Hermes in Book 1 of the Aeneid
This short note argues that at Aen . 1.487, in the midst of Virgil’s ekphrasis of the paintings on the temple of Juno in Carthage, the phrase tendentemque manus Priamum conspexit inermis alludes to the name of Hermes, the god who escorted the unarmed Priam from Troy to Achilles’ tent where he ransomed the body of Hector. This wordplay aligns with other instances in which the poet invites readers to observe his dextrous paronomasia, especially inv…

Conquest of the Mephistophelian Nausicaa
Now my charms are all o’erthrown”
When viewed as an intertextual narrative in the same way in which we read ancient literature, Clash of the Titans (1981) reveals a multifaceted story with links to literature, art, architecture, and cinema that reveal an underlying engagement with the theme of succession and replacement. Years after the film was released, the revered animator Ray Harryhausen acknowledged in his autobiography that his celebrated three-dimensional stop-action model…
Literature, Hellenistic
The extant literature of the Hellenistic period, primarily poetry, is characterized by learnedness, interest in non‐traditional topics, and a blending of previously discrete genres as a way of distinguishing itself from earlier Classical masterpieces. The most prolific center of intellectual life during this period was Alexandria with its celebrated Library and Museum that attracted some of the greatest minds of the period in all areas of researc…
Harvard Classics and the Harvard School
Harvard Classics and the Harvard School James J. Clauss To mere mortals, like an undergraduate classics major from the University of Scranton in 1974, Harvard was big time, the Broadway of American Altertumswissenschaft. Though I had had years of Latin and Greek, thanks to the Jesuits, my application to grad school there got no traction, sad to say. Yet after an M.A. from Fordham and Ph.D. from Berkeley, the door toward stardom opened momentarily…
The Hercules and Cacus Episode in Augustan Literature
The Homeric Hymn to Hermes was popular among Hellenistic poets. Apart from its humour, what appears to have caught their attention is the underlying mytheme of cattle as a symbol of power. Employing the Hermes hymn as part of the intertextual landscape has the potential to engage this theme. In his Hymn to Zeus Callimachus alludes to the archaic poem in the context of Ptolemy Philadelphus’ ascension to the throne of Egypt and Apollonius in the Ar…
The Gods of Greek Hexameter Poetry
This e-book explores the representation of the gods in Greek hexameter poetry in its many forms, including epic, hymnic and didactic poetry, from the archaic period to late antiquity. Its twenty-five chapters, written by an international team of experts, trace a broad historical arc, reflecting developments in religious thought and practice, and ongoing philosophical and literary-critical engagement with the nature and representation of the divin…
Nikander of Kolophon
Nikander of Kolophon is the author of two extant poems: Theriaca and Alexipharmaca . Unfortunately, ancient testimony regarding his precise dates is contradictory.

Descent into Hell
Many biographers and critics, when examining the films of John Ford, underscore the epic, folkloric, legendary, or mythic quality of his cinematic narratives.1 Ford was a voluminous reader, and so perhaps the mythic side of his work emanates in part from a wide exposure to literatures, oral and written, of various peoples and eras. For instance, in Ford's The Wings of Eagles (1957–the year after The Searchers), a joke is made about the Odyssey, a…
Conquest of the Mephistophelian Nausicaa
A Delicate Foot on the Well-Worn Threshold
The Best of the Argonauts
This revelatory exploration of Book One of the Argonautica rescues Jason from his status as the ineffectual hero of Apollonius' epic poem. James J. Clauss argues that by posing the question, Who is the best of the Argonauts? Apollonius redefines the epic hero and creates, in Jason, a man more realistic and less awesome than his Homeric predecessors, one who is vulnerable, dependent on the help of others, even morally questionable, yet ultimately …
