Abstract

In modern times the Theriaca of Nicander of Colophon (2nd century BCE) has not attracted many enthusiasts. Its complicated style, abstruse diction and technical subject matter – venomous bites and their remedies – have long put off classical scholars. In the wake of renewed interest in Hellenistic poetry, however, Nicander’s dark poetry deserves new appreciation. In this book Floris Overduin provides a literary commentary on the Theriaca , focusing on Nicander’s artistic merits. Viewed against the background of Alexandrian aesthetics and the didactic epic tradition, Nicander deserves pride of place among his Hellenistic peers. This book, the first full commentary in English, may thus contribute to the reappraisal of Nicander’s Theriaca as a work of literature, not science.

Abstract

In zijn elfde redevoering gaat Dio van Prusa, de grootste Griekse redenaar van zijn tijd (eerste eeuw n.Chr.), regelrecht in tegen alles wat Homerus ons over de Trojaanse oorlog vertelt. Als een aanklager gaat hij de grote dichter verbaal te lijf: de Trojaanse oorlog zoals we die kennen berust op Homerische leugens. De redenaar zal het publiek, met Homerus in de hand, wel eens duidelijk maken hoe het nu echt zit. Want waarom beschrijft Homerus de val van Troje niet? En waarom laat hij de schaking van Helena achterwege in zijn vertelling? De waarheid moet nu aan het licht komen: niet de Grieken, maar de Trojanen hebben de oorlog gewonnen!00Dio?s vermakelijke, vlammende betoog past daarom niet alleen in eeuwen Homeruskritiek, het is ook een aanklacht tegen fake news: een actueel thema, terugverplaatst in de wereld van de antieke literatuurkritiek.00De redevoering is nu voor het eerst in het Nederlands vertaald, voorzien van een uitgebreide inleiding en een rijke toelichting.

Abstract

The present volume offers a systematic discussion of the complex relationship between medicine and paradoxography in the ancient world.For a long time, the relationship between the two has been assumed to be virtually non-existent. Paradoxography is concerned with disclosing a world full of marvels and wondrous occurrences without providing an answer as to how these phenomena can be explained. Its main aim is to astonish and leave its readers bewildered and confused. By contrast, medicine is committed to the rational explanation of human phusis, which makes it, in a number of significant ways, incompatible with thauma. This volume moves beyond the binary opposition between ‘rational’ and ‘non-rational’ modes of thinking, by focusing on instances in which the paradox is construed with direct reference to established medical sources and beliefs or, inversely, on cases in which medical discourse allows space for wonder and admiration. Its aim is to show that thauma, rather than present a barrier, functions as a concept which effectively allows for the dialogue between medicine and paradoxography in the ancient world.
