- Notes:
David Konstan would surely have made a good mathematician, but late in his college career he was drawn to Greek and Latin, teaching himself Latin in the summer before his final year and taking elementary Greek and intermediate Latin in his senior year. That he was admitted to graduate school with so little preparation shows how much he had impressed his undergraduate teachers, one of whom was Moses Hadas, the chairman of the Classics Department.
In the course of his career, he also held twenty-five visiting positions, as well as serving on many editorial boards. Nobody can calculate how many letters of recommendation he wrote, each one carefully and sympathetically crafted to the applicant’s skill and plans. Nor can we know for sure in how many doctoral dissertations and other departmental and university committees he participated. All of this attests in a schematic way what those of us who knew him personally saw at first hand, that he was a fellow of seemingly infinite energy and enthusiasm, always ready to enjoy the company of and conversation with others over drinks or meals, whether senior scholars or students.
The bare outline of his scholarly curriculum vitae does not do justice to the depths and the range of Konstan’s life as a classicist. For one thing, his many fellowships allowed him the opportunity to travel widely, more so than merely to the usual centers of learning in North America and Europe. Fluent in Spanish, he spent much time not only in Spain itself but also in South Iberoamerica, where he established ties with students and scholars in Cuba, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. He also lectured and enjoyed stays in Africa (Zimbabwe, Egypt, South Africa, ad Nigeria) and Asia (China, Lebanon, the United Arabic Emirates, and Israel), as well as in Australia and New Zealand. Wherever he went he made friends. Statistics are invidious here, but it seems to me that the outpouring of sympathy and grieving that was expressed on various classics lists when his death was announced was as noteworthy for the expression of personal loss as for the loss to the profession of classics.
Worth pointing out is the extremely wide range of scholarly areas to which Konstan contributed. His second book, based on his dissertation (Steele Commager was his director), was on Catullus 64; his next book was on Roman comedy. He seemed well on the way to becoming a successful Latinist when he published another two books on the ancient novel and on Greek comedy. Yet his interest beyond Latin poetry had already manifested itself in his first book, Some Aspects of Epicurean Psychology, where he explored themes that lasted throughout his life, both on the philosophical, and specifically Epicurean, side and in human emotions, the latter of which occupied much of his later scholarship, resulting in many articles and books, from Pity Transformed in 2001 to The Origin of Sin: Greece and Rome, Early Judaism and Christianity in 2022. His major contributions here, though are the two most cited: Friendship in the Classical World (1997), which he wrote with the support of the Guggenheim Fellowship, and which was translated into Arabic, Portuguese, and Spanish; and The Emotions of the Ancient Greeks: Studies in Aristotle and Classical Literature (2006), which won the APA’s 2008 Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit.
Along the way, he found time also to translate some ancient commentators on Aristotle for Richard Sorabji’s series: two by Aspasius and a third by Simplicius on Aristotle’s Physics 6. And then there was his work on Greek novels, Heraclitus’s Homeric Problems, a book on ancient ideas of beauty (which was read by the general public), and a book (with Daria Resh), The Legends of Barbara and Katherine in the Greek Tradition. Many of his books and articles were collaborations with friend and it both pleases and saddens me that one of his last books was a Festschrift co-edited with me to honor a friend: Philodorema: Essays in Greek and Roman Philosophy in Honor of Phillip Mitsis.
