- The Household of Ischomachus in Xenophon’s Oeconomicus.Lowell Edmunds - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):2-12.In Xenophon’s Oeconomicus Ischomachus instructs his wife in the management of their household. The detailed account of this subject which emerges has no parallel in Greek literature. Textile production is an important aspect of this household’s implicit self-sufficiency, which in this respect is still Homeric. Ischomachus’ division of his and his wife’s spheres of activity between outdoors and indoors also corresponds to Hector’s admonition to Andromache in the Iliad (6.490-93). There is a fundamental dissymmetry between Ischomachus and his wife. His (...)

- Ethical Architecture in Horace’s Second Book of Satires.Andrew J. Horne - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):51-69.The paper argues for a new architectural pattern in Horace’s second book of Satires, complementing the schemes of Boll and Ludwig. The book is structured around the investigation of ethical options. The poems evaluate, pro and con, three major approaches to the happy life - a structure probably influenced by Cicero’s De Finibus. Horace wades through virtue ethics (2.2-3), materialist ethics (2.4-5), and dependent ethics (2.6-7), and he frames his investigation by reflecting on options (2.1, 2.8). A book for a (...)
- Herr Durch und Frau Leicht: Zeus und Rhea im Proömium der Erga.Martin Korenjak - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):113-117.Hesiod is fond of interpreting names of gods etymologically. The present article is dedicated to a previously overlooked example of this phenomenon. It postulates that the prominence of the adverb ῥέα / ῥεῖα (‘easily’) in OD 5-7 alludes to the name of Zeus’ mother Rhea and presents arguments in support of this thesis.
- Soranus of Ephesus, Orion and Meletius: With or Without ἤ.Claire Le Feuvre - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):70-92.The study focuses on six etymologies explicitly attributed to Soranus of Ephesus by one source at least (χολάδες, λύπη, μασχάλη, κράτα, κρανίον, σιαγών). A comparison between the texts of Orion, Meletius and the Byzantine Etymologica shows that all the sources ascribe to Soranus etymologies that were not his, as a result of a loss of information or of a misunderstanding of the source text, namely Orion. It also shows that Meletius’ text agrees with the Et. Gudianum and the version of (...)No categories
- Notes on the Position of the Pronoun Ἐγώ in the Iambic Trimeter of Greek Theatre (II): Comedy.Felipe G. Hernández Muñoz & Máximo A. García González - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):118-121.The study of the position of ἐγώ in the iambic trimeter of Greek Theatre has been added to with the data from comedy (Aristophanes and Menander) and conclusions have been drawn, comparing them with those from tragedy: Aeschylus and Sophocles, on the one hand, and Aristophanes and Menander, on the other, seem to be opposed in their tendencies.
- Καὶ τὰς οὐσίας δὲ κοινὰς ποιησάμενοι.Aron Teuscher & Aaron Gebler - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):13-27.The paper examines a widely discussed passage in Diodorus’ Historical Library that describes the development of the social structure of the Lipari Islands. By reconstructing the history of research, terminological ambiguities are identified, forming the basis for a reinterpretation of the passage. It is demonstrated that the Liparensians implemented specific institutional orders, continually adapting to the demands of their surroundings, yet always aware of the impact and consequences of their actions.
- Die lex Manilia de libertinorum suffragiis und die Gesetzgebung der Volkstribunen in der späten römischen Republik.Jan Timmer - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):28-50.This essay explores the lex Manilia de libertinorum suffragiis and patterns of tribunician legislation. The law, which was passed on 29 December 67 BC, provided for freedmen to be enrolled into their manumitter’s tribe, instead of one of the four urban tribes. Initially, the speed with which Manilius pushed through his initiative resulted in procedural errors and so led to the abrogation of law. But he was not alone in his efforts to rush a law through the People’s Assembly as (...)No categories
- Auianea.Giovanni Zago - 2025 - Hermes 153 (1):93-112.This article provides critical notes and conjectural emendations to five of Avianus’s fables (8; 15; 17; 34; 37), and a new interpretation of a controversial passage in the preface, namely fabulas (…) quas rudi Latinitate compositas elegis sum explicare conatus.
