 Theory for Classics A student’s guide
What is theory and why is it important for classics and classical studies?
Like so many words in the English language, theory comes from the
Greek theoria, which means “a viewing” or “spectacle” and offers a way of
seeing. In this way, theory serves like a pair of conceptual spectacles that
you use to frame and focus on what you’re looking at.

 Spectacles of Death in Ancient Rome
The elaborate and inventive slaughter of humans and animals in the arena fed an insatiable desire for violent spectacle among the Roman people.
Donald G. Kylecombines the words of ancient authors with current scholarly research and cross-cultural perspectives, as he explores
* the origins and historical development of the games
* who the victims were and why they were chosen
* how the Romans disposed of the thousands of resulting corpses
* the complex religious and ritual aspects of institutionalised violence
* the particularly savage treatment given to defiant Christians. |
