Bibliografia słowników z językiem łacińskim za lata 1964–1989 w układzie chronologicznym(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Wojan, KatarzynaThe article contains a list of 259 lexicographical items (each including Latin language), published in Poland during the years 1964–1989 (the period of the so-called state patronage). The bibliography, composed in chronological order. The material in question has been excerpted and catalogued on the basis of bibliographical sources, scientific publications, publishing and library catalogues, available at the time. The fact that so much bibliographical material has been collected proves that for publishers, Latin is still a prestigious language, which enjoys a high scientific and academic status. The bibliography exemplifies editorial dynamics and welcoming attitude towards Latin language on the part of national publishers and scientific centers.Item Satyryczna uczta Firmusa. Igrzysko Leopolda Staffa na tle antycznego sympozjonu(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Szczot, MonikaThe article is the interpretation of the drama Igrzysko by Leopold Staff which had its premiere in Lwów in 1909. The analysis refers to the literary presentation of Ancient symposion mainly The Dinner with Trimalchio by Petronius, succesfully imitated by Staff.Item The hero and his mothers in Seneca’s Hercules Furens(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Stróżyński, MateuszThe article deals with an image of the heroic self in Seneca’s Hercules as well as with maternal images (Alcmena, Juno and Megara), using psychoanalytic methodology involving identification of complementary self-object relationships. Hercules’ self seems to be construed mainly in an omnipotent, narcissistic fashion, whereas the three images of mothers reflect show the interaction between love and aggression in the play.Item Agryppa, Marcellus i pierścień Augusta. Kilka uwag na temat fragmentu Historii rzymskiej Kasjusza Diona (53, 30, 1–2)(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Sawiński, PawełIn the article I make an interpretation of one of the fragments of The Roman History by Cassius Dio, refering to Augustus` illness in 23. I am trying to answer a question how the fact of handing over a personal ring to Agrippa by Augustus should be understood and, more than that, whether we can perceive Marcellus, emperor`s nephew and son-in-law as his planned successor. I am also touching the problem of the alleged rivalry between Agrippa and Marcellus, which was mentioned by ancient authors.Item Evil Goddesses, Flawed Heroes. Divine Wrath and Human Error in Seneca’s Hercules furens and Phaedra.(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Pypłacz, JoannaThe present article discusses the relationship between deities and human beings in Seneca’s tragedies. Only in two of them – Hercules furens and Phaedra – do gods significantly influence the plot. Holding personal grudges against the main characters of these plays, the goddesses Juno and Venus set out to destroy Hercules and Hippolytus respectively by exploiting significant flaws in their characters.Item Wizerunek Seneki w tragedii Oktawia i w Rocznikach Tacyta(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Pigoń, JakubThe paper examines the representation of Seneca in two literary works of the late 1st and early 2nd cent. AD, the anonymous tragedy Octavia and the Annals by Tacitus. In the Octavia Seneca appears as the emperor Nero’s upright but unhappy teacher trying in vain to inculcate salutary advice to his master. There is no question of his being responsible for the crimes of Nero; the picture of him drawn in the play is wholly favourable. The portrayal of Seneca in Tacitus’ Annals is more complex and nuanced, and only seldom the historian gives his own views about Nero’s advisor. However, it would be wrong to suppose that Seneca is harshly criticised by Tacitus.Item Hipolit Cegielski jako filolog klasyczny – przypomnienie z okazji dwusetnej rocznicy urodzin (6 I 1813)(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Lewandowski, IgnacyThe article presents Hipolit Cegielski and his generous contribution to the Wielkopolska region’s spiritual and material culture; it also highlights Cegielski’s education and research and educational activity in the realm of classical philology.Item Hymnische Elemente in der Visio Dorothei(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Lasek, AnnaMy paper argues that one can find hymnic elements in the poem known as The Vision of Dorotheos. I have chosen two such passages (102–105; 170–177) for my analysis. Moreover, i have discussed in a more detailed way the presence of ancient hymnic traditions as well as its use in the poem under review. I have offered also a possible interpretation of the analysed passages.Item On the question of knowledge and blindness in Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus.(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Grelka, MaciejThe article presents comments on the question of knowledge and blindness in Sophocles’ Oedypus Tyrannus. The author suggests that part of the lexical data may support the hypothesis of Parmenidean inspiration of the tragedy. He claims that it is reasonable when Oedipus charges Teiresias and Creon of conspiracy. He also suggests that Oedipus’ loss of eyes on one hand and the king’s other experiences on the other move him away from the category of human beings to the borderland between the worlds of the mortals, the dead and the world of divinity. The author of the article also claims that among various interpretations of the tragedy, the knowledgeoriented one seems to find the most support in lexical data.Item Iram dixerunt brevem insaniam, czyli o gniewie jako szaleństwie w dialogu De ira Seneki Młodszego(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Budzanowska, DominikaLucius Annaeus Seneca, one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Rome, described affect of anger in his dialogue De ira (On Anger).

Insane and person, who is angry, behave the same and must be cured immediately.Item Deixis w scenie wstępnej Króla Edypa i jej funkcje(Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk, 2013-06-30) Berger, ŁukaszThe article reviews the introductory scene of Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus in search of deictic reference.
