‎THE SONGS OF HOMER‎

‎Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1977. Hardcover. 0521058902 . Very light Shelfwear to book. Else fine. Dustjacket is a little rubbed. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 9 x 1.25 x 6 Inches; 438 pages; 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. .

Light scuffing to DJ spine with 1 small chip. ; Ostia an ancient town on the coast facing the Tyrrhenian Sea in Latium Italy was the harbour of ancient Rome and perhaps its first colonia. Located at the mouth of the River Tiber Ostia was said to have been founded by Ancus Marcius one of the kings of Rome in the 7th century BC. However the most ancient archaeological remains so far discovered are no earlier than the 4th century BC and the most ancient buildings currently visible are from the 3rd century BC notably the Castrum military camp and of a slightly later date the Capitolium temple of Jupiter Juno and Minerva. The opus quadratum walls of the original castrum at Ostia provide important evidence for the building techniques that were employed in Roman urbanism during the period of the Middle Republic. Although Ostia was probably founded for the sole purpose of military defence � since through the Tiber's mouths armies could eventually reach Rome by water � in time the port became a commercial harbour and a very important one too. Many of the goods that Rome received from its colonies and provinces passed through Ostia. In this role Ostia soon replaced Pozzuoli. ; 1.54 x 9.51 x 6.45 Inches; 722 pages .

Light Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. ; This is the first full-length study in English of the Roman poet Martial's life poetry and politics as well as of the survival of his fifteen books of epigrams and short poems from his death around AD 104 to the present. The subjects examined include his defence of epigram as an art form his misogyny and obscenity his style wit and humour and not least his imperial propaganda. The concluding part of the work examines his high reputation in the Renaissance and the later censorship and neglect of his work until comparatively recently. All the material is presented for a modern objective assessment of his achievement without in any way disguising the unpleasant aspects of his genius and the political and literary pressures on poets in Rome at that period. ; 420 pages .

‎THE LEGACY OF HOMER Four Centuries of Art from the �cole Nationale Sup�rieure Des Beaux-Arts Paris‎

‎Museum. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2005. Hardcover. 0300109180 . Very light shelfwear to book and DJ else fine. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; From its founding in 1648 the Acad�mie royale de peinture et de sculpture and its successor the �cole nationale sup�rieure des beaux-arts in Paris were devoted to the Greek model. Mythology and poetry along with the study of sculpture were the foundations of academic teaching there. As a result Greek gods and heroes were reborn in innumerable works by pupils and teachers of the �cole. This lavishly illustrated book explores the impact of the poet Homer on four centuries of French artists through the lens of the �cole�s superb collections of paintings prints and sculptures. The �cole was the most important venue for academic training of artists in Europe as well as for many nineteenth-century American artists who studied in Paris including Thomas Eakins and John Singer Sargent. The �cole�s collections�which feature works by great artists who were first students and later instructors Fran�ois LeMoine Jacques-Louis David and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres �were intended to enhance students� taste through study and emulation. With illuminating texts by prominent French scholars and a preface by George Steiner on the reception of Homer in France The Legacy of Homer examines the historic and artistic importance of the works housed in the �cole and pays homage to Homer the great source that inspired them. ; Folio 13" - 23" tall; 360 pages .

‎MAKING MOCKERY The Poetics of Ancient Satire‎

‎Oxford University Press. Very Good. 2007. Softcover. 0195385950 . Very light shelfwear. ; Making Mockery explores the dynamics of comic mockery and satire in Greek and Roman poetry and argues that poets working with such material composed in accordance with shared generic principles and literary protocols. It encourages a synoptic synchronic view of such poetry from archaic iambus through Roman satire and argues that if we can appreciate the abstract poetics of mockery that governs individual poets in such genres we can we better understand how such poetry functioned in its own historical moment. Rosen examines in particular the various strategies deployed by ancient satirical poets to enlist the sympathies of a putative audience convince them of the justice of their indignation and the legitimacy of their personal attacks. The mocking satirist at the height of his power remains elusive and paradoxical--a figure of self-constructed abjection yet arrogant and sarcastic at the same time; a figure whose speech can be self-righteous one moment but scandalous the next; who will insist on the "reality" of his poetry but make it clear that this reality is always mediated by an inescapable movement towards fictionality. While scholars have often in principle acknowledged the force of irony persona-construction and other such devices by which satirists destabilize their claims very often in practice--especially when considering individual satirists in isolation from others--they too succumb to the satirist's invitation to take what he says at face value. Despite the sophisticated critical tools they may bring to bear on satirical texts therefore classicists still tend to treat such poets ultimately as monochromatically indignant vindictive individuals on a genuine self-righteous mission. This study however argues that that a far subtler analysis of the aggressive poeticized subject in Classical antiquity--its target and its audience--is called for. ; Classical Culture and Society; 312 pages .
