Oral Tradition And Literary Innovation In An Epigraphic Oracle: Claros And Caesarea Trocetta During The Antonine Plague, Ryo Nagao
New England Classical Journal
During the Antonine Plague, the Lydian community of Caesarea Trocetta consulted the oracle of Apollo at Claros and inscribed its response, which was exceptional in form and language. This paper argues that Claros drew on performative literature and oracular traditions to provide an authoritative and innovative response that mediated the distress of the client community. Polymetry, diction, and intertexts with Pausanias and Statius combine to enhance both the aesthetic and religious function of the text. This analysis contributes to the study of epigraphy as literature, the mechanisms of oracular institutions, and civic responses to pandemic.

The Bloom Of Atē: Women's Lives, Pain, And Metaphor In Sophocles' Trachinian Women, Casey Dué, Mary Ebbott
The Bloom Of Atē: Women's Lives, Pain, And Metaphor In Sophocles' Trachinian Women, Casey Dué, Mary Ebbott
New England Classical Journal
This essay explores recurring metaphors for pain in the Trachinian Women and argues that they gain their meaning from the experiences of the women Deianeira and Iole, to later express the physical pain of Herakles, which is further conceptualized as atē. These metaphors employ imagery associated with natural cycles, such as blooming flowers and ocean waves. The metaphorical connections between the women’s emotional pain and Herakles’ physical agony helps us to arrive at a fuller understanding of what is meant when Herakles concludes that he is “like a parthenos” and has been found to be female (1071 and …

The Rhetoric Of Imperial Felicitas As A Political Tool In Late Antiquity, Martin Shedd
The Rhetoric Of Imperial Felicitas As A Political Tool In Late Antiquity, Martin Shedd
New England Classical Journal
This article surveys the rhetoric of imperial felicitas (good luck) in Latin literature of the fourth and early fifth centuries in response to Erik Wistrand’s monograph Felicitas Imperatoria (1987). By including not only the emperor’s fortunes, but also the fortunes of the political community directly attributed to his presence or actions in its definition, it presents a more complete analysis of relevant political rhetoric. It demonstrates that the tropes of panegyric were manipulated by petitioners to facilitate political action. Finally, it concludes that the author of Historia Augusta intentionally subverts these tropes to envision a different political system for Rome.

An Aulete Takes Flight: The Iconography Of Music And Myth In A Myrina-Type Terracotta In The Mead Art Museum, Loren Isotalo
An Aulete Takes Flight: The Iconography Of Music And Myth In A Myrina-Type Terracotta In The Mead Art Museum, Loren Isotalo
New England Classical Journal
A Myrina-type terracotta figurine of a flying aulete held in Amherst College’s Mead Art Museum exemplifies a new body of evidence relevant to the study of ancient Greek music. I propose that this coarse figurine indicates possible musical funerary practices of Myrina and that the aulete may be a depiction of the god Eros. As the aulos inhabits a complex space in Greek social thought, a connection between Eros and the aulos would open up new ways of understanding how the ancient Greeks received and understood Eros as a god through music and sound.

The Life Of Terence, Revisited, Hannah Čulík-Baird
The Life Of Terence, Revisited, Hannah Čulík-Baird
New England Classical Journal
Suetonius’ biography of Publius Terentius Afer, i.e., Terence the African (c. 195-159 BCE), identifies the Roman comic poet as a former slave from Carthage, describing him physically as a slim man of medium height and “dark color” (colore fusco). Yet classicists have historically denied Terence’s blackness out of a belief that “humanistic” or linguistic excellence could not be reconciled with blackness and African identity. This article addresses the Eurocentric logic underpinning classical scholars’ treatment of Terence, ultimately affirming both the ancient and modern traditions which make legitimate claims on the black poet as an ancestral figure.
Out With The Old, In With The Young? Youth And Old Age In Vergil’S Eclogues And Georgics, Charissa Skoutelas, Anthony Smith
Out With The Old, In With The Young? Youth And Old Age In Vergil’S Eclogues And Georgics, Charissa Skoutelas, Anthony Smith
New England Classical Journal
Scholars have noted that Silenus’ entrapment by Chromis and Mnasyllos (Eclogues 6) and Aristaeus’ ambush of Proteus (Georgics 4) share distinct elements. Both passages portray youths forcefully binding an old figure with chains to compel a song. In comparing old Silenus and Proteus with the “boys” Chromis and Mnasyllos and “most daring of the youth” Aristaeus respectively, this paper traces such physical compulsion alongside the metaphorical confinement of Tityrus (Eclogues 1) and the Corycian senex (Georgics 4) to argue that Vergil mobilizes the clash of youth and senectitude to comment on the effects of literary tradition …
