GRAMMAR OF THE GOTHIC LANGUAGE And the Gospel of St. Mark Selections from the Other Gospels and the Second Epistle to Timothy with Notes and Glossary
Oxford Clarendon Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1962. Second Edition. Hardcover. Minor shelfwear. Very minor bump to base of spine. ; 383 pages; The author of several Old English and Old High German primers and grammars Joseph Wright wrote the present book as an alternative to revising his earlier Gothic Primer for a third edition. The Grammar provides a comprehensive knowledge of Gothic and understanding of comparative Germanic grammar essential to anyone studying the ancient Germanic languages. By way of readings the book provides the Greek texts of the gospels of St matthew Chapter VI and St. Luke Chapter XV along with the Gothic translations by Ulfilas AD 311-383 bishop of the Goths. Interesting for students of comparative philology. A knowledge of Gothic is indispensable to students of the oldest periods of other Germanic languages this book will be of interest to students whose interests are mainly philological and linguistic. This Grammar provides a comprehensive knowledge of Gothic and an understanding of comparative Germanic grammar. If Wulfila had not translated the very Bible into Gothic we wouldn't have today any tangible hint of the existence of this early Germanic language. . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

SOPHOCLES An Interpretation
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1980. Softcover. 0521296846 . Spine a little creased. Light shelfwear. Tiny chip to top edge of front wrap. Scholar's blindstamp to half-title. ; 0.94 x 8.82 x 5.91 Inches; 358 pages; In this interpretation of the seven extant tragedies of Sophocles Professor Winnington-Ingram provides not so much a straightforward account of Sophocles as an exploration of his tragic vision of the world. The Sophoclean hero lies at the centre of this vision. Taking the plays individually but without losing sight of the single consistent mind behind them the author faces the questions of how the hero is to be regarded what we are to make of the fates he suffered and the divine powers who controlled those fates. He proceeds by a detailed study of what Sophocles wrote by close attention to form and recurrent themes and especially by close analysis of a number of choral odes. Students of Greek drama will find that this detailed study provides invaluable insights into the meaning of the tragedies. Greek in the text is translated or paraphrased so that the book will also be of interest to students of the literature and drama of other cultures. . Cambridge University Press paperback

ANCIENT GREEK WOMEN IN FILM
Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 0199678928 . This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these female figures are resurrected on the big screen by different filmmakers during different historical moments and are therefore embedded within a narrative which serves various purposes depending on the director of the film its screenwriters the studio the country of its origin and the sociopolitical context at the time of its production. Using a diverse array of hermeneutic approaches such as gender theory feminist criticism psychoanalysis viewer-response theory and personal voice criticism the essays aim to cast light on cinema's investments in the classical past and decode the mechanisms whereby the women under examination are extracted from their original context and are brought to life to serve as vehicles for the articulation of modern ideas concerns and cultural trends. The volume thus aims to investigate not only how antiquity on the screen depicts and in this process distorts compresses contests and revises antiquity on the page but also more crucially why the medium follows such eclectic representational strategies vis-a-vis the classical world. ; Classical Presences; 400 pages .

ROLE MODELS IN THE ROMAN WORLD Identity and Assimilation
University of Michigan Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2008. Hardcover. 0472115898 . Very faint wear to book and DJ. ; "The tendency of ancient Romans to look to mythical and historical figures for role models is everywhere evident in their surviving literary and material culture. This book broadens the horizon of the long-standing scholarly interest in role models in several ways looking beyond the more familiar famous heroes---such as Achilles and Alexander the Great---and the paternal figures both mythological and historical that gave inspiration to later leaders and authors. From the adoption of specific aspects of a favored role model to the creation of new visual languages for different social groups to the deliberate counter of common models this collection demonstrates the importance of exemplary figures in inspiring imitation and assimilation in the creation of new identities. Featuring world-renowned scholars and essays from a broad range of fields including literature art and historiography Role Models in the Roman World is a groundbreaking collection at the cusp of the newest scholarship of the classical world.
