    Open Access Journal: Brown Classical Journal

    [First posted in AWOL 5 September 2013, updated  (new URL) 7 September 2025]

    Brown Classical Journal

    The Brown Classical Journal was founded in 1984 by Professor Alison Goddard Elliott, who nurtured the editors and contributors of that first volume as Faculty Editor. Sadly, the volume was dedicated to her memory. Susan Hueck Allen, then a graduate student, designed the logo for the journal, which was used for the first eleven volumes. The BCJ is published annually and typically is printed in the spring.

    The purpose of the BCJ is "to encourage and to reward well written essays by students of the Classics at Brown University." 

    We welcome submissions of essays, original poetry, translations from the Greek and Latin, art work, or original photographs on a classical theme, from any undergraduate with an interest in the classics. Although we anticipate that the bulk of accepted submissions will focus on Greco-Roman antiquity and on the traditions of classical antiquity in subsequent eras, we also welcome submissions that treat the cultures of any ancient society, East or West.

    Manly Women and Womanly Men: An Analysis of Gender Stereotypes and Inversions in Terence’s Hecyra

    In Roman New Comedy, each role is a caricature informed by societal expectations: the passive matrona, the grouchy uir, the abused but patient young uxor, the egotistical adulescens, and the self-serving meretrix. Hecyra stands out among Terence’s plays because it is unclear whether he is reinforcing or deconstructing these familiar stereotypes. Most scholars focus on the role of women, who are more involved in this play than any other by Terence. They seem to drive the plot forward and have more information than the men, but at the same time, they might be said to placate their husbands and sacrifice for their children. This begs the question, “Are the women in Hecyra acting unusually?” This paper will examine the expectations of women in New Comedy in relation to scenes where women in Hecyra might be said to be contradicting their prescribed roles. This discussion will prove that the wives are not acting in unexpected...

    Defining Amantem: Dido and Popular Modern English Translations of the Aeneid

    In the Aeneid, Ancient Rome’s seminal epic poem and Vergil’s greatest work, a queen falls in love and later commits suicide. This queen’s name is Dido, and her story contains some of Vergil’s best poetry, but it has also long been a source of interpretive debate by translators. This paper seeks to illuminate how popular, modern, English translations of the Aeneid have depicted this dynamic, tragic character. These translations (i.e. Ruben, Fitzgerald, Lewis, and others) are the ones read in classrooms and disseminated to the wider public. This paper will attempt to understand them by examining how a translator’s personality and philosophy affect their decisions about the translation’s fidelity, cadence, and expressiveness. It is a comprehensive outline of Dido’s journey through the modern age and how that journey may change as more translators come to the fore who have their own distinct, diverse stories. The Aeneid lives through its...

    AGAINST FATE AND FORTUNE: The Ethics of Agency in Books 1-6 of Statius' Thebaid

    Statius' Thebaid, a Roman retelling of the infamous Oedipus myth, owes much to its literary forebears. The central tale the epic explores is borrowed from an ancient source: Greek accounts of an unlucky Oedipus and his unhappy offspring. But this first-century rendering is not a carbon copy of its antediluvian precedents, and Statius' treatments of fate, fortune, and human agency diverge distinctly from those of his most immediate narrative parallels. Indeed, it is in the Thebaid's departure from the causal framework of these assorted sources that its author's influence is most clear.

    Throughout the epic's early books, the doubled determinism of Statius' literary inheritance gives way to a possibility of ethical independence for creator and...

    Reception of Epicureanism at Rome: Cicero, Lucretius, and the Flexibility of Greek Models in the Late Republic

    Epicureanism, a Greek philosophical school founded in Athens c. 307 BCE, conceives of “pleasure” (αταρξία) as the ultimate human good. This essay aims to investigate the reception of Epicureanism at Rome in the mid-1st century BCE, drawing on Cicero’s In Pisonem and Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura as case studies. Each work addresses the question of whether Epicurus could operate within the framework of Roman cultural and political values and, consequently, whether he should be appropriated into Roman thinking. Through close examination of these two texts, I argue that each author ultimately builds his own version of “Epicurus” to serve his distinctive rhetorical aims. Cicero and Lucretius therefore come together to provide examples of a broader phenomenon surrounding the issue of Hellenization at Rome, namely, that of Greek figures being rewritten and repurposed in different contexts to serve different Roman agendas, revealing...

