Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great: An Exemplary Man in the Roman and Medieval World

April 12, 2024, 10:25 am

≫ Next: Die politische Philosophie in den frühen Dialogen Platons

From premodern societies onward, humans have constructed and produced images of ideal masculinity to define the roles available for boys to grow into and images for adult men to imitate. The figure of Alexander the Great has fascinated people both within and outside academia. As a historical character, military commander, cultural figure and representative of the male gender, Alexander’s popularity is beyond dispute. Almost from the moment of his death, Alexander’s deeds have had a paradigmatic aspect: for over 2300 years, he has been represented as a paragon of manhood – an example to be followed by other men – and through his myth, people have negotiated assumptions about masculinity.
This work breaks new ground by considering the ancient and medieval reception of Alexander the Great from a gender studies perspective. It explores the masculine ideals of the Greco-Roman and medieval pasts through the figure of Alexander the Great, analysing the gendered views of masculinities in those periods and relating them to the ways in which Alexander’s masculinity was presented. It does this by investigating Alexander’s appearance and its relation to definitions of masculinity, the way his childhood and adulthood are presented, his martial performance and skill, proper and improper sexual behaviour, and finally through his emotions and mental attributes.
Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great will appeal to students and scholars alike, as well as to those more generally interested in the portrayal of masculinity and gender, particularly in relation to Alexander the Great and his image throughout history.

Die politische Philosophie in den frühen Dialogen Platons

Wilhelm, Christian

Dieser Band bietet eine moderne, allgemeinverständliche Einführung in die politische Philosophie Platons. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, dass diese sich nicht erst in der Politeia und ab den mittleren Dialogen finden lässt, sondern dass die wesentlichen Grundsätze bereits in den Frühdialogen enthalten sind und diese somit - bei allen Brüchen im Spätwerk - auf die mittleren und späten Dialoge hinführen. Das expertokratische Politikverständnis, wonach der wahre Politiker über das politische Expertenwissen verfügen und die Kardinaltugenden besitzen muss, wird bereits in den frühen Dialogen entwickelt und in der Politeia, dem Politikos und den Nomoi konkretisiert und weiterentwickelt. Das große Ziel der politischen Expertise (politik ^e techn ^e) ist für Platon dabei nicht weniger als die Glückseligkeit des gesamten Gemeinwesens, indem die Mitbürger an der Seele so gut wie möglich gemacht werden. Deshalb müssen die Politiker Philosophen sein, denn nur diese verfügen über Weisheit (sophia) sowie die übrigen Tugenden und können demnach nicht von der Macht korrumpiert werden. Wichtig hierbei ist die Bedeutung der Dialektik und der Elenktik für die Seelenbesserung und damit für die politik ^e techn ^e, die in Bezug auf Platons politische Theorie oft übersehen und insbesondere in den Frühdialogen häufig demonstriert werden.

Contextualizing Premodern Philosophy: Explorations of the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin Traditions

This volume brings together contributions from distinguished scholars in the history of philosophy, focusing on points of interaction between discrete historical contexts, religions, and cultures found within the premodern period. The contributions connect thinkers from antiquity through the Middle Ages and include philosophers from the three major monotheistic faiths—Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
By emphasizing premodern philosophy’s shared textual roots in antiquity, particularly the writings of Plato and Aristotle, the volume highlights points of cross-pollination between different schools, cultures, and moments in premodern thought. Approaching the complex history of the premodern world in an accessible way, the editors organize the volume so as to underscore the difficulties the premodern period poses for scholars, while accentuating the fascinating interplay between the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin philosophical traditions. The contributors cover many topics ranging from the aims of Aristotle’s cosmos, the adoption of Aristotle’s Organon by al-Fārābī, and the origins of the□ Plotiniana Arabica to the role of Ibn Gabirol’s Fons vitae in the Latin West, the ways in which Islamic philosophy shaped thirteenth-century Latin conceptions of light, Roger Bacon’s adaptation of Avicenna for use in his moral philosophy, and beyond. The volume’s focus on "source-based contextualism" demonstrates an appreciation for the rich diversity of thought found in the premodern period, while revealing methodological challenges raised by the historical study of premodern philosophy.
Contextualizing Premodern Philosophy: Explorations of the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin Traditions is a stimulating resource for scholars and advanced students working in the history of premodern philosophy.

