Abstract:It is generally held that the Romulean tribes were connected somehow with gentes and that membership of them depended on birth. Servius Tullius subsequently created an entirely different system of tribes, one based instead on residence, with the result that Roman citizenship could now be granted to others. Although this is the orthodox view of the Romulean tribes, it is not only based on hardly any evidence, but it actually requires that most of the evidence there is must be discarded. This paper reassesses the evidence for the Romulean tribes. It would appear that it ultimately derives from M. Terentius Varro’s reconstruction of Romulus’ Rome. As such, it sheds no light on archaic times.

Abstract:The narrative and figurative inversions in the Iliad’s central battle books function like a large-scale reverse simile. Just as similes force the audience to assess likeness and difference by comparing unlike terms, so when the Achaian camp adopts features of a city under siege, the audience is compelled to consider how the Trojans and Achaians are, and are not, like one another. In building this simile-like reversal, the poem’s poetic devices are integrally at work with its narrative structure. The transposition has a universalizing effect—the story of your enemy may be like your own—even as the inversion makes the audience reconsider distinctions between the two sides at war.

Abstract:In this article, I argue that the divinely driven legitimation of Neoptolemus’ bastard child in Euripides’ Andromache may have evoked in the minds of the audience the legitimation of Athenian bastards that, as E. Carawan first proposed, took place after the outbreak of the plague in Athens in 430 bc.

his volume is a groundbreaking study of how Classical texts, tropes, figures, art, myths and history have been received, used, deployed and interpreted within the Black Atlantic. The book aims to show how artists and intellectuals in the Black Atlantic have excavated the classical texts, images, narratives and practices in order to imagine new possibilities. The essays emphasize the outcomes of slavery’s aftermaths by way of various geographical (dis)location and cultural connections. The volume is divided into three parts: 1) Wakes, 2) Journeys and 3) Tales. The editors grace the book with a programmatic Introduction in which they lay out the aims and contours of the project. Paul Gilroy’s famous work on the Black Atlantic provides the broad conceptual framework for these analyses of the reception of the classics in the diasporic world.

Abstract:In this article we analyze explicit expressions of pity among family members within Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis and Sophocles' Electra with particular attention to the closeness of individuals involved and the merit for misfortune, two categories informed by Aristotle's definition of pity in the Rhetoric. Instances within these plays suggest that a type of estrangement exists between pitier and pitied while the question of whether one's misfortune is merited can be ignored in favor of assumed obligations to kin. This interpretation sheds light on the instance of pity found between father and son in Aeschylus' Persians.

Abstract:This paper explores the depiction of magic in Amores 3.7, an elegy in which "Ovid" suffers from impotence and wonders if a witch is to be blamed for his predicament. Adding to existing metapoetic readings, I argue that the poem combines allusions to famous witches from earlier Greco-Roman literature with detailed evocations of actual rites that are familiar to us from the material record, such as the piercing of magic dolls and the casting of binding and separation spells. These acts were meant to cause the same deathlike sensations that Ovid experiences in Am. 3.7, which means that—even though the poem ultimately calls the efficacy of magic into question—it nevertheless provides a "realistic" portrayal of these spells' imagined effects.
