Aeschylus; Alan H Sommerstein (Ed )
AESCHYLUS: EUMENIDES
Cambridge University Press. 1989. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor edgewear to DJ.; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 324 pages; Sommerstein presents a freshly constituted text with introduction and commentary of Eumenides the climactic play of the only surviving complete Greek tragic trilogy the Oresteia of Aeschylus. Of all Athenian tragic dramas Eumenides is most consciously designed to be relevant to the situation of the Athenian state at the time of its performance 458 B.C. and seems to have contained daring innovations both in technique and in ideas. The introduction and commentary to this edition seek to bring out how Aeschylus shaped to his purpose the legends he inherited and ended the tragic story of Agamemnon's family in a celebration of Athenian civic unity and justice. The commentary also pays attention to the linguistic metrical and textual problems to be encountered by the reader. . 0521240840 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Homer; R B Rutherford (Ed )
HOMER: ODYSSEY; Books XIX and XX
Cambridge University Press. 1992. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor shelfwear to DJ.; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 264 pages; The Odyssey besides being one of the world's first adventure stories is a poem of great subtlety rich in irony and sophisticated characterization. The poet's art is amply illustrated by books XIX and XX in which Odysseus disguised as a beggar spends the night in his own palace and lays plans for his awesome revenge. Particularly memorable is the episode in which Penelope converses with her husband without suspecting his identity. In this edition Richard Rutherford provides not only detailed comment on the action characterization and style of the books in question but also in an extensive introduction a general survey of the Odyssey as a whole laying special emphasis on the qualities of the second half of the poem. He also attempts to contribute to the literary criticism of the poem on a verbal level by considering the poet's use of formulae rhetorical technique and similes. This volume is intended for readers of the Odyssey at all stages. The commentary gives extensive linguistic guidance for beginners; and the introduction in which all Greek is translated is intended to be accessible to any readers interested in Homer as a poet. . 0521345170 .

REDEEMING THE TEXT; Latin Poetry and the Hermeneutics of Reception
Cambridge University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Minor shelfwear. Light bump to 1 corner.; This book applies some of the procedures of modern critical theory to the interpretation of Latin poetry. The author argues for an approach that sees the meaning of a text as always and necessarily involved in the process of "reception" that is the way it has been read and interpreted from the time of its composition down to the present day. A study of its reception-history facilitates novel and more profitable ways of reading. He illustrates his approach with exemplary readings of Virgil Ovid Horace and Lucan.; Roman Literature And Its Contexts; 8.1 X 5.3 X 0.6 inches; 135 pages . 0521417171 .

Paul, George MacKay & Michael Ierardi (eds)
ROMAN COINS AND PUBLIC LIFE UNDER THE EMPIRE; E. Togo Salmon Papers II
University of Michigan Press. 1999. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 0.72 x 9.48 x 6.2 Inches; 216 pages; Roman coins often shed light on Roman public life and society through the legends portraits and images they bear. The papers collected in this volume were originally presented at the Second E. Togo Salmon Conference on Roman Studies. The eight contributors are specialists in Roman coins or Roman history and in the relations between them. Coins are a unique source of information about the Roman world. In the case of the Roman Empire they were issued by or with the approval of the ruling power. The representations and legends they show therefore present an official view of contemporary affairs. The coins themselves minted for official purposes such as paying the army when studied carefully can help reconstruct official policies. They can also occasionally reveal what monuments now lost may have looked like. It is not infrequent to come across pleas that the ancient historian should make more frequent use of numismatic evidence. These essays make clear that efforts are being made both by numismatists and by historians to bring the two disciplines together. At the same time the papers reveal that the task is by no means a straightforward one. The survival of Roman coins is variable and so attempts to reconstruct the size and distribution of issues calls for skilled and experienced analysis. This collection of papers provides evidence for the kind of deductions that the historian may make from Roman coins as well as the illustrations of the pitfalls that await the unwary. Those interested in Roman history amateur coin collectors and professional numismatists will all find much here to widen their knowledge of the public context of Roman coins. Contributors: William E. Metcalf P. Bruun Barbara Levick R. P. Duncan-Jones Anthony Barrett Duncan Fishwick C. E. King Andrew Burnett. . 0472108751 . University of Michigan Press hardcover

Vergil designed it so that it might read in this way. This is one epic `voice' that he wished us to hear. But there are `further voices' and these may be disturbing even shocking as they add to comment upon question and occasionally subvert the implications of the epic voice. This is a detailed examination of Vergil's method of intruding such further voices. . 019814461X . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

Euripides; John Wilkins
EURIPIDES: HERACLIDAE; With Introduction and Commentary
Oxford Clarendon Press. 1993. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor shelfwear to DJ.; 240 pages; This edition and commentary provides an invaluable introduction to one of Euripides' less well-known plays and describes the enormous value of the text for our understanding of Athenian drama religion and society. Heraclidae is one of Euripides' "alphabetical" plays preserved exclusively in a Laurentian manuscript and therefore not selected in antiquity. Not even in modern times despite the excellent commentaries of Elmsley 1821 and Pearson 1907 and powerful articles by Wilamwitz has the play been given the prominence it deserves. This edition interprets the play in a wide cultural setting considering unorthodox aspects of the structure of the drama but placing particular emphasis on the cults and myths of Heracles in Attica on his apotheosis and marriage on his association with the young and most of all on the two most striking rituals in the play: the voluntary self-sacrifice of the daughter of Heracles and the conversion of Eurystheus from an enemy of Athens to a hero whose dead body will protect the city-state. The text is James Diggle's Oxford Classical Texts 1984. . 0198147589 . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

Mossman, Judith
WILD JUSTICE; A Study of Euripides' Hecuba
Oxford At the Clarendon Press. 1995. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor Shelfwear. Review of book by Marsh McCall tipped in signed by Mccall to Philippa Goold.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 283 pages; Euripides' Hecuba is is dominated by the vengence which Hecuba takes on the faithless Polymestor and explores in a complex and profound manner the potential of revenge as a subject for tragedy. The sacrifice of Polyxena is in counterpoint to the revenge action; the whole is set in the chaotic aftermath of the fall of Troy. The combination of plots creates one of Eruipides' most effective dramas full of pathos suspense and excitement. This the first book-length study of the play in English argues that it has been greatly undervalued by critics who have failed to appreciate the power of its rhetoric the subtlety of its characterization and the beauty of its choral odes. The book also examines and seeks to explain the powerful influence of Hecuba in the Renaissance and compares the play with English revenge tragedy of the 16th and 17th century. . 0198147899 .

SELECTED PAPERS; Studies in Greek and Roman History and Historiography
Cambridge University Press. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. Else minor shelfwear.; This volume contains a selection of the more important and influential of Professor F. W. Walbank's occasional papers.

Three deal with the role of nationality in the Greco-Roman world and with the constitutional character of Greek federal states. Others are concerned with problems of third- and second-century Roman history. Eight papers treat the antecedents of so-called 'tragic history' speeches in ancient historians and several aspects of Polybius' work. Finally the selection includes Professor Walbank's detailed discussion of the chronology of Ptolemy IV's death and the accession of Ptolemy Epiphanes. A full bibliography of the author's publications concludes the volume.; 400 pages . 052130752X . Cambridge University Press hardcover
