Deme Accounts and the Meaning of hosios Money in Fifth-Century Athens
Comparing the accounts of the deme Ikarion (IG I3 253) with those of Rhamnous (IG I3 247 bis and 253; IRhamnous 181 and 182) and Plotheia (IG I3 258), this article argues that the adjective hosios applied to a fund in Ikarion indicates that this money was dêmosios and to be used in a way pleasing to the gods.

When in 1824 the German classical scholar Karl Otfried Muller (17971840) set down to write a review of Champollion's first Letter to M. Dacier (1822), he was profoundly interested.' For several years he had been working on Egypt, and as he told his parents in 1820, have come to love Egyptian antiquity so much, that, if I were not constricted by the schedule of my classes, I would have set myself to the decipherment of the hieroglyphs, which I wou…
Quests for a Scientific Mythology: F. Creuzer and K. O. Muller on History and Myth

In the search for the true nature of myth, the hermeneutic problems involved in historical understanding were intensified. As myth was held to be of a…
