This collection of papers completes the published Academic Papers of Sir Hugh Lloyd-Jones, who has a worldwide reputation as one of the foremost classical scholars of his generation. It follows on from the two volumes published in 1990, reflecting his exceptionally wide interests in the fields of Greek epic, lyric, tragedy, comedy, Hellenistic literature, religion, and intellectual history. It contains important and thought-provoking recent articles on Prometheus Bound, ritual and tragedy, Greek religion and modern ethics
(R135) Fragmenta Aeschylea
(R136) Review of Calder et al., Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker
(109) Ritual and Tragedy
(108) Pindar, Pythian 8. 95–6
(100) Notes on the New Simonides
1. Fr. 11, 1–4 West. West’s placing of P.Oxy. 2327 fr. 6, with its account of a hero falling as a pine tree falls when it is cut down, immediately before P.Oxy. 3965 fr. 1, so that it refers to the death of Achilles, is most attractive. But can we be sure that fr. 6 does not come from a later part of the poem, where it might refer to the death of Mardonius or Masistius? 2. The poem began with a prooimion—West calls it a hymn—addressed to Achilles…
(R160) Review of Marchand, Down from Olympus
(R150) Review of Grafton, Defenders of the Text
Extract Anthony Grafton, Defenders of the Text: The Traditions of Scholarship in an Age of Science, 1450–1800. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1991. Pp. 330. Anthony Grafton as a young scholar working at the Warburg Institute was a pupil of the late Arnaldo Momigliano; he has been recognized as one of the leading experts on the history of classical scholarship since the publication in 1981 of the first volume of his biography of the grea…
(89) Erinyes, Semnai Theai, Eumenides
Extract This essay is offered to Sir Kenneth Dover as a token of gratitude for more than forty years of friendship and of my admiration for his work. It is of a more appropriate length than the originally intended article on 'Honour and Shame in Ancient Greek Culture' [Academic Papers II, 253–80], which is indebted to his splendid Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle; the present piece too touches on problems to whose solutio…
(98) Aeschylus, Eumenides 750–1
(R142) The Uses of Greek and Latin
Eleven of the fourteen papers collected in this volume were read at a Warburg Institute colloquium in June 1986, whose tone was set by a masterly lecture by Arnaldo Momigliano which is printed first. The aim of the volume, we are told in a brief but admirably succinct introduction, is to explore some areas of the classical tradition, combining philosophy with history, and to show how the study of Greek and Latin has shaped and informed almost eve…
(92) Pindar, Olympian 8. 53
That gnome is contained in l. 53, which follows immediately after the account of Poseidon’s return and his depositing of Aiakos, and it is followed directly by the mention of Melesias. Here is the text of ll. 53–9
(R149) Becoming Homer

The visitor to the library of the classical faculty at H…
(R118) Fragmenta Sophoclea
(R148) West on Aeschylus
Professor West’s text is preceded by a preface, written in clear and elegant Latin, of 85 pages. The frst section gives in nineteen pages a summary account of the manuscripts; for a fuller account one turns to Part III of Studies in Aeschylus. A short section dealing with the scholia and the testi-monia is followed by three pages that give a summary account of the results attained by the editor’s very considerable efforts to assign conjectures to…
(R155) Review of Woodbury, Collected Writings
(105) Lykaon and Kyknos
In the Alcestis of Euripides, Heracles complains of the hard fate that has brought him into conflict with so many sons of Ares, first Lykaon, then Kyknos, and now Diomedes (499–504)
(97) Omma in Sophocles, Electra 902 and Oedipus Tyrannus 81
(R157) Review of Arnott, Alexis
(101) Again the Tattoo Elegy
S. R. Slings, ZPE 98 (1993) 29 informs us that the publication by M. Huys, in Papyri Bruxellenses Graecae, ii/22 (Brussels, 1991) of another portion of the Sorbonne papyrus part of which was published by M. Papathomopoulos in Recherches de papyrologie, 2 (Paris, 1962), 99–111 ‘refutes a conjecture of Lloyd-Jones, namely that this poem is the work of Phanocles’. He may have been misled by Huys, who (p. 79) wrote of me ‘Il avait reconnu que le poèm…
(R151) Review of Grafton, New Worlds, Ancient Texts
Dr Vartan Gregorian, now president of Brown University, during his memorable tenure of the directorship of the New York Public Library asked Professor Grafton to see if the library’s resources would support an exhibition to display the cultural effects of the discovery of the Americas, to be celebrated on the occasion of the five-hundredth anniversary of the expedition of Columbus. That he could have found no better counsellor is amply demonstrat…
(115) Curses and Divine Anger in Early Greek Epic
(118) All by Posidippus?
(116) Zeus, Prometheus, and Greek Ethics
Much as the literature and art of Greece before the time of Plato have been admired, the notion that the ethics of that period might have much to teach us would have seemed bizarre to most people even as late as the nineteenth century. While the aesthetic appeal of the early Greek religion has been uncontested, it has been looked down on as a superstition which no thinking person could take seriously, and early Greek thinking has been esteemed on…
(96) Two Conjectures on Pindar’s Fourth Paean (50–3)
Ian Rutherford has lately been kind enough to allow me an early view of a detailed study of the paean he has been preparing, in which he has discussed the difficult problems of the Fourth Paean in detail. And now Lutz K?ppel has published a learned study of the same genre (Paian: Studien zur Geschichte einer Gattung (Berlin, 1992), which includes, in its third chapter (p. 87f.), the most detailed commentary on the Fourth Paean so far published. W…
(107+R163) Jane Ellen Harrison, 1850–1928
The lives of scholars do not always throw light upon their work, and are often too uneventful to make interesting reading. Some modern attempts to ginger them up result in a product not very far removed from gossip-writing.1 In recent times, a number of people have shown interest in Jane Harrison for the wrong reasons; in certain circles in America, she has been made a saint in a fashion that she herself would have deplored.2 But she led a more i…
