奥丑颈肠丑听Dionysius?
The journal is named for聽Dionysius the Areopagite, a sixth-century Neoplatonic mystic and theologian who claimed to have been converted by St. Paul when he preached in Athens. In fact, under his pseudonym, he conveys the philosophical, religious, and theological heritage of Hellenic antiquity into the Christian (and perhaps also the Islamic) world. He symbolizes the three-millennia-long tradition the journal treats.
Assuming many identities, Dionysius appeared also as the martyred bishop of Paris who became the patron saint of France. As聽St. Denys, he is often depicted holding his own head. According to legend, the martyr arose after his execution and carried his head for some distance: a suitable image for Classics in our time!
