  • Sphragis 2: The Limits of Reality and the End of the Novel (10.41.3–4)

    Ian RepathCHAPTERReading Heliodorus' Aethiopica2022

    The previous chapter explores how Heliodorus’ sphragis evokes and inverts the conventions of self-identification recognizable from works of historiography and his generic predecessor, Chariton, who imitates the practice of writers such as Thucydides. Allusions to Odysseus and Achilles Tatius’ Clitophon, discussed in Chapter 17, raise questions of reliability and reality, which are in tension with the historiographical pose maintained by the novel…

  • Yours Truly? Letters in Achilles Tatius

    Ian RepathCHAPTEREpistolary Narratives in Ancient…2013

    This chapter focuses on a pair of letters in book five of Leucippe and Cleitophon , one from each of the protagonists, but reading them requires an appreciation, albeit brief, of Achilles Tatius' narrative technique. This is the only extant Greek romantic novel whose principal narrative is given by an internal narrator a narrator who took part in the narrative he narrates. The factor the author considers which has a bearing on a reading of Leucip…

  • Small Group Teaching: Perceptions and Problems

    Open AccessAmy Bogaard, Sonia C Carey et al.ARTICLEPolitics2005Cited by: 6References: 2

    Seminars and tutorials are a standard part of delivering teaching in politics departments. However, the range of methods used in such small groups is wide and varied as are the perceptions of the purpose of small group teaching (SGT). On the basis of interviews with students and lecturers, we highlight important differences between what lecturers hope to achieve and what students expect to learn in these sessions. We aim to provide a better under…

  • The naming of Thrasyllus in Apuleius' Metamorphoses

    Open AccessIan Repath, I D REPATHARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2000References: 5

    It is usually assumed that Apuleius gave one of his characters the name ‘Thrasyllus’ because of its etymological connection with θρασ. Indeed it is singularly appropriate and Apuleius himself draws attention to the fact: Thrasyllus, praeceps alioquin et de ipso nomine temerarius ... ( Met. 8.8). However, it does not follow that a name with such an etymological significance can have no other connotations: in this note I suggest that there is a fur…
