520 |a Writing about Islam, Gibbon observed how ‘our education in the Greek and Latin schools may have fixed in our minds a standard of exclusive taste’. Contemporary scholars who still stand in that tradition, but are prepared to confront the late antique East, face a challenge of perspective. One thinks of J. H. W. G. Liebeschuetz and his threnodies for declining Hellenism. Another notable name is Fergus Millar. His aggressively positivist analyses of material (written and artistic) evidence for ‘the universal presence, and the dominating role, of the Greek language and of Greek culture, both pagan and Christian, throughout the period’ (p. 31) have attracted subtle qualification emphasizing complexity and fluidity (e.g. B. Shaw in Classical Philology 90 [1995], pp. 286–96).
