Oxford University Press. 2013. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Underlining in pencil to some pages.; What significance does the voice or projected persona in which a text is written have for our understanding of the meaning of that text This volume explores the persona of the author in antiquity from Homer to late antiquity taking into account both Latin and Greek authors from a range of disciplines. The thirteen chapters are divided into two main sections the first of which focuses on the diverse forms of writing adopted by various ancient authors and the different ways these forms were used to present and project an authorial voice. The second part of the volume considers questions regarding authority and ascription in relation to the authorial voice. In particular it looks at how later readers - and later authors - may understand the authority of a text's author or supposed author. The volume contains chapters on pseudo-epigraphy and fictional letters as well as the use of texts as authoritative in philosophical schools and the ancient ascription of authorship to works of art.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 440 pages . 0199670560 .

ARISTOPHANES AND & WOMEN
Routledge. 1993. Hardcover. Good in Good dust jacket. Underlining in pencil and pen to a few pages. DJ is laminated.; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 256 pages; Working from the combined perspective of feminist literary theory and performance theory Lauren Taaffe takes an unprecedented look at the representation of women in the plays of Aristophanes. Her analysis of the relationship between ancient and contemporary theatrical representation and gender identity brings a new critical perspective to Aristophanic studies. Taaffe discusses the portrayal of women in all of Aristophanes' extant plays but focuses on Lysistrata Thesmophoriazusae and Ecclesiazusae. Her main contention is that Aristophanes' representation of women draws upon the ancient Greek construction of femininity as being inherently artificial and deceptive--a construction of femininity that is directly related to the convention of male actors playing female roles. . 041509514X .

Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 334 pages; One of the major scholars of the 1920s and 30s concerned with the origins of Greek drama Sir Arthur Pickard-Cambridge focused in particular on the evidence derived from archaeological finds and papyri. He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes. .

EURIPIDEA
E. J. Brill. 1994. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Underlining in pencil to a few pages.; This work contains material to supplement volume one of the author's "Loeb Euripides". It consists of two parts: Testimonia Vitae et Artis Selecta and Textual Discussions. The Testimonia ancient notes about the life of Euripides and his career as a tragic poet are printed together with a facing English translation. The Loeb introduction examines this material critically. Equipped with this body of evidence students of Greek tragedy and of ancient biography will be able to assess for themselves the reliability of the biographical tradition in which the author argues too much confidence has been placed by interpreters of plays. The Textual Discussions explain places in the plays of volume one "Cyclops" "Alcestis" and "Medea" where the text adopted by the editor calls for comment.; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 181 pages . 9004099263 .

Underlining in pencil to a couple of pages.; Mnemosyne Supplements 314; 580 pages; This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides’ fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and exciting development in Euripidean studies since it is only very recently that the fragmentary plays have begun to appear in reliable and readily accessible editions. The book’s thirty-two contributors constitute an international 'who’s who' of Euripidean studies and Athenian drama and their contributions will certainly feature in the forefront of scholarly discourse on Euripides and Greek drama for years to come. . 9004174737 .

Bassi, Karen & Peter J Euben & Carla Antonaccio & Noriko Aso & P JBrendese & Peter Burian & Diskin Clay & Carol Dougherty & J Pe
WHEN WORLDS ELIDE; Classics Politics Culture
Lexington Books. 2010. Softcover. Fine. For better or worse the ancient Greeks retain their cultural political and philosophical authority for contemporary educators and actors. Maureen Dowd has talked about the Hellenization of the Bush administration Thucydides has been used as a template to analyze the Iraqi War and the War on Terror Greek drama has been repeatedly performed in sometimes spectacular if unconventional ways while the Trojan War the battle of Thermopylae the Spartans and Alexander have all been the subjects of recent films. Last year the New York Times carried a front page story about "conservatives" taking a "new tack" by establishing "beachheads" for programs in Western Civilization and American Institutions in which the ancient Greeks hold pride of place. The contributors to When Worlds Elide are also invested in having Greek philosophy literature and political theory taken seriously in contemporary debates-whether over modes of interpreting Plato Athenian democracy gender ethnicity or materiality. What distinguishes this book is the substantive range of the essays in it and the generative potentialities of "using" ancient authors and events in analyzing these debates. It begins from the premise that "the Greeks" like "the French" or "the Chinese" obscures the contested histories of ethnic geographic and political formations in favor of an idealized dehistoricized collectivity. The also book also illustrates the ways in which ancient texts must be understood within the history of interpretative practices which means that "the Greeks" are more a moving target than a stable entity and that each generation of interlocutors formulates continually transforming questions readings and arguments. Finally this book supposes that an interrogation of "the Greek legacy" depends on interdisciplinary work where interdisciplinarity functions as a verb-that is something that is always in the process of being achieved.; Greek Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches; 152.4 X 0.99 X 9 inches; 490 pages . 0739122754 .

