No general agreement has yet been reached about the meaning and purpose of Plato’s Menexenus. Two mutually exclusive readings have generally been given: Socrates’ funeral oration could be either a parody and a satire of Athens’ funeral speeches or an example of better, idealistic, maybe even philosophically grounded rhetoric. However, the problem does not only come from the dichotomy present in most scholars’ works. It lies, instead, in the ambiguity of the text itself. This paper aims to clarify the serious implications that parody can have. Exemplarity and parody, irony and seriousness should not be considered as mutually exclusive because an imitation that seriously demonstrates how easy it is to write a good epitaph can be understood as a form of parody. In fact, Plato’s Menexenus seems to be a school manifesto: it recalls Callicles’ charges against the educational value of philosophical practices (Grg. 484c-485d). Therefore, it may be directed against Isocrates’ conception of rhetoric as related to education and politics. The mention of the Peace of Antalcidas (245c) will then prove the topical and thus political character of this work.

The Greek ἦμαρ and the Armenian awr, both meaning 'day', are uniformly considered to be cognates without further correspondences within Indo-European. There is, however, no consensus with respect to the details of this etymological connection. The connection between ἦμαρ and ἡμέρα has thus far not found a satisfying solution concerning the origin of the rough breathing of the latter. Drawing and elaborating on an etymology proposed for awr and ἦμαρ by Klingenschmitt (1982), it will be shown that the spiritus asper of ἡμέρα can be traced back to the underlying Proto-Indo-European etymon. This in turn validates the reconstruction of the word for 'day' in Greek and Armenian as going back to the Proto-Indo-European root *h2 eh1 s- 'be hot, burn'.

In his Wars ( De Bellis ), Procopius shares an extraordinary tale about Emperor Honorius, who allegedly heard about the plunder of Rome from his poultry keeper. First, Honorius misunderstood the report because he also had a huge rooster that bore the same name as that of the city. Therefore, the central element of the tale is the misunderstanding between the emperor and his eunuch about the name “Rome.” However, the structural features of Procopius’ work – the rooster and its keeper together – form a narrative in which a fowl and Rome were not two entities but one. The possibility of being a monarch ruling over the Eastern and the Western sides of the empire, his aim guarded by the keeper, could have worried Honorius. This paper aims to reveal the historical event behind Procopius’ tale and its circumstances, that is, a meeting in mid-January 409 when Rome’s first siege was reported to Honorius by Terentius, who had taken an active part in securing the emperor’s prospective reign. It was in vain because Honorius was blinded by the possibility of becoming a monarch from the moment when he received the report of Arcadius’ death.
