Ovid, Heroides Menelaus is the king of Sparta who was robbed of his sweet wife Helen by a guest he received in his palace. For his sake, a fleet of unprecedented size sailed to Troy in order to demand, by persuasion or by force, the restoration of Helen and the Spartan property that the seducer Paris , breaking all laws of hospitality, had stolen. Youth King Atreus of Mycenae , having a serious feud with his brother Thyestes 1, decided to arrest him.

Extractions: There is a story reported by Plutarch in his Life Of Alexander, which says that the conqueror, being so taken by Egypt decided to found: "a large and populous Greek city which should bear his name, and by the advice of his architects was on the point of measuring off and enclosing a certain site for it. Then, in the night, as he lay asleep, he saw a wonderful vision. A man with very hoary locks and of a venerable aspect appeared to stand by his side and recite these verses:- In front of Egypt; Pharos is what men call it.' " Alexander knew his Homer and these brief lines were enough to call to mind the long passage from Book IV of The Odyssey where Menelaus tells Telemachus how he was stranded on the shores of Egypt. The island, Menelaus made clear, offered a good harbour where one could pull ships up onto the shore and take on water. So, continues Plutarch, the Macedonian set himself before the isle of Pharos and judging the situation to be very suitable "he said he saw that Homer was not only admirable in other ways, but also a very wise architect, and ordered the plan of the city to be drawn in conformity with this site." Alexander did not stay long enough to witness the construction of the city and could not have known that the little island of Pharos would be the site of and give its name to the seventh Wonder of the World.

And, when rumours were heard that Stateira was also pregnant she acted immediately. Her rival was at Ecbatana, hundreds of miles from Babylon, and this gave her the opportunity. She sent a forged letter-purporting to be from Alexander-ordering Darius' daughter to come to Babylon. The messenger travelled at such speed he outstripped the news of the king's death and Stateira obeyed the summons accompanied by her sister, the widow of Hephaistion. When they reached the court Roxanne had them both unceremoniously murdered and their corpses dumped in a well with orders for her servants to fill it in (2). A potential for dynastic complications was eliminated. There had been general complicity in the murder. With opportunity enough to arrange the disposal of the inconvenient boy during the peace negotiations and the fact that hardly any complaints were made after the event makes certain what the timing makes probable. In the event, his passing did not shake the world. The legitimate line of Alexander the Great was extinguished with hardly a whimper of regret. He had been living under a sentence of death all his short life and the end came as a shock to few. Only in a later era was the propaganda of opprobrium mobilised against the name of his executioner. For contemporaries in the market place and garrison so much had happened in the twelve years since Alexander's death that he was just another great name come to an untimely end.

Extractions: Book I Introduction. The romance begins with information about Sidon, where the first narrator has put in after barely escaping from a violent storm. After making an offering to Astarte, he goes site-seeing, and comes to a picture of Zeus abducting Europa, which receives a vivid ecphrasis. As the narrator comments aloud concerning the power of Eros (here depicted as a child), a young man says "How well I know it, for all the indignities Eros has made me endure." Intrigued, the narrator invites the young man, who in fact is Kleitophon, the hero of the romance, to sit down and tell him his story. Achilles Tatius never returns to this frame narrative. Kleitophon first tells how he was born in Tyre; his father was Hippias and his half-sister was Kalligone. His uncle Sostratos lived in Byzantium. Hippias had planned for Kleitophon to wed Kalligone now that he was nineteen years old, but clearly the fates had different plans, which they perhaps signaled to Kleitophon by a dream in which he and his prospective bride, whose bodies were grown together, were separated by a sickle-wielding woman who looked rather like a fury. Soon Sostratos sends his wife Pantheia and his daughter Leukippe to his brother Hippias, so that they will be safe; a war with Thrace has put Byzantium in danger. Kleitophon falls in love with Leukippe at first glance; there is no sense that she fall in love with him at this moment, however. During that evening's dinner party and after going to bed, the flames of love grow ever greater within the tormented Kleitophon.

