[p. 114] CHAPTER IX. § 1. ON THE NATURE OF ELEMENTS. It would not be easy to find a more lucid explanation of the terms element and elementary , and of the distinction between them, than is found in Proclus , who is doubtless, here as so often, quoting from Geminus. There are, says Proclus, in the whole of geometry certain leading theorems, bearing to those which follow the relation of a principle, all-pervading, and furnishing proofs of many properties. Such theorems are called by the name of elements ; and their function may be compared to that of the letters of the alphabet in relation to language, letters being indeed called by the same name in Greek (stoicheia). The term elementary , on the other hand, has a wider application: it is applicable to things “which extend to greater multiplicity, and, though possessing simplicity and elegance, have no longer the same dignity as the elements , because their investigation is not of general use in the whole of the science, e.g. the proposition that in triangles the perpendiculars from the angles to the transverse sides meet in a point.” “Again, the term

Yet Zeus , they say, gave the first prize to the wine. When his son Actaeon died Aristaeus, out of grief, migrated to Sardinia. Aristaeus was son of Apollo and of Cyrene , one of the NYMPHS . His children by Autonoe 2 were Actaeon , Macris, Charmus, and Callicarpus. It is said that after dwelling some time near Mount Haemus in Thrace he never was seen again by men and received immortal honours.

Word count: 3965 words One cannot accuse Llewelyn Morgan of being coy. He begins the printed version of his doctoral thesis written at Cambridge under the supervision of Philip Hardie by proposing to read Virgil's four books on agriculture "as a thoroughgoing exercise in Octavianic propaganda, a precise response to the requirements of the regime headed by Octavian which at the time of the poem's completion was emerging from the chaos of the Civil Wars; a text, in other words, capable of yielding a highly optimistic purport". Hereby he not only turns against the predominant interpretation of the Georgics as a document of Virgil's dark vision of the world, but also against "the current author-orientated emphasis" (p.13). It seems doubtful, however, whether the Georgics can be explained simply by referring to the contemporary political necessities. Such an interpretation does not leave any room for e.g. what Friedrich Klingner has called Virgil's "innere Zwiesprache mit Lucrez". It seems equally difficult to account for what the same scholar termed "Die Einheit des Virgilischen Lebenswerkes".

Martin Bloomer Reviews such as this one present logistical difficulties to the reviewer. How does one write a short (enough) review of a collection that tackles a massive subject culture in the Augustan age using a complex field of analysis only now making inroads in classical scholarship cultural studies? (One answer seems to be "slowly," and this reviewer apologizes to the editors and the authors for the lateness of her review.) The Roman Cultural Revolution takes both small and great steps towards bringing the aims of cultural studies into classics, especially the notion that different types of cultural products history, architecture, poetry may be productively analyzed using the same tools, and that the high walls between disciplines are not insurmountable. In this way the collection advances the argument for interdisciplinary approaches to the ancient world perhaps more than the argument for importing "cultural studies" into classics (although clearly, there is overlap between the two aims).

In the Mahabharata kalahamsa is the name of several species of the hamsa bird, a goose or swan. Ardhamatra is a mystical term for one of the portions of the swan of time Brahma or the manifest or Third Logos of the universe, whose emanation or creative activity is hamsa-vahana (the vehicle or carrier of the swan). Ardhamatra, therefore, has reference to the egoic individuality of the cosmic Third Logos or Brahma (also called Purusha), considered to be "one-half the measure" of the eternal past and the eternal future such egoic individuality being the product in space and time of the continuously reimbodying spirit of the universe, evolving and changing its nature by evolution as the cycles of time pass from the present into the past, and forwards into the future.

document.write(""); ORPHREY After the death of Eurydice, Orpheus rejected the advances of the Thracian women, who, jealous of his faithfulness to the memory of his lost wife, tore him to pieces during the frenzy of tile Bacchic orgies. His head and lyre floated “down the swift Hebrus to the Lesbian shore,” where the inhabitants buried his head and a shrine was built in his honour near Antissa. The lyre was carried to heaven by the Muses, and was placed amongst the stars. The Muses also gathered up the fragments of his body and buried them at Leibethra below Olympus, where the nightingales sang over his grave, while yet another legend places his tomb at Dium, near Pydna in Macedonia. Other accounts of his death are: that he killed himself from grief at the failure of his journey to Hades; that he was struck with lightning by Zeus for having revealed the mysteries of the gods to men; or he was torn to pieces by the Maenads for having abandoned the cult of Dionysus for that of Apollo. According to Gruppe, the legend of the death of Orpheus is a late imitation of the Adonis-Osiris myth. Osiris, like Orpheus, is torn in pieces, and his head floats down every year from Egypt to Byblus; the body of Attis, the Phrygian counterpart of Adonis, like that of Orpheus, does not suffer decay.

From ELEMENTA NOVA PRO HISTORIA MACEDONO-BULGARICA, G. Sotiroff, Regina, Lynn Publishing Co., Saskatchewan, Canada, 1986 THE LANGUAGE OF CONSTANTINE THE GREAT By G Sotiroff I. In his book entitled De Magistratibus Ioannes Lydus reports that Constantine the Great wrote, in his native ( oikeia ) tongue, some Discourses which he left to posterity [1]. While avoiding carefully to specify what exactly this native tongue of Constantine was, the Lydian , deliberately or not, gives us a clue. Evidently, Constantine’s “domestic” landuage could not have been Greek; otherwise the adjective ( oikeio s) would have been out of place, even confusing [2]. Neither could Constantine’s native tongue have been Latin. To designate the Latin tongue otherwise than by its name, Byzantine writers generally used the words patri s jonh in his own home? The Lydian wrote his book sometime between years 551 and 564 A.D., when Latin in Constantinople was in full retreat [3]. Justinian himself is said to have spoken broken Latin, and Greek like a barbarian [4]. This was two centuries after the death of Constantine. Clearly, throughout this period, there was in Constantinople people who could read Latin and/or Greek, and also people who could read Constantine’s Discourses , written in his “domestic” language. The Lydian darkly hints that in his time Latin was being pushed out of official business. But, by what other language?
