ABSTRACT:Students in large-enrollment humanities courses need each other and frequent instructor feedback to learn complex concepts. This article details active learning techniques and assessments that we used to increase student communication, engagement, and learning in a large-enrollment, university-level Greek mythology course. We first inventory these techniques, including polling, structured-analysis activities, and two-stage exams, before demonstrating them at work with a concept central to our course, the oral palimpsest. We then assess their effect on student learning and show how expanded opportunities for communication and practice increased student comprehension of a difficult mythological concept.

ABSTRACT:The cultural presence of Homer's Odyssey throughout literary history cannot be understated. It is a text that has inspired endless reading and adaptation, especially in the twenty-first century. One new adaptation stands out among the ever-growing list of Odyssey reinterpretations. Daniel Mendelsohn's 2017 memoir An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic recounts a classics professor's experience teaching his octogenarian father in an undergraduate course on Homer's epic. This essay explores the way Mendelsohn's memoir reads and rereads the father-son relationship in the Odyssey. Through the use of the epic convention of anagnorisis (recognition) as well as by challenging the poem's standard for father-son relationships, Mendelsohn explores the extent to which a son can truly know his father and succeed him.
摘要：荷马《奥德赛》在文学史上的文化地位不容低估。这本书激发了人们无休止的阅读和改编，尤其是在二十一世纪。在不断增长的奥德赛重新诠释列表中，有一部新的改编作品脱颖而出。丹尼尔·门德尔松（Daniel Mendelsohn）2017年的回忆录《奥德赛：父亲、儿子和史诗》（An Odyssey：A Father，A Son，and A Epic）讲述了一位古典学教授在荷马史诗本科课程中教他八旬老父的经历。本文探讨了门德尔松回忆录对《奥德赛》中父子关系的解读和重读。门德尔松通过使用阿那格诺里斯（认可）这一史诗般的惯例，以及挑战这首诗对父子关系的标准，探索了儿子真正了解父亲并继承父亲的程度。

ABSTRACT:Christian readers engaged for centuries with Lucretius' De Rerum Natura and often contrasted or harmonized its Epicurean ideas. By analyzing a series of loci similes, I suggest that the imitation of Lucretius in a Neo-Latin epic written in sixteenth century Italy, Girolamo Vida's Christiad, represents a polemical response to that ancient author. Learned readers experienced cognitive dissonance when they could recognize the Lucretian intertexts. However, a systematic and usually contrastive adaptation showed them how to refute the false doctrine advocated by that Epicurean poem in what amounts to an extremely crafted case of Neo-Latin intertextuality, a still understudied area.
摘要：几个世纪以来，基督教读者一直与卢克莱修的《自然》（De Rerum Natura）进行着接触，并经常对其伊壁鸠鲁思想进行对比或协调。通过分析一系列相似的地方，我认为16世纪意大利新拉丁史诗《吉拉莫·维达的基督》中对卢克莱修的模仿代表了对这位古代作家的一种争论性回应。当有学识的读者能够认出卢克莱特的互文时，他们会经历认知失调。然而，一个系统的、通常是对比的改编向他们展示了如何反驳伊壁鸠鲁诗歌所倡导的错误学说，这相当于一个精心设计的新拉丁互文性案例，这是一个研究不足的领域。

ABSTRACT:Starting from the idea that in Persians Aeschylus was attempting to arouse fear and pity in the audience (rather than glee at victory over the enemy), I propose to demonstrate that one of the resources he deployed to this end was the use of vocabulary and formulas typical of the genre of funerary epigraphy. This enabled him to present Persian grief in terms very familiar to the Athenian–and more generally, the Pan-Hellenic–audience. The influence of funerary epigraphy has not yet been analyzed in relation to Persians, but such an approach may shed new light on our understanding of this play.

ABSTRACT:This article suggests a novel approach for the interpretation of Seneca's Apocolocyntosis. I argue that the text represents Seneca's attempt to lay claim to the Metamorphoses, a canonical poem influential on his own corpus, by engaging in a virtual rewrite of that text. I call this phenomenon fan fiction, since the character of Diespiter, in suggesting that Claudius' deification be added to the Metamorphoses, meets Hellekson and Busse's criteria for fan fiction; that is, user-generated content inspired by canonical material. Seneca thus not only interacts creatively with Ovid's epic but also carves out a place in the literary tradition for himself and his parodic portrayal of Claudius. References to Seneca's Thyestes help flesh out the author's unique engagement with the Latin literary canon.

ABSTRACT:This article explores the issue of pedagogical training for graduate students in the field of classics using the program at Florida State University as a model. After establishing the current state of available training in Ph.D. granting institutions across the United States and identifying the importance of such training, a framework for a graduate level pedagogy course is built using the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). This framework can be used by any program looking to offer specialized pedagogy training to their graduate students.

ABSTRACT:This article presents a new reading of Plutarch's account of the death of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus. Scholarly consensus holds that the "brother" asking the senate for permission to bury the murdered tribune is Caius, thereby linking the two Gracchi by means of the elder's demise. Yet, Plutarch himself suggests that Caius was at Numantia when Tiberius died. I argue that contrary to dominant views, there is a possibility of a third Gracchus living into adulthood, and this third brother's existence illuminates Plutarch's careful method in composing the Lives of the Gracchi.
