‎HOMER AND THE EPIC A Shortened Version of 'the Songs of Homer'‎

‎Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1965. Softcover. 0521093562 . Minor shelfwear. Spine sunned and a bit creased. Light bump to top of spine. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; 243 pages; This is a shortened and rearranged version of The Songs of Homer. The literature of the western world begins with one of its greatest achievements. The stories of the wrath of Achilles and its consequences and of the wanderings of Odysseus have been admired from ancient times to the present day. The two great epics can be read and enjoyed unreflectingly as tales of adventure; or they can be studied as literature yielding as insight and understanding grow a deeper and more permanent pleasure. Professor Kirk's book is the means to this pleasure. It is a vivid and comprehensive account of the background and development of the Homeric poems and of their quality as literature. The epics are seen primarily as oral poetry sung for centuries by illiterate singers; and from this view rises discussion of the problems of authorship and transmission. The historical archaeological and linguistic evidence is also examined; and the possible contributions of the Mycenaean period and of the subsequent Dark Age are shown in a fresh light. .

Scholar's blindstamp to ffep Robert Brown. ; If a scholar wishes to create a picture of a topical society in all its aspects there is little of what he needs to know that he cannot know although there may still be much that he cannot understand. For the history of Greece and Rome there is a great deal that is simply unknowable. From the end of the archaic age of Greece there is an unbroken sequence of works by Greek and later Roman historians down to the end of antiquity. Their vision and range of interest were often limited and much of what they produced has been lost. Some help may be derived from the documentary material supplied in antiquity material that was the product of officials organising public activities or heads of families organising their affairs or individuals leaving their mark on the world. Beyond this the evidence of archaeology and numismatics may also be helpful. The four essays in this book set out to characterise the nature of the ancient literary tradition the inscriptional material the archaeological and numismatic evidence and to explain how and for what purposes they may be used.

‎SAPPHO'S LYRE Archaic Lyric and Women Poets of Ancient Greece‎

‎University of California Press. Very Good. 1991. Softcover. 0520073363 . Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Creasing and a bit of chipping to corners of wraps. Minor shelfwear. Some pencil notes to text. ; 234 pages; Sappho sang her poetry to the accompaniment of the lyre on the Greek island of Lesbos over 2500 years ago. Throughout the Greek world her contemporaries composed lyric poetry full of passion and in the centuries that followed the golden age of archaic lyric new forms of poetry emerged. In this unique anthology today's reader can enjoy the works of seventeen poets including a selection of archaic lyric and the complete surviving works of the ancient Greek women poets--the latter appearing together in one volume for the first time. Sappho's Lyre is a combination of diligent research and poetic artistry. The translations are based on the most recent discoveries of papyri including "new" Archilochos and Stesichoros and the latest editions and scholarship. The introduction and notes provide historical and literary contexts that make this ancient poetry more accessible to modern readers. Although this book is primarily aimed at the reader who does not know Greek it would be a splendid supplement to a Greek language course. It will also have wide appeal for readers of' ancient literature women's studies mythology and lovers of poetry. . University of California Press paperback‎

‎SPECTACLE AND SOCIETY IN LIVY'S HISTORY‎

‎University of California Press. Very Good. 1998. Paperback. 0520210271 . Light shelfwear. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Minor creasing to spine. ; Public spectacle--from the morning rituals of the Roman noble to triumphs and the shows of the Arena--formed a crucial component of the language of power in ancient Rome. The historian Livy c. 60 B. C. E. -17 C. E. who provides our fullest description of Rome's early history presents his account of the growth of the Roman state itself as something to be seen--a visual monument and public spectacle. Through analysis of several episodes in Livy's History Andrew Feldherr demonstrates the ways in which Livy uses specific visual imagery to make the reader not only an observer of certain key events in Roman history but also a participant in those events. This innovative study incorporates recent literary and cultural theory with detailed historical analysis to put an ancient text into dialogue with contemporary discussions of visual culture. In Spectacle and Society in Livy's History Feldherr shows how Livy uses the literary representation of spectacles from the Roman past to construct a new sense of civic identity among his readers. He offers a new way of understanding how Livy's technique addressed the political and cultural needs of Roman citizens in Livy's day. In addition to renewing our understanding of Livy through modern scholarship Feldherr provides a new assessment of the historian's aims and methods by asking what it means for the historian to make readers spectators of history. ; 250 pages .
