Georgic 3.41: A Vergilian Wordplay At The Expense Of Maecenas, John F. Makowski Jan 1985

Georgic 3.41: A Vergilian Wordplay At The Expense Of Maecenas, John F. Makowski

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Vergil mentions Maecenas by name in the opening lines of each book of the Georgics (1.2, 2.41, 3.41, and 4.2). While there may or may not be some special significance to the symmetrical positioning of the name, it seems likely that at least in one of the instances Vergil is making a word-play whose purpose it is to poke some good-natured fun at the personality of his dedicatee.

Persephone, Psyche, And The Mother-Maiden Archetype, John F. Makowski Jan 1985

Persephone, Psyche, And The Mother-Maiden Archetype, John F. Makowski

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

While the figure of the Mother Goddess has always fascinated students of Greek myth and religion (Vernant, 1965, 102-31), the subject has in recent years generated an enormous amount of scholarly literature which has illuminated the goddess’ role from a number of perspectives (Harding, 1971).* This expanding interest is due in part to exciting new developments in the fields of psychology, anthropology, and women’s studies, whose findings underscore the prominence of the Great Mother in the psychic and cultural life of humanity. Among the schools of thought that have produced some of the most provocative though not unchallenged ideas about …


Notes On Absentee Landlordism At Aphrodito, James G. Keenan Jan 1985

Notes On Absentee Landlordism At Aphrodito, James G. Keenan

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

In two recent articles, I tried to establish the existence in 6th-century Aphrodite of a cadre of local worthies who, in the system of village land management, while owners and acquirers in their own right, served also as middlemen for absentee landowners and for landowning churches and monasteries. One article centered on Aurelius Phoibammon, son of Triadelphus, the other, on Apollos, son of Dioscorus; but it was suggested in the second article that more than just these two Aphroditans filled this middleman role. A more limited case--because there is less evidence--might be made for Apollos' brother, Besarion; a stronger case, …


P.Laur. Iv 169: Fragmentary Constitution Of Constantine?, James G. Keenan Jan 1985

P.Laur. Iv 169: Fragmentary Constitution Of Constantine?, James G. Keenan

Classical Studies: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The editor in introducing the text points out the interest of its consular dating (A.D. 326) and the difficulty of making much out of the first two lines. It appears that the fragment's third and fourth lines are being construed as the dating clause from an otherwise ordinary Arsinoite document (intro. with nn, to lines 3 and 4); but there are some oddities that suggest that this is not so, and, further, that there is more to the fragment than first meets the eye.

Substances, Accidents, And Kinds: Some Remarks On Aristotle's Theory Of Predication, Frank A. Lewis Dec 1984

Substances, Accidents, And Kinds: Some Remarks On Aristotle's Theory Of Predication, Frank A. Lewis

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

A major feature of Aristotle's strategy against Plato in the Categories is to collapse the dichotomy that Plato's theory of (metaphysical) predication attempts to make between forms and sensibles. In Aristotle's theory, Socrates IS some of his predicables, but HAS others. He IS what is essential to him, and HAS the rest. These different relations between Socrates and his various predicables form a large part of the motivation for the further ontological distinctions that Aristotle draws in the Categories.


Parmenides On Naming By Mortal Men: Fr. B8.53ff. Vs, Leonard Woodbury Dec 1984

Parmenides On Naming By Mortal Men: Fr. B8.53ff. Vs, Leonard Woodbury

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

"They made up their minds to name two forms / Of which it is not right to name one, that is where they have erred." In the flickering of light and darkness that men recognise in what is the effect of their own actions there is discovered a kind of being, but one divided and turned against itself in contradiction.


Predication And Immanence: Anaxagoras, Plato, Eudoxus, And Aristotle, Russell M. Dancy Dec 1984

Predication And Immanence: Anaxagoras, Plato, Eudoxus, And Aristotle, Russell M. Dancy

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

A theory of predication invokes immanence if it explains why snow is white by introducing something that is in snow that accounts for its being white. Aristotle's theory of predication in the Categories is partly immanentist, see Cat. 2, 1a24-25. My object here is to shed some indirect light on this passage. I suggest that the comment is a disclaimer responding to an immanentist theory of predication under discussion in the Academy, according to which the something that is immanent in snow that makes it white is a physical ingredient. This theory was an idea of Eudoxus'. Aristotle was sympathetic …

Is agathon a pros hen equivocal? EN does not unambiguously endorse this idea, and it is difficult to defend. EE remains silent on the question.

Dryden's Virgil: Some Special Aspects Of The First Folio Edition, Arthur W. Hoffman

The Courier

This article relates the history of John Dryden's translation of Vergil's Aeneid, a first folio edition of which is located at Syracuse University Special Collections. Dryden's translation, written in seventeenth century England, reflected the tense polticial environment of the times, and competed with several translations from other writers.

Euripides And The Decline Of Character: A Soap Opera Connection, Emily A. Mcdermott May 1984

Euripides And The Decline Of Character: A Soap Opera Connection, Emily A. Mcdermott

Classics & Religious Studies Faculty Publication Series

To the Greeks of the fifth century, the heroes and heroines of myth, the villains and villainesses--even the sorcerers and monsters--were figures from history, or at least historical legend. Surely the sophisticated Athenian of the fifth century did not believe in a literal interpretation of Scylla and Charybdis any more than we do, nor that Odysseus actually underwent every single setback and adventure retailed in the Odyssey. But, just as surely, he believed that there had been an Odysseus, just as implicitly as we believe in George Washington or Richard the Lion-Hearted. Unlike us, however, he also had an intimate …


Theophrastus On Emotion, William W. Fortenbaugh Mar 1984

Theophrastus On Emotion, William W. Fortenbaugh

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

While Aristotle's treatment of emotion has in recent years received considerable attention, Theophrastus' work on the same subject has been mostly ignored. The reason for this neglect is that the relevant material has not been readily accessible, but with the publication of my Quellen zur Ethik Theophrasts that obstacle has been largely removed. Texts whose primary focus is emotional response have been brought together under the heading "Affecte" (L1-L11) and other relevant texts are included elsewhere in the volume. My purpose here is to call attention to this material and to use it to advance our understanding of Peripatetic work …


Ideals And Obligations In Plato's Ethics, Julius M.E. Moravcsik Mar 1984

Ideals And Obligations In Plato's Ethics, Julius M.E. Moravcsik

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

This paper has two main claims: First, it will argue that most of what is usually interpreted as Plato's ethics is concerned primarily with the establishing a Substantive Theory of the Good. Secondly, it will be shown that Plato's link between his STG and matters of obligation is a very close one, and cannot be analyzed along either utilitarian or Kantian lines.
