WRITTEN VOICES SPOKEN SIGNS Tradition Performance and the Epic Text
Harvard University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0674962605 . Faint foxing to textblock. Else minor shelfwear. ; Written Voices Spoken Signs is a stimulating introduction to new perspectives on Homer and other traditional epics. Taking advantage of recent research on language and social exchange the nine essays in this volume focus on performance and audience reception of oral poetry. These innovative essays by leading scholars of Homer oral poetics and epic invite us to rethink some key concepts for an understanding of traditional epic poetry. Egbert Bakker examines the epic performer's use of time and tense in recounting a past that is alive. Tackling the question of full-length performance of the monumental Iliad Andrew Ford considers the extent to which the work was perceived as a coherent whole in the archaic age. John Miles Foley addresses questions about spoken signs and the process of reference in epic discourse and Ahuvia Kahane studies rhythm as a semantic factor in the Homeric performance. Richard Martin suggests a new range of performance functions for the Homeric simile. And Gregory Nagy establishes the importance of one feature of epic language the ellipsis. These six essays centered on Homer engage with fundamental issues that are addressed by three essays primarily concerned with medieval epic: those by Franz Bäuml on the concept of fact; by Wulf Oesterreicher on types of orality; and by Ursula Schaefer on written and spoken media. In their Introduction the editors highlight the underlying approach and viewpoints of this collaborative volume. ; Center for Hellenic Studies Colloquia; 320 pages .

THE EARLY AMAZONS Modern and Ancient Perspectives on a Persistent Myth
E. J. Brill. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 9004100776 . Front upper corner bumped and a bit creased. Else light shelfwear. ; Religions in the Graeco-Roman World; 473 pages; The Early Amazons offers a new understanding of the ancient Amazon myth situating mythical representations in the realm of cultural history. The first section examines how the Amazons have presented a challenge to views on history myth and gender in classical mythology from the late eighteenth century up to the impact of structuralism. Topics included are nineteenth-century historiography and the interest in linguistics. The second section sheds new light on the culture of archaic Greece offering a coherent assessment of literary and visual representations. Taking mythical narrative as a form of oral storytelling it shows the emergence of the Amazon motif and its meaning in the world of epic. Iconographical analysis reveals how the visual arts have made a contribution of their own to the imaginary presence of the Amazons. . E. J. Brill hardcover

HOMER'S ANCIENT READERS The Hermeneutics of Greek Epic's Earliest Exegetes
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0691069344 . Faint foxing to top of textblock. Light shelfwear to book and DJ. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Although the influence of Homer on Western literature has long commanded critical attention little has been written on how various generations of readers have found meaning in his texts. These seven essays explore the ways in which the Iliad and the Odyssey have been read from the time of Homer through the Renaissance. By asking what questions early readers expected the texts to answer and looking at how these expectations changed over time the authors clarify the position of the Iliad and the Odyssey in the intellectual world of antiquity while offering historical insight into the nature of reading. This collection surveys the entire field of preserved ancient interpretations of Homer beginning with the fictional audiences portrayed within the poems themselves proceeding to readings by Aristotle the Stoics and Aristarchus and Crates and culminating in the spiritualized allegorical reading current among Platonists of the fifth and sixth centuries C. E. The influence of these ancient interpretations is then examined in Byzantium and in the Latin West during the Renaissance. Contributors to this volume are Robert Browning Anthony Grafton Robert Lamberton A. A. Long James Porter Nicholas Richardson and Charles Segal. ; Magie Classical Publications; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 192 pages . Princeton University Press hardcover

They form the first recorded attempt at systematic character writing. The book has been regarded by some as an independent work; others incline to the view that the sketches were written from time to time by Theophrastus and collected and edited after his death; others again regard the Characters as part of a larger systematic work but the style of the book is against this. Theophrastus has found many imitators in this kind of writing notably Hall 1608 Sir Thomas Overbury 161416 Bishop Earle 1628 and Jean de La Bruyère 1688 who also translated the Characters. ; 153 pages .

