The Sophists: An IntroductionEdited by P F O’Grady The Sophists were bold, exciting innovators with new ideas about Athenian society. The Athenians flocked to hear them and enrol in their courses.

From the Harpy Tomb to the Wonders of Ephesus: British Archaeologists in the Ottoman Empire 1840-1880A fascinating look into the archaeological world of the Orient in the nineteenth century. Using journals written at the time, Dr Challis examines the complex depiction of the Orient as a place to be both feared and admired, and above all concentrates on the invention of the modern idea of the adventuring archaeologist, on the personal stories of the archaeologists, on their feelings about the antiquities they discovered and the lands in which they discovered them.

Here Han Baltussen argues that our understanding of Simplicius’ methodology will be greatly enhanced if we study how his scholarly approach impacts on his philosophical exegesis.
