A time-course prediction model of global Covid-19 mortality
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 6 million deaths worldwide and is a significant cause of mortality. Mortality dynamics vary significantly by country due to pathogen, host, social and environmental factors, in addition to vaccination and treatments. However, there is limited data on the relative contribution of different explanatory variables, which may explain changes in mortality over time. We, therefore, created a predictive…

Pater and Greek Religion
This chapter analyses Pater’s views on Greek religion, as expounded particularly in Greek Studies. It assesses his relationship with his principally German sources, and discusses the interplay of historicism and aestheticism in his interpretation of the phenomena. The chapter places his work in the context both of contemporary scholarship on Greek religion and of nascent anthropology, and stresses the remarkable insightfulness of Pater’s reading.…
Critical care resources in the Solomon Islands
BACKGROUND: There are minimal data available on critical care case-mix, care processes and outcomes in lower and middle income countries (LMICs). The objectives of this paper were to gather data in the Solomon Islands in order to gain a better understanding of common presentations of critical illness, available hospital resources, and what resources would be helpful in improving the care of these patients in the future. METHODS: This study used a…
Herodotus and his prose predecessors
Herodotus being so miraculous, and the Herodotean urge to seek origins still being so strong with us, the desire to historicise him remains irresistible. Knowing what lay around and behind him could make clearer what was unique about him; it could, assuming an agreed definition of history, tell us whether he really was its Father. It happens that we do have a certain amount of information - desperately fragmentary, permitting only the smallest nu…
The Cambridge Companion to Herodotus
Herodotus' Histories is the first major surviving prose work from antiquity. Its range of interests is immense, covering the whole of the known world and much beyond, and it culminates in a detailed account of the Persian Wars of the early fifth century BC. Moreover, research has shown that Herodotus is a sophisticated and at times even ironic narrator, and a pioneer and serious practitioner of historical research at a time when the Greeks' tradi…
The Homeric question
How and by whom were the Iliad and Odyssey composed and preserved? Certain anticipations apart, the modern debate began in 1788 with the publication by Villoison of the scholia in the tenth-century manuscript of the Iliad , Venetus Marcianus Graecus 454. These marginal notes preserve substantial remnants of ancient scholarship on the poems, going back as far as third-century BC Alexandria and permitting inferences about the earlier state of the t…
The Cambridge Companion to Homer
The Cambridge Companion to Homer is a guide to the essential aspects of Homeric criticism and scholarship, including the reception of the poems in ancient and modern times. Written by an international team of scholars, it is intended to be the first port of call for students at all levels, with introductions to important subjects and suggestions for further exploration. Alongside traditional topics like the Homeric Question, the divine apparatus …
Patterns and Universals of Adult Romantic Attachment Across 62 Cultural Regions
As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions …
Herodotos and Athens
This chapter discusses the workings of oral history in Herodotus' text, and the implications for its interpretation as a document of the late 430s BC. Echoes of the contemporary political environment are explored particularly in the accounts of Hippokleides' unsuccessful suit, the expulsion of the Athenian tyrants, and the beginning of the Ionian Revolt. Although oral history effectively creates rather than mirrors the record of the past, thus pr…
The Authors Named Pherecydes
Fifty years ago Felix Jacoby published The First Athenian Prose Writer1)^ in which he decisively refuted Wilamowitz' thesis2) that works of Ionic mythography were ascribed generally to 'Pherecydes' in the same manner as medical treatises were ascribed to Hippocrates or laws to Solon. The only historical person behind the tradition was Pherecydes of Syrus; the work assigned to Pherecydes the Athenian by Eratosthenes, though indeed a separate book,…
Polos of Akragas
The testimonia of the pupil of Gorgias and eminent Sophist Polos of Akragas have never been fully collected. He is omitted from Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker, and Ludwig Radermacher's collection, which had a special focus, is not complete1). In the course of preparing an edition of the early mythographers, one of whom according to the doubtful test, la was Polos, I have had occasion to put these testimonia together; but as they all pertain to h…
