Character portrayal, good and bad, in the speeches of Isaeus
This chapter surveys the characterization of a range of figures in the eleven inheritance speeches of Isaeus. As well as characterizing the speaker, and the opponent and his associates, Isaeus regularly portrays other members of his client’s extended family in a poor light. This is set against the background of a general feeling in classical Athens that family members should not go to law against each other, but the standard inheritance cases (di…

Caminos y puestos de avanzada de los Horizontes Medio y Tardío en la sierra de Nasca
Desde hace tiempo se sospecha que los incas construyeron gran parte de su red vial reutilizando o modificando caminos ya existentes. Sin embargo, solo algunas de las sofisticadas y poderosas civilizaciones anteriores a los incas habrían tenido la necesidad o los recursos suficientes para construir grandes tramos de vías interregionales —que cruzaran áreas generalmente remotas y escasamente pobladas— ya fuera, primero, para conquistar pueblos y, s…
Wari state control of camelid caravan traffic between the coast and highlands of the southern Nasca region, Peru
Transport of burden across the rugged Andean landscape has been a challenge to the region’s people for millennia. That the domestication of New World camelids and the development of agro-pastoral economies in the Andes aided in easing this challenge is well known. More challenging is the task of discerning the historicity of Andean caravans – especially when much of it is hidden in the preliterate past. In short, how was this seemingly timeless f…
Stillness, Collaboration, and Assisted Movement
In this essay, I read Puerto Rican pop star Luis Fonsi’s 2017 chart-topping single, “Despacito” (Slowly), as emblematic of dominant global trajectories. While “slowness” is here equated to maximising the pleasures of heterosexual male desire, it becomes in the remixed version with English-language pop star Justin Bieber a symbol of resistance to colonial endeavours. I identify the objectified female in the original version as a “slow mover” in th…

How parents perceive screen viewing in their 5–6 year old child within the context of their own screen viewing time
The majority of parents in this study who exceeded the SV threshold expressed minimal concern and a relaxed approach to managing SV for themselves and their child(ren), suggesting a need to raise awareness amongst these parents about the time they spend engaging in SV. Parents may understand their SV-related parenting practices more clearly if they are encouraged to examine their own SV behaviours. Designing interventions aimed to create environm…

Pataraya
The research reported in this article explores Wari imperial strategies in the upper Nasca Valley of south-central Peru and, building on previous research, documents the flexibility and diversity of those strategies. The focus of these investigations is the site of Pataraya, a small Wari provincial outpost, and its environs. Despite its size, the rectangular enclosure at Pataraya is well planned and conforms to the canons of Wari state architectu…

Decorated Spindle Whorls From Middle Horizon Pataraya
The production of cloth, even to meet a community’s most basic needs, is one of the most time-consuming activities in non-industrial societies. This would have been all the more true of the beautiful textile arts of the Andean Middle Horizon. This paper presents data on a common artifact class related to textile manufacture, spindle whorls, recovered during excavation at Pataraya, a Huari colony located along a likely trade route between the sout…

Associations between the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory and the Personality Assessment Screener in a Nonclinical Sample
Associations between two screening inventories of psychopathology were investigated using a sample of 156 first-year undergraduates. Analyses supported the reliability and validity of all Holden Psychological Screening Inventory scales, but only of some of the Personality Assessment Screener scales. Orthogonal dimensions of Depression, General Distress, and Antisocial Tendencies represented the common latent structure of the two inventories
Neoplatonic Saints The Lives of Plotinus and Proclus by their Students
These two texts are fundamental for the understanding not only of Neoplatonism but also of the conventions of biography in late antiquity. Neither has received such extensive annotation before in English, and this new commentary makes full use of recent scholarship. The long introduction is intended both as a beginner’s guide to Neoplatonism and as a survey of ancient biographical writing. ... this book will serve as a stimulating introduction to…
Clement of Alexandria and His Doctrine of the Logos
Le but de cet article est de montrer qu'il n'y a aucune raison de penser que Clement d'Alexandrie et ses successeurs aient pu accepter l'une ou l'autre des theories heretiques sur le Logos. Dans un premier point, l'A. prouve que la formulation classique de la theorie des «deux etapes» n'etait pas une donnee universelle au temps de Clement. Dans un deuxieme point, il met au defi les arguments philologiques et philosophiques ajoutes pour prouver qu…

Aeternus Lepos
In a recent article and a subsequent book Charles Segal finds a paradox in the writing of Lucretius, a paradox which, it might appear, was not to be evaded if the author wished to be both an Epicurean and a poet. On the one hand, his creed makes death as certain for the world as for its denizens and the hope of immortal glory an ignis fatuus ; on the other hand, the poet has all the mortal frailties and as much desire as any Roman author for the …

Damis the Epicurean
Damis is a character in, and his memoirs the putative source of, Philostratus' Life of Apollonius of Tyana . Many scholars have doubted the existence of these memoirs, some the very existence of the man. Against the latter party Graham Anderson has advanced an ingenious argument, which attempts to prove that the Damis whose existence has been doubted is identical with a bearer of the same name to whom existence has hardly ever been ascribed. His …

Aidōs in Plotinus
At one point in his treatise against the ‘Gnostics’ Plotinus treats his adversaries as men of flesh and blood, not merely as proponents of false books and false beliefs: For I feel a certain shame ( aidōs tis echei ) with regard to some of my friends ( philoi ), who, having chanced upon this doctrine before the beginning of our friendship, have continued to adhere to it for reasons that I cannot understand. Not that they themselves show any compu…

Herodotus and Mithras
Treading the Aether
As befits the proem to so original and immense an undertaking, this passage echoes, in order to retort them upon their inventors, the mythopoeic commonplaces of other ancient schools. One such commonplace was the assertion that some man was the first to effect a revolution in life or thought: those who held with Empedocles that Pythagoras was the first to see beyond his generation, or with Aristotle that Thales was the earliest cosmogonist and Pl…
