    Empedocles and the Muse of the Agathos Logos.Alex Hardie - 2013 - American Journal of Philology 134 (2):209-246.
    This article offers a new reading of the Muse in Empedocles’ Physica. I aim to show that she is integrated into the poet’s physiological conception of the cosmos and that she also plays a central role in the furtherance of his eschatological purposes. Empedocles, it will be suggested, first put the Muse at the service of the philosophical logos, and in taking that step, he embraced and transcended the conventions of Muse-invocation not only in epic-didactic poetry but in the lyric (...)

    Juno, Hercules, and the Muses at Rome.Alex Hardie - 2007 - American Journal of Philology 128 (4):551-592.
    The Aedes Herculis Musarum (AHM), embodying musical harmony, was a symbolic focal point for political concordia at Rome. The treatment of its cult honorands in high poetry also embraces Juno Regina, whose contemporary temple was adjacent to the AHM. Juno (as Moneta) and the Muses are further associated in the function of "memory," and Juno, when offended, is susceptible to musical propitiation. The AHM is prominently identified with concord and Junonian reconciliation at the end of the Fasti, and in the (...)

    Juvenal, the Phaedrus, and the truth about Rome.Alex Hardie - 1998 - Classical Quarterly 48 (01):234-.
    In Juvenal's third satire the main speaker, Umbricius, delivers a speech of farewell as he prepares to leave Rome. In it, he mounts a sustained attack on life in the capital. By contrast, he praises Italian country towns, a combination of laudatio and vituperatio which is foreshadowed in the prefatory praise of provincial Cumae and denigration of Rome.

    Lucretius, the Atomists, and the Greek etymology of manare.Alex Hardie - 2022 - Hermes 150 (2):237.
    Lucretius’ juxtapositions of (per)manare (‘percolate’) and rarus (‘porous’), with reference to atomistic permeability and the ‘void’, imply derivation of manare from μανός (‘porous’). The ‘etymology’ thus created acknowledges a scientific debt to the early Atomists. It was later promulgated in Verrius’ De Significatu Verborum and is reflected, with echoes of Lucretius, in Horace’s programmatic Odes 4.1.

    A dithyramb for Augustus: Horace, odes 4.2.Alex Hardie - 2015 - Classical Quarterly 65 (1):253-285.
    Odes4.2 ostensibly looks forward to two public events lying at some indeterminate point in the future, Augustus' return from campaign in Gaul, and a triumph over the Sygambri. The celebrations anticipated for these occasions frame the second half of the ode; but they do not supply its dramatic setting or timing, and the latter is evidently associated with the period following Augustus' departure for Gaul in summer 16b.c., or at any rate with a time when the Sygambri were felt still (...)
