26The Aesthetics of Mimesis: Ancient Texts and Modern ProblemsPrinceton University Press. 2002.Mimesis is one of the oldest, most fundamental concepts in Western aesthetics. This book offers a new, searching treatment of its long history at the center of theories of representational art: above all, in the highly influential writings of Plato and Aristotle, but also in later Greco-Roman philosophy and criticism, and subsequently in many areas of aesthetic controversy from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. Combining classical scholarship, philosophical analysis, and the history of i…Read more

17The subjection of muthos to logos: Plato's citations of the poetsClassical Quarterly 50 (1): 94-112. 2000.According to Aristotle, Metaphysics 2.3, 995a7–8, there are people who will take seriously the arguments of a speaker only if a poet can be cited as a ‘witness’ in support of them.

15A neglected detail in the "Oedipus Tyrannus": where three roads meetJournal of Hellenic Studies 106 187-190. 1986.‘There is surely more than geography involved in the extraordinary stress laid in the play on the importance of the branching road.’ So writes the latest editor of Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus, R. D. Dawe, who proceeds to mention the ‘sexual significance … ’ which ‘people tell us’ is to be discerned behind the references to the cross-roads where Oedipus met and killed his father.
