R. ELAINE FANTHAM
(May 25th 1933 – July 11th 2016)

From Alison Keith

R. Elaine Fantham, a giant in the field of classical scholarship and generous friend and mentor to generations of students and colleagues, died on Monday 11 July, in hospital in Toronto, at the age of 83. A member of the classics department at the University of Toronto, first at Trinity College from 1968 to 1986, and then again from 2000 to 2008 after her retirement from Princeton, Elaine was predeceased by her husband Peter, and is survived by her daughter Julia (grandchildren Peter, Alice, and Clare) and her son Roy (wife Jen and granddaughter Marley).

Born in Liverpool U.K. in May 1933, Elaine received her B.A. (first class in Literae Humaniores) and first graduate degree at Oxford University before returning to her home city as Leverhulme Research Fellow to earn her Ph.D. in 1965 with a dissertation on Plautus’ comedy Curculio, “The Boll-Weevil” (examined by R.G. Austin and O. Skutsch). Early training in the ways of roguery naturally equipped her for a meteoric rise in her chosen profession, and she held teaching posts all over the Anglo-American academy. She taught briefly at St Andrews University, as a fellow of St. Salvator’s College (1965-1966), before moving with her mathematician husband Peter to Indiana University in Bloomington. There she taught in the Department of Classics as a Visiting Lecturer (1966-1968), before moving again, in 1968, with their Scottish daughter and American son, to Toronto and Trinity College. There she taught for eighteen years, (Assistant to Associate Professor 1968-1978, Professor 1978-86), in a college department celebrated for its collegiality and scholarship. She was welcomed right from the start by Mary White, as well as by the other members of the classics contingent of that congenial college, including John Cole, Desmond Conacher, Alexander Dalzell, and George Grube. In retirement she returned to the college and was elected a Senior Fellow of Trinity College in September 2012.

During her professional years in Toronto, Elaine served on the editorial committee of Phoenix from 1976 to 1979; gave a series of papers across Canada on both the Atlantic and Western lecture tours sponsored by the Classical Association of Canada; and served as Vice-President of the Association from 1982-84, during which period she also served as Vice-President and then President of the Canadian Society for the History of Rhetoric (1983-1986). In 1996, she delivered the keynote lecture at the annual meeting of the CAC in St. Catharines, Ontario.

In addition to her valuable service to the Canadian academic community, Elaine was very active across North America, especially after moving to Princeton University in 1986, when she was appointed Giger Professor of Latin in the Department of Classics there. She enjoyed spells as a Visiting Professor of Classics at Ohio State University in Columbus OH (1983) and as Langford Visiting Professor at Florida State University in 2001; and in 1999-2000 she lectured for Phi Beta Kappa across the United States. She also contributed signal service to the American Philological Association, the largest professional classics association in the world, where she was an outstanding advocate for classical scholars and classics departments. She served as member, then chair, of the Goodwin Award Committee (1997-2000), and then, after her retirement from Princeton and return to Toronto in 2000, as President-Elect (2003) and President (2004) of the APA. In January 2009, she received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Philological Association in recognition of her superlative service to the profession.

After retiring from Princeton University in 2000, Elaine made her primary residence in Toronto, where her grown-up family lives, and she continued to make significant contributions to the research and teaching mission of the graduate Department of Classics at the University of Toronto, where she had established her career. In the early years of the new millennium, she took on supplementary graduate teaching for the Toronto department in a wide range of M.A. and Ph.D. courses. In addition, and much more importantly, she was closely involved from the start of her retirement in mentoring across the country and around the world – not only senior graduate and undergraduate students but also friends and colleagues. She offered us all a model of the very highest standard of professional activity and collegiality. Her commitment to the Department, her colleagues and students – not only nationally and internationally, but also locally and provincially – was particularly valuable in this period, when she also served as the Honorary President of the Classical Association of Canada (2001 to 2006) and delivered the Robson Classical Lectures at Victoria College, in the University of Toronto (Fall 2004). In May 2015 Elaine was honoured with the CAC Award of Merit, richly deserved.

