Some ink and pencil underlining and a few notes. ; This is the first in a series of volumes which together will provide an entirely new history of ancient Greek narrative literature.

It offers not only analyses of the handling of such a device by individual authors but also a larger historical perspective on the manner in which it changes over time and is put to different uses by different authors in different genres. The first volume lays the foundation for all volumes to come discussing the definition and boundaries of narrative and the roles of its producer the narrator and recipient the narratees. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 583 pages .

‎WHEN A GESTURE WAS EXPECTED A Selection of Examples from Archaic and Classical Greek Literature‎

‎Princeton University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0691002630 . Dustjacket has minor edgwear and faint creasing. ; 0.74 x 9.51 x 6.45 Inches; 176 pages; When a Gesture Was Expected encourages a deeper appreciation of ancient Greek poetry and prose by showing where a nod of the head or a wave of the hand can complete meaning in epic poetry and in tragedy comedy oratory and in works of history and philosophy. All these works anticipated performing readers and as a result they included prompts places where a gesture could complete a sentence or amplify or comment on the written words. In this radical and highly accessible book Alan Boegehold urges all readers to supplement the traditional avenues of classical philology with an awareness of the uses of nonverbal communication in Hellenic antiquity. This additional resource helps to explain some persistently confusing syntaxes and to make translations more accurate. It also imparts a living breath to these immortal texts. Where part of a work appears to be missing or the syntax is irregular or the words seem contradictory or perverse--without evidence of copyists' errors or physical damage--an ancient author may have been assuming that a performing reader would make the necessary clarifying gesture. Boegehold offers analyses of many such instances in selected passages ranging from Homer to Aeschylus to Plato. He also presents a review of sources of information about such gestures in antiquity as well as thirty illustrations some documenting millennia-long continuities in nonverbal communication. .

Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 248 pages; In Book XIV of the Metamorphoses Ovid takes his epic for the first time into Italy and continues from book XIII his close intertextual engagement with Virgil's Aeneid. His tendentious treatment of his model subordinates Virgil's epic plot to fantastic tales of metamorphosis including the erotic Italian tales of Circe Glaucus and Scylla and Picus and Canens. Other Roman myths include Pomona and Vertumnus as well as events from Romulus' reign. The deifications of Aeneas and Romulus anticipate the poem's closing episodes of imperial apotheosis. This new commentary provides guidance to advanced undergraduate and graduate students for understanding Ovid's language style artistry and allusive techniques. The introduction discusses the major structures themes and stylistic features of book XIV its place within the poem as a whole and Ovid's interpretive imitation of Virgil's Aeneid. .

‎THE DAILY LIFE OF THE GREEK GODS‎

‎Stanford University Press. Very Good. 2000. Softcover. 0804736146 . Very light corner creasing to first few pages. ; Despite the rousing stories of male heroism in battles the Trojan War transcended the activities of its human participants. For Homer it was the gods who conducted and accounted for what happened. In the first part of this book the authors find in Homer s Iliad material for exploring the everyday life of the Greek gods: what their bodies were made of and how they were nourished the organization of their society and the sort of life they led both in Olympus and in the human world. The gods are divided in their human nature: at once a fantasized model of infinite joys and an edifying example of engagement in the world they have loves festivities and quarrels. In the second part the authors show how citizens carried on everyday relations with the gods and those who would become the Olympians inviting them to reside with humans organized in cities. At the heart of rituals and of social life the gods were omnipresent: in sacrifices at meals in political assemblies in war in sexuality. In brief the authors show how the gods were indispensable to the everyday social organization of Greek cities. ; Mestizo Spaces; 0.71 x 8.5 x 5.56 Inches; 287 pages .

It is also my hope that this Reader will be a suitable textbook in a more advanced type of a course—we call them "author level courses" at the College of the Holy Cross—on Herodotus’ Histories where some help with the grammar is still a major desideratum and where there is also a significant focus on topics in literary criticism and on historiographical issues. .