Krostenko, Brian A
CICERO CATULLUS AND THE LANGUAGE OF SOCIAL PERFORMANCE
University Of Chicago Press. 2001. Softcover. Near Fine. Very light shelfwear.; Charm wit and style were critical but dangerous ingredients in the social repertoire of the Roman elite. Their use drew special attention but also exposed one to potential ridicule or rejection for valuing style over substance. Brian A. Krostenko explores the complexities and ambiguities of charm wit and style in Roman literature of the late Republic by tracking the origins development and use of the terms that described them which he calls "the language of social performance." As Krostenko demonstrates a key feature of this language is its capacity to express both approval and disdain—an artifact of its origins at a time when the "style" and "charm" of imported Greek cultural practices were greeted with both enthusiasm and hostility. Cicero played on that ambiguity for example by chastising lepidus "fine" boys in the "Second Oration against Catiline" as degenerates then arguing in his De Oratore that the successful speaker must have a certain charming lepos "wit". Catullus in turn exploited and inverted the political subtexts of this language for innovative poetic and erotic idioms.; 336 pages . 0226454444 . University Of Chicago Press paperback

Snowden, Jr , Frank M
BLACKS IN ANTIQUITY; Ethiopians in the Greco-Roman Experience
Belknap Press of Harvard University Press. 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Good dust jacket. Minor pencilling to a few pages. Light shelfwear to book. DJ has chipping and a few tears. DJ spine is sunned.; Xxii 364pp illustrated. The Africans who came to ancient Greece and Italy participated in an important chapter of classical history. Although evidence indicated that the alien dark- and black-skinned people were of varied tribal and geographic origins the Greeks and Romans classified many of them as Ethiopians. In an effort to determine the role of black people in ancient civilization Mr. Snowden examines a broad span of Greco-Roman experience--from the Homeric era to the age of Justinian--focusing his attention on the Ethiopians as they were known to the Greeks and Romans. The author dispels unwarranted generalizations about the Ethiopians contending that classical references to them were neither glorifications of a mysterious people nor caricatures of rare creatures. Mr. Snowden has probed literary epigraphical papyrological numismatic and archaeological sources and has considered modern anthropological and sociological findings on pertinent racial and intercultural problems. He has drawn directly upon the widely scattered literary evidence of classical and early Christian writers and has synthesized extensive and diverse material. Along with invaluable reference notes Mr. Snowden has included over 140 illustrations which depict the Negro as the Greeks and Romans conceived of him in mythology and religion and observed him in a number of occupations--as servant diplomat warrior athlete and performer among others. Presenting an exceptionally comprehensive historical description of the first major encounter of Europeans with dark and black Africans Mr. Snowden found that the black man in a predominantly white society was neither romanticized nor scorned--that the Ethiopian in classical antiquity was considered by pagan and Christian without prejudice.; 364 pages . 0674076257 .

Henry, Madeleine Mary
PRISONER OF HISTORY; Aspasia of Miletus and Her Biographical Tradition
Oxford University Press. 1995. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. DJ has light shelfwear. Stapled offprint of book review tipped in.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 208 pages; According to legend Aspasia of Miletus was a courtesan the teacher of Socrates and the political adviser of her lover Pericles. Next to Sappho and Cleopatra she is the best known woman of the ancient Mediterranean. Yet continued uncritical reception of her depiction in Attic comedy and naive acceptance of Plutarch's account of her in his Life of Pericles prevent us from understanding who she was and what her contributions to Greek thought may have been. Madeleine Henry combines traditional philological and historical methods of analysis with feminist critical perspectives in order to trace the construction of Aspasia's biographical tradition from ancient times to the present. Through her analysis of both literary and political evidence Henry determines the ways in which Aspasia has become an icon of the sexually attractive and politically influential female how this construction has prevented her from taking her rightful place as a contributor to the philosophical enterprise and how continued belief in this icon has helped sexualize all women's intellectual achievements. This is the first work to study Aspasia's biographical tradition from ancient Greece to the present day. . 0195087127 . Oxford University Press hardcover