Elaine continued to travel and lecture in the USA, Britain and Italy until recently, as she remained much in demand. Known both for the wide range and for the accessibility of her scholarship, Elaine was the grande dame of Latin studies in the English-speaking world, though it was not only amongst Anglo-American colleagues that she was celebrated. For her fluent Italian, German and French made her a very welcome guestspeaker throughout Europe as well. Outside of her home universities, Professor Fantham presented lectures and conference papers around the world—including in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Argentina, and Australia.

The author of seventeen books (including scholarly monographs, commentaries, editions and translations, and an omnibus of her selected articles) and over a hundred articles and book chapters, she also co-authored the standard textbook on women in antiquity and served as Associate Editor in Chief of the seven-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome (2010). Many of us encountered Latin literature through her scholarship – the comedies of Plautus and Terence in her first book Comparative Studies in Republican Latin Literature (Toronto 1972), the plays of Seneca and poetry of Lucan and Ovid in later commentaries (Princeton 1982; Cambridge 1992 and 1998) respectively), and of course her magisterial Roman Literary Culture from Cicero to Apuleius (Baltimore 1996), expanded in a second edition (2012) to cover Latin letters from Plautus to Macrobius. She was also the honorand of two edited collections, the first in a special issue of the Italian journal Materiali e Discussioni (Vol. 61, Pisa 2009) and the second in a volume in the Phoenix Supplementary Series (Vol. 55, Toronto 2016) in which she published her first book.

She herself said that she was drawn to the study of classics because of a glamorous ad for a tonic wine, which featured a handsome longhaired young man in a tunic, riding past the Acropolis in a chariot with an equally alluring young woman. Although the modern professoriate may have been something of a disappointment by comparison, there is no question that Elaine’s career was attended by glamour and acclaim. From 1996 on, she contributed short comments on classical topics to National Public Radio in the United States, where a select company of famous classicists has interested millions in the study of classical antiquity. Always generous with her time and attention to her chosen profession, Elaine gave a public and very human voice to our discipline as a commentator on NPR. (NPR has posted a sample on facebook)

Elaine was a valuable member of the classics community not only in her former departments but also in both her adoptive countries and on her adoptive continent for nearly fifty years, as a faculty member and staunchly supportive colleague, serving even in retirement as an active participant in the teaching and research mission of classical studies around the world. She provided a model of classical scholarship and personal engagement for generations of students, friends, and colleagues, and served as a warm and generous mentor to many in the profession.

Her generosity was a byword amongst her friends and former students, and her calendar even in retirement was always full of visits from colleagues, who took her out for concerts, cream teas and debauched dinners. A witty raconteur, loyal friend and brilliant cook, she remained excellent company to the end – on the radio, in the classroom, and over the dinner table. She will be sorely missed by everyone whose life she touched.

Ave atque vale – S.T.T.L.

From Mark Joyal

Elaine Fantham’s passing is a loss which members of the Classical Association of Canada feel deeply. Professor Fantham was a steadfast advocate of our Association and a reliable participant in all its activities from the time that she arrived in Canada nearly fifty years ago. Alison Keith’s memorial makes clear the breadth and depth of the contributions that she made to the CAC.

When she retired in 2000, Elaine was the obvious choice to become the Association’s Honorary President. She held this position from 2001 to 2006, and although its responsibilities are largely ceremonial, she was fully engaged in the business of CAC Council. She attended most fall and winter meetings during her tenure, also lending her warm presence and humour to Friday dinners the night before. Her interventions at the meetings themselves were always timely, concise and, characteristically, directed squarely at the heart of the matter. No president of the Association could fail to pause and reflect on the advice that she gave. At the same time, her international stature afforded her the opportunity to be an ambassador for the CAC and for Canadian Classics in general. Among other things, she promoted the Association’s journals to her colleagues abroad on her overseas visits.

The last time that many members of the CAC saw Elaine was in Toronto in May 2015, at our annual conference. It was a memorable occasion; those who were there to hear and see the tribute which Professor Keith gave to mark her Award of Merit will remember how moving it was, and how happy she was to receive the Award. Elaine’s personality, humane scholarship and remarkable industry, recognized so deservedly that day, will continue to stand as an example for us.

