Goff, Barbara
Humanities·2022
The relationship between women and classical antiquity, its texts, artefacts, and study, has
been fraught to say the least; the discipline of Classics has often been defined by the exclusion of
women, in terms of their education and their ability to contribute to debates more generally. However,
we are currently in the middle of an astonishing period when women are laying more of a claim
to the discipline than ever before. This article examines three recent novels by women which take
on the cultural weight of the Homeric epics, Iliad and Odyssey, to explore the possibilities of a ‘new
song’ that foregrounds female characters. The novels experiment with different narrative voices and
are self-conscious about the practices of story-telling and of bardic song. Their awareness of their
challenge to and contest with Homeric tradition renders their ‘new songs’ fragile as well as precious.

View paper →The Politics of Despair: The Plague of 746-747 and Iconoclasm in the Byzantine Empire
David Turner
The Annual of the British School at Athens·1990
This article concerns the plague of 746-747, which took the lives of many in the Byzantine empire, especially in Constantinople. After discussing the main sources (i.e. the patriarch Nikephoros, Theodore the Stoudite, and Theophanes), mention is made of the possible influences which the plague had on developments in the iconoclastic controversy during the reign of Constantine V (741-75). The persecution of iconophile monks as well as attacks against the Holy (e.g., churches, icons, holy relics etc.) is placed in a more general psychological context which is at least partly explained by the plague. Finally, a brief reference is made to the Life of Leo of Katania which may reflect iconoclastic opinion on the matters given above. /// Εδω εξετάεται η μεγάλη πανούϰλα του 746-747 μ.Χ. που θέϱισε τιϛ ζωέϛ πολλών Βυζαντινων ϰυϱίωϛ στην Εωνσταντινούπολη. Μετά απο αναφοϱά στιϛ σχετιϰεϛ πηγέϛ (τ.ε. των Νιϰηφόϱου, Θεοδώϱου Στουδίτη ϰαι Θεοφάνουϛ του Χϱονογϱάφου) γίνεται λογοϛ για τιϛ πιθανέϛ επιδϱάσειϛ του λοιμού επάνω στηω στηϛ εξέλιξη τηϛ ειϰονομαχίαϛ επι βασιλείαϛ Εωνσταντίνου Εᾰ (741-775 μ.X.). Ο διωγμόϛ των ειϰονόφιλων μοναχών ϰαθώϛ ϰαι οι άγϱιεϛ επιθέσειϛ ενάντιον του Εαθαγιασμένου (ειϰόςεϛ, εϰϰλησίεϛ, λείψανα αγίων ϰ.λ.π) εντάσσεται σε μια γενΛϰότεϱη ψυχλογιϰή ϰϱίση, που μεϱιϰώϛ οφείλεται στν πανούϰλα. Στη συνέχεια παϱουσιάζεται μια σύντομη αναφοϱά στο βίο του αγίου Λέοντοϛ τηϛ Εατανίαϛ, ο οποίοϛ πιθανώϛ δβίνει δίνει μία ειϰοϱοςαχιϰή άποψη του όλου θέματοϛ.
