Wilamowitz's Correspondence With British Colleagues
Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848–1931) wrote surprisingly often to British colleagues. Usually it was a matter of a letter or two. The prolonged exchange with Gilbert Murray is the exception. More typical is the brief but important one with Sir James George Frazer. Extant evidence attests that he corresponded with some forty Englishmen and Scots. I omit Anglo-Irish: J.B. Bury, J.P. Mahaffy, L.C. Purser and the papyrologist, J.G. Smyly. Th…

Vita Aeschyli 9: Miscarriages in the Theatre of Dionysos
Anonymous, Vita Aeschyli 9 ( = TGF 3 T Al.30–32 Radt) preserves the following startling report concerning Aeschylus: Some say that at the performance of the Eumenides , by bringing on the chorus one by one, as he did, he terrified the audience so that children swooned and fetuses were aborted

Secreti Loqvimur: An Interpretation of Seneca's Thyestes
Athenian tragedies are dated by didascaliae that commemorate public performance, less satisfactorily by historical allusion or parody in dated comedy. Because Seneca's were never publicly performed and, therefore, lack didascaliae , and because precise historical allusions and comic parodies do not exist, we have no absolute date for Thyestes . Traditionally the tragedies are assigned to the eight year exile in Corsica (41-49). There the busy sta…

"The Staging of the Prologue of "Oedipus Tyrannus
CRITICS have not seen to heart of problem that concerns staging of prologue in Oedipus Tyrannus. general practice is to strive enthusiastically for grand spectacle. It will suffice to notice selected opinions. In his first scenic note Jebb observes:' Suppliantsold men, youths, and young children-are seated on steps of altars. A. E.

Parry on Sophocles, Oedipvs Tyrannvs 1271–4
The editors allow me four corrections of Mr. Parry's remarks in C.Q. N.S. X (1960), 268–70. Mr. Parry observes (p. 268, n. 4): ‘Calder says that Jebb wanted to translate by him . That is not correct.’ But Mr. Parry has just said that exemplifies ‘the common “I know thee who thou art” construction’ and has endorsed the view of Brunck, ‘Est autem’ etc. Brunck is saying that is the proleptic subject of the verb which is he, sc. Oedipus , therefore d…
