From Readers to Readers
The struggle for sovereign reading is constitutive of Caribbean literature, and the long durée of colonialism and postcolonialism mean that it is still a current topic. In the Anglophone Caribbean, writers such as George Lamming, C. L. R. James, Derek Walcott, Austin Clarke, M. NourbeSe Philip, Jamaica Kincaid, and Michelle Cliff have all put the formation of the reading subject at the heart of Caribbean self-making. But it is only with Dionne Br…
Rehoming Derek Walcott’s Classicism
Derek Walcott and New Classical Horizons by Justine McConnell (review)
Needing to shout to be heard? Caregiver under-responsivity and disconnection between vocal signaling and autonomic arousal in infants from chaotic households
Children raised in chaotic households show affect dysregulation during later childhood. To understand why, we took day-long home recordings using microphones and autonomic monitors from 74 12-month-old infant–caregiver dyads (40% male, 60% white, data collected between 2018 and 2021). Caregivers in low-Confusion Hubbub And Order Scale (chaos) households responded to negative affect infant vocalizations by changing their own arousal and vocalizing…
Annual Research Review
During development we transition from coregulation (where regulatory processes are shared between child and caregiver) to self‐regulation. Most early coregulatory interactions aim to manage fluctuations in the infant's arousal and alertness; but over time, coregulatory processes become progressively elaborated to encompass other functions such as sociocommunicative development, attention and executive control. The fundamental aim of coregulation …
Rhetorical History
This chapter investigates the function of speeches in Thucydides’ work. It shows how speeches are used to advance the action of the story (using the examples of Brasidas’ speeches in Book 4 to illustrate this) and how they play on the expectations and assumptions of Thucydides’ rhetorically aware audience. The function of messengers is also discussed, along with the ‘soundscape’ evoked by less formal speech. Finally, the long-standing debate abou…
Sitting in Narrative
Returning to Dionne Brand’s A Map to the Door of No Return ( 2001 ) in light of its scholarly reception and Brand’s subsequent works, this article focuses on narration as a form of post-colonial redress with particular attention to Brand’s use of second-person narration as a device of counter-estrangement. Taking a cue from Brian Richardson’s description of the second person as an “unnatural” register of narration, it explores Brand’s use of the …
The Cambridge Companion to Thucydides
Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War is one of the earliest and most influential works in the western historiographical tradition. It provides an unfinished account of the war between Athens and her allies and Sparta and her allies which lasted from 431 to 404 BC, and is a masterpiece of narrative art and of political analysis. The twenty chapters in this Companion offer a wide range of perspectives on different aspects of the text, its i…
Thucydides in Times of Trouble
Thucydides in Times of Trouble
Behind the Mask
This new study of Menander casts fresh light not only on the techniques of the playwright but also on the literary and historical contexts of the plays. Menander (342/1-292/1 BCE) wrote over a hundred popular comedies, several of which were adapted by Plautus and Terence. Through them, he was a major influence on Shakespeare and Molière. However, his work survived only in excerpts and quotation until some significant texts reappeared in the ninet…
Thucydideses
This article revisits the theme of temporality in ancient Greek historiography through the lens of the Byzantine Histories of Laonikos Chalkokondyles, who fastened onto the device of the anachronic, proleptic future in Herodotus and Thucydides to license his apparently anachronistic device of writing in the language and persona of both, eighteen centuries after they wrote. In Laonikos’ account, his narrative is part of the future of ‘Greek’ histo…
Pericles’ Utopia
In this chapter, Greenwood looks afresh at the genealogy of utopias and utopianism in Classical Greek political thought (traditionally seen as originating with Plato’s Republic ). She identifies Thucydides’ Pericles as a utopian political thinker who offers a version of the imperial democratic polis as utopia and suggests that Pericles’ utopian vision was a provocation for Plato’s utopian thought. Greenwood argues that to conceive of Pericles as …
Surveying Greatness and Magnitude in Herodotus
Revisiting Fornara’s interest in the intersection between travel, geography, and Herodotus’ historical thought, this chapter argues that it is through studies in physical and spatial magnitude in geographical contexts, as described in his text, that Herodotus educates his readers in the challenge of interpreting geo-political power and its fluctuations over time. This has important implications for how we understand the geographical programme of …
Marginality, Canonicity, Passion
In recent years the discipline of classics has been experiencing a profound transformation, which affects not only methodologies and hermeneutic practices (i.e. how classicists read and interpret ancient literature) but also, and more importantly, the objects of study themselves (i.e. what they read and interpret). One of the most important factors has been the establishment of reception studies. The reception of classical literature and culture …
Thucydides on the Sicilian Expedition
This chapter analyzes Thucydides’ account of the Athenian invasion in Sicily in Books 6 and 7 of his History, focusing on the interpretative consequences of Thucydides’ Athenian focalization and the fact that the success of his account has obscured alternative perspectives on this invasion. Particular attention is paid to the narrative patterning of the Sicilian invasion as a “double war” that runs parallel to the main, overarching war between th…
Reappraising Stress Arousal Improves Performance and Reduces Evaluation Anxiety in Classroom Exam Situations
For students to thrive in the U.S. educational system, they must successfully cope with omnipresent demands of exams. Nearly all students experience testing situations as stressful, and signs of stress (e.g., racing heart) are typically perceived negatively. This research tested the efficacy of a psychosituational intervention targeting cognitive appraisals of stress to improve classroom exam performance. Ninety-three students (across five semest…
Futures Real and Unreal in Greek Historiography
Reception Studies
In spite of connotations of classics and the classical as an established tradition based around a stable canon, Greek and Roman classical antiquity has never been a fixed object of study. It has changed as our knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome has grown and shifted, and as a function of history, intellectual movements, and taste. Classicists have turned to classical reception studies in an attempt to chart some of the different encounters that…
Seeing Citizens
The myth of the ring of Gyges’ ancestor in Book II of Plato’s Republic is intended as a provocation by Glaucon, who narrates it, and by Plato as the external narrator exploring questions of civic justice. A ring that makes the (un)ethical subject invisible is problematic for any civic community, and to read this myth in the American present is to confront the issue of the visibility and invisibility of citizens and the relationship between citize…

