  This book pays homage to Vibeke Roggen, Associate Professor of Latin at the University of Oslo, who has been a driving force and guiding spirit of classical culture in Norway. On the occasion of her retirement in 2022, national and international colleagues as well as former students joined forces to acknowledge her commitment to Classics by contributing to this Festschrift. It is dedicated to Vibeke Roggen in gratitude and admiration for the inexhaustible energy, enthusiasm and generosity with which she has promoted the study of Latin and classical culture over the last few decades. Divided in four main thematic sections ("Verba et voces", "Studia Neolatina", "Miscellanea litteraria et historica", and "Paedogogica"), the book contains contributions in Norwegian, Danish, English, German, Latin, and Spanish. Contributors include Tor Egil Førland, Mari Brenna Volland, Siri Sande, Silvio Bär, Anastasia Maravela, Giuliano Sidro, Monika Asztalos, Boris Maslov, Milena Minkova, Han Lamers, Egil Kraggerud, Pieta van Beek, Andreas Fritsch, William M.

  Nils Berg's hypothesis of a proto-hexameter, being the combination of a glyconic and a pherecratean with variants, gives new perspectives for further research on the Homeric language. This paper discusses the metrical aspects of the proto-hexameter hypothesis, shows its explanatory force in questions concerning Homer's artificial forms, and points out areas where further study is needed.

  This thesis tackles the question of syntactic sentence structure and word order in Ancient Greek. More specifically, if focuses on the use of split phrases (hyperbaton) in a medical text by the physician and medical writer Galen (ca. 129-ca.216 AD). The functions of various types of split phrases are investigated in order to establish the full range of uses of this phenomenon. The fact that the Ancient Greek language allows words which cohere tightly with each other to be split by other words within a sentence has been a topic of great interest to linguists, not least because splitting corresponding phrases in e.g. Norwegian or English renders the sentence completely ungrammatical. The survey of the various functions of split phrases in Galen's medical text shows that they are primarily used in order to signal the information status of the component parts of the phrase. The functions detected in the text are integrated into a general theory of information structure. Thus, it emerges that word order variations correspond closely to intonational variations in e.g. Norwegian. The thesis confirms that the use of split phrases still fulfills a specific function in the language of Galen. This is an important find which may have repercussions for the study of other texts from the same period. While it has been suspected for a long time that word order and information structure were closely connected in Ancient Greek, this thesis is among the few that aim to take the implications of this connection for the question of the syntactic structure of Greek seriously. Several approaches to Greek syntax are discussed and it is concluded that there is basically no need to assume a hierarchical syntactic structure similar to the one generally assumed for English. As far as the theory of Universal Grammar is concerned, this implies that hierarchical sentence structure should be argued for rather than assumed from the beginning. The findings of the thesis extend our knowledge of the word order preferences in post-classical Greek and may be of use for comparisons between classical and post-classical Greek. The thesis also aims to take part in the general linguistic discussion by arguing that order may exist without structure.
