Sappho and Sexuality
Chapter 3 of The Cambridge Companion to Sappho considers Sappho’s position in, and contribution to, ancient discourses on sexuality, as well as how modern theorists of sexuality have categorised Sappho.
Maternal perceptions of childhood vaccination
Vaccination decision making is complex and impacted by many factors that are similar but contribute to different decisions depending on mothers' perspectives. The results of this study indicate the need to examine new intervention approaches to increase uptake that recognize and address feelings of pressure and parental commitment to choice

The Disease of Mortality in Hesiod's Theogony
Hesiod's Theogony is not overtly concerned with the world of mortals. The place of humans in the Theogony nevertheless holds a certain fascination, perhaps more for what is not revealed—our origins, for example—than for what is. Focusing on a relatively neglected passage of the poem ( Theogony 521-32), I want to trace here the way Hesiod lays out the cosmic coordinates of kleos (‘fame’ or ‘glory’) with a view to better situating the condition of …

But these things, I think, Zeus and all the other gods know. For you there is no need to think about them. Instead, send me and order me repeatedly to beseech Queen Hera that Charaxos arrive here guiding a safe ship And that he find us safe. As f…
Recognition and the Forgotten Senses in the Odyssey
Recognition and the Forgotten Senses in the Odyssey Melissa Mueller (bio) Introduction Recognition in the Odyssey typically hinges on a visual or visualizable sign of some sort. There are, however, three recognition scenes—between Odysseus and his dog, his Nurse, and his bow—which turn instead on nonvisual triggers. Touch occasions Eurycleia’s recognition of her master, as it does Odysseus’s reunion with his bow, while there are strong hints that…
Discovery of a Leptospirosis Cluster Amidst a Pneumonic Plague Outbreak in a Miners’ Camp in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Conditions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo provide an ideal environment for leptospirosis and plague, both of which can cause severe pulmonary manifestations. In December 2004, an outbreak of lethal pneumonia occurred in a local mining camp, affecting 130 persons and killing 57 of them. Clinical signs, fast disease spread, and initial laboratory investigations suggested pneumonic plague. While leptospirosis had not recently been described…

Helen's Hands
Helen's Hands:Weaving for Kleos in the Odyssey Melissa Mueller (bio) When Helen offers Telemachus a robe she herself has made in book 15 of the Odyssey, she bestows her gift with the hope that it will act as "a monument to the hands of Helen" (, 15.126). Helen's peplos attests to the potential for handcrafted objects to immortalize those who have made them. It also serves as a useful reminder that even within Homeric epic, which in itself is an o…
Penelope and the Poetics of Remembering
Penelope's memory is celebrated within the Odyssey as the source of her fame and her husband's reputation, but it has failed to attract much scholarly attention. In this article, I examine Penelope's claim that she will remember her husband's house (19.581, 21.79) in the context of other statements (in the Odyssey and elsewhere) about female memory. I conclude that Penelope's remembering takes on monumental and epigrammatic qualities, making it n…
