Dares and Dictys
The long-standing controversy as to whether or not the Latin Ephemeris Belli Trojani, preserved under the name of Dictys Cretensis (ed. F. Meister, Teubner, Leipsic, 1872), rests upon a Greek original has at length been settled in the affirmative by the recent discovery of a fragment of the Greek Dictys. The fragment in question was found in the winter of 1899-1900 in the Egyptian town of Umm el Baragat (the ancient Tebtunis) on the back of a series of revenue returns dated 206 A. D. and is published by the discoverers in Tebtunis Papyri Vol. II, pp. 9 ff., London, 1907. Comparison of the fragment, which is short and badly mutilated, with the corresponding portions of the extant versions of ...

The First Pagan Historian
The First Pagan Historian offers the first comprehensive account of Dares the Phyrgian, the infamous author of The History of the Destruction of Troy, tracing his afterlife from the late antique encyclopedist Isidore of Seville to Thomas Jefferson. Along the way, it reconstructs Dares' central place in longstanding debates over the nature of history, fiction, criticism, philology, and myth, from ancient Rome to the Enlightenment.
The Politics of Identity in Visigothic Spain
Previous scholarship has interpreted Bishop Isidore of Seville (d. 636) retrospectively as the architect of the medieval Spanish church, as the father of Spanish identity, and as a key figure in the transmission of Classical and Patristic learning to the Middle Ages. Drawing on recent studies on identity formation in the early medieval period and an upsurge in interest in late antique Spain, this book examines the historical Isidore as a social actor managing a complex web of responsibilities and relationships. A comparative analysis of Isidore's historical works demonstrates that writing about the past was a method for reconciling Visigothic kings, nobles and Spanish bishops in a period of transformation. This results in a fresh portrait of Isidore as motivated, both politically and pastorally, to balance competing interests and ensure the spiritual and material security of the people of Spain.
