Nagy Gregory
THE BEST OF THE ACHAEANS Concepts of the Hero in Archaic Greek Poetry
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1979. Hardcover. 0801822009 . Foxing to textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Includes 3 page typed review of book inscribed to G. P. Goold from "John" tipped in. ; Despite widespread interest in the Greek hero as a cult figure little was written about the relationship between the cult practices and the portrayals of the hero in poetry. The first edition of The Best of the Achaeans bridged that gap raising new questions about what could be known or conjectured about Greek heroes. In this revised edition which features a new preface by the author Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent debate and resumes his discussion of the special status of heroes in ancient Greek life and poetry. His book remains an engaging introduction both to the concept of the hero in Hellenic civilization and to the poetic forms through which the hero is defined: the Iliad and Odyssey in particular and archaic Greek poetry in general. ; 414 pages .

Hunter Richard
THE ARGONAUTICA OF APOLLONIUS Literary Studies
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0521413729 . Light bumping to lower edge. Pencil marginalia to a couple of pages. Creasing and 1 chip along top edge of DJ. ; 216 pages; In recent years the subtlety and complexity of Apollonius' Argonautica have been better appreciated but in Dr Hunter's view the purposes and aesthetic of the epic are still not readily understood and much basic analysis remains to be done. The present book seeks to offer some of that analysis and to place the Argonautica within its social and intellectual context. A series of studies deal with notions of heroism; with eros and the suffering of Medea; the role of the divine; poetic voice and literary self-consciousness; and the Ptolemaic context of the poem. A pervasive theme of the book is Apollonius' creative engagement with Homer and a final chapter sketches out an approach to Virgil's use of Apollonius in the Aeneid. The Argonautica emerges as a brilliant and original experiment. This book is the only advanced study of the Argonautica currently available. All Greek is translated. .

Reid Jane Davidson & Chris Rohmann
THE OXFORD GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY IN THE ARTS 1300-1990S 2 VOLUME SET Volume I & Volume II
Oxford University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0195049985 . Scholar's name to ffeps Robert Brown. Else books are fine. ; Daring in concept and astonishing in scope The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts is a unique reference work: a topically classified chronology of more than 30000 artworks from circa 1300 to the present day that take as their theme the subjects of Greek and Roman mythology. In more than three hundred major entries alphabetically arranged by subject artworks are listed in chronological order delineating the history of artistic interest in the subject including painting sculpture music dance opera drama and literature over the last seven centuries. By bringing together information heretofore segregated by discipline time period or other constraint Jane Davidson Reid has created an invaluable tool for the study of the history of the arts in the Western world. Ranging from Achilles to Zeus entries cover all the important mythic beings of the classical world from gods goddesses and heroes to nymphs shepherds and satyrs. A headnote to each entry identifies the subject briefly describes relevant events and episodes recounted in Greek and Roman myths and explains thematic cross-currents represented in the list of artworks that follows. A list of classical literary sources follows the headnote. Each listing of an artwork includes the artist's name the title of the work and the date of its creation publication or first performance as appropriate. Also noted are the medium or genre of the work the present location of works in the fine arts and other pertinent information. Sources of data on each artwork appear in each listing. Enhanced by a comprehensive system of cross-references a complete list of the sources of data cited in the listings and an extensive artist index which will enable readers to locate works by a given artist across numerous entries this work presents its vast body of data in a way that is easily accessible to specialist and nonspecialist alike. No other work equals its interdisciplinary scope; no other work matches its usefulness to historians of the arts; and no other work possesses its appeal to scholars students and general readers interested in classical mythology and its enduring popularity in Western traditions of artistic expression. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE; Vol. 2020-01-02; 1344 pages; Overseas shipping may incur extra charges. .