    Ancient Information War within Greek Colonial Narratives: An Analysis of the Theraian-Cyrenean Founding Myth through Historiography and Archaeology

    During the Greek Archaic Period, the Greek world saw rapid development in culture, economy and political organization.  These advancements led to increased prosperity and facilitated the formation of distinct political units.  However, these developments introduced new pressures on these nascent governments, which led to waves of Greek colonization across the Mediterranean world.  This introduced the new political relationship of ‘mother city’ and ‘colony’ into existing trans-Mediterranean networks, a complex structure that would play a large role in the politics of the Greek Classical Period.  This paper explores the colonial foundation narrative of Cyrene, one of the most well documented foundation myths surviving, by looking at the competing and contrasting claims put forward by Cyrene and Thera.  This paper examines the both the historical context and the geopolitical considerations at play behind the various components...

    Open Access Journal: eisodos: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur und Theorie

    [Firsts posted in AWOL 2 June 2014, updated 4 April 2025]

    eisodos: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur und Theorie
    ISSN: 2364-4397
    eisodos-Logo
    eisodos – Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur und Theorie ist eine peer-reviewed, open-access, online-Zeitschrift für B.A.- und M.A.-Studierende sowie Doktoranden zu Beginn ihrer Promotion. Es werden sowohl Studierende der Klassischen Philologie als auch Studierende der Byzantinistik, des Mittel- und Neulatein, der Allgemeinen & Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft oder einer modernen Literaturwissenschaft eingeladen, Beiträge in deutscher oder englischer Sprache einzusenden.

     Thematischer Schwerpunkt von eisodos sind Fragen der Interpretation von antiker Literatur und des Theorievergleichs. Interpretation von Literatur meint hier gleichberechtigt Studien zu Einzelwerken von Literatur, zu Einzelaspekten in diesen Werken sowie zu Literatur allgemein. Die theoretische Basis für verschiedene Herangehensweisen an Literatur sollen dabei stets auch thematisiert werden.
    eisodos – Journal for Ancient Literature and Theory is a peer-reviewed, online-journal for B.A.- and M.A.-students as well as Ph.D.-Students in the early stages of their Ph.D. Classisicsts, students of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, as well as students of Middle and New Latin, Comparative Literature or any other Literary Studies are invited to submit contributions.

     eisodos has as its focus questions on the interpretation of Ancient literature. The comparison of different literary theories is a further key aspect on which eisodos will welcome submissions. Interpretation here is intended to include both studies on individual works of literature or specific aspects in individual works of literature as well as studies on literature in general. The theoretical framework and approach that forms the basis of any of these interpretations should always be articulated.

    Gemälde. Eine Figur mit Frauenoberkörper inklusive nackter Brüste und Löwenunterkörper (Fell, Schwanz). Wilde längere schwarze Haare, hinter der Figur ein wehendes rose Tuch, die Figur sitzt auf einer Art steinernem Podest, das an der linken Seite einen durchgehenden Riss hat, aus dem ein Baum wächst. Der Himmel ist dunkel-bedrohlich, im Hintergrundeine Stadt.

    Rezeption & Subversion – Mythen aus feministischer Perspektive ist der thematische Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden eisodos-Ausgabe 2025 (1). Ungebrochen ist die Relevanz der Frage nach weiblicher Selbstermächtigung in misogynen Systemen, die im antiken Mythos ebenso vielschichtig verhandelt werden wie in den späteren Neuschreibungen und Neuinterpretationen, die im Fokus dieser Ausgabe stehen: Göttinnen, Hexen, Nymphen, (un-)treue Gattinnen und weiblich gegenderte Fabelwesen, Monster und Statuen kehren im Zuge der Blumenberg’schen „Arbeit am Mythos“ auf subversive Art wieder, bevölkern Bücherregale, Theaterbühnen und Serienbildschirme und üben – zumindest in den in dieser Ausgabe untersuchten Werken – Kritik an Ungleichheit, Gewalt, Krieg und heroischem Leichtsinn. Johanna Böttiger beschäftigt sich mit dem genderfluiden Wesen Sphinx, Milena Hofmeister mit drei Versionen der umstrittenen Helena, Franziska Fritsch mit Pygmalions erweckter Statue und Ibsens erwachter Toter, Marisa Morell mit dem Konflikt zwischen Athene und Medusa und Leonie Zinth mit der Begegnung von Kirke und Medea. Die Beiträge, die hier versammelt sind, haben ihren Anfang in einem BA-Seminar genommen, das im Wintersemester 2021/2022 von Sophie Seidler an der LMU München abgehalten wurde.