Afterword
This afterword reviews the articles in this special issue on classical receptions in Eastern and Central Europe in light of debates about the cultural identity of classical reception studies and the dominant role that European classical receptions play in this field. I argue that the focus on Eastern and Central Europe draws our attention to different versions of and very different orientations within Europe, and thereby contributes to a decentre…

Thucydides and the Modern World
The ancient Greek historian Thucydides has had an enormous impact on modern historiography, political theory, international relations and strategic studies, but this influence has never been properly studied. This book brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the different facets of Thucydides' modern reception and influence, from the birth of political theory in Renaissance Europe to the rise of scientific history …
An Accidental Homer
The starting point for this chapter is Antonio Benítez‐Rojo's concept of the ‘path of words’ to explain the repetition of motifs in travel writers who undertake the same journeys. This repetitive path of words is an important route for the introduction of classical motifs into modern Caribbean literature. The chapter studies the constant return to Greece in Patrick Leigh Fermor's The Traveller's Tree: A Journey through the Caribbean Islands (1950…

Herodotus as a Critic
The first half of this chapter tries to relate the debate about Herodotus' reliability to issues of truth and fiction as they arise in the Histories. It argues that Herodotus' conception of his role and the way in which different critics have conceived of this role must be central to the process of establishing appropriate conceptions of truth for the work. The second half of the chapter considers the limitations of Herodotus' outlook and the cul…
Thucydides and the Shaping of History
Thucydides' work was one of the most exciting creations in the cultural history of Greece in the fifth century BC and it still poses fresh and challenging questions about the writing of history. There is a marked tension in Thucydides' History between his aim to write about contemporary events and his desire that his work should outlast the period in which he composed it. Thucydides and the Shaping of History addresses two important issues: how c…
Still Going On
"Still Going On":Temporal Adverbs and the View of the Past in Walcott's Poetry Emily Greenwood (bio) When he left the beach the sea was still going on. Omeros (7.LXIV.iii)1 The last line of Omeros hints at the open-ended eternity of art. At one level, the ending revisits Homer's Odyssey, in which the odyssey is projected beyond the frame of the poem.2 At another level, the ending of Omeros launches the poem's afterlife: like the sea, the poem wil…

Bridging the narrative (5.23–7)
The image of the bridge is germane to the spirit of a volume that seeks to identify and explain connections between different logoi in Herodotus' Histories . The bridges in Herodotus' work have the potential to reveal the constructedness of the narrative and the transitions between different sections within this narrative. Bridging can also represent the historical operation that twenty-first-century readers are obliged to perform as we attempt t…
Introduction
BACKGROUND This volume is devoted to the logoi of a single Book of Herodotus' Histories (Book 5). It derives from a Colloquium entitled ‘Reading Herodotus' held at the Faculty of Classics, Cambridge University in July 2002. The rationale behind the Colloquium was to gather together a group of Herodotean readers to explore the texture of individual logoi , their place in the structure of Herodotus’ narrative, and their significance for interpretin…
Homer in the Twentieth Century
This collection of essays explores the crucial place of Homer in the shifting cultural landscape of the twentieth century. It argues that Homer was viewed both as the founding father of the Western literary canon and as sharing important features with poems, performances, and traditions which were often deemed neither literary nor Western: the epics of Yugoslavia and sub-Saharan Africa, the keening performances of Irish women, the spontaneous inv…
Reading Herodotus
Reading Herodotus is a 2007 text which represented a departure in Herodotean scholarship: it was the first multi-authored collection of scholarly essays to focus on a single book of Herodotus' Histories. Each chapter studies a separate logos in Book 5 and pursues two closely related lines of inquiry: first, to propose an individual thesis about the political, historical, and cultural significance of the subjects that Herodotus treats in Book 5, a…

Postcolonialism
This article discusses the ‘dialogue’ between postcolonial theory and Hellenistic studies. It highlights this by exploring the act of will and self-identification by which Greece is appropriated to a particular culture, made its history, and put to its service. One important point to which the discussion draws attention is the potentially universal significance that this gives Hellenic studies: just because the appropriation of ancient Greece is …
