first of which would have pleased the Sphinx, the answer to which is ingenious enough to be Oedipal. …
The Publication Of Apuleius' Apology, Thomas Nelson Winter
The Publication Of Apuleius' Apology, Thomas Nelson Winter
Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications
How did the text of Apuleius' Apology originate? The question has seldom drawn the attention of scholars. Those who have dealt with it simply assume that Apuleius worked out and elaborated upon whatever he had actually said in court and then had the finished version published. Paul Vallette thus assumes Apuleius must have reworked the speech. Adam Abt is so confident that the Apology was improved and augmented that he attempts to determine which sections would have been added for publication. Georg Misch writes: "He brilliantly defended himself ... and he then published a long and lively version of his …