Dustjacket has light shelfwear. ; In The Experiences of Tiresias its title referring to the shepherd struck blind after glimpsing Athena's naked body Nicole Loraux explores the ambivalence in how the Greek male defines himself in relationship to the feminine. In these essays Loraux disturbs the idea of virile men and feminine women a distinction found in official discourse and aimed at protecting the ideals of male identity from any taint of the feminine. Turning to epic and to Socrates however she insists on a logic of an inclusiveness between the genders which casts a shadow over their clear officially defined borders. "Nicole Loraux documents with delicate sensitivity to text and context the mobility of the contrast between 'man' and 'the feminine. '. Her readings of tragedy are particularly compelling. "--Mary Margaret McCabe The Times Literary Supplement "Loraux is a pioneer in the analysis of gender difference and sexuality in classical Greece. Strongly opposed to polarized interpretations of 'masculine' and 'feminine ' she illuminates the complex and often contradictory interrelationship of the sexes in real life and in the Greek/Athenian social 'imaginary.

‎MODERN CRITICAL THEORY AND CLASSICAL LITERATURE‎

‎E. J. Brill. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 9004095713 . Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; In recent decades the study of literature in Europe and the Americas has been profoundly influenced by modern critical theory in its various forms whether Structuralism or Deconstructionism Hermeneutics Reader-Response Theory or Rezeptionsästhetik Semiotics or Narratology Marxist feminist neo-historical psychoanalytical or other perspectives. Whilst the value and validity of such approaches to literature is still a matter of some dispute not least among classical scholars they have had a substantial impact on the study both of classical literatures and of the mentalité of Greece and Rome. In an attempt to clarify issues in the debate the eleven contributors to this volume were asked to produce a representative collection of essays to illustrate the applicability of some of the new approaches to Greek and Latin authors or literary forms and problems. The scope of the volume was deliberately limited to literary investigation broadly construed of Greek and Roman authors. Broader areas of the history and culture of the ancient world impinge in the essays but are not their central focus. The volume also contains a separate bibliography offering for the first time a complete bibliography of classical studies which incorporate modern critical theory. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 6.75 X 1 X 10 inches; 304 pages .

‎THE HISTORICAL METHOD OF HERODOTUS‎

‎University of Toronto Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0802057934 . Gift inscription from author to Carolyn Dewald on titlepage. Minor pencilling. Pages lightly tanned. ; Phoenix Supplementary Volume XXIII; 336 pages; Herodotus was the first writer in the West to conceive the value of creating a record of the recent past. He found a way to co-ordinate the often conflicting data of history ethnology and culture. The Historical Method of Herodotus explores the intellectual habits and the literary principles of this pioneer writer of prose. Donald Lateiner argues against the perception that Herodotus' work seems amorphous and ill organized that the Histories contain their own definition of historical significance. He examines patterns of presentation and literary structure in narratives speeches and direct communications to the reader in short the conventions and rhetoric of history as Herodotus created it. This rhetoric includes the use of recurring themes the relation of speech to reported actions indications of doubt stylistic idiosyncrasies frequent reference to nonverbal behaviours and strategies of opening and ending. Lateiner shows how Herodotus sometimes suppresses information on principle and sometimes compels the reader to choose among contending versions of events. His inventories of Herodotus' methods allow the reader to focus on typical practice not misleading exception. In his analysis of the structuring concepts of the Histories Lateiner scrutinizes Herodotean time and chronology. He considers the historian's admiration for ethnic freedom and autonomy the rule of law and the positive values of conflict. Despite these apparent biases he argues the text's intellectual and moral preferences present a generally cool and detached account from which an authorial personality rarely emerges. The Historical Method of Herodotus illuminates the idiosyncrasies and ambitious nature of a major text in classics and the Western tradition and touches on aspects of historiography ancient history rhetoric and the history of ideas. ; Signed by Author .
