HORACE: ODES AND EPODES
Oxford University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 0199207690 . Very minor shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; Oxford Readings in Classical Studies; 472 pages; This collection of recent articles provides convenient access to some of the best recent writing on Horace's Odes and Epodes. Formalist structuralist and historicizing approaches alike offer insight into this complex poet who reinvented lyric at the transition from the Republic to the Augustan principate. Several classic studies in French German and Italian are here translated into English for the first time. A thread linking many of the pieces is the recurring debate over the performance of Horace's Odes. Fiction Literal reality A figurative appropriation of Greek tradition within the bookish culture of late Hellenism Arguments both for and against gain a hearing. Michele Lowrie's introduction surveys the state of current scholarship and offers guidance on the seminal issues confronting the interpretation of Horatian lyric today. Suggestions for further reading and a consolidated bibliography open avenues for more extensive research. . Oxford University Press hardcover

Clodius and Milo: more equals than opposites; A comparison of Saturninus and Glaucia Drusus and Sulpicius Clodius and Milo. ; 221 pages; The reputations of a great many figures in history have been established by chance and opportunity: a single victory on the battlefield a political triumph in domestic affairs. This statement is equally applicable for that century between 146 and 31 BC which today is usually designated the Late Roman Republic. On the basis of often rather meagre facts reputations have been constructed and as a result whole careers became mythologised by later writers even in antiquity. The main aim of this volume is to question certain reputations in order to place into a more realistic historical context the subjects under discussion. . Unisa Press paperback

AN HISTORICAL COMMENTARY ON THE HELLENICA OXYRHYNCHIA
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1967. Hardcover. 0521043522 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. DJ is price-clipped. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 190 pages; Commentaries on the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia an anonymous history of events in the Greek world in the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC have usually dealt almost entirely with problems of the text. In this book Dr Bruce has written an historical commentary basing his work on both the London and Florence papyri which between them provide all the surviving fragments of the text. Dr Bruce begins with a brief description of the two papyri. He then discusses the Oxyrhynchus historian's style and method - his sources chronology bias interest in causation etc. The introduction ends with a r�sum� of the numerous theories of the author's identity Dr Bruce favours either Cratippus or an author not known to us by name at all. The main part of the commentary is arranged in the form of notes on the sections of the Greek text with occasional detailed notes on particular words or phrases. There are appendices on the Battle of Sardis and the Constitution of Boeotia; and the book concludes with a full biography. Dr Bruce's book is a complete guide available for further historical study of the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia. . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Rowe Greg
PRINCES AND POLITICAL CULTURES The New Tiberian Senatorial Decrees
University of Michigan Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. 0472112309 . 208 pages; In 29 B. C. Augustus celebrated a triple triumph flanked by his nephew Marcellus and his stepson Tiberius. This event is the first attested example of the systematic promotion of young men as potential imperial successors. This practice enabled Augustus to establish the rule not of one man but of a dynastic house with a collective identity. This study built around the senate's funeral honors for Germanicus the Tabula Siarensis and its proceedings against his alleged murderer the senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre examines Augustus's transformation of the Roman state to a dynastic monarchy. Covering the period from the reign of Augustus to Claudius's installation Rowe demonstrates how dynastic monarchy turned citizens into subjects. Stepping back from personalities and politics to consider institutions and the values underpinning them Rowe examines six key constituencies of the new order: the Roman senate the equestrian order the urban plebs colonies Greek cities and the legions. Focusing on each group's deliberative and expressive institutions he paints a coherent picture of early imperial culture revealing the transition from formal to informal decision making and individual ascendancy over collective institutions. Rowe uses these findings to explain ostensible loyalism and the uniformity of imperial ideology. Texts translations and discussions of the major inscriptions of the period�both Greek and Latin�are provided. . University of Michigan Press hardcover

Williams Carolyn D.
POPE HOMER AND MANLINESS Some Aspects of Eighteenth-Century Classical Learning
Routledge. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0415056004 . 240 pages; The conflict between masculine and feminine values in 18th century classical learning is problematic and controversial. In this book Pope's Homer becomes a richly complex focus for new gendered explorations into the nature of the masculine "rule". As the subject of this gendered reading Pope's Homer emerges as the fissured relic of a struggle to preserve masculine dignity from the encroachments of feminine characters and values within the text and of female readers and critics. This text brings a fresh viewpoint and much detailed research on classical and early modern literature to bear on gender studies' central issues revealing that "masculinity" must here be seen not as an absolute standard but as the product of unceasing conflict between competing and unstable models. . Routledge hardcover
