Subject: Odysseus in need of directions

Can anyone give me an e-mail (INTERNET, I hope) address for Aristotle
University at Thessalonika? A colleague headed there on a Fullbright
wants to find a path by which his wife can write him while he's there.

Many thanks.

I'm desperately looking for an essay by Ranier Maria Rilke entitled "On Dolls."
The person who loaned me his book has gone on leave and I can't remember the
volume it was in.

Yours sincerely,

Subject: source of an aphorism about translations

Can anyone provide me with a source of an apochryphal (not to say male
chauvanist) French aphorism to the effect that "Translations are like
women: the ones that are beautiful are not faithful and the ones that are
faithful are not beautiful"? I recall seeing it somewhere in an essay on
ethnographic authority, but can't recall where.

Subject: address query

The last Humanities Computing Yearbook gives (page 409) the following email add
ress for R. Cannon and R. Oakman (Dept of Comp. Science, Univ. of South Caroli
na): CANNON at USCEAST.UUNET

But the message I sent come back to me as undeliverable. Does anyone know if th
e email address of those people has changed? If someone know a correct address,
could I get it at my own address? Thank you.

Subject: Rilke's "dolls"

RE: Sarah Higley's question about Rilke's "Dolls".

"Dolls" is not considered an essay. It is an 7 or 8 pages fragment in
prose written before the first world war about Lotte Pritzel's wax
dolls. It will be easily found in Rilke: Auswahl in zwei bande, vol.II,
Prose, Leipzig: Insel-Verlag; I have not checked but it is supposed to
be in Ernst Zinn edition (Samtliche Werke, Insel, 1959), volume V.

Subject: Query: Night wanderers

In Plato's _Cratylus_ (433 A) the following reference is made by Socrates:
"Let us, then, grant this, my friend, or we shall get into trouble, like the
belated night wanderers in the road at Aegina, and in very truth we shall be
found to have arrived too late" (Fowler trans., LCL ed.). Fowler says,
"This seems to refer to some story unknown to us". Does anyone have a clue
as to who "hoi en Aigine nyktor periiontes opse hodou" might be?

Subject: Querry on Memorization

A medievalist colleague is looking for examples of people engaged in
memorizing or talking about memorizing such things as the Pater Noster,
Creed, Psalter, or Bible, in the Middle Ages, any country. If you
write directly to me, Malcolm Hayward, MHayward@IUP.Bitnet or
MHayward@grove.iup.edu I'll pass the message to her. Thanks.
