Tales of Imitation: Palamedes, the Cranes, and Interspecies Learning in Greco-Roman Antiquity

Abstract Building upon new perspectives opened up by human-animal studies in the investigation of the Greco-Roman world, this article focuses on the cultural representation of interspecies learning in Greco-Roman sources. In particular, this study analyzes one of the foundational events of human culture in most societies: the introduction of the alphabet and writing. Among the many texts describing its origins, a few involve an enigmatic encounter between several flying cranes and the Greek hero Palamedes. This article considers the literary evidence regarding Palamedes and the cranes. It deals with folktales and anecdotes, illustrating how humans can learn from animals within the broader context of the transmission of knowledge in Greco-Roman antiquity. A thorough investigation of the ancient cultural encyclopedia will show why cranes could be regarded as teachers of the Greek hero. At the end of this study, it will be possible to identify precisely the constitutive forms of the letters that according to ancient Greek texts Palamedes could have observed by paying attention to the flight arrangements of cranes.

This article seeks to understand the uses that the Methodist community in Mexico gave to the knowledge of psychology. Throughout the investigation, it is shown how this new field of knowledge was already present in the contexts of education for pastors, already in education for women. Psychological language became a fundamental resource for the establishment of new forms of bonding with people. It was even believed that psychology could be used to make conversions more effective. The treatment we offer to achieve our objective consists of the development of three sections: in the first, “Psychology in the Methodist imaginary”, we seek to establish the adjudication that the Methodist community made of a psi cultural encyclopedia. In the second, “Interests in psychology” we present, as an introduction, the way in which psychology was used mainly for two issues: to support the idea of the superiority of the soul over the body and psychology as a resource for educational effectiveness. In the last section, “Psychological institution and architectural spaces”, the position that the teaching staff of the Methodist community granted to psychology and the spaces in which this field was introduced is disclosed.

To this day, high school and college students rarely learn about the role of women in American history, cultures, or politics. Teachers and textbooks still focus predominantly on the white Christian heterosexual males that continue to take most of the credit for building the United States of America. While it is fact that, for most of American history, only white men could own land, vote, and serve in government, women of all races, religions, and sexual orientations have done a great deal to advance American culture, fight for justice, and impact the laws, businesses, scientific research, and education systems that have developed in the United States over time.

From the genesis of the concept of manifest destiny in the 1840s, through the attainment of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii in 1959, and up to the present day as the world’s lone superpower, the locomotive that is our nation has barreled down the twin rails of physical growth and world influence. Powerful, but not omnipotent, America has also learned some hard lessons in playing the role of global policeman.

“Where the Body Is, There also the Eagles Will Be Gathered”

This article proposes a new reading of the Lukan eagle logion. The interpretation depends on three primary exegetical commitments. First, it respects Luke’s redaction and, thus, resists the temptation to harmonize Luke’s version of the logion with its Matthean counterpart (Matt. 24:28), which places this saying within his apocalyptic discourse in Matthew 24 and has the eagles gathering around a corpse (τὸ πτῶμα). Luke, by contrast, locates the saying within his so-called travel narrative, in the immediate context of a direct address by Jesus to his disciples, and places the eagles around a body (τὸ σῶμα). Second, since regarding Lukan redaction requires a reader to appreciate the narrative context of the saying, it is necessary to respect that the logion occurs in an address by Jesus to his disciples and as an answer to their question. Third, I reconsider the most likely resonances of ἀετοί gathered around a body within the context of Luke’s Gospel and its cultural encyclopedia. The article contends that the “eagles” correspond to hostile, capturing forces—as they are frequently represented in Jewish literature—and that the “body” corresponds to Jesus himself—as in the five occurrences of the term following Luke 17. Thus Jesus warns his disciples of an impending division among them, and when they ask where this division will occur, he answers with a parabolic prophecy that foreshadows the night of his arrest. The article concludes with a remark on the significance of this reading for the larger question of Lukan eschatology.