Religious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri: 3rd—12th Century Egypt

≪ Previous: Contextualizing Premodern Philosophy: Explorations of the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin Traditions

Religious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri: 3rd—12th Century Egypt

This volume provides novel social-scientific and historical approaches to religious identifications in late antique (3rd–12th century) Egyptian papyri, bridging the gap between two academic fields that have been infrequently in full conversation: papyrology and the study of religion.
Through eleven in-depth case studies of Christian, Islamic, “pagan,” Jewish, Manichaean, and Hermetic texts and objects, this book offers new interpretations on markers of religious identity in papyrus documents written in Coptic, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic. Using papyri as a window into the lives of ordinary believers, it explores their religious behavior and choices in everyday life. Three valuable perspectives are outlined and explored in these documents: a critical reflection on the concept of identity and the role of religious groups, a situational reading of religious repertoire and symbols, and a focus on speech acts as performative and efficacious utterances.
Religious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri offers a wide scope and comparative approach to this topic, suitable for students and scholars of late antiquity and Egypt, as well as those interested in late antique religion.

Record-Making and Record-Keeping in Early Societies

Record-Making and Record-Keeping in Early Societies provides a concise and up-to-date survey of early record-making and record-keeping practices across the world. It investigates the ways in which human activities have been recorded in different settings using different methods and technologies.
Based on an in-depth analysis of literature from a wide range of disciplines, including prehistory, archaeology, Assyriology, Egyptology, and Chinese and Mesoamerican studies, the book reflects the latest and most relevant historical scholarship. Drawing upon the author’s experience as a practitioner and scholar of records and archives and his extensive knowledge of archival theory and practice, the book embeds its account of the beginnings of recording practices in a conceptual framework largely derived from archival science. Unique both in its breadth of coverage and in its distinctive perspective on early record-making and record-keeping, the book provides the only updated and synoptic overview of early recording practices available worldwide.
Record-Making and Record-Keeping in Early Societies will be of interest to academics, researchers, and students engaged in the study of archival science, archival history, and the early history of human culture. The book will also appeal to practitioners of archives and records management interested in learning more about the origins of their profession.

A Full Morphosyntactic Annotation of the State Archives of Assyria Letter Corpus

Creators Ong, Matthew

The dataset consists of a full morphosyntactic annotation of the normalized letter corpus of the State Archives of Assyria online (SAAo), plus associated metadata regarding sender, recipient, estimated date of composition, script, and dialect of Akkadian (if determinable). This corpus comprises ten of the twenty-one current volumes of SAAo and contains approximately 2600 letters from the royal archives of the late Neo-Assyrian kings. Each letter features morphosyntactic annotations specifying part of speech, lemma, morphological decomposition, and syntactic dependencies of all relevant tokens in the text. The annotations were made with the help of a spaCy language model with additional human checking and completion. The annotations are available both as a set of CONLLU files (one per text) and as linked open data in a single TTL file. The associated metadata is available as a CSV file and a TTL. Due to the letters' shared format, topics of concern, and historical period in which they were written, this corpus forms a natural object of study from a linguistic and social historical perspective. It is hoped this data will be of use to researchers wishing to do linguistic and sociolinguistic corpus research on these texts.

Tradition de la pensée classique

ISSN (Édition imprimée) : 1251-4756

Sous la direction de Monique Dixsaut et Dimitri El Murr
« Tradition de la pensée classique » est une collection consacrée à la philosophie antique, notamment à Platon et à la tradition platonicienne au sens large. Études textuelles, thématiques et histoire des interprétations sont abordées dans une perspective plus philosophique et historique que philologique et font appel à des spécialistes de tous pays. Cette collection spécialisée se veut à destination d’un public étudiant et universitaire, intéressé par les philosophies de l’Antiquité et leur réception moderne et contemporaine. Fondée et dirigée depuis 1990 par Monique Dixsaut, elle est depuis 2020 codirigée par Dimitri El Murr.

Est classique le livre qu’une nation ou un groupe de nations ou les siècles ont décidé de lire comme si tout dans ses pages était délibéré, fatal, profond comme le cosmos et susceptible d’interprétation sans fin.
N’est pas classique (je le répète) un livre qui nécessairement possède tel ou tel mérite, mais un livre que les générations humaines, pressées par des raisons différentes, lisent avec une ferveur préalable et une mystérieuse loyauté.
Jorge Luis Borges (citation extraite de Enquêtes, trad. Paul et Sylvia Benichou, coll. Folio / Essais, Gallimard, Paris, 1967, p. 251-252)

