The ‘Hippocratic Question’ and the Nature of the Hippocratic Corpus
The 'Hippocratic' Corpus: Content and Context
The Hippocratic Corpus comprises some sixty medical works of varying length, style and content. Collectively, this is the largest surviving body of early Greek prose. As such, it is an invaluable resource for scholars and students not only of ancient medicine but also of Greek life in general. Hippocrates lived in the age of Socrates and most of the treatises seem to originate in the classical period. There is, however, no consensus on Hippocrati…
Dogmatism, medical
The term “Dogmatism” is applied, somewhat artificially, to one of the medical “sects” regarded as originating in the Hellenistic period; the other main groups are Empiricism (at the opposite extreme from Dogmatism; see Empiricism, Medical) and Methodism (occupying an intermediate position).
Philoponus, On Aristotle On the Soul 1.1-2
Horizontal Transmission in the Hippocratic Tradition
The problem of intertextuality in the Hippocratic Corpus is addressed, with particular reference to Prorrhetic 1 and Coan Prognoses, which have blocks of prognostic material in common and which replicate passages of Epidemics. The relation between medical prognosis and religious divination is discussed. It is discovered that identical aphoristic wording is accompanied and probably safeguarded by metrical patterns, and argued that the compilers we…
Medical Reference in Euripides
The relation between medical texts and Euripidean drama is explored through a multiplicity of examples drawn from the extant plays and fragments. Emphasis is placed on the problems and limitations, as well as the potential and rewards, of comparing material from these different genres. First, the overlapping character of metaphorical and technical language is addressed, and the testimony of the lexicographer Erotian adduced. Allusion to various a…

Hippocrates: Places in Man. Edition, Translation and Commentary
Mantitheus of Lysias 16: Neither long-haired nor simple-minded
Hamaker's conjecture κομâ (for τολμâ, sic ) at Lysias 16.18 was adopted by Rauchenstein in his influential edition of 1869 and soon given powerful endorsement by Jebb and by Shuckburgh. Successive later editors and commentators have seen no reason to demur: Thalheim, Adams, Hude, Gernet and Bizos, Lamb, and finally Edwards and Usher all adopt κομâ, and, where they comment, unanimously cite Aristophanic parallels (especially Eq. 580) in support of…
The hippocratic treatise On Anatomy
On Anatomy (Anat.) is the shortest treatise preserved in the Hippocratic Corpus (HC). It describes the internal configuration of the human trunk. The account is for the most part descriptive, function being largely disregarded and speculation completely eschewed. Though systematic it is unsophisticated: two orifices for ingestion are linked by miscellaneous organs, vessels, and viscera to two orifices for evacuation. There is a clear progression …
The hoopoe's nest: Aristophanes, Birds 265–6
The appearance of Nan Dunbar's important commentary on Birds is to be welcomed. Inevitably, however, such a volume requires addenda et corrigenda ; and already the author must be collecting material for a second edition. Here is some pabulum . On the passage cited, Dunbar comments, ‘The difficulties of this sentence stem from uncertainty over (a) the form and sense of the main verb ... and (b) the point of χαραδρι⋯ν μιμο⋯μενος and its connection …
Phaidra's Aidos Again
W. D. Furley, ‘Phaidra's pleasurable aidos (Eur. Hipp. 380–7)’, CQ 46 (1996), 84–90 is in part a response to my article, ‘ in Euripides’ Hippolytos 373–430: review and reinterpretation’, JHS 113 (1993), 45–59. Furley states that I suggest that aidos is ‘a euphemism for aidoia, the genitals, thus = sex’. This is an over-simplification. I argue (at pp. 45, 55, 56) that ‘in this context, is a euphemistic metonymy for ’; that ‘in terms of linguistic …

Sophokles and the Sophists
In Philoktetes : Sophoklean Melodrama 1 it was argued that with Philoktetes Sophokles followed Euripides1 lead in writing a tragedy of less than complete seriousness. It is now further argued that Sophokles aimed in this play to present an allegorical comment on current trends in society, with a criticism of sophistic education and the ideals it inculcated, culminating in a reiteration of the traditional values it had undermined 2. The non-tragic…
Notes on Euripides' Andromache
Professor Stevens's fine edition of Andromache , which treats all kinds of problems–linguistic, textual, metrical, theatrical, and interpretative–with great authority in a well-balanced commentary, and in a short introduction deals succinctly with the main ‘background’’ questions, must have prompted many to look anew at the play; so prompted, I here offer some supplementary points, mostly of interpretation
Philoktetes: Sophoklean Melodrama
Les problèmes d'interprétation qu'a suscités cette pièce s'évanouissent dès que l'on se rend compte du rôle des éléments de mélodrame qui ont été introduits par imitation d'Euripide. On s'explique alors facilement l'intrigue, avec ses revirements, ses surprises et ses inconsistances, aussi bien que les rôles d'Ulysse, de Philoctète et d'Héraclès, qui visent tous â produire le même effet
