The Case Of Flavia Christodote: Observations On Psi I 76, James G. Keenan

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Of the three periods into which the study of the Greek papyri from Egypt has been traditionally divided – Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine – it has become commonplace to note that the last named receives the least attention. An assortment of reasons has been offered to explain this lack of interest, including "un préjugé défavorable aux époques dites de décadence." But whatever the reason or reasons, and despite the truth of the commonplace, it is equally true that most of the Byzantine texts and archives have attracted at least some attention (much more rarely has the whole range of the Byzantine …

The Literary Structure Of The Genesis Creation Story, Jacques Doukhan

Dissertations

Exegetical research on Gen 1 has been characterized since the 18th century essentially by a diachronic concern. Thus the Documentary hypothesis and the so-called Tatbericht-Wortbericht theory have been the two main starting points of any relevant scholarly study of this text. Recently, under the influence of contemporary literary studies, attention has been drawn to the validity of the synchronic approach, and more and more scholars have thus become aware of the importance of the liteary structure of this text. The latter has been dissociated from the thematic distribution of motifs; this tension has been explained in terms of different sources, …

The Psychomachia By Marcus Aurelius Prudentius, Translated From Latin With An Introduction, Peter Johnson

English Faculty Publications

This Masters thesis is an introduction to and prose translation of Prudentius’s Psychomachia. In the introduction, besides discussing personification allegory, I suggest that the synthesis of classical and Christian elements in the Psychomachia is a response to the historical phenomena of the times. The conflict between the Christian and pagan elements is important because it mirrors the action of the poem itself, in which the soul tries to cope with the presence of two battling opposite forces: the Virtues and the Vices. This internalized soul conflict is a personalized representation of 4^th Century Church history, during which intellectuals …