Critica: Textual Issues in Horace, Ennius, Vergil and Other Authors

Gathering together over 60 new and revised discussions of textual issues, this volume represents notorious problems in well-known texts from the classical era by authors including Horace, Ennius, and Vergil.
A follow-up to Vegiliana: Critical Studies on the Texts of Publius Vergilius Maro (2017), the volume includes major contributions to the discussion of Horace’s Carmen IV 8 and IV 12, along with studies on Catullus Carmen 67 and Hadrian’s Animula vagula, as well as a new contribution on Livy’s text at IV 20 in connection with Cossus’s spolia opima, and on Vergil’s Aeneid 3. 147–152 and 11. 151–153. On Ennius, the author presents several new ideas on Ann. 42 Sk. and 220–22l, and in editing Horace, he suggests new principles for the critical apparatus and tries to find a balance by weighing both sides in several studies, comparing a conservative and a radical approach.
Critica will be an important resource for students and scholars of Latin language and literature.

Job's Body and the Dramatised Comedy of Moralising

This book focuses on the expressions used to describe Job’s body in pain and on the reactions of his friends to explore the moral and social world reflected in the language and the values that their speeches betray.
A key contribution of this monograph is to highlight how the perspective of illness as retribution is powerfully refuted in Job’s speeches and, in particular, to show how this is achieved through comedy. Comedy in Job is a powerful weapon used to expose and ridicule the idea of retribution. Rejecting the approach of retrospective diagnosis, this monograph carefully analyses the expression of pain in Job focusing specifically on somatic language used in the deity attack metaphors, in the deity surveillance metaphors and in the language connected to the body and social status. These metaphors are analysed in a comparative way using research from medical anthropology and sociology which focuses on illness narratives and expressions of pain.
Job's Body and the Dramatised Comedy of Moralising will be of interest to anyone working on the Book of Job, as well as those with an interest in suffering and pain in the Hebrew Bible more broadly.

Pindar’s Pythian Twelve: A Linguistic Commentary and a Comparative Study

Laura Massetti

Ancient Languages and Civilizations, Volume: 6

Pindar’s Pythian Twelve is the only choral lyric epinicion in our possession composed for the winner of a non-athletic competition. Often regarded as an ode of straightforward interpretation, close analysis of the text reveals that it presents several challenges to modern readers. This book offers an updated translation of the text and an investigation of the main interpretative issues of the epinicion with the aid of historical linguistics. By identifying devices which Pindar might have inherited from earlier periods of poetic language, the study provides insights into the thematic aspects of the ode as well as on Pindar’s compositional technique.

Desire and Disunity: Christian Communities and Sexual Norms in the Late Antique West

Vihervalli, Ulriika

Desire and Disunity explores the struggles of Christianising late ancient sexuality in the late Roman West. Through an examination of fourth to sixth century sermons, letters, laws, and treatises in Latin-speaking communities, the difficulties of late antique clerics in moving ascetically influenced sexual ideals into wider practice become evident. Western clerics faced challenges on several fronts: the dedication and devoutness of lay Christians varied, while the military-political upheavals of the fifth century created new challenges and opportunities for influencing one’s flock. Furthermore, Roman sexual norms continued to inform the thinking of many clerics and lay figures alike, even when in opposition to more scripturally based moral reasoning. Problems of bigamy, concubinage, sex work, incest, homosexual acts, adultery, and more troubled western Christian communities, with contradicting rules and traditions on what was acceptable and what was not. What reach did elite clerical perspectives on sexual norms have amongst the non-elite? How did clerics navigate tensions between the idealisation of Christian communal purity and the actions of congregants that fell short of these ideals? What influenced clerical perceptions of sex and how did they articulate these ideas to their audiences? Clerical sources of this time reflect these challenges as well as varying church attempts to reform the sex lives of their congregants – and, indeed, church failure in doing so.

Exploring Greek Manuscripts in the Library at Wellcome Collection in London

This book offers new insights into a largely understudied group of Greek texts preserved in selected manuscripts from the Library at Wellcome Collection, London. The content of these manuscripts ranges from medicine, including theories on diagnosis and treatment of disease, to astronomy, philosophy, and poetry. With texts dating from the ancient era to the Byzantine and Ottoman worlds, each manuscript provides its own unique story, opening a window onto different social and cultural milieus. All chapters are illustrated with black and white and colour figures, highlighting some of the most significant codices in the collection.

