- Reassurance and Doubt in Homer’s Odyssey.K. Paul Bednarowski - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):3-22.Our Odyssey is shaped by oral poetics but also by storytelling techniques developed to attract and hold audiences’ attention. From Odysseus’s first appearance, episodes consistently bring to mind his revenge plot against the suitors and test the qualities and skills he will need to carry it out. These episodes offer reassuring evidence that Odysseus will defeat the suitors balanced by doubt-inducing signs that he will fail. Taken together, these episodes elicit hope and fear, the constituent elements of suspense, regarding Odysseus’s (...)
- Aὐτὸς γνώσῃ. Gorgia e Filebo.Marco Gemin - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):40-49.The abrupt beginning of the Philebus refers to the abrupt interruption of the dialogue with Callicles in the Gorgias. The reuse of the phrase αὐτὸς γνώσῃ (Phlb. 12a9 = Gorg. 505c9), unique in Plato, is an evident sign of the will to connect the two texts and contexts. Both of them deal with the problem of the interruption of the philosophical dialogue. The absolute lack of contextualization and the ‘open’ conclusion in the Philebus are consistent with this framework. The continuity (...)
- Pullus, Pullius, and Pulcher.C. F. Konrad - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):120-126.It is argued that (1) the alleged violation of the auspices by both the Consuls of 249 B. C. did in fact occur and (2) resulted in separate prosecutions directed at each of them; (3) the name ‘Pullius’, reported for one of the plebeian Tribunes that prosecuted P. Claudius Pulcher, is probably authentic; (4) the cognomen of L. Iunius Pullus is not spun out the violation of the auspices attributed to him and his colleague; and (5) the cognomen ‘Pulcher’, first (...)
- Decte il mendico (sch. Od. 4.248 P.).Walter Lapini - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):105-108.
- A Note on Aeschylus, Choeph. 68.Enrico Medda - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):109-114.This paper proposes a slight emendation at Aesch. Choeph. 68, which allows to rescue the transmitted adjective διαλγής by referring it to the sufferer instead that to Ate, and to recover at the same time a connective particle which many editors missed in the passage.
- Die Briefe Frontos und senatorische Interaktion mit dem Princeps in der Hohen Kaiserzeit.Christoph Michels - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):50-70.The epistolary corpus of M. Cornelius Fronto, the rhetoric teacher of the ‘princes’ M. Aurelius and L. Verus, offers valuable insights into the functioning of the monarchical order of the Principate, despite the seemingly trivial subject matter of many of his letters, due to the unique level of communication. Especially the communication with the domus Augusta provides important additions to the comparable letters of Pliny the Younger. While scholars have so far concentrated on Fronto’s relationship with his pupil Marcus, this (...)
- Una nota ad “Airone” (“Ciris”) 15: quattuor antiquis heredibus est data consors.Włodzimierz Olszaniec - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):127-128.It is argued in this note that the word quattuor in line 15 of the “Ciris” should be emended to quatenus. A possible cause of error is also suggested.
- Phileas of Athens and Skymnos of Chios in Ailios Theon’s Progymnasmata.Marc Steinmann - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):115-119.In the Armenian tradition of Ailios Theon’s Progymnasmata two otherwise unknown historians occur. By examining the context of the passage and comparing it with authors like Philostephanos, it is made plausible that the ‘unknown’ historians are Phileas of Athens and Skymnos of Chios, whose names are misspelled in the Armenian text.
- The End of Sophocles’ Philoctetes and the Significance of ΓΝΩΜΗ.Ruobing Xian - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):23-39.In this article, I argue for Sophocles’ dramatic use of γνώμη-language at the end of his Philoctetes. Through a thorough analysis of the phrase γνώμη … φίλων at l. 1467, I demonstrate how Sophocles drew on the contemporary resonances of γνώμη in Athenian legal contexts to make the play’s final scene rich and complex. In addition, the tension between the mortal and divine worlds, which is a recurrent theme in the play, is mirrored in the expression γνώμη … φίλων, which (...)
- The Agricultural Preface between Rome and China.James L. Zainaldin - 2023 - Hermes 151 (1):71-104.This paper compares the preface of Columella’s Res rustica with that of the earliest fully extant Chinese agricultural treatise, the Qimin yaoshu (‘Essential Techniques for the Common People’) of Jia Sixie. I argue that both prefaces have a similar function: to present to the reader the social world in which the author wishes his agricultural work to be understood. By drawing on authoritative literary and historical traditions, each author projects an idealized vision of farming in which the discipline acquires a (...)
