Minds on Stage
Abstract Greek tragedy provides the richest of materials for cognition studies. It thrives on minds: the minds of characters, whose cognitive achievements and, more often, limitations are almost constantly in the spotlight, and those of the spectators, who know more than the characters but can themselves be subtly misdirected, have to come to terms with events that are deeply disturbing ideologically and existentially, and, most fundamentally, ha…

Valuing Landscape in Classical Antiquity
Canonical Texts and Scholarly Practices
In this collection of richly documented case studies, experts in many textual traditions examine the ways in which important texts were preserved, explicated, corrected, and used for a variety of purposes. The authors describe the multiple ways in which scholars in different cultures have addressed some of the same tasks, revealing both radical differences and striking similarities in textual practices across space, time and linguistic borders. T…
Anchoring Innovation
Several periods in classical (Greco-Roman) antiquity provide an intriguing mix of being ‘in the grip of the past’ and profoundly innovative in all societal domains at the same time. A new research agenda of the Dutch classicists investigates this combination, under the hypothesis that the two are connected. Successful innovations must somehow be ‘anchored’ for the relevant social group(s). This paper explores the new concept of ‘anchoring’, and s…
Ancient Etymology
Fish Similes and Converging Story Lines in the Odyssey
It has long been noted that there are links between the Homeric portrayals of Odysseus' companions and the suitors. These two largely anonymous groups of Ithacans are connected not only by their ἀτασθαλίαι (‘reckless deeds’) but also by the fact that by the end of the Odyssey both groups will be dead. Clearly, these fatalities are – in their different ways – crucial to the story. Nagler regards the death of the suitors as a ‘grim inversion’ of th…

Tiberius Claudius Donatus, Interpretationes Vergilianae, CA. 400
Virgilius Maro Grammaticus, Epistolae and Epitomae, CA. 650
This chapter discusses Epistolae and Epitomae, two grammatical works written by Virgilius Maro grammaticus around 650. Both Epitomae and Epistolae deal with the parts of speech and use obvious elements of parody. An apparently important unifying theme is Virgilius's emphasis on the possibility that language has several meanings. The Epistolae and Epitomae are based on Donatus's Ars minor and Ars maior; the latter is devoted to ‘word-splitting’, e…
Thierry of Chartres, Commentaries on the De inventione and Rhetorica Ad Herennium, CA. 1130–1140
This chapter discusses commentaries written around 1130–1140 by Thierry of Chartres on De inventione and Rhetorica ad Herennium. Both works reflect Thierry's commitment to the language arts and the Platonist cosmology as well as his philosophical outlook regarding the ‘seminal causes’ of natural and divine truths. His prologue to the art of rhetoric also attests to his methodological innovation. In addition, Thierry makes a distinction between ‘e…
Martianus Capella, De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii, CA. 420–490
This chapter discusses De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii (The Marriage of Philology and Mercury), an influential commentary on the liberal arts written by the fifth-century author Martianus Capella. Due to its form, the prosimetrum, and its framework, an allegorised mythography and cosmology, De nuptiis is an ideal source of complete and reliable information about the seven liberal arts. The exposition of the arts is framed by a ‘plot’ whereby M…
Aesthetic Value in Classical Antiquity
How do people respond to and evaluate their sensory experiences of the natural and man-made world? What does it mean to speak of the 'value' of aesthetic phenomena? And in evaluating human arts and artifacts, what are the criteria for success or failure? The sixth in a series exploring 'ancient values', this book investigates from a variety of perspectives aesthetic value in classical antiquity. The essays explore not only the evaluative concepts…

Seven grammarians on the 'ablativus absolutus
In this article, the history of the so-called ablative absolute as a descriptive category is traced from the 3rd to the 20th century. Texts by Sacerdos, Diomedes, Priscian, Alberic of Montecassino, Kühner & Stegmann and Harm Pinkster illustrate how the ablative absolute is recognized long before it get its name, and how its role in grammatical description is invented, changes, and disappears again in accordance with the grammatical systems adopte…

Two Problems in Ancient Medical Commentaries
Thirty years ago, H. Flashar discussed the introduction to an anonymous commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates. The text contains an interesting picture of Hippocrates as a culture hero, who saved suffering humanity by the introduction of systematic medicine. The first section of this introduction offers some complicated problems. It ends with an extremely long and difficult sentence, which, has not yet been explained quite satisfactorily, an…
An emendation in Porphyry's commentary on Ptolemy's Harmonics
So far am I from rejecting the use of what has been well stated by others, that I would wish that everyone said the same things about the same things and, as Socrates puts it, in the same words, and then there would be no undisputed quarrelling among men about the matters at hand
The Emergence of Semantics in Four Linguistic Traditions
The aim of this study is a comparative analysis of the role of semantics in the linguistic theory of four grammatical traditions, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic. If one compares the organization of linguistic theory in various grammatical traditions, it soon turns out that there are marked differences in the way they define the place of ‘semantics’ within the theory. In some traditions, semantics is formally excluded from linguistic theory, and …

Free Speech in Classical Antiquity
This book contains a collection of essays on the notion of “Free Speech” in classical antiquity. The essays examine such concepts as “freedom of speech,” “self-expression,” and “censorship,” in ancient Greek and Roman culture from historical, philosophical, and literary perspectives. Among the many questions addressed are: what was the precise lexicographical valence of the ancient terms we routinely translate as "Freedom of Speech," e.g., Parrhe…
Communicating Cynicism
In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in ancient Cynicism, which has benefited in particular from renewed attention to the notion of rhetorical practice. It was recognised that even though the Cynics never formulated an explicit body of philosophical theories, their life-style could be analysed as the exercise of a philosophical rhetoric, intended to convey a particular set of ethical messages.
Language and Learning
The philosophers and scholars of the Hellenistic world laid the foundations upon which the Western tradition based analytical grammar, linguistics, philosophy of language, and other disciplines probing the nature and origin of human communication. Building on the pioneering work of Plato and Aristotle, these thinkers developed a wide range of theories about the nature and origin of language which reflected broader philosophical commitments. In th…

City, Countryside, and the Spatial Organization of Value in Classical Antiquity
The third in a series that explores cultural and ethical values in Classical antiquity, this volume examines the dichotomy between 'city' and 'country' in ancient Greek and Roman cultures. Fourteen papers address a variety of topics on this theme, and include a variety of methodological approaches—archaeological, iconographic, literary and philosophical. The book demonstrates that, despite a common rhetoric of polarity in antiquity that tended to…
Kakos, Badness and Anti-Value in Classical Antiquity
The fourth in a series that explores cultural and ethical values in Classical Antiquity, this volume examines the negative foils, the anti-values, against which positive value notions are conceptualized and calibrated in Classical Antiquity. Eighteen chapters address this theme from different perspectives –historical, literary, legal and philosophical. What makes someone into a prototypically ‘bad’ citizen? Or an abomination of a scholar? What is…
