The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0801840554 . Pencilling to rear endpaper else fine. ; Is it fair to judge early Greek rhetoric by the standards of Plato and Aristotle This text argues that it is not and yet this is the path taken by current scholarship on the subject. Arguing against this view this work sees early Greek rhetoric as largely unsystematic efforts to explore more by means than by precept all aspects of discourse. Replacing these early text by such treatises as the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle Cole explains can only be understood as part of a gradual process as artistic prose came to be disseminated in written texts and so available in a form that for the first time be analyzed evaluated and closely imitated. ; Ancient Society and History; 191 pages .

DJ is price-clipped. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 272 pages; The De Rerum Natura of Lucretius is a sustained and impassioned protest against religious superstition and irrationality. The poem takes the form of a detailed exposition of Epicurean physical theory - an extreme materialism designed to remove and discredit popular fears of the gods death and an afterlife. Book III is generally accepted to be the finest in the whole poem; Lucretius argues there that the soul is as mortal as the body and shows that human response to the fact of mortality and death can be at once rational dignified and liberating. Professor Kenney's commentary is the first to give proper critical emphasis to the techniques and intentions of Lucretius' poetry; it can be read with profit by all students of Latin from senior school level upwards. .

THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472108921 . Minor shelfwear book is fine. DJ has 3 small holes to foreedges. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters advise other officeholders and make some administrative decisions it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights voters had to come to Rome or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover

ORAL TRADITION AND WRITTEN RECORDS IN CLASSICAL ATHENS
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 1992. Softcover. 0521425182 . Very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; Despite its written literature ancient Greece was in many ways an oral society. This is the first serious attempt to study the implications of this view. Dr Thomas stresses the coexistence of literacy and oral tradition in Greece and examines their character and interaction. Concentrating on the plentiful evidence from Classical Athens she shows how the use of writing developed only gradually and under the influence of the previous oral communication. Drawing on anthropological discussion the author isolates different types of Athenian oral tradition building up a picture of Athens' traditions about its past and examining why they changed and disappeared. This study provides crucial insights into the methods and achievements of the Greek historians. It also has major implications for the interpretation of ancient literacy. ; Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 321 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback

BOOK 7 OF CAESAR'S BELLUM GALLICUM With Introduction Text Vocabulary and Notes
Brown Walker Press. Very Good. 2004. Paperback. 1581124279 . Minor edgewear. Scholar's name to titlepage Robert Brown. ; This comprehensive reader utilizes a step-by-step approach to help students of Latin read and understand the longest and most dramatic book of Caesar's Gallic War. Book 7 is the culmination of the conflict between Gaul led by the young Arvernian Vercingetorix and fighting for its freedom and political survival and the Romans led by Julius Caesar and fighting for hegemony and political mastery. The final battle at Alesia pitting the united might of Gaul at 339000 men against a Roman army of 40000 changed the course of Western history. This reader is ideal for Latin students of all levels who have a basic knowledge of grammar and morphology. The Latin text of all 90 chapters of Book 7 is broken down into manageable segments normally about a sentence in length. Immediately following all vocabulary is provided with several meanings of each word selected for that particular context. This is especially helpful for beginning students who are sometimes unsure which definition of a given word to select for translation. Following the vocabulary there are notes on the passage. A unique feature of this reader is that the notes are complete and cover the syntax of every construction and every word in turn. The thoroughness of this reader facilitates speed in reading increases comprehension and promotes satisfaction in reading a difficult language. The benefits of this approach will be shared by teachers and students alike. ; 396 pages . Brown Walker Press paperback

