Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Volume 97: Greece in Rome: Influence, Integration, Resistance

Volume 97 of Harvard Studies in Classical Philology is a special issue, entitled Greece in Rome, comprising revised versions of papers presented at a Loeb Classical Conference on the question of the Greek influence on Roman culture, with a particular though not exclusive emphasis on the Augustan period. The papers reflect the complexity of the relationship between the cultures involved–Greek, Roman, and Italic–and span many fields: history, literature, philosophy, linguistics, religion, and the visual arts. Contributors include: G. W. Bowersock, The Barbarism of the Greeks ; John Scheid, Graeco Ritu: A Typically Roman Way of Honoring the Gods ; Calvert Watkins, Greece in Italy outside Rome ; Gisela Striker, Cicero and Greek Philosophy ; Brad Inwood, Seneca in His Philosophical Milieu ; Bettina Bergmann, Greek Masterpieces and Roman Recreative Fictions ; Elaine K. Gazda, Roman Sculpture and the Ethos of Emulation: Reconsidering Repetition ; Ann Kuttner, Republican Rome Looks at Pergamon ; Cynthia Damon, Greek Parasites and Roman Patronage ; Richard F. Thomas, Vestigia Ruris: Urbane Rusticity in Virgil’s Georgics ; R. J. Tarrant, Greek and Roman in Seneca’s Tragedies ; Christopher P. Jones, Graia Pandetur ab Urbe ; Albert Henrichs, Graecia Capta: Roman Views of Greek Culture ; and Sarolta A. Takacs, Alexandria in Rome.
