Nothing but Rhetoric? Rhetoric, Pragmatics and Myth-Making in the Agōn of Euripides’ Alcestis
This paper draws on Euripides’ Alcestis to propose a new way of approaching the tragic agōn . It reads the debate scene of that play not as a rhetorical showpiece but as a piece of dialogue and an interaction that follows the principles of communicative pragmatics. In this interpretation Admetus and Pheres do not aim to persuade each other about whether it would have been right for Pheres to sacrifice his life for his son; instead, father and son…
Euripides, "Ion"
Euripides' Ion is a highly complex and elusive play and thus poses considerable difficulties to any interpreter. On the basis of a new recension of the text, this commentary offers explanations of the language, literary technique, and realia of the play and discusses the main issues of interpretation. In this way the reader is provided with the material required for an appreciation of this entertaining as well as provocative dramatic composition
A Dialogic Soliloquy
In Euripides’ Hecuba , both the scholia and modern interpreters detect a failure of communication in the farewell scene between the protagonist and Polyxena—though the scholiast names Polyxena as the source of the non-dialogue, whereas the modern commentators claim that neither character is engaging. This paper aims, firstly, by a slight redistribution of lines, to restore coherence to the dialogue. Secondly, it argues that it is Hecuba’s rather …

Zum Angriff der Goten unter Kniva auf eine thrakische Stadt (Scythica Vindobonensia, f. 195v)
This paper completes the first presentation of the new historical fragments on Gothic incursions into the Balkans in the middle of the 3rd century AD. Coming most probably from the Scythica by Dexippus of Athens; the fragments have been preserved as palimpsest in the Vienna manuscript Vind. Hist. gr. 73. The paper contains a preliminary transcription; translation and analysis of one of the eight extant pages; fol. 195v; processed spectral images …
Ein neues Textstück aus den „Scythica Vindobonensia“ zu den Ereignissen nach der Eroberung von Philippopolis
Der vorliegende Beitrag enthält die erste Transkription einer weiteren Palimpsestseite der Scythica Vindobonensia, der neuen, vermutlich Dexippos von Athen zuzuweisenden Fragmenten zu den Goteneinfällen in den Balkanraum während des 3. Jh. n.Chr. Der neue Text (f. 194r des Codex Vind. Hist. gr. 73) schildert offenbar die bisher unbekannte Reaktion der Griechen auf die Neuigkeit, dass Kniva (im Jahr 250 n.Chr.) Philippopolis eingenommen habe: Die …
Interpreting Instability
The text that has been preserved among Plutarch's writings under the title βίοι τῶν δέκα ῥητόρων ( Lives of the Ten Orators , henceforth LTO ) is, on the one hand, an invaluable and often the best source about the canonical Attic orators: it is, for example, our only source for the verdict against Antiphon after the oligarchic revolution of 411 and for Lycurgus’ state copy of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. On the other hand,…
Praise and Persuasion
This chapter maintains that the two Idylls under examination (11 and 17) suggest the ubiquitousness of rhetorical culture and Theocritus' mastery of rhetorical art. They presuppose knowledge of rhetorical theory. Nevertheless, the rhetorical strategies employed suggest that the poet goes beyond the ‘dictates’ of contemporary theory. These two Idylls toy with the expectations of the audience by exposing the failures of mere adherence to rhetorical…
Meorum periculorum rationes utilitas rei publicae vincat . Zur Historizität der vierten Catilinaria
This paper proposes a reading of Cicero’s Fourth Catilinarian as a consistent and historically realistic attempt at urging the senate to punish the conspirators. Cicero struggles against the senators’ inclination to postpone a decision out of fear of the consequences which a severe sentence might have. The speech does not show signs of substantial revision or even contamination of several addresses Cicero made at different stages of the meeting o…

Divine Talk
The corpus of the Attic orators has long been recognized as a source for information about the mindset and life of ordinary Athenians. This book contributes to a differentiated understanding of religion in the Athenian public discourse by studying the references to religion and the use made of them in the corpus; it explores how the prominent orators differ in the sets of motifs they employ, in their strategies of persuasion, and thus in the imag…

New readings from an autopsy of the palimpsest Vat.gr. 73 help reconstruct an episode from Dexippus' "History after Alexander". It becomes possible to refute the theory of an Athenian bias of that work