Saturday 28/07/01 On this week's LINGUA FRANCA: THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA AND WHAT CAME BEFORE LIONEL CASSON Author of LIBRARIES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD/YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS Founded by Ptolemy I at the beginning of the third century BC, THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA is the most famous library of the ancient world. In his slim history LIBRARIES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD, American classicist LIONEL CASSON devotes a chapter to it - the third chapter. What preceded it? The beginnings have been found in palace archives - hoards of clay tablets inscribed in cuneiform - in Mesopotamia: the ancient Near East. But critical to the development in the Hellenic world of the library as we know it were the adoption of the alphabet and the use of papyrus scrolls. Details or Transcript: THEME Jill Kitson: Welcome to Lingua Franca, I'm Jill Kitson. The Library of Alexandria, founded by Ptolemy I at the end of the 4th century BC is the most famous library of the ancient world. Its collection of papyrus scrolls, said to have numbered nearly half a million, drew intellectuals from all over the Greek speaking world. It survived Julius Caesar's torching of the nearby dockyards in 50 BC to last beyond the era of the Ptolemys well into the 3rd century of the Christian era, when it was destroyed in a local uprising. In many respects, the Library of Alexandria was like any of our great modern public libraries: it sought to be comprehensive, to hold authoritative texts on all subjects; works were catalogued and stored in alphabetical order by subject. The Library was open to all scholars. In other ways, it was like a research school and a scholarly publishing house: its scholars compared and analysed texts, translated them, wrote commentaries, and undertook lexicography and the study of grammar.

Its old Egyptian name was Pikuat; the Greeks called it Kanobos, or Kanopos, after a commander of a Greek fleet buried there. The city stood in the seventh Nomos (Menelaites, later Canopites), not far from the Canopic mouth. It had many martyrs in the persecution of Diocletian , among others St. Athanasia with her three daughters, and St. Cyrus and John. There was here a monastery called Metanoia, founded by monks from Tabennisi, where many patriarchs of Alexandria took shelter during the religious quarrels of the fifth century. Two miles east of Canopus was the famous heathen temple of Manouthin, afterwards destroyed by monks, and a church on the same spot dedicated to the Evangelists. St. Cyril of Alexandria solemnly transported the relics of the holy martyrs Cyrus and John into the church, which became an important place of pilgrimage. It was here that St. Sophronius of Jerusalem was healed of an ophthalmy that had been declared incurable by the physicians (610-619), whereupon he wrote the panegyric of the two saints with a collection of seventy miracles worked in their sanctuary (Migne, P.G., LXXXVII, 3379-676)

Extractions: Gordon Moyer DERIVING THE ROTATIONAL TRANSFORMATION EQUATIONS FOR SPHERICAL POLAR COORDINATES FROM A MENELAUS FIGURE I hope to write a book detailing the history of a single problem in mathematics, the two thousand years in which mathematicians developed increasingly sophisticated ways of changing the coordinates of a point in one reference system into the coordinates of another. The title of my book might be From Ptolemy to Tensors: The History of Celestial Coordinate Transformations. Considering that coordinate conversions are usually not taught until the second half of a course in trigonometry, it comes as a surprise to many students that the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy showed how one could solve any kind of coordinate transformation in his Mathematical Syntaxis, commonly known as the Almagest, written around 150 A.D. How did Ptolemy do it? He used state-of-the-art mathematics for the First Century, a theorem discovered just a generation earlier by one of the most brilliant minds of the ancient world, Menelaus of Alexandria. Because of its usefulness in defining the directions of stars and planets in the sky, trigonometry first developed as a branch of astronomy; foremost among the astronomer-trigonometricians was Menelaus. His theorem revealed an intriguing relationship between parts of a four-sided configuration made up of two intersecting triangles inscribed on a sphere. During the Middle Ages, this figure came to be called the

Extractions: Helen's Husband Although the lunar crater Menelaus is named for a Greek astronomer in ancient Alexandria, I prefer to think instead of another Menelaus, the warrior husband of Helen of Troy. The lunar Menelaus is a 27 km wide, 2.6 km deep crater straddling the rim of the Serenitatis basin and the mare that fills the basin. If the mare really were an ocean of water, Menelaus would be the castle guarding this stretch of the coast. But the real interest here is the cluster of rilles just north of Menelaus. These Menelaus Rilles are in the older and darker annulus of Serenitatis lavas. There seem to be two families of rilles - first are the three to four strands of rilles that parallel the basin rim. These probably formed by cracking as the mare-heavy center of Serenitatis subsided. Nearly at right angle to these narrow rilles are two or three shorter rilles that are partially lines of collapse pits - see Lunar Orbiter image for details. KC's low sun image reveals that the western most of the rilles cuts thru the middle of a low dome. The ALPO dome map shows six possible domes in this region, but KC's great image renders that number questionable.