Krostenko Brian A.
CICERO CATULLUS AND THE LANGUAGE OF SOCIAL PERFORMANCE
University Of Chicago Press. Very Good. 2001. Paperback. 0226454444 . Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. Else very light shelfwear. ; Charm wit and style were critical but dangerous ingredients in the social repertoire of the Roman elite. Their use drew special attention but also exposed one to potential ridicule or rejection for valuing style over substance. Brian A. Krostenko explores the complexities and ambiguities of charm wit and style in Roman literature of the late Republic by tracking the origins development and use of the terms that described them which he calls "the language of social performance." As Krostenko demonstrates a key feature of this language is its capacity to express both approval and disdain�an artifact of its origins at a time when the "style" and "charm" of imported Greek cultural practices were greeted with both enthusiasm and hostility. Cicero played on that ambiguity for example by chastising lepidus "fine" boys in the "Second Oration against Catiline" as degenerates then arguing in his De Oratore that the successful speaker must have a certain charming lepos "wit". Catullus in turn exploited and inverted the political subtexts of this language for innovative poetic and erotic idioms. ; 336 pages . University Of Chicago Press paperback

Catullus; David Mulroy
THE COMPLETE POETRY OF CATULLUS Translated and with Commentary
University of Wisconsin Press. Very Good. 2002. Paperback. 0299177742 . Pencil underlining and marginalia to some pages. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. ; Catullus� life was akin to pulp fiction. In Julius Caesar�s Rome he engages in a stormy affair with a consul�s wife. He writes her passionate poems of love hate and jealousy. The consul a vehement opponent of Caesar dies under suspicious circumstances. The merry widow romances numerous young men. Catullus is drawn into politics and becomes a cocky critic of Caesar writing poems that dub Julius a low-life pig and a pervert. Not surprisingly soon after no more is heard of Catullus. David Mulroy brings to life the witty poignant and brutally direct voice of a flesh-and-blood man a young provincial in the Eternal City reacting to real people and events in a Rome full of violent conflict among individuals marked by genius and megalomaniacal passions. Mulroy�s lively rhythmic translations of the poems are enhanced by an introduction and commentary that provide biographical and bibliographical information about Catullus a history of his times a discussion of the translations and definitions and notes that ease the way for anyone who is not a Latin scholar. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 160 pages .

Sanders Ed
ENVY AND JEALOUSY IN CLASSICAL ATHENS A Socio-Psychological Approach
Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 0199897727 . Emotions vary extensively between cultures especially in their eliciting conditions social acceptability forms of expression and co-extent of terminology. Envy and Jealousy in Classical Athens examines the sensation expression and literary representation of these major emotions in Athens. Previous scholarship has primarily taken a lexical approach focusing on usage of the Greek words phthonos and z�los. This has value but also limitations for two reasons: the discreditable nature of phthonos renders its ascription or disclamation suspect and there is no Classical Greek label for sexual jealousy. A complementary approach is therefore required one which reads the expressed values and actions of entire situations. Building on recent developments in reading emotion "scripts" in classical texts this book applies to Athenian culture and literature insights on the contexts conscious and subconscious motivations subjective manifestations and indicative behaviors of envy jealousy and related emotions. These critical insights are derived from modern philosophical psychological psychoanalytical sociological and anthropological scholarship thus enabling an exploration of both the explicit theorization and evaluation of envy and jealousy and also the more oblique ways in which they find expression across different genres-in particular philosophy oratory comedy and tragedy. By employing this new methodology Ed Sanders illuminates a significant and underexplored aspect of Classical Athenian culture and literature. ; Emotions of the Past; 224 pages .

