Aims and Scopes

The journal publishes critical analyses of classical texts, exploring themes, structures, and historical contexts in Greek literature, from Homeric epics to later works. - Indo-European Linguistics:
Research on Indo-European languages, including etymology, syntax, and the evolution of terms across different languages, forms a significant part of the journal's focus. - Cultural and Historical Context:
Papers often investigate the cultural, social, and political dimensions of ancient texts, shedding light on their implications for understanding classical civilizations. - Textual Criticism and Editions:
The journal features critical editions of ancient texts, including discussions on manuscript traditions, textual variants, and philological methodologies. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
There is a consistent emphasis on interdisciplinary research, integrating insights from history, archaeology, literature, and philosophy to provide a comprehensive understanding of classical studies.
Trending and Emerging
- Interconnections Between Myth and Culture:
There is an increasing focus on how myth interacts with cultural practices, as seen in studies of rituals, festivals, and their representations in literature, highlighting the relevance of myth in ancient societies. - Digital Humanities and Textual Analysis:
Emerging methodologies in digital humanities are being embraced, with papers utilizing computational tools for textual analysis, enhancing research on ancient texts and their contexts. - Gender Studies in Classical Literature:
A growing trend in examining gender roles and representations in classical texts is evident, as scholars explore the dynamics of gender in ancient narratives and their implications for contemporary discourse. - Political Themes in Classical Texts:
Recent works increasingly analyze the political dimensions of classical literature, discussing themes of power, governance, and resistance, which resonate with modern political contexts. - Environmental and Ecological Perspectives:
There is a budding interest in exploring ecological themes within classical literature, examining how ancient texts reflect human interactions with nature and the environment.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Rhetoric and Oratory:
Papers focusing specifically on classical rhetoric and oratorial techniques have become less frequent, possibly reflecting a shift towards more thematic and contextual analyses rather than technical dissection of rhetorical forms. - Mythological Studies:
While myth continues to be a topic of interest, studies that solely focus on mythological narratives without connecting them to broader cultural or historical contexts are appearing less often. - Prescriptive Grammar Studies:
Research that strictly adheres to prescriptive grammar rules of ancient languages has waned, as there is a growing preference for descriptive and functional approaches to language use. - Reception Studies of Classical Texts:
Papers examining the reception of classical texts in later periods, particularly in modern literature and arts, have diminished, indicating a potential shift towards more immediate historical analyses. - Narrowly Focused Historical Studies:
Studies that concentrate solely on specific historical events without broader implications or connections to literature are becoming less common, as interdisciplinary approaches gain prominence.
