Title: He alone in Homer and Vergil’s Aeneid Authors: Vella, Horatio Caesar Roger Abstract: The Iliad is about a dispute between two men, Agamemnon and Achilles, on an injustice Achilles received from the other when the former took his war-price, a slave-girl. The consequences to this private dispute at the end of a ten-year massive war in Troy, caused by yet another private dispute when Paris ran away from Sparta with Menelaus’ wife, Helen, were enormous. Not only fighting covers the 24 books of the Iliad, but also other and deep illustrations of the suffering man undergoes when an injustice is made to him, as when one loses his son or friend in battle, Hector or Patroclus.

Title: The relationship of blood, intelligence, and delirium : perspectives in the Hippocratic treatises Authors: Harpas, Mary Elizabeth Abstract: In this paper, I will examine how the authors of the Hippocratic Corpus (c.5th – 3rd C. BCE) understood the relationship between the blood and mental faculties of a living person. My aim is to clarify the nature of the relationship between blood and thought in the Corpus, a collection of Greek medical treatises composed by different authors, each with their own ideas about human physiology and pathology. The first part of this paper establishes contextual background for the mind-body debate in ancient Greek thought, and outlines some of the ideas that were prevalent around the time when many of the Hippocratic treatises were composed.

Title: Remember me thus : a study of Latin epitaphs of mime actresses Authors: Dharmasiri, Muditha Abstract: Theatre in ancient Rome was diverse and many of the genres took their origin from Greece, so much so that many scholars have opted to consider Roman theatre as a sub-category of Greek theatre. There were, nonetheless, uniquely Roman genres as well, such as the Atellan farce. Theatre also fulfilled specific roles in Roman society, including in both the public and the private spheres. In the public sphere, theatre was at first a part of ludi romani (‘Roman games’) and later evolved into ludi scaenici (‘stage games’) as the theatrical performances associated within the main festival. Rome had its first permanent theatre built in 55 B.C.E.; thus, until then, many performances took place in various temporary stages and locations and were not restricted to a specific place. Therefore, performances such as mimes, acrobats, storytellers, jugglers and poetry performers can be considered as ‘paratheatrical performances’ due to the venue of these acts. [excerpt]