A NEW CANADIAN ONLINE PUBLISHING VENUE IN CLASSICAL STUDIES
UNE NOUVELLE SÉRIE CANADIENNE DE PUBLICATION EN LIGNE DÉVOUÉE AUX ÉTUDES CLASSIQUES

From Hans Beck

The Canadian journal Teiresias. Online Review and Bibliography of Boiotian Studies has recently launched a new supplementary series, Teiresias Supplements Online (TSO), an open access venue for the publication of high-end research in Classical Studies. The mission of the series is to foster research on Central Greece and its core region Boiotia. At the same time, the supplements have a wider geographical range, branching out into the history and culture of the Greek mainland and the Peloponnese, from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity.

Publications appear as peer-reviewed monographs or edited volumes, with extensive coverage of scholarship in Ancient History, Classical Philology, Archaeology, and Epigraphy. The series also invites submissions in related special disciplines such as, for instance, Historical Topography, Onomastics, Prosopography, or Environmental History.

The journal Teiresias continues to be distributed free of charge ever since its inception and, since 1991, has also been made available electronically. TSO is faithful to this spirit of knowledge advancement. The series makes a bold, pioneering move in the publication of specialized Humanities research. Maintaining the highest standard of peer-review, the supplement series reduces price barriers and delays in the production process, while allowing authors to maintain copyright over their intellectual output thanks to a CC-BY-NC license. This includes the upload of contributions to academic platforms such as academia.edu, if authors wish to do so. As open access supplements, the series embraces a sustainable publishing model that benefits researchers and their multiple audiences.

TSO now welcomes submissions of proposals. It offers a swift two-step reviewing process. A detailed proposal will be examined in the first instance by the international advisory board, and, if successful, the editors will welcome the submission of the whole manuscript for peer-reviewing. All inquiries and submissions should be directed to the series editors, Hans Beck (hans.beck@mcgill.ca) and Fabienne Marchand (fabienne.marchand@unifr.ch).

::::::::: ::::::: ::::: ::: ::::: ::::::: :::::::::

Le périodique canadien Teiresias. Online Review and Bibliography of Boiotian Studies a récemment inauguré une série de suppléments en open access, Teiresias Supplements Online (TSO), destinée à la publication de recherche de pointe dans le domaine des études classiques. La mission de cette série est de promouvoir la recherche scientifique sur la Grèce centrale et la Béotie en particulier, tout en maintenant un intérêt géographique plus large englobant l’histoire et la culture de la Grèce continentale et du Péloponnèse, de l’Age du Bronze à l’Antiquité tardive.

Les publications prennent la forme de monographies et de volumes édités préalablement approuvés par un comité scientifique (“peer-reviewed”) dans les disciplines de l’histoire ancienne, la philologie classique, l’archéologie et l’épigraphie, de même que dans des domaines proches, telles la topographie historique, l’onomastique, la proposographie ou l’histoire environnementale.

Le périodique Teiresias dès sa création n’a cessé d’être distribué gratuitement, et dès 1991 a été diffusé sous forme électronique. TSO reste fidèle à ces principes fondateurs, et poursuit une approche pionnière dans le domaine de la recherche spécialisée en sciences humaines. Tout en maintenant les plus hauts standards propres à une revue à comité de lecture, la série ambitionne de réduire les coûts et les délais de publication. Elle permet également à ses auteurs de conserver le copyright de leur propriété intellectuelle grâce à une licence CC-BY-NC, et ainsi de mettre, s’ils le souhaitent, leur travail en ligne sur d’autres plateformes telles academia.edu. Avec ces suppléments en open access TSO adopte un modèle de publication durable qui bénéficiera tant aux chercheurs qu’à leurs diverses audiences.

TSO accepte maintenant les soumissions de projets de publication. Un processus rapide en deux étapes est offert: dans un premier temps le projet est examiné par le comité scientifique de la série, puis, s’il est approuvé, le manuscrit complet pourra être soumis afin d’être évalué par des pairs. Les questions et projets peuvent être adressés aux éditeurs de la série, Hans Beck (hans.beck@mcgill.ca) et Fabienne Marchand (fabienne.marchand@unifr.ch).
