‎OUT OF LINE Homeric Composition Beyond the Hexameter‎

‎Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0847686973 . Very light shelfwear ; Building upon the groundbreaking work of Milman Parry and Albert Lord "Out of Line" presents a new theory of Homeric composition focusing upon patterns that extend beyond the boundary of the line and the clause. Matthew Clark takes enjambment as a starting point analyzing the techniques used by the poet to complete a line that begins with a runover. Clark proceeds to propose two levels of analysis a "deep-structure" level which describes the associations of words and ideas before they take metrical form and a "surface-structure" level which describes the words as they are employed on any particular occasion. "Out of Line" combines formulaic and metrical analysis expanding the study of Homeric meter both in practice by taking into account larger compositional structures such as entire scenes and in theory by using the results to test models of formulaic composition. This book is important for students and scholars of Homer epic and oral literature. ; 0.83 x 9.29 x 6.19 Inches; 264 pages . Rowman & Littlefield Publishers hardcover‎

‎PLOT AND POINT OF VIEW IN THE ILIAD‎

‎University of Michigan Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472107682 . Light discoloration to spine. Light edgewear to one corner of DJ. ; Plot and Point of View in the Iliad argues that Homer the poet of the Iliad may be fully distinguished from the narrator of Homeric poetry who is the Muse and also from the heroes and heroines who live within the world of the story. The Iliad is a poem with a particularly rich and complex structure of perspectives and as point of view as an element of storytelling has garnered tremendous interest in this century critical attention has taken up this question in relation to Homer's poem. Robert Rabel argues that in different ways both the Muse-narrator and the poet manipulate point of view in order to discover and define the meaning of the Iliad placing various ways of thinking in competing and complementary relationships with one another. In the process the Muse-narrator produces a sophisticated and compelling analysis of the tragic limitations of life in accordance with the heroic ethic. In the end the poet provides a demonstration of the extent to which reality can only be grasped and apprehended in epic poetry through images that are constructed from various individual perspectives. This volume will be of interest to students of comparative and classical literature philosophers and readers of Homeric epic. All Greek passages are translated and discussions of technical language are kept to a minimum. ; 1.04 x 9.31 x 6.34 Inches; 251 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover‎

‎Ares Publishers Inc. Fine with no dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. 0890053014 . Exact Reprint of the Tetypeset original 1809 Chicago 1930 ARES PUBLISHERS INC. In his school edict Julian prohibits Christian teachers from using pagan scripts e. G. The Illias that formed the core of Roman education. This was an attempt to remove some of the power of Christian schools by alienating their students from Roman society not to mention a satirical attack at what Julian may have viewed as a hypocrisy: Christian schools teaching the Bible as the sole source of knowledge while simultaneously teaching classical pagan texts as well knowledge of which was needed for success in Roman society. In his tolerance edict of 362 Julian decreed the reopening of pagan temples the restitution of alienated temple properties and called back Christian bishops that were exiled by church edicts. The latter was an instance of tolerance of different religious views but may also have been an attempt by Julian to widen a schism between different Christian sects further weakening the Christian movement as a whole. ; 8.25 x 0.5 x 5.5 Inches; 119 pages .

‎RELIGIONS OF LATE ANTIQUITY IN PRACTICE‎

‎Princeton University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0691057508 . Bottom corners are lightly bumped otherwise Fine condition. ; This is an unprecedented collection of nearly seventy Late Antique primary religious texts. These texts--all in new English translation and many appearing in English for the first time--represent every major religious current from the late first century until the rise of Islam. Produced through the efforts of thirty-six leading scholars in the field they constitute a comprehensive view of religious practice in Late Antiquity. Religious life and performance during this period comprised diverse often unusual practices. Philosophical ascent magic legal pronouncement hymnography dietary and sexual restriction and rhetoric were all part of this deeply fascinating world. Religious and political identity often intertwined as reflected in the Roman persecution of Christians. And a fluid boundary between religion and superstition was contested in daily life. Many practices including ascetic training crossed religious boundaries. Others such as "incubation" at specific temples and certain divination rites were distinctive practices of individual groups and orders. Intrinsically interesting the practice of religion in the Late Antique also edifies modern-day religious life. As this volume shows the origins of the contemporary Western religious terrain can be gleaned in this period. Rabbinic Judaism flourished and spread. Christianity developed still-important theological categories and structures. And even movements that did not survive intact--such as Neoplatonism and the once-powerful Manichaean churches--continue to influence religion today. This rich sourcebook includes discussions of asceticism religious organization ritual martyrdom religion's social implications law and theology. Its unique emphasis on practice and its inclusion of texts translated from lesser-known languages advance the study of religious history in several directions. A strong interdisciplinary orientation will reward scholars and students of religion theology gender studies classical literatures and history. Each text is accompanied by an introduction and a bibliography for further reading and research making the book appropriate for use in any university or seminary classroom. ; 1.32 x 9.56 x 6.54 Inches; 527 pages .

These though very different from our own have nevertheless greatly influenced modern thinking especially during the early centuries of our modern literatures. Poets like Pindar Aristophanes and Horace philosophers like Plato aristotle and Philodemus orators like Cicero and Quintilian literary scholars like Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Longinus all these have left us records of their various points of view.