Knudsen Rachel Ahern
HOMERIC SPEECH AND THE ORIGINS OF RHETORIC
Johns Hopkins University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 1421412268 . Top corners a bit bumped. Else book is fine. ; Traditionally Homer's epics have been the domain of scholars and students interested in ancient Greek poetry and Aristotle's rhetorical theory has been the domain of those interested in ancient rhetoric. Rachel Ahern Knudsen believes that this academic distinction between poetry and rhetoric should be challenged. Based on a close analysis of persuasive speeches in the Iliad Knudsen argues that Homeric poetry displays a systematic and technical concept of rhetoric and that many Iliadic speakers in fact employ the rhetorical techniques put forward by Aristotle. Rhetoric in its earliest formulation in ancient Greece was conceived as the power to change a listener�s actions or attitudes through words Particularly through persuasive techniques and argumentation. Rhetoric was thus a "technical" discipline in the ancient Greek world a craft techn� that was rule-governed learned and taught. This technical understanding of rhetoric can be traced back to the works of Plato and Aristotle which provide the earliest formal explanations of rhetoric. But do such explanations constitute the true origins of rhetoric as an identifiable systematic practice If not where does a technique-driven rhetoric first appear in literary and social history Perhaps the answer is in Homeric epics. Homeric Speech and the Origins of Rhetoric demonstrates a remarkable congruence between the rhetorical techniques used by Iliadic speakers and those collected in Aristotle's seminal treatise on rhetoric. Knudsen's claim has implications for the fields of both Homeric poetry and the history of rhetoric. In the former field it refines and extends previous scholarship on direct speech in Homer by identifying a new dimension within Homeric speech Namely the consistent deployment of well-defined rhetorical arguments and techniques. In the latter field it challenges the traditional account of the development of rhetoric probing the boundaries that currently demarcate its origins history and relationship to poetry. ; 248 pages .

WIlliams Gordon
FIGURES OF THOUGHT IN ROMAN POETRY
Yale University Press. Good in Good dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. 0300024568 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover Robert Brown. Hard bump to lower edge of front board. Tiny sticker damage to ffep. Else book is VG. DJ has chipping and tears. DJ is somewhat tatty and a bit soiled to rear panel. ; 312 pages; It has long been assumed that the language of Roman poetry was constructed under the dictates of elaborately defined rules of rhetoric and its content determined according to the system of comparable classifications called invention. This belief has persisted in spite of the difficulty of fitting the works of Catullus Horace Virgil Propertius and Tibullus into such a rigid scheme. In this book Gordon Williams demonstrates that although Ovid and his successors did indeed assimilate their poetry to the rhetorical rules devised for prose the earlier poets employed a quite different method. Williams sees this method as falling into either a metaphorical or metonymic mode both of which permitted the poet "to say one thing and mean another." Delicate and often startling transitions of thought could be grasped-though not necessarily on first reading-by readers "assumed by the poet to have a special access to the poet's process of thought." This access presupposed similarities of "education social position and sympathetic understanding." Through close analyses of many poems Williams shows how poets in the fifty years before Horace's death exploited metaphor metonymy and a third device that he calls thematic anticipation to evoke subtle associations of thought. In doing so he elucidates problems of Latin poems that have been generally misunderstood almost since they day they were written. . Yale University Press hardcover

ROMAN SATIRE
Methuen & Company. Good. 1976. Softcover. 0416851304 . Staining to last couple of blank pages does not affect text. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover Robert Brown. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is VG. ; 289 pages; This study appraises the work of all the Roman satirists from the 2nd century BC to the end of the reign of Hadrian in AD 138. The satirists' work is shown to reflect the constantly changing society in which they lived and its topics range from the morally earnest to the bawdy. Certain themes are examined which are common to some degree to all the satirists -- autobiographical revelation personal invective political and ethical judgements and literary criticism. The book provides an exposition of the tradition of verse satire from Lucilius through Horace and Persius to Juvenal with an assessment of the structure and distinctive literary quality of each satire. It discusses satire in the Menippean tradition a composite form of prose and verse which was used first by Varro then by Petronius and by Seneca in his "Apocolocyntosis" a comical and malicious satire on the deification of the emperor Claudius. .

Dihle Albrecht
GREEK AND LATIN LITERATURE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE From Augustus to Justinian
Routledge. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0415063671 . Upper corners lightly bumped. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Minor shelfwear to book. Some creasing to DJ with a bit of staining to rear wrap. ; Professor Dihle sees the Greek and Latin literature between the 1st century B. C. And the 6th century A. D. As an organic progression. He builds on Schlegel's observation that art customs and political life in classical antiquity are inextricably entwined and therefore should not be examined separately. Dihle does not simply consider narrowly defined `literature' but all works of cultural socio-historical significance including Jewish and Christian literature philosophy and science. Despite this major authors like Seneca Tacitus and Plotinus are considered individually. This work is an authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature. ; 656 pages .
