OVID'S METAMORPHOSES BOOKS 6-10 Edited with Introduction and Commentary
University of Oklahoma Press. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1972. Hardcover. 0806109602 . Light foxing to textblock. DJ has some foxing and 1 small tear. Minor chipping to DJ. DJ spine sunned. ; Ovid is a poet to enjoy declares William S. Anderson in his introduction to this textbook. And Anderson�s skillful introduction and enlightening textual commentary will indeed make it a joy to use. In these books Ovid begins to leave the conflict between men and the gods to concentrate on the relations among human beings. Subjects of the stories include Arachne and Niobe; Tereus Procne and Philomela; Medea and Jason; Orpheus and Eurydice; and many others familiar and unfamiliar. For students of Latin-and teachers too-they provide an interesting experience. In his introduction the editor discusses Ovid�s career the reputation of the Metamorphoses during Ovid�s time and after and the various manuscripts that exist or have been known to exist. He describes the general plan of the poem its main theme and the problem of its tone. Technical matters such as style and meter are also considered. In notes the editor summarizes the story being told before proceeding to the line-by-line textual comments. ; American Philological Association Series of Classical Texts; 584 pages .

OVID AND THE FASTI An Historical Study
Oxford Clarendon Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0198149352 . Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Very light shelfwear to DJ with light foxing. ; Ovid's Fasti has remained curiously neglected as an historical source for the period in which it was written. This new study reveals that the poem of some five thousand lines on the Roman calendar written and revised in the years between A. D. 4-16 provides students of the Augustan age with a wealth of information both about the author himself and about his cultural and political environment. In addition to revelations about the way in which Augustus and his family were incorporated into the ancient religion of the city of Rome and details of the last decade of Augustus' life and the first years of Tiberius' rule Herbert-Brown finds in the poem new evidence of the processes which marked the transition from the Republic to Empire. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 264 pages .

Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 264 pages; The Odyssey besides being one of the world's first adventure stories is a poem of great subtlety rich in irony and sophisticated characterization. The poet's art is amply illustrated by books XIX and XX in which Odysseus disguised as a beggar spends the night in his own palace and lays plans for his awesome revenge. Particularly memorable is the episode in which Penelope converses with her husband without suspecting his identity. In this edition Richard Rutherford provides not only detailed comment on the action characterization and style of the books in question but also in an extensive introduction a general survey of the Odyssey as a whole laying special emphasis on the qualities of the second half of the poem. He also attempts to contribute to the literary criticism of the poem on a verbal level by considering the poet's use of formulae rhetorical technique and similes. This volume is intended for readers of the Odyssey at all stages. The commentary gives extensive linguistic guidance for beginners; and the introduction in which all Greek is translated is intended to be accessible to any readers interested in Homer as a poet. .

Of all Athenian tragic dramas Eumenides is most consciously designed to be relevant to the situation of the Athenian state at the time of its performance 458 B.C. and seems to have contained daring innovations both in technique and in ideas. The introduction and commentary to this edition seek to bring out how Aeschylus shaped to his purpose the legends he inherited and ended the tragic story of Agamemnon's family in a celebration of Athenian civic unity and justice. The commentary also pays attention to the linguistic metrical and textual problems to be encountered by the reader. . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 0521239605 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 252 pages; The four private speeches contained in this collection were functional artefacts whose object was to persuade a jury numbered in hundreds by manipulating both the facts of the case and the prejudices beliefs and attitudes of the Athenian man-in-the-street. It is as vehicles of persuasion that Dr Carey and Dr Reid seek primarily to treat the speeches using their commentary to shed light on how well the speeches perform their function. The speeches have also been chosen for their value as documents of Athenian law commerce and private life. The commentary explains as far as possible any obscurities in these fields and also deals with matters of linguistic interest. While intended mainly for undergraduates and students in the upper forms of schools the book will be of interest to all classical scholars. The introduction which provides a brief survey of the Athenian legal system and the trade of the speechwriter requires no knowledge of Greek and should interest students of classical culture and literature in translation. .

He sketches the historical context in which the poems were written and comments on their structure and purpose. He also discusses their literary preoccupations: the relations of poet and patron and the role of poetry in the state Augustus the problems of a professedly tiring poet Florus and the presentation of classical poetic theory "Ars Poetica". He notes Horace's influence on later criticism drawing attention in one section to one of Alexander Pope's Imitations. He also addresses problems of grammar and style focusing on linguistic difficulties and the subtle movement of the poet's thought. . Cambridge University Press hardcover
