Abstract:
While restating the correct interpretation of the prologue to the Hecyra of Terence in CQ 32 (1982), 134 F. H. Sandbach has this to say: ‘Possibly the widespread view which the translators and I reject has been encouraged by disbelief that the theatre could be used for gladiatorial combat. It is true that there is no reliable evidence for such use at Rome, for Donatus' statement “hoc abhorret a nostra consuetudine uerumtamen apud antiquos gladiatores in theatro spectabantur” may be no more than inference from Terence's text.’ There is, in fact, a certain amount of evidence for gladiatorial combats in the theatres at Rome, that is at venues where ludi scaenici were performed, which it is difficult to regard as unreliable and which is consistent with what we know of the relationship between the theatre and gladiatorial games.

Abstract:
Correspondence which has come to light in the Edith Simon Archive at the National Library of Scotland concerns the translation and publication of Arthur Koestler's novel Der Sklavenkrieg in English as The Gladiators. Most of the letters were written by Koestler to the translator, Edith Simon (1917–2003), while her work was in progress. Since neither Koestler nor Simon left any detailed account of their collaboration over the translation, the letters provide new insight into the process which concluded with Jonathan Cape's publication of the English version of Koestler's novel in 1939. Koestler points to works that influenced his own writing style, and light is shed on the author-translator relationship.

Abstract:
At the age of twenty-five, Gn. Pompeius acquired the spectacular cognomen of Magnus. According to Plutarch (Pomp. 13), the name came either from the acclamation of his army in Africa, or at the instigation of Sulla. According to Livy, the practice began from the toadying of Pompeius' circle (‘ab adsentatione familiar’, 30.45.6). The cognomen invited play. At the Ludi Apollinares of July 59, Cicero tells us, the actor Diphilus won ‘a dozen encores’ when he pronounced, from a lost tragedy, the line ‘nostra miseria tu es magnus’. Four or five years later Catullus scored a fine hit, filching Pompeius' cognomen and giving it to his zealously competitive father-in-law: ‘Caesaris uisens monimenta magni’ (11.10). In Lucan's Bellum Civile such plays on the cognomen are elevated into something of considerable power, testifying to a consistent controlling design, of the sort which many still deny the poem.When Pompeius first appears he is compared with Caesar, to his detriment: ‘nec coiere pares’ (1.129). So much for Pompeius' vaunted intolerance of an equal, of which we have just been reminded: ‘nec quemquam iam ferre potest Caesarue priorem | Pompeiusue parem’ (125f.). Many of the images in this introductory section have a programmatic power, and will recur. With ‘nec coiere pares’ Lucan presents the two as an ill-matched pair of gladiators. The metaphor is ubiquitous. Note, in particular, 5.1–3, and 6.3, ‘parque suum uidere dei’. We are further told that Pompeius seeks ‘fama’, is a ‘popularis’, indulges the people, basks in the applause he receives from the mob in his theatre: ‘famaeque petitor | multa dare in uolgus, totus popularibus auris | impelli plausuque sui gaudere theatri’ (131–3). We will return later to this complex of ideas.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the tradition of periodical adventure stories that existed in Britain during the period 1825–1935, focusing on “story papers” and “penny bloods,” also known as “penny dreadfuls.” It first provides a historical background on the emergence of British comics before discussing “story papers” and “penny dreadfuls,” and especially their relationship with similar publications in America and the characters who, in retrospect, can be seen as protosuperheroes and villains. It also shows how these publications established the market and audience for adventure comics in Britain and influenced the rise of a similar market in America, where dime novels and pulp magazines, along with newspaper strips, would later influence the rise of superhero comics. The chapter concludes with an analysis of three of the early treatments of the superhuman from science-fiction literature: Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race (1871), Philip Wylie's The Gladiator (1930), and Olaf Stapledon's Odd John (1935).

Abstract:
Abstract It has been a truism of past scholarship that the Romans had no time for Greek athletics, attacking the immorality and lewdness of the Greek gymnasium and pre- ferring the violent contests of the arena and the circus to athletics in the stadium. Plentiful quotations from Latin literature have been used to support these claims and, for the most part, scholars have been content to ignore or underplay the liter- ary, epigraphical, and visual evidence which attests to Greek athletic activities in the heart of Rome. This can be seen especially clearly in the scholarship on Roman spectacle culture, which has long been dominated instead by the study of gladiator- ial contests and chariot races. Yet the interest in Roman spectacles which is attested by these studies suggests that an examination of other types of public spectacle and performance should indeed be a welcome addition to the Weld. In this chapter I intend to study the literary and archaeological evidence for the introduction of Greek athletic festivals and training to Rome, and thus to set some of the most-cited criticisms of Greek athletics more Wrmly into their cultural con- texts. The following chapters in this section will look more closely at the visual evidence, suggesting that this shows a strong interest in contemporary athletic festivals as well as the broader cultural ideals of the Greek gymnasium, both in Rome and elsewhere around the western provinces of the empire.
