"This volume completes, starting from chapter 6, the commentary by the young Philoponus on Aristotle's Categories, of which chapters 1–5 were previously published in this series (Philoponus: On Aristotle Categories 1–5 with Philoponus: A Treatise Concerning the Whole and the Parts). This ancient commentary was the first work in the Aristotelian syllabus after a general introduction to Aristotle by the same author. It is influenced by an extant short anonymous record of Philoponus' teacher Ammonius' lectures on the same work, but Philoponus' commentary is two and a half times as long as that anonymous record, and includes special contributions of Philoponus' own, for example in philology, Christian theology and in disagreements with Aristotle"-- Introduction: Notum iter ad Thebas -- Prisca Nomina -- An Audience for the Thebaid -- Suspense, Anticipation, and Surprise -- Epic and Drama -- Chapter 1: Beginning with the End -- They call me Jocasta -- The Thebaid's Prologue -- Chapter 2: Portentous Beginnings -- Argos and the Seeds of War -- The Wedding Portents -- The Necklace of Harmonia -- Argia's Unease -- Amphiaraus and the Flight of Birds -- The Bacchant and the Necromancy -- Chapter 3: Hypsipyle and the Army at Nemea -- Hypsipyle's Lemnian Narrative -- The Death and Funeral of Opheltes -- Funeral Consolations -- Chapter 4: Jocasta -- Tisiphone's Fears -- Jocasta and Polynices -- Jocasta and Eteocles -- Chronology and Suspense -- Strategies of Elision -- Jocasta's Hope and Death -- Chapter 5: Iam Pater Est -- The Curse -- Anticipation -- Outcome -- Chapter 6: Portentous Ends -- Amphiaraus -- Tydeus -- Hippomedon -- Parthenopaeus -- Capaneus -- Adrastus -- Menoeceus -- Chapter 7: Hic imperat, ille minatur -- The Anonymous Critic -- Polynices -- Eteocles -- Chapter 8: Concluding the Thebaid -- The Idalian Doves -- The Edict of Creon -- The Choices of Oryntus -- Ubi incluta fama Antigone? -- The Twin Flames -- Choosing Theseus -- Fidissime Phegeus -- Bibliography -- Index.
