Hutchinson G. O.
HELLENISTIC POETRY
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0198140401 . Lower corners are bumped. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Light shelfwear to DJ. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Special Edition for Sandpiper books -- reprint of 1988 edition. In this study of the Hellenistic poets of the third century B. C. Hutchinson provides a much-needed picture of the poetry of the period while demonstrating its quality and vitality. The work of the Hellenistic poets in the third century BC has not only an important place in Greek literature but also a particular significance for Latin poetry. Hutchinson explores the works of such writers as Theocritus Callimachus and Apollonius of Rhodes--developing a generalconception of poetry that centers around the poets' handling of tone level and form--and offers a fresh analysis of the influence of Hellenistic poetry on the city of Rome. Despite much technical work on the texts and language of these authors - Theocritus Callimachus Apollonius Rhodius and others - previous literary criticism on most of the major figures is limited in quantity and scope. He explores the work of the individual writers in turn while developing a general conception of the poetry as a whole centred around the poets' handling of tone level and form. The book concludes with a fresh approach to the influence of Hellenistic poets in Rome. All quotations in Greek or Latin have been translated by the author. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 392 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

William Heinemann & Harvard University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1961. Hardcover. 0674991273 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover Robert Brown. Corner creasing to a few pages. ; Loeb Classical Library No. 115; 367 pages; Ausonius Decimus Magnus ca. 310�ca. 395 CE a doctor's son was born at Burdigala Bordeaux. After a good education in grammar and rhetoric and a short period during which he was an advocate he took to teaching rhetoric in a school which he began in 334. Among his students was Paulinus who was afterwards Bishop of Nola; and he seems to have become some sort of Christian himself. Thirty years later Ausonius was called by Emperor Valentinian to be tutor to Gratian who subsequently as emperor conferred on him honours including a consulship in 379. In 383 after Gratian's murder Ausonius retired to Bordeaux. Ausonius's surviving works some with deep feeling some composed it seems for fun some didactic include much poetry: poems about himself and family notably "The Daily Round"; epitaphs on heroes in the Trojan War memorials on Roman emperors and epigrams on various subjects; poems about famous cities and about friends and colleagues. "The Moselle" a description of that river is among the most admired of his poems. There is also an address of thanks to Gratian for the consulship. The second volume includes Eucharisticus "Thanksgiving" by Paulinus Pellaeus. . William Heinemann & Harvard University Press hardcover

CLAUDIAN Volume I
William Heinemann & Harvard University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1956. Hardcover. 0674991508 . Light pencilling to a few pages. Corners a bit rounded. ; Loeb Classical Library; Vol. 1; 393 pages; Claudius Claudianus Latin poet of great affairs flourished during the joint reigns 394�5 CE onwards of the brothers Honorius Emperor in the West and Arcadius in the East. Apparently a native of Greek Alexandria in Egypt he was to judge by his name of Roman descent though his first writings were in Greek and his pure Latin may have been learned by him as a foreign language. About 395 CE he moved to Italy Milan and Rome and though really a pagan became a professional court-poet composing for Christian rulers works which give us important knowledge of Honorius's time. A panegyric on the brothers Probinus and Olybrius consuls together in 395 was followed during ten years by other poems mostly epics in hexameters : in praise of consulships of Honorius 395 398 404 CE ; against the Byzantine ministers Rufinus 396 and Eutropius 399 ; in praise of the consulship 400 of Stilicho Honorius's guardian general and minister ; in praise of Stilicho's wife Serena; mixed metres on the marriage of Honorius to their daughter Maria; on the war with the rebel Gildo in Africa 398 ; on the Getic or Gothic war 402 ; on Stilicho's success against the Goth Alaric 403 ; on the consulship of Manlius Theodorus 399 ; and on the wedding of Palladius and Celerina. Less important are non-official poems such as the three books of a mythological epic on the Rape of Proserpina unfinished as was also a Battle of Giants in Greek. Noteworthy are Phoenix Senex Veronensis elegiac prefaces and the epistles epigrams and idylls. Through the patronage of Stilicho or through Serena Claudius in 404 married well in Africa and was granted a statue in Rome. Nothing is known of him after 404. In his poetry are true poetic as well as rhetorical skill command of language polished style diversity vigour satire dignity bombast artificiality flattery and other virtues and faults of the earlier 'silver' age in Latin. .

THE BEST OF THE ACHAEANS Concepts of the Hero in Archaic Greek Poetry
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Very Good. 1981. Softcover. 0801823889 . Minor shelfwear. Scholar's blindstamp and name to half -title Robert Brown. Light edgewear to rear wrap and minor creasing. ; Despite widespread interest in the Greek hero as a cult figure little was written about the relationship between the cult practices and the portrayals of the hero in poetry. The first edition of The Best of the Achaeans bridged that gap raising new questions about what could be known or conjectured about Greek heroes. In this revised edition which features a new preface by the author Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent debate and resumes his discussion of the special status of heroes in ancient Greek life and poetry. His book remains an engaging introduction both to the concept of the hero in Hellenic civilization and to the poetic forms through which the hero is defined: the Iliad and Odyssey in particular and archaic Greek poetry in general. ; 392 pages .

University of Toronto Press Scholarly Publishing Division. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0802079415 . Faint creasing to spine. Light shelfwear. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; In this volume William S. Anderson sets Plautus who wrote Rome's earliest surviving poetry in his rightful place among the Greek and Roman writers of what we know as New Comedy fourth to second centuries. Anderson begins by defining major innovations that Plautus made on inherited Greek New Comedy Menander Philemon and Diphilus transforming it from romantic domestic drama to a celebration of rollicking family anarchy. He shows how Plautus diminished the traditional importance of love and replaced it with a new major theme: 'heroic badness' especially embodied in the rogue slave ancestor of the impudent servant valet or maid. Anderson then examines the unique verbal texture of Plautus' drama and demonstrates his revolt against realism his drive to have his characters defy everyday circumstances and pit their intrepid linguistic wit against social order their Roman extravagant impudence against Greek self-control. Finally Anderson explores the special form of metatheatre that we admire in Plautus by which he undermines the assumptions of his Greek models' and replaces them with a new confident Roman comedy. ; Robson Classical Lectures; 194 pages .

Bohec Yann Le
THE IMPERIAL ROMAN ARMY
B. T. Batsford. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0713471662 . Book is fine. DJ is price-clipped. ; The Emperor Augustus believed that the Roman army occupied a crucial place at the heart of the empire and it was he who made it a fully professional force. This book looks at the structure and development of the army between the Republic and the Late Empire examining why the army has always been accorded such a prominent position in the history of the Roman Empire and whether that view is justified. The book is divided into three sections. The author first examines the major divisions of army organization - the legions the auxiliary units the fleet - and how the men were recruited. Secondly he looks at what the army did - the training tactics and strategy. Finally he considers the historical role of the army - how it fitted into Roman society of which it was only part and what influence it had economically and politically. In exploring these themes the author gives equal weight to epigraphic documentary and archaeological evidence. With tables summarizing detailed information Yann Le Bohec provides a synthesis of current knowledge of the Roman army from the first to the third century AD putting it in its context as part of the state structure of the Roman Empire. ; 9.75 x 1.25 x 6.75 Inches; 304 pages .
