On ἀργúρια in the Athenaion Politeia 60.3
The London papyrus of the Athenaion Politeia of Aristotle makes this statement about the prizes awarded in the musical contests at the Panathenaic games: It has been generally assumed that the and here are connected with the prizes offered in the musical contests in IG n2 2311.1–22.For instance the winner in the lyre-playing contest receives a gold crown worth 1000 drachmas as well as 500 drachmas of silver(lines 4–7).In consequence, the here are…
On some Epicurean and Lucretian arguments for the infinity of the universe
As is well known, Epicurus and his followers held that the universe was infinite and f that its two primary components, void and atoms, were each infinite. The void was infinite in extension, the atoms were infinite in number and their total was infinite also in extension. The chief Epicurean proofs of these infinities are found in Epicurus, Ad Herod. 41–2, and in Lucretius 1.951–1020. As far as I can see, both the commentators to these works and…

Alexander of Aphrodisias on Vision in the Atomists
In discussing the atomists' theory of vision modern accounts have quite neglected to take into account two sections of Alexander of Aphrodisias on this topic. Nearly identical in length and content, they contain objections to the atomist theory of vision by means of the (henceforth ‘idols’). In form they consist of a series of questions purporting to contain atomist doctrine. Each question is followed by objections to its subject-matter. Most of …

The Question of Mens in Lucretius 2.289
One of the most widely accepted emendations in Lucretius has been the change by Lambinus in 2.289 of the manuscript reading res to mens . For instance, of the major editors since Lachmann only Bockemüller, Merrill in his 1917 edition, and Martin in his Teubner editions have printed res . Also, few emendations in Lucretius are of equal significance for Epicurean doctrine because, as will be shown, some conclusions of important recent scholarship d…

Isidorus Pelusiotes, Epistulae 2.42 preserves an opinion of Plutarch on genuine Atticism
Training in Frugality in Epicurus and Seneca
Scholars do not seem to have attempted, as far as I know, to relate this practice to any of the major tenets of his ethics. Schottlaender, for example, thinks that it was merely a sort of competition in frugality between Epicurus and Metrodorus.2 However, if one considers its similarity to parts of Epicurus's section on a~TprpKELa in the Epistula ad Menoeceum3 (henceforth Ep. ad Men.), the exercise of Epicurus may have been more than a private am…

Sometime in the middle of the second century of our era Regilla, the patrician wife of the rich Athenian sophist Herodes Atticus,' dedicated to Zeus the well-known exedra, a sumptuously appointed outlet of an aqueduct built to provide good drinking water for those attending the Olympic Games. It was first excavated in 1877-1878, during the German campaign at Olympia. The definitive results were published in 1892 (architecture), 1896 (inscriptions…
