Cairns, Francis
TIBULLUS A Hellenistic Poet at Rome
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1979. Softcover. 0521296838 . Very light shelfwear. ; 264 pages; Tibullus was one of the leading poets of Augustan Rome. Professor Cairns examines in detail aspects of Tibullus' poetic craftsmanship - his learning his interest in the meanings of words his use of suspense and deception his control of the structures of his elegies - and demonstrates the original qualities of Tibullus' verse. This examination is carried out by relating Tibullus' work at all points to the Hellenistic poetic tradition and the literary genres and conventions it developed. This book will be of particular interest to students of Latin and Hellenistic Greek literature and as all Greek is translated it should also be useful to students of comparative literature. .

MODERN CRITICAL THEORY AND CLASSICAL LITERATURE
E. J. Brill. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 9004095713 . Very light shelfwear to book and DJ. Rear panel of DJ yellowed. ; 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 .

INTERPRETATIONS OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Croom Helm. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1987. Hardcover. 0709932707 . Light Bmp to head of spine. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Else Minor shelfwear. DJ has minor shelfwear. ; Interpretations of Greek Mythology first published in1987 builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the Paris school of Jean-Pierre Vernant and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes Oedipus Orpheus Narcissus reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth. ; 294 pages; The volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. The book's organizing theme is a recurrent Greek dialectic between ideas of poetry as on the one hand a powerfully enthralling experience in its own right a kind of 'ecstasy' and on the other a medium for the expression of truths which can exercise lasting influence on its audiences' views of the world. Citing a wide range of modern scholarship and making frequent connections with later periods of literary theory and aesthetics Halliwell questions many orthodoxies and received opinions about the texts analysed. The resulting perspective casts new light on ways in which the Greeks attempted to make sense of the psychology of poetic experience - including the roles of emotion ethics imagination and knowledge - in the life of their culture .

Petronius & Seneca; Michael Heseltine & W. H. D. Rouse
PETRONIUS: SATYRICON / SENECA: APOCOLOCYNTOSIS
Harvard University Press & William Heinemann. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. 1961. Hardcover. Minor shelfwear. Pages lightly tanned. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. DJ is present but is tattered with browning and tears. ; Loeb Classical Library; 418 pages; Petronius C. Or T. Petronius Arbiter who is reasonably identified with the author of this famous satyric and satiric novel was a man of pleasure and of good literary taste who flourished in the times of Claudius 4154 CE and Nero 5468. As Tacitus describes him he used to sleep by day and attend to official duties or to his amusements by night. At one time he was governor of the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor and was also a consul showing himself a man of vigour when this was required. Later he lapsed into indulgence or assumed the mask of vice and became a close friend of Nero. Accused by jealous Tigellinus of disloyalty and condemned with self-opened veins he conversed lightly with friends dined drowsed sent to Nero a survey of Nero's sexual deeds and so died 66 CE. The surviving parts of Petronius's romance Satyricon mix philosophy and real life prose and verse in a tale of the disreputable adventures of Encolpius and two companions Ascyltus and Giton. In the course of their wanderings they attend a showy and wildly extravagant dinner given by a rich freedman Trimalchio whose guests talk about themselves and life in general. Other incidents are a shipwreck and somewhat lurid proceedings in South Italy. The work is written partly in pure Latin but sometimes purposely in a more vulgar style. It parodies and otherwise attacks bad taste in literature pedantry and hollow society. Apocolocyntosis "Pumpkinification" instead of deification is probably by Seneca the wealthy philosopher and courtier ca. 4 BCE65 CE. It is a medley of prose and verse and a political satire on the Emperor Claudius written soon after he died in 54 CE and was deified. . Harvard University Press & William Heinemann hardcover

GREEK INSECTS
Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1986. Hardcover. 0195205480 . Faint shelfwear to book and DJ. ; 208 pages; This authoritative study of Greek insects treats not only the obvious questions of their identity--in modern terms of species and genera--but also such topics as the etymologies both formal and popular of the various insect names the folklore religious and other signficant associations and the differences in attitude shown toward them by the ancient and modern world. Patterned after two famous studies by D'Arcy Thompson--A Glossary of Greek Birds and A Glossary of Greek Fishes--this volume provides a meticulous survey of the topic examining the ancient literature and the enormous secondary literature connected with it as well as the most recent scientific findings. Like Thompson's glossaries this work focuses primarily on evidence from literature and art with later evidence brought in only when needed for a full understanding of the facts. Compiled by a classics scholar working with a zoologist this glossary provides alphabetically-arranged entries on such common insects as the ant the louse the butterfly the wasp the bedbug the cricket and the praying mantis. The first comprehensive study on this subject Greek Insects belongs on the bookshelf of every Greek scholar and it will be of considerable interest to educated readers. .

INTERPRETATIONS OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Croom Helm. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1987. Hardcover. 0709932707 . Minor sheflwear to book. Scholar's name to ffep Bonnie Maclachlan née Ward. DJ has some dampstaining; Interpretations of Greek Mythology first published in1987 builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the Paris school of Jean-Pierre Vernant and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes Oedipus Orpheus Narcissus reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth. ; 294 pages; The volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. The book's organizing theme is a recurrent Greek dialectic between ideas of poetry as on the one hand a powerfully enthralling experience in its own right a kind of 'ecstasy' and on the other a medium for the expression of truths which can exercise lasting influence on its audiences' views of the world. Citing a wide range of modern scholarship and making frequent connections with later periods of literary theory and aesthetics Halliwell questions many orthodoxies and received opinions about the texts analysed. The resulting perspective casts new light on ways in which the Greeks attempted to make sense of the psychology of poetic experience - including the roles of emotion ethics imagination and knowledge - in the life of their culture .
