Topic: Scholiasts


  
  Bacchylides - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The scholiasts are right, it would appear that Pindar regarded the younger of the two Cean poets as a jealous rival, who disparaged him to their common patron, and as one whose poetical skill was due to study rather than to genius.
It is tolerably certain that the three poets were visitors at hero’s court at about the same time: Pindar and Bacchylides wrote odes of the same kind in his honour; and there was a tradition that he preferred the younger poet.
Quotations from Bacchylides, or references to him, occur in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Strabo, Plutarch, Stobaeus, Athenaeus, Aulus Gellius, Zenobius, Hephaestion, Clement of Alexandria, and various grammarians or scholiasts.

 DIDASKALIA: Ancient Theater Today   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In the voluminous writings of Homeric scholiasts there is no shortage of comments emphasising how perfectly theatrical entire scenes and episodes are -even those which would not have immediately sprung to our mind in connection with performability.
In a most eloquent passage, Choricius reminds his audience of their experience as spectators of pantomime-dancing, where the dancer, as well as “enchanting” them with his art, tries to persuade them that “he does not merely imitate but is by nature (pefuke) the very thing he imitates (touto ho de mimeitai)”.
As you can easily imagine, Homeric scholiasts, expert literary critics that they are, do not lag behind, but are keen to detect such deeply dramatic qualities in Homer himself: Homer, they say, “projects vividly everything that he imagines, so that his listeners are in no way at a disadvantage in relation to theatrical spectators”.

The Scholiast on Birds 521 makes him survive that Play many years, and, al- though the Scholiast is of no authority in a matter of this sort, yet I doubt if it is right to look upon the lines before us as a conclusive proof that Cratinus was now dead.
The Scholiast doubts whether the sons of Carcinus owe their sobriquet of tame quails to their appearance or to their tempers; but we may suppose that they were termed quails from their diminutive stature and,OKOyeveLS because homebred birds were less valuable, as less suited for oprTyoKo7ria than wild ones.

 [Classics-L 2003: December] Fwd: news about two Homer projects
Northwestern University has recently received a Mellon grant for a project called WordHoard, which aims at creating interfaces for non-technical users to explore the query potential of digitally encoded literary texts that are deeply tagged at a lexical, semantic, and morphological level.
Hence the idea of translating some of the scholia, which is the goal of New Scholiasts.
It emerged from my conversations with Ross that the infrastructure for the Suda project could be adapted to support a scholia translating project, and in the fall Michael Jones, a very talented recent graduate in Classics and Computer Science from the University of Kentucky (and now at Cambridge studying theology) did the adapting.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.09.36
This leads to a discussion of the scholiasts' disapproval of actors' interpolations and alterations to the text, which Falkner equates with Aristotle's complaint that in his day actors are more important than poets.
The scholiasts express a consistent preference for "natural" stage action, inferred solely from textual cues, and for the actor's disappearance behind the character he played.
Ironically, this conclusion leaves us with a different impression of the scholiasts than Falkner strove to give the reader through much of the essay; they wind up sounding like out-of-touch, fussy, conservative academic critics, rather than intellectuals engaged dynamically with their community -- contemporary "ivory tower" professors, rather than public intellectuals.

This gives a coarse but firm “typology,” which may be of some use in the study of other MS traditions, and clarifies hard passages many of which are discussed in depth, so that the book's Index Locorum can be a tool for students of this author.
Separate chapters examine evidence given by MS disagreement, by a long inscription, by papyri, by scholiasts, by Valla's translation and more.
A chapter analyzes the types of mechanical “interpolation” another, the hypothesis of Hellenistic “editing.” Constant close attention is paid to the stemma codicum (discussed also in an appendix) and to the smallest idiosyncrasies of Thucydides' style.

