The article "The Origin of Sin. Greece and Rome, Early Judaism and Christianity" by David Konstan analyzes the facets of sin in the Western tradition, highlighting the importance of the concept in the Bible and its evolution in Greek and Hebrew literature. The notion of sin in the Greco-Roman, Hebrew, and Christian world is addressed, emphasizing the differences between the conceptions of Jesus and Saint Paul. The author examines the concepts of sin as hamartia, ḥaṭa’ and peccatum, showing how the popular conception of sin has been forged in contemporary society. [Extracted from the article]

In the Bibliotheca of Photius of Constantinople (ca. 810/820-after 893) there are two passages concerning the contents of the events of Alexander the Great in the Brief History of Cephalion (68, 34a10-11; 161, 104b13-14), that contradict each other: in the first one it seems the author is referring to the ninth book, while in the second one, to the eighth book. Critics and translators have generally preferred the ascription to the former. This paper advocates for a textual change of the syntagma ἐν ᾗ (Bibl., 68, 34a10) so that the information coincide in both passages. This new interpretation enlightens a lost document of Greek literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eusebius of Caesarea is the creator of a new genre in Christian literature, Ecclesiastical History, which will be much imitated in Antiquity, in Byzantium and in the western Middle Ages. This type of historiography, which follows and adapts the Greek literary models, will be the most adequate to bear witness to the Christian theological conception and to the new historical circumstances after Constantine. The universality of the Roman Empire is identified with the Church, the true Kingdom of God, and therefore Ecclesiastical History will be a universal history, in time and space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a globalised world, the understanding of literature under a transnational approach brings to light aspects that profoundly challenge some traditional literary assumptions in terms of literary genres, writing roles and even personal belonging. Greece, as country of migrants, provides us with the case of contemporary multilingual literature that draws attention to some of these aspects, from the point of view of diaspora and migrant studies, as well as multilingualism and multiculturalism. This paper shall focus on the case of seven Modem Greek authors, to illustrate the importance of the experience of Greek diaspora in connection with literary creation and identity dilemmas. By doing so, it is our intention to underline the need for a rethinking of the practice of self-translation, and the relationship between xenitia, identity and belonging in the study of what we call Modem Greek migrant literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting with an outline of the ancient Greek literature on the notion of therapy and on who oversees such activity, the text highlights that originally the term "therapy" refers to a much more general care or service that culminated in body care under a medical connotation, with the special case of Hippocrates. Subsequently, in Plato the word "therapist" focuses on care for the mind and soul, whose characteristics and procedures are stipulated by the Greek philosopher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The importance of the 'affective turn' in classical studies is well acknowledged, as it can be perceived through the many interdisciplinary works that have been published in the area during these last decades. Taking into account the challenges and difficulties involving the historical analysis of feelings, this paper intends to account for the contributions that have been made in the last years on the study of emotions in Antiquity. By specially focusing on classical Greece, we seek to offer a wide theoretical framework that could be useful for those willing to embark in this promising field of academic research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the importance of funeral rituals, of their compliance and non-compliance in some examples from Greek literature based on the funerals of the characters Patroclus, Hector, Elpenor and Polynices, the first two are mentioned in the Homeric text The Iliad, the third one in The Odyssey and the last one in Sophocles' Antigone. First, the category of rites of passage will be defined to then continue with a classification of funeral practices divided into rites of separation, rites of liminality and rites of aggregation, acts within which pre-depositional, depositional, and funeral practices of the Greek people are framed, in this case, from the Mycenaean Period to the Classical Period. Then, the raptor deities and psychopomps that intervene in the passage of souls to the underworld are mentioned, and later, the aforementioned literary examples are detailed in order to apply these concepts. Finally, by means of a comparison of these funeral ceremonies and their context, the aspects that define the importance of these practices in the religious and social field are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The origin of lyrical compositions in Classical Greek Literature is often explained by using as initial testimony passages from the Iliad, which refer to a paian (I.472), to a hymenaios (XVI.182) or to danced songs (XVIII.560-570 and 590-605). The aim of the present article is to analyse three passages in which it is possible to explore, within the Odyssey, the play of a performance of choral lyric discourses flowing under the coercion of the epic format. We address Penelope's lament in book 4.722-734, the presence of a parthéneion setting in book 6.99-109 and the version of thrênos singed by the Muses at the funeral for Achilles in book 24.58-62.

