Dossier
Dossier : Comment se définissent et se construisent les émotions en Grèce ancienne ? Comment sont elles instrumentalisées ? Différents types d’émotions (la douleur, l’amour, la jalousie, le dégoût, la haine, la colère, etc.), leur valeur, leur place et leurs fonctions sont analysés. Les auteurs se demandent si et en quoi, pour les Anciens, leur perception, leur description et leur compréhension, ainsi que leur pratique diffèrent des nôtres. Varia…
Looks of Love and Loathing
Cette étude s’occupe de l’interaction des modèles culturels de l’émotion. Plus particulièrement elle examine l’amour et la jalousie, notamment en rapport avec les modèles populaires et scientifiques de la vision tels qu’ils étaient perçus dans l’antiquité. Alors que le rôle joué par les yeux dans l’expression des émotions s’entrelace avec les croyances largement répandues sur la vision comme processus matériel tactile équivalent au touché et prov…
Weeping and Veiling
Pursuing the GoodEthics and Metaphysics in Plato's Republic
This volume comprises a selection of papers from the conference entitled 'The Good and the Form of the Good in Plato's Republic' held in Edinburgh in 2005. It brings together contributions on a closely defined topic central to Plato's thought and to ancient philosophy.
Law, Rhetoric and Comedy in Classical Athens
A substantial collection of original work from an authoritative international cast. Main themes are: the detail and development of Athenian law; the life and work of the Attic orators in their political contexts; the implications of recent papyrus discoveries for the texts of major authors; the intersection of Attic Old Comedy with Athenian law, politics and society
Off with her ΑΙΔΩΣ’
Confronted with the suggestion that he contrived to see Candaules’ wife naked, Gyges immediately expresses his horror (Herodotus 1.8.3–4)
Homer
Aidōs
This is the first study in English to examine across the range of Greek literature one of the most crucial terms in Greek ethical and social discourse, aidos. Commonly rendered ̀shamé, ̀modestý, or ̀respect́, aidos is also notoriously one of the most elusive and difficult Greek words to translate. In this book Dr Cairns discusses the nature and application of aidos and other relevant terms in a number of authors, with particular emphasis on their…
Mixing with Men and Nausicaa's Nemesis
This discussion concentrates on the meaning of Nausicaa's words in lines 286–8, in particular on the force of the phrase κα⋯ δ' ἄλλῃ κτλ. and the sense of the verb μ⋯σγηται. On the latter Hainsworth comments, ‘In later usage the simple verb in such a context is used as a euphemism for the sexual act. The line must have sounded most odd to the classical age.’ Thus he translates ‘associate with’, citing Odyssey 7.247 as an exact parallel; since, in…
