Elodie Paillard deposited Les ludi Graeci chez Cicéron in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 2 years agoThis article re-analyses in detail the meaning of the expression ludi Graeci which appears in two of Cicero’s letters (Ad Fam. 7,1 and Ad Att. 15,5). A careful examination of the first instance reveals that ludi Graeci indeed referred to theatrical performances in Greek language and not merely to Latin plays that followed Greek models. A brief s…[Read more]

Elodie Paillard deposited Violence et jeux scéniques grecs à l’occasion de victoires romaines durant la République : l’exemple des jeux organisés par Lucius Anicius Gallus in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 2 years agoA priori, la mise en scène de représentations théâtrales semble bien éloignée d’autres types de spectacles plus violents organisés dans le monde romain, souvent à l’occasion de triomphes militaires. Toutefois, il convient de s’interroger sur l’éventuelle « violence culturelle » qui pourrait se cacher derrière l’organisation de jeux théâtraux gre…[Read more]

Olivier Dufault deposited Early Greek Alchemy, Patronage and Innovation in Late Antiquity in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 3 years, 3 months agoNew evidence on scholarly patronage under the Roman empire can be garnered by analyzing the descriptions of learned magoi in several texts from the second to the fourth century CE. Since a common use of the term magos connoted flatterer-like figures (kolakes), it is likely that the figures of “learned sorcerers” found in texts such as Luc…[Read more]

Elodie Paillard deposited Looking for Sociolects in Classical Greek Tragedy: A Digital Tool for Measuring Linguistic/Discursive Complexity in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoThis paper re-examines the question of the presence of distinct sociolects in Classical Athenian tragedy (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides). While the general idea is that all characters in tragedy spoke a similar language, without much distinction between sociolects that could have marked their socio-political status, some recent research has…[Read more]

Elodie Paillard deposited Theatre and Metatheatre: Definitions, Problems, Limits in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 4 years, 1 month agoThe aim of this book is to explore the definition(s) of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ that scholars use when studying the ancient Greek world. Although in modern languages their meaning is mostly straightforward, both concepts become problematical when applied to ancient reality. In fact, ‘theatre’ as well as ‘metatheatre’ are used in many differe…[Read more]

Elodie Paillard deposited The Structural Evolution of Fifth-Century Athenian Society: Archaeological Evidence and Literary Sources in the group
Greek and Roman Intellectual History on Humanities Commons 4 years, 3 months agoThe structure of fifth-century Athenian society remains largely unknown, as is the distribution of its citizens into different socio-political categories. Ancient literary sources mostly describe a society divided into élite and poor. However, the model of a society alternately dominated by
the élite and the ‘lower-class’ is to be recon…[Read more] -
