    This wide-ranging collection makes available to specialists and nonspecialists alike important critical work on the Odyssey produced during the last half century. The ten essays address five major concerns: the poem's programmatic representation of social and religious institutions and values; its transformation of folktales and traditional stories into epic adventures; its representation of gender roles and, in particular, of Penelope; its narrative strategies and form; and its relation to the Iliad, especially to that epic's distinctive conception of heroism. In the introduction, Seth L. Schein describes the poetic background to the work and suggests a variety of interpretive approaches, some of which are developed in the essays that follow. These essays include previously published work by Jean-Pierre Vernant, Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Pietro Pucci, and Charles P. Segal. There also are a new essay by Laura M. Slatkin, two revised and expanded ones by Nancy Felson-Rubin and Michael N. Nagler, and three appearing in English for the first time by Uvo Hlscher, Karl Reinhardt, and Vernant. The result is a collection that juxtaposes older, often hard-to-find articles with significant newer pieces in a way that allows for a fruitful dialogue among them

    Zusammenfassung: Reputation is central to ideas of the heroic. This E-Journal is therefore a suitable place for a record of the 2015 colloquium for doctoral students of Queen Mary University of London and the Humanities Graduate School of the University of Freiburg that was held in cooperation with the SFB 948 and discussed a range of historically and culturally variable concepts connected with reputation(s) and the processes through which reputations are made, remade and sometimes unmade

    This article seeks to offer a new reading of 1 Peter, while building upon the work of Barth L. Campbell, Travis B. Williams, and David G. Horrell (and others of course). Campbell sought to elucidate the importance of honor for the audience of 1 Peter utilizing Rhetorical Criticism, while both Williams and Horrell have employed Postcolonial Criticism to provide a reading “from the margins.” Specifically, Williams offered an interpretation of “good works” which situated that semantic and conceptual domain within subaltern strategies of mimicry and symbolic inversion. However, heretofore largely unexplored in 1 Peter is that aspect of the honor equation which actualizes honor: the honorific. This study argues that “the unfading crown of glory” in 1 Pet 5:4 serves as a conceptual key to the subversive honorific language within, thereby actualizing (and subverting) the broader theme of honor through the recognition of “good works.”

  6. Tyre's Glory and Demise

    In Ezekiel 27, the city of Tyre is depicted as a beautiful ship whose success in trade is the very cause of its demise. As a seafaring vessel, Tyre is laden with goods from the surrounding nations with whom it trades. But a heavy ship in a storm can sink. In Ezekiel 27, weightiness-“glory” ( כבוד )-turns to excess weight, and it is precisely this weightiness that brings about Tyre’s failure on the sea. The presentation of Tyre’s demise is heightened by a preceding praise of its glory. This glory is the city’s beauty, systematically described from end to end, as perfect bodies are in biblical and ancient Near Eastern literature. Ezekiel 27 is thus animated by two simultaneous metaphors: the city as a ship, whose weight determines its viability on the sea, and the city as a body, whose interaction with others determines its success in the world but whose corporeal boundaries must be maintained for health.

    Proverbs 25.27, particularly the second verset (27b) as found in the Masoretic Text, has created problems for interpreters. This paper identifies those problems and then lists, summarizes, and evaluates the major options that interpreters have offered as well as offering a couple of new options based on recognizing a double entendre.