 Journal of Classical Studies XLIX(2001)
Greater significance is to be attached to the fact that some of those scholiasts and lexicographers who refer to the pharmakos ritual assert that stoning was performed in it.
Of the two sources for the pharmakos ritual at Abdera the scholiast on Ovid's Ibis 467 states that in that city the scapegoat was killed with stones every year, whereas the other, the commentator on a CallimachusÕ line (fr.90 Pfeiffer), asserts that he was stoned until he was driven over the borders.
Such may be the case also with Abdera and the scholiast on Ibis may have made a mistake similar to that of 'Lactantius'.

10.32, Cicero Pro Sestio 123 (and scholiast), Varro De lingua Latina 6.18, Horace Epistles 2.1.193 (and scholiasts), the anonymous Life of Persius, and Tacitus Dialogus 2-3.
In the Varro passage, for instance, the patriotic sex-romp of the Nonae Caprotinae play can hardly be imagined as a tragedy; and it is surely significant that Horace's scholiasts interpreted the spectacle of the play on the fall of Corinth as a sort of pompa triumphalis.
But given her procedure, M.'s analysis is sensible and judicious: on the Varro passage, for instance (66), she rightly dismisses attempts like that of the Loeb editor to avoid the problem by emendation.

 VERGIL: The Secret Life
Apparently the scholiasts had no idea that a 'viator' was a bailiff or sheriff of sorts assisting magistrates in their duties, and glossed it as 'negotiatoris' or in another MS 'mercatoris", what the British call a "commercial traveller".
His extreme shyness in public was already notable, but the term "Parthenias", which the scholiast amplifies with the comment "id est virginalis", would seem to refer not only to modesty of character, but to physical mannerism and manner.
The scholiast obediently follows this line of thought with his dry comment: "id est virginalis".

 Was Hellanikos the First Chronicler of Athens?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The scholiast, citing Hellanikos as his authority, glosses the line as a reference to a decree passed in the archonship of Antigenes, which proclaimed freedom and enrolment on the citizen register for all slaves who had fought on the Athenian side against Sparta.
Croix, The Origins of the Peloponnesian War (London 1972) 315; (2) 1.97.2 is integral to Thucydides' text and the Pentekontaetia was composed in response to the Atthis of Hellanikos: cf.
As far as we can tell, Hellanikos is cited for his allusion to the enrolment of the freed slaves on the citizen register, and the participial phrase introduced by diexion may be a scholastic gloss.

Anyway, we were lucky, because our scholiasts were usually (but not always) right.
Justin, I have observed the work of the scholiasts many times :)- but I could never trust somebody else’s translation, so I had the double work of looking things up the hard way and then comparing it to what the other guys wrote.
I am a pencil annotator; I believe in “talking back to books” (and marking particularly interesting passages with a marginal line), and I have no problem buying used books that have been similarly annotated, since the eraser is always handy.

Ancient scholiasts linked Esus to both *Mercury and *Mars, the latter implying that he might be a patron of war.
The Berne scholiasts compare him with the great Roman god; it remains only questionable whether he is Mercury or Mars or perhaps neither of them.
The Esus-complex has also been compared with Hercules, and it has been pointed out in that regard that figures of bas-reliefs with the name Smert… are themselves found; one could consequently think of a Gaulish Herakles or Donar, thus of a god of physical strength.

Imperial astrological writers do mention tribades with some frequency, but always in the summary lists of outcomes that such-and-such a horoscope is supposed to portend.
The remaining sources are for the most part equally succinct: passing statements in Artemidorus' Dream-Book, in a late and anonymous physiognomy manual, and by a few scholiasts of the late antique or Byzantine era.
And on that latter text, the scholiast explains 'Philainis' as a woman whom an Athenian comic poet Philocrates ridiculed "as a hetairistria and tribade" (p.

More's "Utopia" won a place by itself, which it still keeps, far above the imitative and passing literature of those Latin versifiers, those vain rhetoricians, who at best were scholiasts, but too commonly wasted their small talents in feebly reproducing the classic themes and metres.
