Most such studies, however, involve the peoples of the successor states of Alexander's empire. Less well known were the encounters between Greeks and the independent peoples living beyond the frontiers of the Greek world. A noteworthy example of such an encounter is that between Ptolemaic Egypt and the kingdom of Kush in Nubia. Early interpretations of this encounter relied on the concept of Hellenization, arguing that objects of Mediterranean origin found in Nubia and examples of Greek influence observed in Kushite art were evidence of Hellenization. My purpose in this paper is to offer a new interpretation of the encounter of Kush with Ptolemaic Egypt, one that emphasizes the function of Greek culture in Kush and does not rely on the concept of Hellenization but highlights instead the agency of the Kushites in determining the extent and character of that influence.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"64 1","pages":"48 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49475675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper I argue against such a classification because in my view it is too narrow. First, I briefly recall traditional and less orthodox readings of Socrates' view.

Finally, I suggest that a more comprehensive reading of Socrates' position is accurate. I conclude by reformulating Socrates' position and suggesting a new way to describe it.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"64 1","pages":"263 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45902319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Used self-reflexively in the expression 'I share knowledge with myself', συνειδέναι commonly marks an act of introspection of a guilty party. Sharing knowledge with another, on the other hand, is an activity that often distinguishes accomplices and co-conspirators. Both uses are to be found in Antiphon's works. Though this is also the case with contemporary authors whose use of this verb has been more thoroughly investigated, Antiphon's use of this verb is distinct in a number of ways. Antiphon more readily associates this verb with witnesses and this 'shared knowledge' is an obvious concern of the litigants. Moreover, the reflexive 'guilty self-knowledge' is characterized primarily as a dispositional attitude to be inferred from the observable actions of litigants. Both of these features, I argue, can be related to the rhetorical context of Antiphon's speeches.","PeriodicalId":41891,"journal":{"name":"Acta Classica","volume":"64 1","pages":"72 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45280496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
