  1. Tragic form and feeling in the Iliad.Richard B. Rutherford - 1982 - Journal of Hellenic Studies 102:145-160.
    These hours of backward clearness come to all men and women, once at least, when they read the past in the light of the present, with the reasons of things, like unobserved finger-posts, protruding where they never saw them before. The journey behind them is mapped out, and figured with its false steps, its wrong observations, all its infatuated, deluded geography.Henry James,The Bostonians, ch. xxxixThis paper is intended to contribute to the study of both Homer and Greek tragedy, and more (...)

  • Deux mythes de métamorphose en animal et leurs interprétations : Lykaon et Kallisto.Madeleine Jost - 2005 - Kernos 18:347-370.
    Lykaon est changé en loup pour avoir sacrifié un enfant nouveau-né à Zeus Lykaios; après lui, chaque année un homme serait transformé en loup sur le Lycée. Ces traditions ont d’abord été mises en rapport avec un dieu loup honoré par une confrérie de loups-garous. Puis l’interprétation « initiatique»s’est imposée : les lycanthropes, dont Lykaon fournirait le parangon, seraient une classe d’âge soumise à une initiation tribale. Maintenant, l’intérêt se porte sur Lykaon, pour son ambivalence « civilisé/sauvage » : sa (...)

  • Blindness as the threshold between life and death in seneca's oedipvs and phoenissae.Ricardo Duarte - 2021 - Classical Quarterly 71 (2):707-720.
    This article looks at the complexity of the thought processes that lead Seneca's Oedipus to choose the mors longa of blindness as punishment for his crime. It offers an analysis of the consolation of this existence on the threshold between life and death, notably with reference to the end of the Oedipus, but also of the sorrow of this liminal existence. The latter is described in Seneca's Phoenissae, which suggests an escape, by death stricto sensu, from the threshold represented by (...)

  • POxy 2509 and Callimachus' Lavacrum Palladis: αγιόχοιο Διòς κορη μεγλοιο.Mary Depew - 1994 - Classical Quarterly 44 (02):410-.
    In his excellent commentary on Callimachus' fifth Hymn, A. W. Bulloch has discussed the many allusions to earlier literature out of which this poem is made. He has, however, missed one: an allusion to Hesiod's Catalogue, which, as I shall show here, not only sheds light on one of the poem's most puzzling scenes – Athena's consolatio to the nymph Chariclo – but also helps to explain the articulation and function of the poem's first, so-called ‘mimetic,’ section.