A People's History of Classics: Class and Greco-Roman Antiquity in Britain and Ireland 1689 to 1939

April 16, 2024, 11:12 am

≫ Next: Album arheologic

≪ Previous: Exploring Greek Manuscripts in the Library at Wellcome Collection in London

A People’s History of Classics explores the influence of the classical past on the lives of working-class people, whose voices have been almost completely excluded from previous histories of classical scholarship and pedagogy, in Britain and Ireland from the late 17th to the early 20th century.
This volume challenges the prevailing scholarly and public assumption that the intimate link between the exclusive intellectual culture of British elites and the study of the ancient Greeks and Romans and their languages meant that working-class culture was a ‘Classics-Free Zone’. Making use of diverse sources of information, both published and unpublished, in archives, museums and libraries across the United Kingdom and Ireland, Hall and Stead examine the working-class experience of classical culture from the Bill of Rights in 1689 to the outbreak of World War II. They analyse a huge volume of data, from individuals, groups, regions and activities, in a huge range of sources including memoirs, autobiographies, Trade Union collections, poetry, factory archives, artefacts and documents in regional museums. This allows a deeper understanding not only of the many examples of interaction with the Classics, but also what these cultural interactions signified to the working poor: from the promise of social advancement, to propaganda exploited by the elites, to covert and overt class war.
A People’s History of Classics offers a fascinating and insightful exploration of the many and varied engagements with Greece and Rome among the working classes in Britain and Ireland, and is a must-read not only for classicists, but also for students of British and Irish social, intellectual and political history in this period. Further, it brings new historical depth and perspectives to public debates around the future of classical education, and should be read by anyone with an interest in educational policy in Britain today.

The Apocalypse of Peter in Context

editors: Maier D.C., Frey J., Kraus T.J.

“The Apocalypse of Peter in Context” offers scholarly inquiries into this complex and frequently overlooked early Christian text from different angles. By extending the boundaries of traditional analyses, this collection of essays elucidates the eschatological beliefs prevalent in nascent Christian communities and the formative influences that gave rise to perceptions of heaven and hell. Through new approaches to authorship, transmission, and materiality, it explores this early apocryphal text’s complex relationship with Jewish literature of the Second Temple period and its reception in (Late) Antiquity and the Middle Ages in various branches of Christianity. It also presents the first comprehensive English translation of the entire Ethiopic transmission context and further possible Ethiopic witnesses never critically edited and translated before. The result of a multidisciplinary conference, this collection provokes new insights and stimulates further research on this captivating witness to a distinct branch of apocalyptic thought within early Christianity.

Die Werkstätten der arretinischen Reliefkeramik

Francesca Paola Porten Palange

Monographien des RGZM, Band 76,1

Monographien des RGZM, Band 76,2

Dem »Katalog der Punzenmotive in der arretinischen Reliefkeramik« (RGZM Kataloge Vor- und Früh geschichtlicher Altertümer 38, 1-2 [2004]) folgen nun diese beiden Bände über die Werkstätten, die von ca. 30 v.Chr. an in Arezzo und Umgebung Reliefkeramik produziert haben.
Im ersten Band werden insgesamt 22 Werkstätten analysiert, ergänzt durch ein Kapitel über den Töpfer Anteros, von dem wir noch nicht wissen, für welche Manufaktur er gearbeitet hat. Die Werkstätten sind völlig neu bearbeitet, und ihr Repertoire ist umfassender beschrieben. Hinzu kommen viele bis dato unbekannte Punzenmotive sowie gegenüber der bisherigen Forschung notwendige Neuzuweisungen, wodurch wir – obwohl das Material des Museums in Arezzo immer noch so spärlich veröffentlicht bleibt – von der Gattung ein deutlich klareres und genaueres Bild erhalten und das Repertoire der einzelnen Offizinen an Reichhaltigkeit gewinnt.
Der zweite Band enthält für jede Werkstatt in zeichnerischer Darstellung die Namensstempel und die bislang bekannten Profile, außerdem die wichtigsten Randmotive und die häufigsten vegetabilischen Ornamente, die für die korrekte und sichere Zuschreibung eine so entscheidende Rolle spielen. Ebenso sind – um die im ersten Band beschriebenen Figurenreihen besser nachvollziehen zu können – auch die bedeutungsvollen Zyklen anhand zahlreicher Bildkombinationen sowie bislang singulär überlieferte Zusammensetzungen figürlicher und ornamentaler Motive dargestellt.

New Trends in the Research on the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas

editors: Muñoz Gallarte I., Roig Lanzillotta L.

