‎THE EXPERIENCES OF TIRESIAS The Feminine and the Greek Man‎

‎Princeton University Press. Very Good. 1997. Softcover. 0691017174 . Spine sunned. Minor 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.

DJ has very minor shelfwear. ; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter Mars and Juno. However real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers the lusty garden god Priapus and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age. ; Signed by Author .

‎CORINNA‎

‎Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. Very Good. 1963. Softcover. Minor shelfwear. Chipping to rear wrap. Scholar's name to front wrap D. Gerber. ; Corinna or Korinna was an Ancient Greek poet probably of the 6th century BC. She came from Tanagra in Boeotia and according to later legend was the teacher of the much better-known Theban poet Pindar. Although two poems survive in epitome most of her work exists currently in fragments. Corinna's birthdate is unknown but if Pindar was indeed her pupil it may be assumed that she was born some years earlier than his birthdate of 522 BC. Some writers however place her in the 5th or 4th century BC. Pausanias says she won a poetry competition against Pindar in honour of which she had a monument erected to her. He says that her success was chiefly due to her beauty and her use of the local Boeotian dialect. Aelian says said she defeated Pindar five times and in response to these defeats Pindar called her a sow. Antipater of Thessaloniki lists her in his catalogue of nine mortal muses. Corinna wrote choral poetry for celebrations in the Boeotian dialect of Greek. It is said that she criticised Pindar for introducing Atticisms into his poems. Unlike Pindar she focused on local myths and drew parallels between the world of mythology and ordinary human behaviour. The outlines of two of her poems survive. Minouaie The Daughters of Minyas tells of the three adult daughters of King Minyas of Orchomenos: Leukippe Arsippe and Alkathoe. Koronaie The Shuttle Maidens tells of Orion's two daughters Menippe and Metioche who cut their throats with their shuttle "accepting death for their neighbours' sake". ; 8vo; 88 pages .

‎EURIPIDES: HERACLIDAE With Introduction and Commentary‎

‎Oxford Clarendon Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0198147589 . Book and Dustjacket have minor shelfwear. Minor foxing 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. . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover‎

It is written specifically for the reader who does not know Greek and who may be unfamiliar with the context of the Athenian drama festival but who nevertheless wants to appreciate the plays in all their complexity. Simon Goldhill aims to combine the best contemporary scholarly criticism in classics with a wide knowledge of modern literary studies in other fields. He discusses the masterpieces of Athenian drama in the light of contemporary critical controversies in such a way as to enable the student or scholar not only to understand and appreciate the texts of the most commonly read plays but also to evaluate and utilize the range of approaches to the problems of ancient drama. .
