  • Knowledge, Text and Practice in Ancient Technical Writing

    Modifié par Marco Formisano, Philip van der Eijk ...
    The relationship between theory and practice, in other words between norms indicated in a text and their extra-textual application, is one of the most fascinating issues in the history and theory of science. Yet this aspect has often been taken for granted and never explored in depth. The essays contained in this volume provide a complex and nuanced discussion of this relationship as it emerges in ...

    par Lucretius ...
    Traduit par Ronald Melville ...
    Collections series Oxford World's Classics
    `Therefore this terror and darkness of the mind Not by the sun's rays, nor the bright shafts of day, Must be dispersed, as is most necessary, But by the face of nature and her laws.'

  • Oedipus and the Sphinx

    The Threshold Myth from Sophocles through Freud to Cocteau

    par Almut-Barbara Renger ...
    When Oedipus met the Sphinx on the road to Thebes, he did more than answer a riddle—he spawned a myth that, told and retold, would become one of Western culture's central narratives about self-understanding. Identifying the story as a threshold myth—in which the hero crosses over into an unknown and dangerous realm where rules and limits are not known— Oedipus and the Sphinx offers a fresh account ...

  • Social Variation and the Latin Language

    par J. N. Adams ...
    Languages show variations according to the social class of speakers and Latin was no exception, as readers of Petronius are aware. The Romance languages have traditionally been regarded as developing out of a 'language of the common people' (Vulgar Latin), but studies of modern languages demonstrate that linguistic change does not merely come, in the social sense, 'from below'. There is change ... En savoir plus

  • Knowledge and Self-Knowledge in Plato's Theaetetus

    par Andrea Tschemplik ...
    Knowledge and Self-Knowledge in Plato's Theaetetus advances a new explanation for the apparent failure of the Theaetetus to come to a satisfactory conclusion about the definition of knowledge. Tschemplik argues that understanding this aporetic dialogue in light of the fact that it was conducted with two noted mathematicians shows that for Plato, mathematics was not the paradigm for philosophy. She ... En savoir plus

  • From Literacy to Literature

    England, 1300-1400

    par Christopher Cannon ...
    The first lessons we learn in school can stay with us all our lives, but this was nowhere more true than in the last decades of the fourteenth century when grammar-school students were not only learning to read and write, but understanding, for the first time, that their mother tongue, English, was grammatical. The efflorescence of Ricardian poetry was not a direct result of this change, but it ... En savoir plus

  • Pliny the Younger

    A Life in Roman Letters

    par Rex Winsbury ...
    Pliny the Younger who lived c. 100 AD, left a large collection of letters, thanks to which we know him better than almost any other Roman. He is best known as witness to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 that destroyed Pompeii, and for his dealings with the early Christians when a regional governor. He was not an emperor or general, but a famous lawyer of his time specialising in private finance and ... En savoir plus

  • Memory in Vergil's Aeneid

    Creating the Past

    par Aaron M. Seider ...
    Tracing the path from Troy's destruction to Rome's foundation, the Aeneid explores the transition between past and future. As the Trojans struggle to found a new city and the narrator sings of his audience's often-painful history, memory becomes intertwined with a crucial leitmotif: the challenge of being part of a group that survives violence and destruction only to face the daunting task of ...

  • When Heroes Sing

    Sophocles and the Shifting Soundscape of Tragedy

    par Sarah Nooter ...
    This book examines the lyrical voice of Sophocles' heroes and argues that their identities are grounded in poetic identity and power. It begins by looking at how voice can be distinguished in Greek tragedy and by exploring ways that the language of tragedy was influenced by other kinds of poetry in late fifth-century Athens. In subsequent chapters, Professor Nooter undertakes close readings of ... En savoir plus

  • The Roman Book

    par Rex Winsbury ...
    Collections series Classical Literature and Society
    The publishing of Roman books has long and often been misrepresented by false analogies with modern publishing. This comprehensive new study examines, by appeal to what Roman authors themselves tell us, both the raw materials and aesthetic criteria of the Roman book (a papyrus scroll) and the process of literary composition. What was the 'scribal art' of the time? What was the role of bookshops ... En savoir plus

  • The Pauline Church and the Corinthian Ekklesia

    Greco-Roman Associations in Comparative Context

    par Richard Last ...
    Collections Livre 164 - Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series
    Moving past earlier descriptions of first-century Christ groups that were based on examining the New Testament in isolation from extant sources produced by analogous cult groups throughout Mediterranean antiquity, this book engages with underexplored epigraphic and papyrological records and situates the behaviour of Paul's Corinthian ekklēsia within broader patterns of behaviour practised by Greco ...
