Notes on the text of Ovid’s Metamorphoses
The corruptions in the text of Ovid’s Metamorphoses are more frequent than the recent editors of the work have suspected. They (the editors) depend too much on a relatively small group of highly valued witnesses, instead of having followed the example of Heinsius and Burman. They should have looked at a larger number of witnesses and resorted more often to the emendatio ope ingenii. A great deal of work remains to be done, as a critical examinati…

Ancient Pathways and Hidden Pursuits
Ancient Pathways and Hidden Pursuits collects essays by classicist Georg Luck, published over the years in periodicals and handbooks. They deal with the various aspects of Greco-Roman life and thought, especially with religious beliefs, occult practices, psychology, and morals. The book is a companion to Luck's Arcana Mundi, an annotated translation of ancient texts on magic and the occult."--BOOK JACKET

The Cave and the Source
In his recently published Propertiana , Mr. D. R. Shackleton Bailey has given what I believe to be the correct interpretation of the first two lines. He maintains that sacra has no direct connexion with poetry, that it may be virtually synonymous with Manes or possibly signify the rites paid to the dead, or that it can be taken in the sense of their physical relics, the ashes in the urn. He reminds us that nemus is more than a ‘poetic grove’; it …
Studia Divina in Vita Humana. On Cicero's “Dream of Scipio” and its Place in Graeco-Roman Philosophy
In the first book of the Tusculanae, and in the last book of De Republica, Cicero has left us two notable documents in the development towards later views of the soul and the hereafter. Both works are among his best; both are composed with care, neither is a random compilation of doxographical material. In the Somnium Scipionis, the language of the dream reflects with particular persuasiveness the impulse of the soul to take wings and fly away in…
Callimachus and Conopion
In his monumental edition of Callimachus, R. Pfeiffer has questioned the authenticity of three epigrams. More than fifty years ago U. v. Wilamowitz- Moellendorff had rejected Ep . 33 and Ep. 36 4 ; but Pfeiffer seems to be the first critic to exclude Ep . 63 (= Anth. Pal . 5. 23) from the collection of Callimachus' epigrams. Although he sets forth his objections in a long footnote, none of the reviewers has so far discussed this point
