Textual Notes on Ps.-Dioscorides, on Simples
This article discusses the text of the work On Simples attributed to Dioscorides. It argues that in fifteen places the transmitted text is faulty, and it proposes emendations. It also studies certain types of insertions made in the text by its most recent editor, Max Wellmann, and concludes that they are unnecessary. Finally, it discusses two points where On Simples sheds light on Dioscorides’ De materia medica

Speaking Names in Senecan Drama
Archetypes on the American Screen
Within the American cinematic gestalt, we are continually offered portrayals of the individual redemptive journey. Filmmakers repeatedly portray versions of the hero and anti-hero. These figures have their roots in age-old mythological and religious characters, and are easily identifiable in the traditional Western and more recent Road Movies. This paper compares the mythic Odysseus and the Christian Testament’s St. Paul in an examination of the …
Annaeana Tragica
This volume is a companion to the author's new Loeb edition of Seneca's tragedies (vol. 1, 2002; vol. 2, 2004).

Construction of the Self in Senecan Drama
The characters of Senecan tragedy are more inward-looking than those of Greek tragedy. One aspect of their inwardness lies in their fierce attempts to define and assert identities for themselves, through their names, actions, family history, mythical precedents, social roles etc. These self-assertions are driven by desire in many forms, chiefly desire for recognition by others, and are closely connected with the tragic outcomes of the dramas. One…
Transpositions and Emendations in Seneca's Tragedies
THE TEXT OF SENECA'S DRAMAS, like other verse texts from antiquity, has suffered from occasional misplacement of lines. The most common cause of such misplacement is that the scribe's eye skips one or more lines, which are therefore omitted; when the error is noticed the omitted lines are written in the margin, and a subsequent scribe then re-inserts them in the text, but in the wrong place. A sample of corrective transpositions in Seneca which h…
Seneca in Performance
The plays of Seneca the Younger, minister and philosopher under Nero, are today increasingly studied, appreciated - and performed. Here, in a collection of papers from an international cast, scholars explore both established questions, such as the playwright's subtleties of characterisation, his relation to contemporary Roman spectacle and art - and the problems arising in translating him to modern text or stage.
