" On se propose de montrer ici d'après quels principes et par quelles règles la société grecque et la société romaine se sont gouvernées. On réunit dans la même étude les Romains et les Grecs, parce que ces deux peuples, qui étaient deux branches d'une même race, et qui parlaient deux idiomes issus d'une même langue, ont eu aussi les mêmes institutions et les mêmes principes de gouvernement et ont traversé une série de révolutions semblables.On s'attachera surtout à faire ressortir les différences radicales et essentielles qui distinguent à tout jamais ces peuples anciens des sociétés modernes. Notre système d'éducation, qui nous fait vivre dès l'enfance au milieu des Grecs et des Romains, nous habitue à les comparer sans cesse à nous, à juger leur histoire d'après la nôtre et à expliquer nos révolutions par les leurs. Ce que nous tenons d'eux et ce qu'ils nous ont légué nous fait croire qu'ils nous ressemblaient; nous avons quelque peine à les considérer comme des peuples étrangers; c'est presque toujours nous que nous voyons en eux."

Dieser Sammelband widmet sich den römischen Epikern Lucan, Valerius Flaccus, Statius und Silius Italicus. Die Beiträge beleuchten den Kontrast zwischen Gattungstheorie und -praxis, das Zusammenspiel von Gattungsinterferenzen und Intertextualität sowie das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Konvention und Innovation. Im Mittelpunkt steht das Verhältnis der nachaugusteischen Epik zur früheren Tradition, d. h. zu maßgeblichen Vorgängern wie Homer, Vergil und Ovid. Die Selbstpositionierung der späteren Dichter in Bezug zum Kanon geht häufig mit der Bemühung einher, traditionelle Elemente neu zu konfigurieren: Durch Aussparung, Variation oder Übersteigerung gattungstypischer Aspekte treten ihre Werke in einen Dialog mit den früheren Epen und unterwandern dabei permanent die Erwartungshorizonte des Publikums. Hierbei spielt die Einbindung gattungsfremder Diskurse eine zentrale Rolle: Moderne literaturwissenschaftliche Konzepte zur Analyse von Gattungsinterferenzen werden im Sammelband kritisch evaluiert und reflektiert in die Interpretation einbezogen. Die methodische Bandbreite und die innovativen Zugänge in diesem Band leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Vertiefung und Erweiterung des aktuellen Forschungsstandes.

Themistios, ein anerkannter Philosoph seiner Zeit, gilt als einer der erfolgreichsten Lobredner des 4. nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts. Lange Zeit wurde ihm vor allem die Rolle eines Regierungssprechers zugeschrieben und seine Behauptung, dass er den Kaiser als Philosoph lobt, für reine Rhetorik gehalten. Diese Arbeit geht unter der Prämisse des Akzeptanzmodells vor allem der Frage nach, wie der große Erfolg Themistios' zu erklären ist, der immerhin Hauptredner auf vier aufeinanderfolgende Kaiser war. Die textnahe Untersuchung der Reden zeigt, dass sich Themistios als nicht-christlicher Philosoph stark von den neuplatonischen Philosophen seiner Zeit unterscheidet und vor allem diese Themistios abgesprochen haben, als Philosoph zu sprechen. Ein Ergebnis der Untersuchung ist, dass die Gruppe der nicht-christlichen Philosophen weniger homogen war als bisher vermutet, und es bei Themistios eine größere Nähe zu den christlichen Herrschaftsvorstellungen, gibt als bislang angenommen. Es zeigt sich, dass Themistios' Vorstellung eines guten Herrschers mit dem der Neuplatoniker nicht zu vereinbaren ist und diese jedoch bei dem Gros der Eliten großen Anklang fand. Themistios kann damit als einer der ersten politischen Philosophen gelten.

Iako je obaveza svakog vilenjaka da nau¿i sve o prirodi i njihovoj zätiti, Bo nije ni najmanje zainteresovan za to. Naprotiv, njega vi¿e privläe ljudi ili "stulti" kako ih vilenjaci nazivaju iako je svaki kontakt sa njima za njih u potpunosti zabranjen. Uz to ga na putu do ¿kole napadaju u¿asne Fisole zbog kojih svakoga dana dolazi ku¿i iscepan. Bo ni ne sluti da ¿e ga upravo kontakt sa de¿akom na ¿ijem imanju ¿ivi njegova porodica navesti na trag njegove najve¿e ¿ivotne ¿elje. Od trenutka kada je video galije koje plove po ju¿nim morima Bo ne mo¿e tu zamisao sebi izbiti iz glave. Zato kri¿om be¿i od ku¿e ne obaziru¿i se na gramzive investitore koji prete da sravne sa zemljom ¿umu u kojoj ¿ivi boginja svih bartolina, drvo duda po imenu Natura. Ali tek tamo u daljini Bo shvata gde zaista pripada i vräa se u poslednji ¿as da spasi svoju ¿umu. Kao nagradu Natura ¿e mu pokloniti krila ¿to se nije dogodilo ve¿ poslednjih nekoliko stotina godina.
