Civil Society, Dionysiac Festival, and the Athenian Democracy
Pericles on Democracy
Understanding the role of democracy in Thucydides’ history depends to a large extent on 2.37.1 in the Periclean Funeral Oration. Four ostensibly minor stylistic features of the passage show that Thucydides represented Pericles as praising Athenian democracy but carefully embedding his comments in a wider discussion of Athenian mores (ἐπιτηδεύματα) and characteristics (τρόποι). These account for much of Athens’ endurance and resilience during the …
The Classics Now
The Classics Now: Changing Discourses, Emerging Opportunities* W. Robert Connor I was walking in our nation’s capital during the recent Great Recession when I saw a great banner hung on a pretentious building. It said JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. I thought that this must be the slogan of some left-leaning think tank, or maybe of the Democratic party trying to drum up support for new federal efforts at stimulating job creation. Wrong! When I crossed the stre…

We Must Call the Classics before a Court of Shipwrecked Men
What if we put to our texts the injunction of the Spanish intellectual Jose Ortega y Gasset—"We must call the classics before a court of shipwrecked men to answer certain peremptory questions with reference to real life"? The answer that emerges from an investigation of several literary works depicting a shipwrecked person who has access to one or more texts—Shakespeare's Tempest , Defoe's Robinson Crusoe , Stevenson's Treasure Island , and, at o…

Thucydides
Historiography
HERODOTUS Herodotus of Halicarnassus ( c. 485–425 B.C.) was the founder of ancient historiography. The paradox of his life is his dual position as a prime exponent both of Ionian story telling and, despite his use of the Ionic dialect, of Attic literature. Athens of course had attracted foreigners already in the sixth century (the Samian Anacreon is an example) and continued to do so in the fifth. But in Herodotus she acquired a writer who explai…
