Unclassical Traditions. Volume II: Perspectives from East and West in Late Antiquity is the second of two collections of essays by leading scholars discussing the nature and extent of the late-antique engagement with the classical past. Rather than concentrating on developments at the centre of empire (the focus of a previous volume, Unclassical Traditions I ), the aim here is to present a set of views from the margins: social, political, religious, literary, geographical and linguistic. Ranging from Armenian ecclesiastical histories, Egyptian alchemy and Jewish power politics, across the Mediterranean to the challenges raised by shifting circumstances in 5th-century North Africa and Ostrogothic Italy, the eight papers in this volume seek to establish the persistent importance of the classical tradition throughout a broadly defined late antiquity. Despite the divergent forms taken by these various responses, they are united by a common preoccupation with that still authoritative past. From these eastern and western perspectives - often peripheral and sometimes isolated - the classical past appears neither monolithic nor inflexible but as offering a set of assumptions or conventions that might be opposed or accepted, subverted or ignored or reworked into a striking variety of newly imagined worlds. Like its predecessor, this volume will be of interest to anyone concerned with the history, literature and culture of the later Roman empire. It stems from an international conference held in Cambridge in 2009, generously supported by the Faculty of Classics and the Henry Arthur Thomas Fund.

The entire first season of the popular sci-fi series. In 'Under the Night' space captain Dylan Hunt wakes up from a 300 year slumber to find that the universe has collapsed around him. 'An Affirming Flame' sees Dylan join forces with the crew of the Eureka Maru. 'To Loose the Fateful Lightning' has Dylan visit a station populated by ultra-powerful children. 'D Minus Zero' finds the spectre of mutiny threatening the command of the Andromeda. 'Double Helix' concerns a Nietzschean plot to manipulate Tyr into destroying the ship. In 'Angel Dark, Demon Bright' the Andromeda slips back in time to a period during the Nietzschean revolution. 'The Ties That Bind' sees the ship visited by Beka's con-artist brother. 'Banks of the Lethe' has Dylan meet his true love Sara for the first time in 300 years. 'A Rose in the Ashes' finds Dylan and Ronnie attempting to escape from a prison planet. 'All Great Neptune's Ocean' sees Tyr blamed for the assassination of a high-ranking water-breather on board the Andromeda. In 'The Pearls That Were His Eyes' Beka Valentine discovers that her uncle has become an ultra-rich business tycoon. 'The Mathematics of Tears' has the Andromeda meet its sister ship, the Pax Magellanic. 'Music of a Distant Drum' sees Tyr lose his memory when he crashes on an unknown planet. 'Harper 2.0' finds Harper in receipt of a mind-boggling transfer of information from a dying Perseid. In 'Forced Perspective' Dylan admits to an assassination committed 300 years ago. 'The Sum of Its Parts' has the crew receive a visit from a sweet-smelling robot who wants the Andromeda Ascendant to join its union of machines. 'Fear and Loathing in the Milky Way' sees Trance and Harper pursued by bounty hunters, assassins and gamblers when they meet up with their former boss again. 'The Devil Take the Hindmost' finds Rev Bem persuaded to help save the Serendipity settlement from being taken over by slavers. In 'The Honey Offering' Dylan puts the Andromeda Ascendant in danger when he agrees to transport a bride to a wedding. 'Star Crossed' sees Rommie fall in love with an android who has survived the destruction of his ship. 'It Makes a Lovely Light' has Beka jeopardise the safety of the whole crew when she takes a mind-altering drug. Finally, in 'Its Hour Come Round at Last', the Andromeda suffers some serious memory loss, meaning that she can no longer recognise Dylan and the other members of her current crew.
