William A. Johnson,
"Hesiod's Theogony: Reading the Proem as a Priamel": Theogony lines 1-115 exhibit, despite interruptions, the
classic features of a priamel, considering in sequence options for the poem's theme before arriving at a focus. |
| |
Johan Tralau,
"Revolt of the Images: Mutual Guilt in the Parodos of the Antigone": The play's first choral ode,
ostensibly a victory song for Thebes, employs ambiguous imagery that renders it ominous for both the victors and the vanquished. |
| |
Mogens Herman Hansen,
"An Update on the Shotgun Method": For estimating the population of classical Greece, literary sources prove to yield
higher numbers than the method based on territorial size, so that the sum is probably more than 7.5 million. |
| |
Sergio Giannobile and D. R. Jordan,
"On the Text of the Hipponium Tablet": The errors of form, grammar, and meter may best be explained as visual rather than mental, resulting from
a damaged archetype, and the first line can be tentatively reconstructed. |
|
Barbara Saylor Rodgers,
"Catulus' Speech in Cassius Dio 36.31-36": Catulus' reported warning about the power of Pompey, anachronistic
and showing borrowings from Demosthenes, is Dio's composition and cannot be used to understand the 60s B.C. |
| |
Alan Cadwallader,
"The Reverend Dr. John Luke and the Churches of Chonai": Luke's unpublished journal of his visit to western Anatolia in 1669/70
lists ten churches at Chonai/Colossae, which supports the arguments of Foss for the importance of the city
well into the Byzantine period. |
