Academic literature on the topic 'Timagenes'

AbstractThe following new taxa of Xantholininae are described: Lithocharodes scutifer sp. nov. (Arizona), Habrolinus californicus sp. nov. (California), H. hardyi sp. nov. (California and Oregon), H. abdominalis sp. nov. (California), H. andrewsi sp. nov. (California and Oregon), Linohesperus spiculifer sp. nov. (California), L. iaculator sp. nov. (California), L. montivagus sp. nov. (California), L. priapus sp. nov. (California), Neohypnus coloratus sp. nov. (Florida), Oxybleptes meridionalis sp. nov. (Florida).The genus Timagenes Smetana 1982 is placed as a subgenus of the genus Habrolinus Casey 1906 (new status). The treatments of the genera Habrolinus and Timagenes in my revision (Smetana 1982: 134–143) are entirely rewritten. A new key to the known species of Linohesperus Smetana 1982 is given.Additional data on taxonomy, bionomics, and geographical distribution of many species of Xantholininae in North America are presented.

Abstract This article argues that the concept of migrant literature, developed in postcolonial studies, is a useful tool for analysing Greek literature of the Early Roman Empire (27 BC-AD 68). The city of Rome attracted huge numbers of migrants from across the Mediterranean. Among them were many writers from Hellenized provinces like Egypt, Syria and Asia, who wrote in Greek. Leaving their native regions and travelling to Rome, they moved between cultures, responding in Greek to the new world order. Early imperial Greek writers include Strabo of Amasia, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Nicolaus of Damascus, Timagenes of Alexandria, Crinagoras of Mytilene, Philo of Alexandria and Paul of Tarsus. What connects these authors of very different origins, styles, beliefs, and literary genres is migrancy. They are migrant writers whose works are characterized by in-betweenness, ambivalence and polyphony.

Cette thèse porte sur l'étude de Timagène d’Alexandrie, historien du Ier siècle av. J.-C., et sur l’influence de sa production littéraire dans les Histoires Philippiques de Trogue Pompée, la Géographie de Strabon et l’Histoire Naturelle de Pline l’Ancien. À travers une comparaison des textes anciens, latins et grecs, nous avons identifié cinq nouveaux fragments de Timagène, susceptibles d’être ajoutés à la collection de F. Jacoby. Ces fragments portent d’une part sur l’histoire gauloise et alpine, à laquelle Timagène accordait une attention particulière en explorant l’ethnographie et les légendes anciennes.D’autre part, ils se réfèrent à l'anabase d’Alexandre, sujet que l’auteur a connu à travers l'œuvre de Clitarque. Le portrait de Timagène qui ressort de ces fragments est celuid’un érudit alexandrin désireux de transmettre le savoir hellénistique aux cercles culturels romains: c’est à Rome qu’il a entrepris d’enseigner la rhétorique attique, et qu’il a rédigé ses ouvrages historiques, tout en maintenant des liens étroits avec sa ville natale, Alexandrie. Du point de vue historique, Timagène se présente comme un digne héritier de la tradition historiographique grecque, en particulier celle représentée par Hérodote et Théopompe. L’œuvre de Timagène a exercé une influence significative sur les productions littéraires de l’époque augustéenne, en particulier dans le domaine de l'histoire de la Gaule et de la région alpine : en effet, Trogue Pompée a repris les récits de Timagène aux livrescentraux de son œuvre historique (XXXXXII), tandis que Strabon a cité l'historien au livre IV de sa Géographie
This thesis delves into the study of Timagenes of Alexandria, a historian from the Augustan era, and his impact on Pompey Trogue’ Philippic Histories, Strabo's Geography, and Pliny the Elder's Natural History. By comparing ancient texts, latin and greek, we've discovered five new fragments of Timagenes' historical works, that merit inclusion in F. Jacoby’s collection. Thesefragments delve into Gaulish and Alpine history, a subject that Timagenes explored with particular interest through ethnography and ancient legends. Additionally, they reference the anabasis of Alexander, a topic Timagenes was familiar with through the works of Cleitarchus. The portrait of Timagenes that emerges from these fragments is that of an Alexandrian scholareager to impart Hellenistic knowledge to Roman cultural circles. It was in Rome that he undertook to teach Attic rhetoric and wrote his historical works, all while maintaining close ties with his hometown, Alexandria. From a historical perspective, Timagenes emerges as a worthy heir to the greek historiographical tradition, particularly that represented by Herodotus and Theopompus. Timagenes’ work exerted significant influence on the literary productions of the Augustan era, especially in the field of Gaulish and Alpine history: indeed, Pompey Trogue incorporated Timagenes’ accounts into the central books of his historical work (XXXXXII), while Strabo cited the historian in Book IV of his Geography

Various time-based visualization techniques have been designed to support the temporal analysis of data collections. While quantities play a secondary role in traditional timelines that reserve space for each individual data item to be observed, time graphs rather display quantitative information and they provide interaction means to filter for a subset of the data. Timages is a hybrid approach that enhances quantitative time graphs with qualitative information in an infographic-style. By (1) scaling thumbnails of data items dependent on relevance to the observed topic and by (2) time-dependent positioning these thumbnails inside a temporally aligned area with a novel space-filling strategy, the most relevant items in the entire data collection as well as predominant data items of certain time ranges are instantly seizable without the need to interact with the time graph.

This chapter examines the activities of Gaius Asinius Pollio in building a cosmopolitan, intellectual community in Rome in the course of the late 40s and 30s BCE. Pollio’s reimagination of the Atrium Libertatis as a museum and center of research and performance served to elide cultural and imperial concerns. The institution effectively forged a network of high-profile scholars and students from the Hellenistic East, with Pollio as their patron. These included the reactionary historian Timagenes of Alexandria and the heirs of kingdoms in Judaea and North Africa. Such endeavors were inherently political in nature and constituted an ambitious assertion of primacy at a time when no forerunning princeps yet existed—a phenomenon reflected in Vergil’s evocation of Pollio in the Fourth Eclogue.
