- W4318035621 abstract "This article uncovers the knowledge practices that undergird ancient Greek paradoxography, focusing on the pseudo-Aristotelian On Marvelous Things Heard. Paradoxographers reconfigured time-honoured myth traditions—a powerful form of collective wisdom—into scientific data that could subsequently be scrutinized, classified, and refashioned for various purposes. Despite this classificatory ethos, paradoxographers attempted to retain the marvelous aspects of these ancient traditions. What ultimately defines paradoxographical discourse is the concurrence of Aristotelian and Homeric impulses: that is, the scholarly aim of gathering and systematizing myriad local myths and customs, on the one hand, and the preservation and continued fascination of marvels, on the other. I compare Greek paradoxography to the Chinese Shan hai jing (a coeval compendium of marvels) to highlight the evidentiary limitations of the Greek materials as well as the epistemic status of wonders in Greek paradoxography." @default.
