L'étiologie dans la pensée antique
Bibliographic record
Abstract
What did etiology mean to the ancients? A search for causes, an explanation, a history of origins. Greek and Roman authors thus created many sorts of narrations to explain the original meaning and value of various objects, be they institutions, rites, customs, monuments, toponyms, or even arts, such as that of rhetoric. Until now however, modern scholars have concentrated upon etiology in religion and poetry. An up-to-date synthesis of its role and function in ancient thought is lacking. The present volume assembles the viewpoints of specialists of different genres and fields; it is meant to nourish debate by complementary contributions. Although etiology in religion and poetry maintains pride of place, it is also considered in new areas: historiography, the origin of names and the origins of rhetoric, praise, chorography and sophistic. Over and above the diversity of the specific themes, there is convergence of method: precise source criticism, and attention to the political, intellectual, religious, and social contexts. The twenty-two studies which make up this volume throw light upon the complexity of the mechanisms of etiology and its essential role in ancient thought. This volume results from a colloquium organized by the Center for the Analysis of the Religious Rhetorics of Antiquity (CARRA) of the University of Strasbourg, in collaboration with the Center for Ancient Studies of Laval University - Québec. En quoi consiste l’étiologie pour les Anciens? A rechercher des causes, à expliquer, à remonter jusqu’à l’origine. Les Grecs et les Romains ont ainsi forgé toutes sortes de récits destinés à expliquer la signification et la valeur originelles de choses diverses, qu’il s’agisse d’institutions, de rites, de coutumes, de monuments, de toponymes, mais aussi d’arts, tel celui de la rhétorique. Mais les études modernes ont privilégié jusqu’à présent l’étiologie religieuse et les poètes. C’est en vain qu’on chercherait une synthèse moderne sur le rôle et la fonction de l’étiologie dans la pensée antique. Le présent volume réunit des contributions de spécialistes de genres et d’horizons différents, destinées à enrichir le débat par des apports réciproques. Si l’étiologie religieuse et les poètes y occupent la place attendue, il est largement question de domaines autres : historiographie, origine des noms et origines de la rhétorique, éloge, chorographie, sophistique. Au-delà de la diversité des thèmes abordés, on observera une convergence des méthodes : analyse précise des sources, attention portée au contexte politique, intellectuel, religieux et social. Les vingt-deux études contenues dans ce recueil éclairent la complexité du mécanisme de l’étiologie et son importance capitale dans la pensée antique. Ce volume est issu du colloque organisé par le Centre d’ Analyse des Rhétoriques et Religieuses de l’Antiquité (CARRA) de l’Université Marc Bloch - Strasbourg II, en collaboration avec le Centre des Etudes Anciennes de l’Université Laval - Québec.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
