Miracles of Technology and Art
This article explores the role of technology in arousing religious awe from classical antiquity to the time of Emperor Theophilos. People’s fascination with technology ensured that this trend, increasingly popular in Greco-Roman religious festivals from the Hellenistic period onwards, gained pace among Christians after an initial period of rejecting pagan religious aesthetics. Technology was highly prised by both pagan and Christian rulers who ty…
Theōria as Cure for Impiety and Atheism in Plato's Laws and Clement of Alexandria
The article examines the impact of Plato's views on atheism and impiety, relayed in the Laws, on Clement of Alexandria. Clement employed the adjectives godless (atheos) and impious (asebēs) often in his writings as accusations against pagan philosophers and/or heretics, but also in his defence of Christians against the very charge of atheism on account of their rejection of pagan gods (Stromata 7.1; cf. Tertullian's Apologia 10). I argue that Cle…
Female agents of Hell, Stoic luxury, and failing leaders
The Underworld imagery developed by Lucan (BC 6.507–830), Statius (Th. 4.345–645), Valerius Flaccus (Arg. 1.827–50), and Silius Italicus (Pun. 2 and 13) to reprove Rome’s power-hungry leaders, accused of the death of thousands in civil war battles, excited the imagination of Christian writers such as Lactantius, Ausonius, Jerome, and the Spanish Presbyter Iuvencus. The article explores the investment of this imagery with the Stoic notion of exces…
Culture and Ideology under the Seleukids
Polemical poetry in Late Antiquity
The article examines Claudian’s use of Stoic and Epicurean ideas to mount a vitriolic attack against Eutropius, the eunuch consul serving under the Eastern emperor Arcadius. Employed by Stilicho, the pre-eminent military commander of the Western emperor Honorius, Claudian, in Book 1 of the In Eutropium , synthesizes Stoic and Epicurean tropes about bodily afflictions that reveal one’s moral character. Claiming that Eutropius, a eunuch who had spe…
Drunk with Wisdom
Among the metaphors that Plato employed in the context of his apophatic approach to philosophical truth and its experience, inebriation stands out in the Symposium, where famously Socrates is compared to Dionysian figures such as the Silenoi and Marsyas (215a-c), and to frenzied Corybantic dancers (215e; 216d; 218b). The contentious nature of inebriation as a proxy of ecstasy is aptly exemplified in Euripides’ Bacchae, where Pentheus, the distrus…
Eastern Christianity and Late Antique Philosophy
Readers of Eastern Christianity and Late Antique Philosophy will find a collection of authoritative papers from across the Neoplatonic and Eastern Christian traditions. It is only recently that scholars have started to take notice of the Eastern Christian engagement with late antique philosophical texts. This volume builds upon this new interest in order to show the dynamic nature of Neoplatonism and Eastern Christianity at a time when both faced…
Herakles Inside and Outside the Church
Herakles Inside and Outside the Church: from the first Apologists to the Quattrocento explores the reception of the ancient Greek hero Herakles (the Roman Hercules) in the predominantly Christian cultures which succeeded classical antiquity in Europe. Each chapter takes a particular literary or visual incarnation, grappling with the question of the hero’s significance within the early Church, in less formal contexts, and beyond Christendom in his…

Daphnis, Deus Pastoralis
In the Eclogues Vergil elevates Daphnis from the lovesick cowherd of Theocritean poetry to an energizing spirit that rules the Roman countryside. To this direction, he invests Daphnis with elements
Herodas' Mimiamb 7
Herodas' Mimiamb 7 has often attracted scholarly attention on account of its thematic preoccupation with the sexuality of ordinary people, thus offering a realistic and exciting glimpse of everyday life in the eastern Mediterranean of the third century b.c.e . In addition, his obscure reference in lines 62–3 to the obsession of women and dogs with dildos has been the focus of long-standing scholarly debate: while most scholars agree that the vers…
Titus and Berenice
Titus and Berenice:The Elegiac Aura of an Historical Affair Eva Anagnostou-Laoutides and Michael B. Charles INTRODUCTION Plagued by stories about his private debauchery and heavy handedness as praetorian prefect, Titus, the son of Vespasian, was, as Suetonius (Tit. 7.1) reports, feared as another Nero.1 As a result, his ascent to the throne was supposedly met with hostility (Cass. Dio 65.12.1, Suet. Tit. 6.2, Vesp. 25.1), while his relationship w…
Eros and Ritual in Ancient Literature
This book examines popular erotic myths with regard to their origins and literary treatment throughout antiquity. The relation of ritual to certain mythic patterns that reflect initiation rites is also considered. These myths reinforce the association between cult and mythology in literature. Initiation patterns were employed as literary metaphors for falling in love or even for holding a philosophical argument on human progress. The myths are ch…

The Sexual Hypocrisy of Domitian
L'empereur Domitien est considere comme l'archetype du tyran dans la tradition litteraire. Comme l'hypocrisie et la debauche sexuelle etaient reconnues comme des attributs typiques du tyran, Suetone utilise ces tropes pour mettre en lumiere le caractere soi-disant meprisable de Domitien. Dom. 8, 3 decrit de facon ostentatoire les actes louables de l'empereur dans le contexte de la mise en vigueur de la moralite romaine traditionnelle. Cependant, …
Daphnis and Aphrodite
In this article, we argue that the object of Daphnis' enamorment in Theocritus' first Idyll is Aphrodite. Our case is based on two distinct but converging lines of argument. First, we provide reasons for supposing that the character of Daphnis in Theocritus' poem is modelled on that of Adonis and related figures in near-eastern tradition, who serve as the young, dying consorts of a goddess associated with eroticism and love. Second, we argue that…
