Orestes has returned to Argos, . For him to brandish at his father's murderers is natural there, where he is delivering a sort of general manifesto as to his aims, and where the strong word is justified and alleviated by the jingle with juxtaposed . But there is no reason for Orestes to go on insisting on the bloodthirstiness of these aims, and reads oddly in 100, where he is explaining soberly his plan of campaign.

RésuméDans cet article, l'auteur discute les principes qui ont guidé M. Gonseth dans ses recherches sur la géométrie et le problème de l'espace. M. Gonseth défend la thèse selon laquelle avant de tenter de résoudre le problème de la géométrie, on doit disposer des facultés d'intuition, de déduction et d'une connaissance expérimentale de l'espace.M. Tummers a publié trois brochures sur la géométrie: 1. De Opbouw der Meetkunde ; 2. De Meetkunde en de Ervaring ; 3. Wijsgerige Verantwoording van het Paralelenpostulaat (...) . Il défend la thèse selon laquelle une science dont toute expérience serait bannie ne pourrait pas exister. Dans la troisième de ces brochures, il montre que la proposition des parallèles n'est pas une thèse qui peut ětre déduite, mais un véritable postulat. L'auteur suppose dans sa recherche — exactement comme M. Gonseth — l'expérience ainsi que les facultés d'intuition et de déduction.L'auteur conclut que M. Gonseth, lorsqu'il montre que l'expérience et les facultés d'intuition et de déduction sont indispensables pour la construction de la géométrie, a prouvé une thèse d'une importance fondamentale. L'auteur essaye de construire une géométrie abstraite, mais dirigée par l'expérience, alors que Hilbert introduit une géométrie entièrement abstraite, excluant l'expérience comme instrument de contrǒle.In this article the author discusses the principles leading Mr. Gonseth in his search of geometry and the problem of the space. The following books of Mr. Gonseth are consulted:I. La déduction préalable. II. Les trois aspects de la Géométrie. III. L'Edification axiomatique.Mr. Gonseth argues that—before attempting to solve the problem of geometry—we must avail ourselves of the faculties of intuition and deduction, and of an experimental knowledge of the space.The author Mr. Tummers has published three brochures on geometry:1° De Opbouw der Meetkunde 1941. 2° De Meetkunde en de Ervaring 1949. 3° Wijsgerige Verantwoording van het Paralelenpostulaat 1951.The author defends the thesis that a science from which experience is excluded cannot exist.In the third brochure the author demonstrates that the proposition of the parallels is not a thesis which can be deduced, but a true postulate. The author, exactly as Mr. Gonseth, supposes in his research the experience and the faculties of intuition and deduction.The author concludes that Mr. Gonseth, when defending that experience and the faculties of intuition and deduction are indispensable for the construction of geometry, proves a thesis of great and fundamental importance.The author tries to build up an abstract geometry but directed by experience, Hilbert introduces a geometry, entirely abstract, whereas excluding the experience as instrument of supervision.

The purpose of this note is to redirect attention to some of the literary evidence that concerns the site of Apollo's temple on the Palatine. For this evidence has an irritating habit of refusing to confirm what would otherwise be irrefutable archaeological proof of the temple's site. It is now fashionable to identify the site of the temple with that occupied by the temple-core that was originally assigned to Iuppiter Victor on the south-west angle of the Palatine in the region (...) of the Scalae Caci, the Temple of Magna Mater, the Casa Romuli, and the so-called House of Liuia. This was, in the view of most scholars, Euander's citadel that Virgil calls Pallanteum and this must be the site of the Augustan buildings. Now the House of Liuia has been identified with apparent probability as the House of Augustus, and we know from literary evidence that the temple of Apollo, Augustus' private house, and the house decreed to him by the senate must have been in close proximity to each other. The temple-core on the south-west of the Palatine is of Augustan date and is built over the remains of houses of the late republic1 which appear to have been demolished for the purpose. If Liuia's House was the house of Augustus then Iuppiter Victor's temple must be assigned to Apollo. (shrink)
