Scientific Societies Fostering Inclusivity in the Life Sciences Through Engagement of Undergraduate Scientists
Scientific societies serve as communities of practice in which scientists develop many of the skills and connections required for the progression of their careers. For example, scientific societies offer their members opportunities to attend career development programs, gain experience in communicating science, and receive recognition for achievements within their discipline. Programming for undergraduate student members has recently been increas…
Warding off a Hailstorm of Blood
In Isthmian 7 Pindar celebrates the victory of Strepsiades of Thebes. In place of the usual mythic narrative the centrepiece of this poem is the commemoration of the homonymous uncle of the victor, who died gloriously in battle defending his homeland. This paper develops the view that we can see not only the influence of Callinus and Tyrtaeus, but also the way in which Pindar understood martial elegy, especially in its protreptic presentation of …
Sociolinguistics of Style and Social Class in Contemporary Athens, written by Irene Theodoropoulou
This study examines the Greek language as used by residents of the Western (dp) and Northern (vp) suburbs of Athens. Theodoropoulou offers an original theoretical perspective and draws on a wide range of data-from ethnographic interviews to popular literature, television, hip-hop, and Facebook-to document special features and discourses characteristic of speech styles identified with vp and dp. These features and discourses are discussed in relat…
Vipers and Lost Youth: A Note on Old Age in Early Greek Epic
It is well known that in early Greek epic old age was something that could be scraped off a man, and it is the purpose of this note to explore the image and to suggest a possible origin. The idea is first attested in a counterfactual conditional sentence in Phoenix's speech at Il. 9.445–6: ‘nor even if [a god] himself were to undertake to render me young and flourishing after scraping off old age ...’ (οὐδ' εἴ κέν μοι ὑποσταίη αὐτός | γῆρας ἀποξύ…
Doing without the Fez: Greek Language Questions
This definitive history of the Greek Language Controversy shows how Greek's status as a prestige language galvanized a national movement attracting various ethnicities of the Millet-i rum . The status of classical Greek resonant in Adamantios Korais's katharévousa helped consolidate the Greek state. An alternate demoticist programme, anticipated by Katartzis, developed in the Ionian Islands, and formulated by Psycharis, took hold through the effo…

"The Hyperboreans and Nemesis in Pindar's "Tenth Pythian
THE CENTRE-PIECE OF THE TENTH PYTHIAN is the account of Perseus' visit to the land of the Hyperboreans. In lines 27 ff. Pindar reflects on the limits imposed on the human condition; he then presents an example of a mortal who succeeded with the help of a god (45) in transcending the ordinary restraints and travelled the OaButaa& 6l66 to the land of the Hyperboreans. According to Pindar's portrait, the Hyperboreans enjoy a special felicity in the …
The Power of Aphrodite: Bacchylides 17,10
Bacchylides' Seventeenth Dithyramb concerns the conflict between Theseus and Minos on board the ship that carries the fourteen Athenian youths and maidens to Crete1). The poet is here following a tradition in which Minos himself comes to Athens to collect (or choose) the victims for the Minotaur (see Jacoby on Hellanicus, FGrHist 323a F 14). Bacchylides has set this conflict within the framework of the actions and influence of the gods. The wind …
Empousa, Dionysus and the Mysteries: Aristophanes, Frogs 285ff
In Frogs Aristophanes presents the comic katabasis of Dionysus, whose quest is to bring back the recently deceased Euripides and restore him to the Athenian literary scene. In the prologue Dionysus and his slave, Xanthias, seek out Heracles and ask his advice about the journey below. After some comic play, as they consider various short-cuts, Heracles finally gives Dionysus a serious lesson in Underworld geography (136–64). The various items on t…