This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of literary transfer during the period of European Romanticism, by the mean of poetic translation. More specifically we have tried to study systematically the manuscript of the History of Modern Greek Literature of Joseph Dunin - Borkowski (1809-1843), by an analysis of the historical and human context as well as a parallel comparison of poetic translations following the text of the Polish poet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ioanna Tsatsos was an interesting figure of 20th century Greek literature. A deep faith in orthodoxy can be clearly seen in her work, which seeps into many of her books, both in verse and prose. The objective of this article is to analyze the way in which the author seeks her roots in orthodoxy and how she bases her religious and national identity on this orthodoxy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author makes a literary commentary on Ismail Kadare's works which have an special link to the Greek literature, trying to review his main contributions to the interpretation of the same one. The commentary focuses above all on two essays (Achilles' Wrath and Aeschylus), two poems (Laocoon and Exorcism), one play (Bad Season On Olympus), three stories (Before the Bath, Prometheus and The Dream Bearer) and six novels (The Monster, Agamemnon's Daughter, The Successor, The File on H., The Palace of Dreams and Life, Games and Death of Lul Mazreku).

The ancient utopian tradition is very vast. It begins with Homer and the island of the Phaeacians and Hesiod and the golden age. Follow with archaic poets, like Pindar. It even passes by comic poets. But with Socrates it becomes a central problem of philosophy: finding a way to build a just and happy society. Fundamental in ancient utopism is Plato's Republic. To Platonic utopism, Kazantzakis' Odyssey pays tribute: it contemplates the abolition of the family and private property; set free love. It conceives the legislator as an educator of the people. With Plato, with the work of Moro, with those of Yevgeni Zamiatin, Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury George Orwell, Kazantzakis in the Odyssey he contracted undeniable debts; also with its time and place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the classical languages and literatures of Greece and Rome enjoy great prestige, they are increasingly neglected in mainstream curricula. This work aims to analyse the principal reasons behind this situation. To do so, it turns to the thoughts of different specialists who have considered the issue in depth. Their opinions cover a wide array of perspectives, but they all agree on one key point: the scant attention usually paid to texts in the teaching of Greco-Latin literature. Scholars have tended to focus on context, therefore obscuring the texts: they pay more attention to morphological, syntactic, historical, literary, and metric aspects than to the texts themselves. Means have thus become ends, with tangible and unfortunate consequences. As a solution to this, we propose returning the texts to the centre of the classroom, through reading -- in full if possible -- and discussion of the original works. This way, Greek and Latin language studies will achieve a greater relevance, precisely because they would allow a deeper and more direct knowledge of the classics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following work deals with fratricide as a topic in Western culture and its role in literature from the different approaches in modern times. The paper focuses on the delimitation of the topic within Greek literature through the evolution of Oedipus' offspring', from Archaic Greek epic to tragedy. Thus, it starts contrasting the mythical elements that both, epic and tragedy, display as a support of each story. My hypothesis is fratricide of Eteocles and Polynices becomes a punishment to Oedipus through his exile, and that its consummation is in Euripides' Phoenissae, which I conclude through a comparative study of the sources.

In this paper, we analyze the presence of sex and sexuality in the rhetorical and literary criticism treatises of Greek literature in the Imperial Age: several rhetorical treatises by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, On the Sublime by Pseudo-Longinus and On Style by Pseudo-Demetrius. The sexual theme appears poorly in the different literary examples that these authors provide throughout their works. This is a taboo theme because it is not worthy of imitation or appropriate for a high or sublime style. The three authors approach it in different ways (Pseudo-Demetrio is the one that less practices self-censorship). Mentions of this subject (and their absences) are significant, as well as the use of euphemisms, metaphors and words with double meaning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims -- taking as a starting point the lexical family derived from ἄγγελοϛ -- to show what concept of news (bad or good) had the members of the societies represented in Homer, tragedy, aristophanic comedy, the texts of historians and oratory. The analysis of the lexicon reflects that, although the vast majority of the news items are negative, there is no derivative of ἄγγελοϛ to designate the bad news. However, there is one for the good news: γγέλιου. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay reflects on jewels as means of seduction for Greek women and, specifically, on those of Aphrodite, a multifaceted deity whose main action is framed within the sphere of sexuality and love. This goddess is the owner of a magical ornament, the kestos himas. On its surface are embroidered some human emotions like desire, seduction and love. This jewel has a leading role in some very interesting episodes of Greek literature, especially the one known as Dios Apate or Hera’s deception of Zeus in order to seduce him. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This writing carries out a review of the poetic aspects of the work of the Valencian writer Jaime Siles from his collection of poems Galería de rara antigüedad, which deserved the XXVIII Jaime Gil de Biedma Poetry Prize in 2018. Over the course of this work the discussed issue will also consider the the inner monologues practice in its relation to Sile's authorial conception of intimate poetry, in particular, and its entanglements in Ancient Greek literature or European modernism tradition, in general, of which Jaime Gil de Biedma was an essential epigone in the Spanish literary scene in the 20th Century.

This paper is product of an investigation carried out by the analysis of literary texts, which aimed to discover the factors that intervene in the strength of fraternal ties either in its destructive sense or in its capability to become the main source of security in the self-realization of brothers and sisters. In this case, the study of the conformation of Antigone's phratry in the Greek literature demonstrated the influence of past circumstances in fraternal bonds, but it also made evident the virtues necessary to overcome the designs of destiny in a heroic way.
