Numenius’ ‘Revocable Elements’ and Homer, Il. 1.526
Philosophy in Dio Chrysostom, on Anachôrêsis ( Oration 20)
This article uncovers the intellectual traditions behind Dio Chrysostom's Oration 20: On Anachôrêsis . The examination reveals a variety of subtexts and traditions with which Dio engages, and shows that at its core the text inspects three types of lives promoted by three philosophical schools: Epicurean, Stoic and Peripatetic. They are never referred to directly, however, which raises questions concerning Dio's strategy of not acknowledging the s…
Greek Dialogue in Antiquity
Nonnus of Panopolis in Context III
Nonnus of Panopolis (5th c. AD), the most important Greek poet of Late Antiquity, is best known for his Dionysiaca, a grand epic that gathers together all myths associated with Dionysus, god of wine and mysteries. The poet also authored the Paraphrase of St. John’s Gospel which renders the Fourth Gospel into sophisticated hexameter verse. This volume, edited by Filip Doroszewski and Katarzyna Jażdżewska, brings together twenty-six essays by emine…

Entertainers, Persuaders, Adversaries
The contribution examines the dynamics of interactions between sophists and rulers in Philostratus’ Lives of Sophists, and argues that such encounters have a dynamic markedly different from depictions of meetings between wise men or philosophers and rulers. The paper is organized around three categories of sophist-ruler interactions: first, where a sophist acts as an entertainer and provider of pleasurable pastime for a ruler; second, where a sop…
Like a Married Woman’
This contribution examines Plutarch’s depiction of the kingfisher in De sollertia animalium 982e-983e and argues that it presents the bird as embodiment of three uxorial virtues: love for husband, love for offspring, and care for household. While Plutarch clearly draws from the abundant store of Greek kingfisher-lore, his account explicates the moralizing potential of the kingfisher- exemplum in a manner unparalleled in extant earlier tradition. …
Do Not Follow the Athenians! The Example of Athens in Dio Chrysostom’s Orations
Pyrrha and Priene
In Plutarch's Convivium septem sapientium ( CSS ) a narration of the banquet proper is preceded by an account of the walk to the banquet of three of the participants: Thales, Diocles and Niloxenus, a messenger of the Egyptian pharaoh Amasis. Upon learning that Niloxenus brings a letter from Amasis to Bias, Thales says with laughter: εἴ τι κακὸν αὖθις εἰς Πριήνην· διαλύσει γὰρ Βίας, ὡς διέλυσεν αὐτὸς τὸ πρῶτον ( CSS 146E–F: ‘if it is something bad…
A Skeleton at a Banquet
This contribution argues that Plutarch's Convivium Septem Sapientium, a work of historical fiction in the form of a sympotic dialogue, partakes in a tradition of interweaving convivial texts with the notion of mortality. The author argues that the theme of death, which is introduced by Plutarch through several different literary strategies, constitutes a recurrent element in the dialogue