Much has been written on the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas since the work of Lipisus, Wright, and Bonnet. However, many of the crucial questions concerning the text remain still today open: When was the text composed? In which language was it written, Greek or Syriac? And most importantly, where in the ancient world did the text see the light? Also the nature and structure of the text remain in doubt: What is the nature of the text we have at our disposal? And how was it transmitted throughout the Middle Ages? The present volume intends to provide answers at least to some of these questions. Its title, New Trends in the Research on the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas, however, shows that it at the same time intends to break new ground in the analysis of the text, revising some old, vexed problems.

Gaia: revue interdisciplinaire sur la Grèce Archaïque
ISSN: 1262-3717
eISSN - 2275-4776

Founded in 1996 by Françoise Létoublon along with André Hurst (Genova) and Franco Montanari (Geneva), Gaia is meant as a crossroads of discussions concerning Archaic Greece in an original manner. It publishes articles by authors coming from different but complementary fields (literature, linguistics, philology, history, anthropology, archeology, reception of antiquity). It is also open from a linguistic point of view (articles published up to now in French, English, Italian and German). The issues from 1997 à 2017 are available on Persée.

The current volumes are now hosted on Open Edition:

Poésie archaïque et débuts de la philosophie : entre images et abstraction
Sous la direction de Pascale Brillet-Dubois

Informations sur cette image
Ce numéro de Gaia est consacré principalement à un dossier destiné à faire dialoguer des spécialistes de la poésie archaïque et des historiens de la pensée dite présocratique. Les articles rassemblés, écrits par P. Brillet‑Dubois, G. Cursaru, B. Folit‑Weinberg, F. Létoublon, A. Macé et É. Ménard, témoignent d’une part de la cristallisation du concept d’« être », dont on perçoit les prémisses chez Homère avant que Parménide ne forge un nom pour le désigner, et de l’importance des images, vecteurs sensibles de la pensée conceptuelle, chez des poètes-penseurs comme Hésiode et des penseurs-poètes comme Parménide et Empédocle. Ils montrent la continuité culturelle qui existe entre des poètes qui interrogent très consciemment le rapport entre le langage et le monde et des philosophes qui s’expriment dans une langue poétique, tout en soulignant la façon dont Parménide et Empédocle rompent avec la tradition pour affirmer leur projet singulier. Le numéro contient également un article synthétique de M. Briand sur la choralité dans les Olympiques de Pindare.

L’antropologo «classico» entre bêtes et dieux. Omaggi a Ezio Pellizer (Vol. 2)
Sous la direction de Francesca Marzari, Alberto Cecon et Alberto Pavan

Informations sur cette image
Ce numéro de Gaia accueille le second volet du dossier « L’antropologo “classico” entre bêtes et dieux. Omaggi a Ezio Pellizer » coordonné par Francesca Marzari, Alberto Cecon et Alberto Pavan (pour le premier volet, voir Gaia 24/2021). La mémoire d’Ezio Pellizer y est célébrée par ses collègues et amis à travers des contributions qui revisitent des thèmes qui lui étaient chers, entre poésie épique, théâtre, philologie, histoire, archéologie et anthropologie. Il est question de l’universalité intemporelle d’Ulysse, du paysage mythologique slovène, de la fortune de l’épisode du passage des Argonautes en Adriatique, de la réécriture de la mythologie grecque dans un poème didactique du XVI^e siècle, de l’épitomé très personnelle de Conon par le byzantin Photius, du rapport entre Lucien et le Joueur de flûte de Hamelin, d’Aristophane et Alexandrie, de la figure légendaire de la matrone romaine Cornélia, mère des Gracques et fille de Scipion l’Africain.
Suivent trois articles hors dossier, sur la re-sémantisation en milieu étrusque des vases de banquet de production attique décorés avec des hybridités oculaires (Christian Mazet), le sens de la promesse dans la société iliadique (Anastasia Kefala) et la reprise des épopées homériques dans les dramaturgies du XXI^e siècle (Anaïs Tillier). Avec ce numéro, nous inaugurons enfin une rubrique de notes de lecture qui sera alimentée au fil de l’eau tout au long de l’année.

Inner Affinity: Ovid, Titian, Philip of Spain

Inner Affinity: Ovid, Titian, Philip of Spain

Corpataux J.-F.

Studies in Iconology, 23

The title of this little book is inspired by Erwin Panofsky’s remarks on the “inner affinity” between Ovid and Titian. But this inner affinity between the Latin poet and the Venetian painter also extends to Philip of Spain, for whom Titian painted the famous cycle of canvases that he referred to in his letters as the “Poesie”. To explore this kinship of spirit among the poet, the painter, and the king, this study examines the dynastic fecundity that results from the effects of works of art on the imagination, the soul and the body.
