4q364 & 365: A Preliminary Report, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 1992

4q364 & 365: A Preliminary Report, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

4Q364 and 365, part of the group of compositions (4Q364, 365, 366 and 367) provisionally entitled 4Q Pentateuchal Paraphrases, are part of the lot of Qumran manuscripts originally assigned to John Strugnell for publication. Strugnell, in 1989, asked me to join my colleague, Professor Emanuel Tov of the Hebrew University, in preparing these manuscripts for publication. This paper serves as an introduction and first statement on these manuscripts.

4Q364 and 365 are preserved on 20 plates of material, which contain about 150 fragments of text. The fragments range in size from two columns, preserving 15 lines, to fragments containing no …


The Ferrymen Of Elysium: Nostratic Eschatology And The Homeric Phaeacians, Erwin F. Cook Jan 1992

The Ferrymen Of Elysium: Nostratic Eschatology And The Homeric Phaeacians, Erwin F. Cook

Classical Studies Faculty Research

Belief that the Homeric Phaeacians belong to the afterlife is old; but its supporters have always found themselves in the minority. Friedrich Welcker, who first argued the point in 1833, held that the Phaeacians were ferrymen of the dead, and that Scheria was set in or near Elysium. Wilamowitz accepted Welcker's identification of the Phaeacians, and maintained that Arete and Alcinous were modeled on the underworld rulers Persephone and Hades. Rehearsal of the arguments advanced by these scholars reveals that the evidence has been incompletely and on occasion incorrectly applied; however, a modified version of their theory is still viable …

Dating An Ill-Fated Journey: Synesius, Ep. 5, Jacqueline Long Jan 1992

Dating An Ill-Fated Journey: Synesius, Ep. 5, Jacqueline Long

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Synesius passed his life as one of the most important men in Cyrene. He was born into a wealthy family that claimed descent from the founding Heraclids (e.g. Catast. 303A). On one occasion he was chosen as Cyrene's ambassador to the imperial court at Constantinople. During this period the revolts of Tribigild and Gamnas toppled Eutropius from seemingly absolute power behind Arcadius' throne; Synesius watched national politics unfold from a distinctive perspective, which he recorded in his De Regno and De Providentia. They are unquestionably important historical sources, but interpretation of them is complicated by the erudition and Neoplatonic philosophy …
