ABSTRACT:This article explores the sensory experience of being in Athens during the plague (430–426 bce). By approaching the ancient epidemic from a perspective of sensory archaeology, we discover that the intensity of suffering caused by the two-pronged calamity of overcrowding inside the city walls plus the plague was likely exacerbated by unexpected sensory stimuli in once-familiar places (Foucault's "heterotopia"), thereby causing a profound sense of disorientation for the inhabitants. The calamity transposed Athenian pleasure gardens, monument-lined streets, and sanctuaries from places of delight into a heterotopia of decay and death.

ABSTRACT:Warfare in the classical period has often been regarded as a quintessentially communitarian and cooperative activity, the enterprise of citizen-militiamen whose activity was motivated by and contributed to civic solidarity. In this paper, I gather fifth- and fourth-century sources that attest individual rivalries, agonism, and status-seeking within armed forces of the classical poleis. I argue that this evidence is enough to demonstrate a certain continuity of the martial agonism and competitive display familiar from Homer into the classical period. More broadly, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing historical debate over the degree to which egoistic and competitive values or communitarian and cooperative values governed the behavior of citizens in the classical city.

ABSTRACT:Scholars generally agree that Phaedra's delirious desires to partake in activities associated with Hippolytus serve as an expression of her suppressed desire to "be with" her stepson. This study does not dispute this interpretation but rather it seeks to deepen our appreciation of the Phaedra Euripides has created by arguing that, in her delirium, she gives voice to a more involved three-fold desire, one that reveals the complexity of the situation in which a wife may find herself when seeking to fulfil the demands of both Aphrodite and Artemis in the absence of her husband.

ABSTRACT:As a bearer of meaning, the epithet that closes the Iliad has been largely overlooked. However, if we read ίππόδαμος ("breaker of horses") as a significant expression, encompassing an action and an object, we can gain appreciation of its closural (and anti-closural) force while confronting the ideological assumptions concerning humans and animals that it rests on. While such assumptions, like the epithet itself, tend to go unremarked, they come into view if we direct our attention beyond Hector, the breaker, to that which is broken or dominated: not simply nature as such but in each case an individual animal, a horse.

ABSTRACT:This article explores postcolonial theory as a teaching tool for use in the ancient history classroom. Postcolonial theory is invaluable in the diverse classrooms in which we teach today, offering our students—and ourselves—powerful new ways for seeing and considering issues of marginality, representation, and the nuances of interactions between cultures. I use as case study my own field of research expertise, namely the medieval Islamicate engagement with ancient Greco-Roman science. I also offer examples of secondary literature on postcolonial theory that work well in the classroom, plus excerpts of relevant primary source literature from my own research field.

ABSTRACT:In this paper, we compare the downfall of Herodotus' Croesus and Sophocles' Oedipus against four central themes: ignorance and learning too late; misplaced hope; mutability of fortune; and fate and responsibility. Our analysis reveals striking affinities between the two author's works, not only in their conception of human fortune and the working of divine and human causation, but also in how Herodotus and Sophocles engage their audiences by employing similar narrative techniques, notably through the use of different focalizations. Moreover, it shows that many of the features highlighted in Aristotle's Poetics for the finest tragedy not only apply to Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus but also to Herodotus' Croesus logos.

ABSTRACT:This article re-examines why Cicero betrothed his daughter Tullia to Furius Crassipes in April of 56 bce. Previous scholarship emphasized social and personal factors in Cicero's decision, but I highlight his political considerations. After returning from exile, Cicero endeavored to handle political affairs with caution and to have good relations with the optimates, Pompey, and Caesar (or at least to offend none of them blatantly). Thus he chose Crassipes, a young man who (insofar as the extant evidence suggests) was born into a family neither politically prominent nor active, to help himself maintain neutrality.

Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in the hand of life science researchers, who constantly develop and apply new methods for the investigation of biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, metabolites, lipids, and glycans. In this review, we will discuss the importance of mass spectrometry for the life science sector, with a special focus on the most relevant current applications in the field of proteomics. Moreover, we will comment on the factors that research groups should consider when setting up a mass spectrometry laboratory, and on the fundamental role played by academic core facilities and industrial service providers.