Hainsworth, J. B.
THE IDEA OF EPIC
University of California Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0520068149 . Faint foxing to textblock else book is fine. DJ spine sunned and discolored. Dustjacket is protected in plastick sleeve. ; Eidos; 0.75 x 8.75 x 6 Inches; 200 pages; The idea of epic is elusive. The classical tradition of epic poetry emerged from the heroic poetry of one tribe of one people the Ionian Greeks. The fame of the Iliad and Odyssey inspired emulators and created a genre which remained in high favor throughout the classical epoch and was revived in the Renaissance. Modern literature however has neglected it and the word "epic" no longer connotes a literary form. J. B. Hainsworth explores the development of the epic genre the causes of its success in classical literature and the reasons for the failure of the genre after its triumphs in the Renaissance. The idea of epic Hainsworth argues is composite. As the offspring of a tradition of heroic poetry it is a narrative of historical or fictional events. However the Homeric epics try to make sense of events by relating them to some theme for example heroism and explaining them in terms of a metaphysical idea such as destiny or the will of God. In the literary epic of the classical period the narrative element divided into historical and mythological forms; authors exploited national political and romantic themes. Hainsworth examines the way in which these ideas intersect in classical criticism and in Hellenistic and Roman epic. Hainsworth demonstrates that after its first flowering the epic became an artificial literary form justified by the authority of the Homeric poems. When the poetic form was abandoned the idea of epic dissolved leaving as its ghost the expression in other forms of the metaphysical ideas of the Greek and Roman epics. .

CONSTRUCTING LITERATURE IN THE ROMAN REPUBLIC
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2005. Hardcover. 052185461X . Tiny stain to rear endpaper else book is fine. Light rubbing and shelfwear to DJ. ; How the Romans came to have a literature reflecting native and foreign impulses and how it formed a legacy for subsequent generations have become central questions in the cultural history of the Republic. This book explores the development of Roman literary sensibility from early interest in epic and drama through invention of satire and eventual enshrining of books in public collections important to Horace and Ovid. The "early" literature is seen to be a product less of the mid-Republic when poetic texts began to circulate than of the late Republic when they were systematically collected and canonized. ; 262 pages .

Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198149433 . DJ spine is sunned and discolored now in brodart. Light bump to top corner of book with small scratches to front board. ; No historian of ancient Rome in this century has had a greater influence on historical research or won greater international acclaim than Sir Ronald Syme 1903-89. His outstanding position was due mainly to his first two books The Roman Revolution which appeared in 1939 and Tacitus two volumes 1958 - although he went on to produce many more monographs and seven volumes of his Roman Papers have so far appeared. The long gap between his first two books is partly explained by the war which took him on official duties to Belgrade and Ankara and he spent the years 1943-5 at Istanbul as Professor of Classical Philology. It was known that in spite of the war Syme had continued to write in these years in particular 'Strabonia' investigations into the famous ancient Geography composed by Strabo a native of Asia Minor in the time of Augustus. After Syme's death the manuscript was discovered among his papers: he had not quite completed the work but what he had written with almost complete annotation represents a substantial and fascinating study of the historical geography of Anatolia in the Hellenistic and early Roman period. Syme ruthlessly dissects the often incoherent and inconsistent text of Strabo at the same time providing rich detail on client kings Roman generals and emperors writers and travellers. Above all he shows unequalled ability to understand the landscape and settlement of Anatolia. ; 424 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

Miller Paul Allen
LYRIC TEXTS AND LYRIC CONSCIOUSNESS The Birth of a Genre from Archaic Greece to Augustan Rome
Routledge. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0415105188 . Very light bump to top of spine else book is fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; Lyric Texts and Lyric Consciousness presents a model for studying the history of lyric as a genre. Prof Miller draws a distinction between the work of the Greek lyrists and the more condensed personal poetry that we associate with lyric. He then confronts the theoretical issues and presents a sophisticated Bakhtinian reading of the development of the lyric form from its origins in archaic Greece to the more individualist style of Augustan Rome. This book will appeal to classicists and since English translations of passages from the ancient authors are provided to those who specialise in comparative literature. ; 248 pages .

PLUTARCH
Duckworth. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1973. Hardcover. 0715606689 . Very light shelfwear to book. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. DJ spine sunned. DJ is price-clipped. ; More perhaps than any other single writer Plutarch has been responsible for transmitting to Europe the central historical and moral traditions of classical antiquity. His books have been a formative influence in western civilisation; they retain a direct appeal to which it is easy to respond. Mestrius Plutarchus ca. 46- 127 was a Greek historian biographer and essayist. Born in the small town of Chaeronea in the Greek region known as Boeotia probably during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius Plutarch travelled widely in the Mediterranean world including twice to Rome. Due to his parents' wealth after 67 Plutarchus was able to study philosophy rhetoric and mathematics at the Academy of Athens. He had a number of influential friends including Soscius Senecio and Fundanus both important Senators to whom some of his later writings were dedicated. He lived most of his life at Chaeronea and was initiated into the mysteries of the Greek god Apollo. However his duties as the senior of the two priests of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi where he was responsible for interpreting the auguries of the Pythia or priestess/oracle apparently occupied little of his time - he led an active social and civic life and produced an incredible body of writing much of which is still extant. ; Classical Life and Letters; 183 pages .
