  • Lucian’s Laughing Gods

    Inger N I Kuin, Inger Kuin et al.BOOKLucian's Laughing Gods2023

    No comic author from the ancient world features the gods as often as Lucian of Samosata, yet the meaning of his works remain contested. He is either seen as undermining the gods and criticizing religion through his humor, or as not engaging with religion at all, featuring the gods as literary characters. His humor was traditionally viewed as a symptom of decreased religiosity, but that model of religious decline in the second century CE has been …

  • Documentality

    Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG, Jacqueline Arthur-Montagne et al.BOOKDocumentality2022Cited by: 2

    This volume unites scholars of classical epigraphy, papyrology, and literature to analyze the documentary habit in the Roman Empire. Texts like inscriptions and letters have gained importance in classical scholarship, but there has been limited analysis of the imaginative and sociological dimensions of the ancient document. Individual chapters investigate the definition of the document in ancient thought, and how modern understandings of document…

  • After the Crisis

    Jacqueline Klooster, Inger N I KuinBOOKAfter the Crisis2020

    Crises resulting from war or other upheavals turn the lives of individuals upside down, and they can leave marks on a community for many years after the event.

  • Rewriting Family History

    Inger N I Kuin, Inger N I Kuin Inger N I KuinARTICLEPhoenix2017

    Strabo's Pontic ancestors saw their lives transformed by the Mithridatic Wars. His account of his family's history shows how they coped: they re-anchored their identities by retelling and reshaping family stories. The unsolved mystery of his ancestor Dorylaus the Younger can be explained by such an instance of rewriting family history
