The Argonautica is a generic mixture of both epic and tragic elements. On the one hand, it is an epic poem based on Homeric aesthetics. On the other hand, Apollonius differentiates himself from Homer by promoting different values through his epic. Within the Argonautica, we can distinguish a transition from an epic to a tragic poetic mode. In other words, Apollonius composes an epic that consists of many minor tragedies. Aeetes can be used as an example of this generic transition. He is supposed to be a representative of archaic epic within the Argonautica. However, although Aeetes is represented as an epic figure in the beginning of the poem, he ends up being a tragic figure, in accordance with the definition given by Aristotle in his Poetics.","PeriodicalId":40285,"journal":{"name":"Aitia-Regards sur la Culture Hellenistique au XXIe Siecle","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135605634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Revisiting the three topoi in Dissertationes 3.2","authors":"J. Sellars","doi":"10.4000/aitia.10498","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/aitia.10498","url":null,"abstract":"I re-examine the three topoi or areas of study outlined in Epictetus, Dissertationes 3.2 and the claim that they align with the traditional three parts of Stoic philosophy. I argue that they do not correspond to the three parts, but instead map out a series of stages in philosophical training. I then compare these three topoi with another set outlined in Enchiridion 52. I argue that these are distinct from the set outlined in Dissertationes 3.2 and that this second set does not map on to the three parts of Stoic philosophy either. I conclude by suggesting that the three topoi in the Dissertationes are not as central to the philosophy of Epictetus as some commentators have supposed. Introducing The Three Topoi In Dissertationes 3.2.1-2 Epictetus says that there are three topoi or areas of study in which people who would like to be fine and good (kalon kai agathon) must be trained.1 The first of these is concerned with desires and aversions (orexeis kai ekkliseis); the second is concerned with choice and refusal (hormas kai aphormas), and in general with what is an appropriate (kathêkon) way to act; and the third is concerned with avoiding errors in judgements and assents (sunkatatheseis): τρεῖς εἰσι τόποι, περὶ οὓς ἀσκηθῆναι δεῖ τὸν ἐσόμενον καλὸν καὶ ἀγαθόν· [i] ὁ περὶ τὰς ὀρέξεις καὶ τὰς ἐκκλίσεις, ἵνα μήτ ̓ ὀρεγόμενος ἀποτυγχάνῃ μήτ ̓ ἐκκλίνων περιπίπτῃ· [ii] ὁ περὶ τὰς ὁρμὰς καὶ ἀφορμὰς καὶ ἁπλῶς ὁ περὶ τὸ καθῆκον, ἵνα τάξει, ἵναεὐλογίστως, ἵνα μὴ ἀμελῶς· [iii] τρίτος ἐστὶν ὁ περὶ τὴν ἀνεξαπατησίαν καὶ ἀνεικαιότητακαὶ ὅλως ὁ περὶ τὰς συγκαταθέσεις. (Diss. 3.2.1-2) There are three fields of study in which the man who is going to be good and excellent must first have been trained. [i] The first has to do with desires and aversions, that he may never fail to get what he desires, nor fall into what he avoids; [ii] the second with cases of choice and of refusal, and, in general, with duty, that he may act in an orderly fashion, upon good reasons, and not carelessly; [iii] the third with the avoidance of error and rashness in judgement, and, in general, about cases of assent. (tr. Oldfather) 1 For text and translation of Epictetus I follow W. A. Oldfather’s edition in the Loeb Classical Library (1925-1928). Oldfather’s text follows Schenkl’s Teubner edition (1916), with some emendations. I have occasionally modified Oldfather’s translation. REVISITING THE THREE TOPOI 2 A number of scholars have suggested that these three areas of training correspond to the three traditional parts of Stoic philosophy: logic, physics, and ethics. The first area, concerned with desires is said to correspond to physics; the second area concerned with choice is said to correspond to ethics; and the third concerned with assent is said to correspond to logic. At first glance it seems fairly easy to make these connections. The third area is concerned with assent, sunkatathesis, and this is a key term in Stoic epistemology, part of logic. We are also told that the second are","PeriodicalId":40285,"journal":{"name":"Aitia-Regards sur la Culture Hellenistique au XXIe Siecle","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73234454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
