ABSTRACT:This article examines literary, epigraphic, archaeological and artistic sources for the feeding of Roman dogs, with a particular focus on the practical advice found within the De re rustica of Varro and Columella and the various Cynegetica. As an interdisciplinary approach, modern studies related to canine nutrition and cognitive theory will alongside the ancient sources elucidate how a more regular, planned diet was an important aspect of nurturing a well-bred, properly trained and cared for farm or hunting dog, particularly among upper class Romans. This in turn served to enhance the owner's reputation as an excellent farmer or hunter.
摘要:本文从文学、碑文、考古和艺术等方面考察了罗马狗喂养的相关资料，并重点介绍了瓦罗和科卢梅拉的De re rustica和各种Cynegetica中发现的实用建议。作为一种跨学科的方法，与犬类营养和认知理论相关的现代研究将与古代资料一起阐明，更有规律、有计划的饮食是如何培养一只教养良好、训练有素、照顾好的农场或猎犬的重要方面，尤其是在罗马上层阶级中。这反过来又有助于提高主人作为优秀农民或猎人的声誉。

ABSTRACT:Throughout Herodotus’ Histories, tyrants and despotic kings are frequently associated with sterility and failed reproduction. Monarchs are repeatedly shown both engaging in intercourse that cannot produce children, and causing the deaths of what children they do manage to produce. In addition, tyrants are surrounded by symbolic images of sterility–unrisen loaves, rotten teeth, wounded groins, and wasted crops. In associating tyranny and sterility, I argue, Herodotus is drawing on long-standing tropes in Archaic Greek thought. The images of infertility serve to underscore that tyranny is unjust, a misfortune for both subjects and tyrant, and ultimately futile and self-defeating.

ABSTRACT:This article argues that dramatic disjuncture in Act 2 of Seneca’s Troas can be understood to serve a philosophical purpose: the removal of Achilles’ shade–the external, supernatural causation for Polyxena’s sacrifice–opens up the space for Agamemnon and Pyrrhus to engage in an ethical debate. A comparison with Euripides’ Hecuba, an important source for Troas Act 2, lays bare how Seneca uses discontinuity, both dramatic and intertextual, to imbue debate–dialectic–with the power not just to interrogate the mytho-graphic tradition but to cultivate critical thinking: the contemplation of actions in the absence of their explicit justification.

ABSTRACT:This article deals with col. V, 7–VI, 2 of Oenoanda’s continuous Theological Physics-Sequence, in which Diogenes calls the Jews and the Egyptians the δεισιδαιμονέστατοι and μιαρώτατοι of all people. Previous scholarship has already offered some interesting suggestions to explain why our otherwise cosmopolitan author would have used such harsh words. The aim of this article is to re-evaluate the plausibility of these suggestions against the backdrop of Diogenes’ specific argumentative strategies in this part of the inscription. Ultimately, an attempt will be made to establish the nature of Diogenes’ Epicurean view on Jews and Egyptians.

ABSTRACT:The Prometheus Bound features a conflict between Zeus and Prometheus. Both of these gods represent differing perspectives on and relationships to time. The present-oriented perspective identified with Zeus seeks to freeze current conditions; the future-oriented one identified with Prometheus seeks to overturn present conditions and bring about a different and enduring future. Human beings contrast with both of these perspectives. Blind to their deaths, they live with an open-ended future. This human way of relating to time is possible because of Prometheus’ paradoxical gift of “blind hopes”—a gift which not yet been properly understood.
