ENDNOTES
1
James Boyd White, When Words Lose Their Meaning (University of Chicago
Press, 1984), Ch. 3.
2
I do not want to turn the History into a morality play (e.g., by denying that the
Athenians at Melos have a real argument) or uncritically accept the notion of
Athenian decline. That Thucydides believed in it is one thing; that is was the
whole story is another.
3
See Gorgias, "Encomium on Helen" in Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers,
trans. Kathleen Freeman (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1948).
4
On Achilles’ response to the embassy in Book 9 of the Iliad, see Seth Schein,
The Mortal Hero.
5
See Vaclav Havel, "Living in Truth."
6
Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (New
York: Viking Press, 1964).
7
The argument is made by Danielle Allen.
8
Orlando Patterson, Slavery and Social Death (Cambridge: Harvard University
Press, 1982), pp. 6-7.
9
See the essays by Daniel Mendelsohn, "When Not in Greece," The New York
Review of Books, March 28, 2002; "The Wild Women of Greece," The New York Review of Books, May 5, 2000; and in The New Yorker, _____________, 2004.
10
In this she provides an element of justification to Odysseus’s urging that the
boy be killed.
11
I owe Diskin Clay an enormous debt in helping me appreciate the nuances of
the Greek. See his The Trojan Women of Euripides: Translation, Introduction, Notes and Appendices.
