Whose Honour? Hybris, Slavery and the Athenian Law Once More
It has been a very great pleasure
Team‐based learning
Despite more than 90% of clinical contacts taking place in primary care, classroom learning in medical school is often prepared and facilitated by hospital clinicians. With rising medical student numbers and over-stretched GPs and practices struggling to offer clinical placements, our challenge was to provide students with quality campus-based learning about real primary care problems, facilitated by GP tutors. Team-based learning (TBL)1 offered …
Twelve tips for teaching in virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that is seeing increasing use in medical education as a means to complement or prepare students for clinical practice in a safe space. Whilst effective for learning, it can be difficult to use effectively and requires significant planning to avoid the technological tail wagging the educational dog. We have run educational sessions using the technology to teach anatomy and clinical reasoning that have been well…

Socialisation, identity and violence in classical Greek cities
This chapter considers the role of education and military training in Greek cities in helping to contain violence in their societies, to channel legitimate violence against enemies, and to defend the boundaries of the community. One justification for Steven Pinker’s neglect of ancient Greece may be that, as is universally agreed, no usable statistics for homicide or other violent crimes can be suggested for any Greek state at any time. In the lat…

Founded in 1683 in Leiden, the Netherlands, Brill is a leading international academic publisher in the Humanities, Social Sciences, International Law, and Biology.

Thucydides and Civic religion
It is now universally accepted that stasis, its causes, patterns, extension and effects, is fundamental to Thucydides’ conception of why his war was the most significant and the most socially destructive the Greeks had ever experienced. The theme is explored in great detail in an excellent recent book, Jonathan Price’s Thucydides and Internal War, which demonstrates how the perception that stasis caused a massive dissolution of social values, pra…

Ombres de Thucydide
Durant toute l’Antiquité, l’historien Thucydide a constitué une référence obligée et un modèle qui a inspiré nombre de continuateurs et d’imitateurs, en milieu grec et à Rome, que ce soit pour sa méthode ou pour les caractéristiques formelles de son œuvre. Cet engouement, qui a perduré jusqu’au Moyen Âge byzantin et ne s’est pas démenti à la Renaissance, redouble à partir du xviiie siècle, au moment où l’histoire se construit comme « science » : …
The Culture of Competition
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction: The Origins of Greek Athletics The Development of Crown and Money Games The Rewards to the Victors Purposes, Training, and Professionalism Competition and Politics in the Late Archaic Period: Pindar's Epinicians Competitive Participation and the Advance to Democracy: Cleisthenes' Athens
Chapter Eight. The Bad Boyfriend, The Flatterer And The Sykophant
This chapter has three sections, all of which seek to bring into closer association the three abusive character stereotypes of the title designating individuals in Athens as (a) a pornos , euruproktos , katapugon or other label for an immoral boyfriend of an older man; (b) a kolax or other label for flatterer or toady; (c) a sukophantes , one involved in legal operations for the wrong motives. It seeks to justify the claim that these three labels…

‘Let envy be absent’
Popular Morality in Herodotus
This chapter states that the most debated area of 'popular morality' in Herodotus concerns its role in his analysis of the major decisions of the leading states and his complex categories of historical explanation. In his opening sentences Herodotus makes it clear that he sees it as his business to explain why major conflicts start, and to record how cities as well as individuals rise and fall, fall and rise, in changing patterns of human mutabil…
Hybris, Status and Slavery
Hybris (as I and others have been arguing for some years)3 is essentially the deliberate infliction of serious insult on another human being. At the heart of the concept lies the idea of the personal honour (time) of the individual, and to treat someone hybristically is to behave to them as if they were of lesser status-timethan they can legitimately lay claim to. As Aristotle said, in what is by far the best ancient discussion of hybris, ‘dishon…
