  • The Homeric Topography of the Trojan Plain Reconsidered

    Open AccessJ V LuceARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology1984References: 1

    Homeric passages bearing on the location of the Achaean camp at Troy are re‐examined in the light of new scientific data on the time‐scale for the alluviation of the Trojan plain. The new data confirm the accuracy of Strabo's account of the plain, and in particular of the shore‐line having come close to the Hisarlik site ( Novum Ilium ) in Hellenistic times. In the era of Troy VI/VII, c. 3,250 years BP, the shore‐line appears to have run west by …

  • Thera and the Devastation of Minoan Crete

    J V Luce, Kathleen BoltonARTICLEAmerican Journal of Archaeology1976Cited by: 3References: 2

    The latest pottery evidence from Thera indicates that the Akrotiri settlement was not abandoned until ca. 1470 B.C. The pottery assemblages in the so-called LM IB destruction horizon in Crete (at Mallia, Gournia, Pseira, etc.) are also consistent with a date ca. 1470 B.C. It is therefore possible to attribute both destructions to a "single-phase" eruption of the Thera volcano. The layer of humus over the Akrotiri ruins represents decayed mud-bric…

  • Plato On Truth And Falsity In Names

    Open AccessJ V LuceARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1969Cited by: 1

    In Cratylus 385 b-c Plato argues that if statements ( ) can be true or false, names ( ), 2 as parts ( ) of statements, are also capable of being true or false. From Aristotle onwards this view has often been challenged, 3 and R. Robinson put the case against it trenchantly when he wrote: 4 This argument is bad; for names have no truth-value, and the reason given for saying that they do is a fallacy of division. No one in the dialogue points out t…

  • The Theory of Ideas in the Cratylus

    J V LuceARTICLEPhronesis1965Cited by: 2

    he traditional version of the Platonic theory of Ideas is mainly derived from the systematic and eloquent discussions of abstract thought and supra-sensible reality in the Phaedo and the central books of the Republic. In these dialogues the X&ptap?6s of Idea from sensible object, which Aristotle singled out as the distinctive difference between Platonic and Socratic thought about essence, is very marked. Assuming that the Cratylus is to be dated …

  • Cleopatra as Fatale Monstrum ( Horace, Carm . 1. 37. 21)

    Open AccessJ V LuceARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1963

    The pregnant phrase fatale monstrum comes at a crucial point in the third and longest of the three sentences of the ‘Cleopatra Ode’. Before it Cleopatra is being hissed from the stage of history with cries of disapproval; after it she is recalled to receive plaudit after plaudit for her courage and resolution. The phrase is emphasized by its position at the start of a stanza followed by a marked pause. Prima facie it is the climax of the vitupera…

  • A Discussion of Phaedo 69 a 6–c 2

    Open AccessJ V LuceARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1944Cited by: 1

    T his long and complicated sentence has not been correctly translated nor clearly explained by any of the editors of the Phaedo that I have been able to consult. Bekker, Stallbaum, Wohlrab, Geddes, Wagner, Archer-Hind, Williamson, Burnet, in their notes on the passage say much that is true, but all seem to fall into certain errors. None of them has given an accurate and coherent picture of the passage as a whole. In attempting to supply such a pi…
