| Mogens Herman Hansen, "Democratic Freedom and the Concept of Freedom in Plato and Aristotle": Among the several meanings of eleutheria used by Greeks in the classical period, democratic freedom is rejected by both Plato and Aristotle, who do not articulate a theory of political freedom but rather confine eleutheria to a social context. | |
| Daniel W. Berman, "The Landscape and Language of Korinna": Korinna's expoitation of Boeotian topography and dialect in order to express wider epic themes resembles Hellenistic poetic developments, and this agrees with other evidence that would place her in the later fourth century B.C. | |
| Maria Ypsilanti, "Deserted Delos: A Motif of the Anthology and its Poetic and Historical Background": A series of epigrams on the topos of the abandonment of Delos shows the influence of Callimachus' Hymn to Delos, even while the writers dispute his praise of the island in light of its decline after 166 B.C. | |
| Søren Lund Sørensen, "Eine Anspielung auf Kallimachos im 3 Makkabäerbuch": 3 Macc. 1.4 (the loosening of Arsinoë's locks) makes an allusion to the Coma Berenices of Callimachus (the cutting off of the lock of Berenice), with the implication that the god of the Jews gave victory to the Ptolemies in the battle of Raphia. | |
| Maren Niehoff, "The Symposium of Philo's Therapeutae: Jewish Identity in an Increasingly Roman World": Philo's description of the sober Jewish symposium in De vita contempletiva resembles the attitude of the contemporary elite in Rome and caps a growing disparagement of the traditional Greek symposium that can be traced through his earlier writings. | |
| Philip F. Venticinque, "Family Affairs: Guild Regulations and Family Relationships in Roman Egypt": The charters and the prosopography of guilds in Egypt show that, rather than compensating for economic or social weakness, membership strengthened and multiplied existing family and other networks in ways that furthered success and prosperity. | |
| Juan Pablo Sánchez Hernández, "Procles the Carthaginian: A North African Sophist in Pausanias' Periegesis": Procles, cited by Pausanias (in the imperfect tense) about a display in Rome and for an opinion about Pyrrhus of Epirus, probably was not a historian of Hellenistic date, but a contemporary sophist whom Pausanias encountered in person. |
