ABSTRACT:At 4.1.25–26 Propertius has a plowman perform the rites of the Lupercalia. But the Luperci were usually conceived of as herdsmen, and a plowman is hardly a suitable choice for a ritual that required those performing it to run about the place. This note suggests that Propertius is alluding to a second ritual, one which did involve a plow and which was also connected–like the Lupercalia– with Rome’s founders, Romulus and Remus.

ABSTRACT:This paper, based on characters such as Hephaestus or Typhon, defines the Greek mythical category of the "mother's son." It analyses the link between Ares and this type of character through the god's relationships with the female universe, and specifically with Hera, his mother, which help to determine the personality and attributes of the god of war, and his situation within the Olympian family. The similarities between Ares and the "mother's sons" makes it possible to study his mythological figure, explore the consequences of exclusively being "born of woman" or "born of man," and finally, to consider the situation of the feminine and the masculine in Greek mythology.

ABSTRACT:This paper shows that Tacitus patterns his account of the civil war between Otho and Vitellius in Historiae 1–2 on Lucan's account of the conflict between Pompey and Caesar in the Bellum Civile. The characters involved, the setting of the decisive clash, and the sequence of events of the two conflicts are analogous. By emulating Lucan, Tacitus suggests that the civil war that he is recounting is the worst of all times, for both sides implicated in the conflict are potentially harmful for Rome.

ABSTRACT:In his first prologue, the first-century Latin poet Phaedrus promises that his fables offer a double dowry, laughter and life lessons. This article explores the central importance of laughter for Phaedrus, who defines his fables as jokes meant to inspire laughter and learning—but not anger. Laughter in the fables is a mark of intellectual superiority, a safe way to teach lessons (even for the powerless), and a way to punish those who deserve it.

ABSTRACT:The tragedies of Euripides are composed of traditional mythological material, yet the characters in his tragedies question the validity of their own stories, including the involvement of gods and goddesses. Philosophy, historiography, and early mythography were rationalizing myths at the time when Euripides was composing tragedies. I present several scenes from his tragedies, which exemplify and parallel these other rational genres. My article maintains that Euripides used these approaches to innovate the art of tragedy and participate in the intellectual climate of his milieu.

ABSTRACT:Current pedagogical models for ancient history/civilization courses treat women as a "tourist topic" (Mohanty 2003) as they are slotted into the course with little to no connection to the course of Greek/Roman history. Despite any intentions to diversify survey courses, tourist topics reinforce unquestioned binaries of power whereby (citizen) men act in ancient history while women (and others) are objects acted upon. This paper reviews current pedagogical models for ancient survey courses alongside C. T. Mohanty's Tourist model of teaching before turning to strategies for integrating non-hegemonic groups into survey courses in a consistent fashion.
