While there have been many studies devoted to the major heroes and heroines of Homeric epic, among them Achilles, Odysseus, and Helen, the figure of Menelaus has remained notably overlooked in this strand of scholarship. Menelaus in the Archaic Period is the first book-length study of the Homeric character, taking a multidisciplinary approach to his depiction in archaic Greek poetry, art, and cult through detailed analysis of ancient literary, visual, andmaterial evidence.The volume is divided into two parts, the first of which examines the portrayal of Menelaus in the Homeric poems as a unique 'personality' with an integral role to play in each narrative, as depicted through typical patterns of speech and action and through intertextual allusion. The second part explores his representation both in other poetry of the archaic period - including lyric poetry and Simonides' 'Plataea elegy ' - and also archaic art and local Sparta cult, drawing on the literary,archaeological, and inscriptional evidence for the cult of Menelaus with Helen at Therapne. The depiction of Menelaus in archaic art is a particular focal point: Chapter 4 provides a methodology for the interpretation of heroic narrative on archaic Greek vases through iconography and inscriptions andestablishes his conventional visual 'identity' on black figure Athenian vases, while an annotated catalogue of images details those that fall outside the 'norm'. Menelaus emerges from this comprehensive study as a unique and likeable character whose relationship with Helen was a popular theme in both epic poetry and vase painting, but one whose portrayal evinced a significant narrative range, with an array of continuities and differences in how he was represented by the Greeks, not only withinthe archaic period but also in comparison to classical Athens.

Die Basileia von Alexandria in Ägypten waren eine der bedeutendsten Herrscherresidenzen der hellenistischen Zeit. Sie erstreckten sich über einen beträchtlichen Teil der antiken Stadt und dienten den Ptolemäern während der nahezu 300 jährigen Existenz ihrer Dynastie als Wohn- und Regierungssitz. Die Untersuchung versammelt erstmals alle archäologischen und literarischen Quellen zum ptolemäischen Königsviertel und wertet diese detailliert aus. Neben Aspekten der Lokalisierung, des Aussehens und der Funktion der Einzelelemente der alexandrinischen Basileia werden übergeordnete Fragen adressiert, die eine kulturhistorische Einordnung der Herrscherresidenz ermöglichen. Diese beinhalten neben der komparatistischen Betrachtung hellenistischer Palastanlagen auch Verknüpfungen mit ideologischen und architektonischen Vorläufern unter der Prämisse, dass sich Aspekte der Herrschaftsideologie in der Anlage königlicher Bauten und Bauensembles widerspiegeln. Der vorliegende Band bietet eine umfassende topographisch-urbanistische Rekonstruktion der Basileia von Alexandria und veranschaulicht, wie sich diese in der Entwicklung hellenistischer Residenzen verorten lässt. Durch die Einbettung in einen breiteren kulturhistorischen Kontext lassen sich zudem Traditionen und Innovationen des ptolemäischen Königsviertels aufzeigen und evaluieren.

Sixteen hundred years after her death (d. 415 CE), the legacy of Hypatia of Alexandria's life, teaching, and especially her violent demise, continue to influence modern culture. Through a series of focused articles, this volume takes a fresh look at the most well-known ancient female philosopher under three aspects: first, through the evidence provided by her most famous pupil, Synesius of Cyrene; next, by placing her in her late antique cultural context, and, finally, through analysis of her reception both ancient and modern. Though the sources are meager, Hypatia's influence on her students and wider culture guaranteed that she remained an important figure throughout the centuries, albeit one ranging from chaste Neoplatonist to conniving witch. Along with its eleven new essays, this volume also includes a new translation of all the principal ancient sources touching on Hypatia.
