Lucian’s Gods
The Gods of Ancient Greece
The Greek gods are still very much present in modern consciousness. Although Apollo and Dionysos, Artemis and Aphrodite, Zeus and Hermes are household names, it is much less clear what these divinities meant and stood for in ancient Greece. In fact, they have been very much neglected in modern scholarship. This book brings together a team of international scholars with the aim of remedying this situation and generating new approaches to the natur…
Synesius, De Insomniis 2-3 Terzaghi and Plotinus, Enneades 2.3.7 and 4.4.40-44
That Plotinus and Porphyry lie behind Synesius' De insomniis is generally agreed, but it can be shown that two chapters in particular derive directly or perhaps through the intermediary of a commentary from Plotinus.

Pindar's Seventh Pythian and the Status of the Alcmaeonids as "Oikos" or "Genos
IN AN APPENDIX TO AN ARTICLE ON THE EUPATRIDS published in 1931 H. T. Wade-Gery argued that the Alcmaeonids were what Herodotus calls an oikie, i.e., real family descended from historical ancestor, and not genos or clan.1 His reasons for reaching this conclusion were that Herodotus (6.125.5) calls the Alcmaeonids an oikie, a that the Alcmaeonids as whole benefited from Croesus' generosity to Alcmaeon and from Megacles' marriage to the daughter of…
