Monuments et mémoires de la Fondation Eugène Piot
ISSN: 1148-6023
eISSN - 2260-815X
Eugène Piot (1812-1890), esthète et archéologue, qui voulait contribuer
au développement de la recherche et du goût dans le vaste domaine de
l’art depuis le temps des anciennes cultures de l’Orient jusqu’à la
Renaissance, légua sa fortune à l’Académie des Inscriptions et
Belles-Lettres. La Compagnie du quai de Conti décida alors de publier,
grâce aux revenus de la Fondation Piot, des Monuments et Mémoires consacrés aux études d’art et d’archéologie, collection très richement illustrée dont le premier volume parut en 1894.

Dickinson College Commentaries
DCC is a platform for peer-reviewed and edited commentaries on Latin and

Along with annotated editions DCC publishes Ancient Greek and Latin grammars and vocabularies, including the Core Vocabularies (translated
into various languages, including Chinese and Arabic) and running

The Hero in Ancient Greek Civilization
The Heroic and the Anti-Heroic in Classical Greek Civilization: a free lectures series
Gregory Nagy, PhD, Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek
Literature, Professor of Comparative Literature, and Director of the
Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University
Kevin McGrath, PhD, Associate in Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Harvard University
The true “hero” of this ancient Greek literature course is the logos,
or word, of logical reasoning, as activated by Socratic dialogue. The
logos of dialogue requires careful thinking, realized in close reading
and reflective writing. The last “word” read in the course comes from
Plato’s memories of the last days of Socrates. These memories depend on a
thorough understanding of concepts of the hero in all their varieties
throughout the history of Greek civilization and beyond. This course is
driven by a sequence of dialogues that lead to such an understanding,
guiding the attentive reader through some of the major works of the
ancient Greek classics, from Homer to Plato.
Watch the lectures as streaming video or audio. Each lecture is about 50 minutes.
