Abstract

This volume assembles fourteen highly influential articles written by Michael H. Jameson over a period of nearly fifty years, edited and updated by the author himself. They represent both the scope and the signature style of Jameson's engagement with the subject of ancient Greek religion. The collection complements the original publications in two ways: firstly, it makes the articles more accessible; and secondly, the volume offers readers a unique opportunity to observe that over almost five decades of scholarship Jameson developed a distinctive method, a signature style, a particular perspective, a way of looking that could perhaps be fittingly called a 'Jamesonian approach' to the study of Greek religion. This approach, recognizable in each article individually, becomes unmistakable through the concentration of papers collected here. The particulars of the Jamesonian approach are insightfully discussed in the five introductory essays written for this volume by leading world authorities on polis religion.

Abstract

Works by authors such as Philitas of Cos, Alexander of Aetolia, Hermesianax of Colophon, Euphorion of Chalcis and, especially Parthenius of Nicaea, who composed the mythograpical Sufferings in Love, represent rich inventiveness in Hellenistic prose and poetry from the fourth to the first century BCE.

Abstract

The political instability of the Severan Period (AD 193-235) destroyed the High Imperial consensus about the Roman past and caused both rulers and subjects constantly to re-imagine and re-narrate both recent events and the larger shape of Greco-Roman history and cultural identity. This book examines the narratives put out by the new dynasty, and how the literary elite responded with divergent visions of their own. It focuses on four long Greek narrative texts from the period (by Cassius Dio, Philostratus and Herodian), each of which constructs its own version of the empire, each defined by different Greek and Roman elements and each differently affected by dynastic change, especially that from Antonine to Severan. Innovative theories of narrative are used to produce new readings of these works that bring political, literary and cultural perspectives together in a unified presentation of the Severan era as a distinctive historical moment

Abstract

Dem Athener Isokrates (ca. 436-338 v.Chr.) schreibt man seit jeher eine maßgebliche Rolle bei der ideengeschichtlichen Trennung von Rhetorik und Philosophie zu. Besonders die historischen Exempla in seinen Reden galten dabei lange Zeit als Beleg dafür, dass der ,Erbe der Sophistik' als Hauptgegner Platons den Anspruch sachlicher Moralität und Wahrhaftigkeit dem Zweck der Demonstration rhetorischer Brillanz untergeordnet habe. Thomas Blank untersucht in seiner Dissertation die Verwendung des bei Isokrates besonders prominenten Exemplums Sparta in dessen gesamtem Werk. Dabei werden erstmals Isokrates' eigene Bemerkungen zur technischen Gültigkeit bestimmter Argumentationsweisen für die Interpretation berücksichtigt. Es lässt sich zeigen, dass die scheinbaren Widersprüche im isokratischen Spartabild Folge einer Vorführung konkurrierender Argumentationstypen sind. Isokrates' technische Kommentare dienen als Hinweise darauf, dass nur manche der von ihm präsentierten Argumente plausibel sein sollen. Gegen die These von der tyrannischen Macht des logos setzt er, Platon keineswegs fernstehend, die Forderung nach Moralität der Rede und fordert die Athener am Beispiel Spartas dazu auf, rhetorisch bekundete moralische Ansprüche auch in praktisches Handeln umzusetzen.
