Calame, Claude & (Daniel W. Berman, Trans. )
MYTH AND HISTORY IN ANCIENT GREECE The Symbolic Creation of a Colony
Book is fine. DJ has light shelfwear with a few small scratches. ; Xvii, 178pp. Surely the ancient Greeks would have been baffled to see what we consider their "mythology." Here, Claude Calame mounts a powerful critique of modern-day misconceptions on this front and the lax methodology that has allowed them to prevail. He argues that the Greeks viewed their abundance of narratives not as a single mythology but as an "archaeology." They speculated symbolically on key historical events so that a community of believing citizens could access them efficiently, through ritual means. Central to the book is Calame's rigorous and fruitful analysis of various accounts of the foundation of that most "mythical" of the Greek colonies--Cyrene, in eastern Libya. Calame opens with a magisterial historical survey demonstrating today's misapplication of the terms "myth" and "mythology." Next, he examines the Greeks' symbolic discourse to show that these modern concepts arose much later than commonly believed. Having established this interpretive framework, Calame undertakes a comparative analysis of six accounts of Cyrene's foundation: three by Pindar and one each by Herodotus (in two different versions) , Callimachus, and Apollonius of Rhodes. We see how the underlying narrative was shaped in each into a poetically sophisticated, distinctive form by the respective medium, a particular poetical genre, and the specific socio-historical circumstances. Calame concludes by arguing in favor of the Greeks' symbolic approach to the past and by examining the relation of mythos to poetry and music. ; 178 pages

WILAMOWITZ UND KEIN ENDE Wissenschaftsgeschichtliches Kolloquium, Fondation Hardt, 9. Bis 13. September 2002. William M. Calder III Zum 70. Geburtstag Von Freunden Und Schülern.
Gift inscription to W. J. Slater from Calder III to titlepage. Very minor shelfwear. Light wear to back upper corner. ; Die Festschrift vereinigt die Vorträge amerikanischer und deutscher Wissenschaftler, die anläßlich des 70. Geburtstags William M. Calders III (Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois) im September 2002 auf einem Kolloquium in der Fondation Hardt (Vandœuvres/Genf) gehalten wurden. Zu Ehren des Jubilars, der sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten um die Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Altertumskunde international anerkannte Verdienste erworben hat, war dieses Kolloquium dem großen deutschen Gräzisten Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931) gewidmet. Die Vielfalt wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Fragestellungen spiegelt sich in den Beiträgen wider: Während sich die einen mit Wilamowitz' Forschungen über antike Schriftsteller, wie Sophokles, Aristophanes, Seneca und die Autoren des griechischen Romans, und mit seiner Arbeit über unterschiedlichste Bereiche antiker Kultur, etwa die Astrologie, das griechisch-römische Drama und die attische Demokratie, beschäftigen, erhellt ein anderer, welche allgemeine Bedeutung für die Kultur und Bildung des 19. Jahrhunderts Wilamowitz dem Griechischen zumaß. Weitere Studien sind hingegen von biographischem und historischem Interesse und gelten z. B. Seiner Haltung zu Meinungsfreiheit und politischer Zensur. Nicht zuletzt werden in diesem Band wichtige Originaldokumente erstmals ediert, so der umfängliche Briefwechsel zwischen Wilamowitz und dem Altertumswissenschaftler Franz Boll. ; Spudasmata Band 92; 324 pages; Signed by One Author

Calder III, William M. ; R. Scott Smith (ed.)
THEATROKRATIA Collected Papers on the Politics and Staging of Greco-Roman Tragedy
Gift inscription to W. J. Slater from Calder III to ffep. Very minor shelfwear. A couple of corrections in pen done in author's hand to 2 pages. ; The volume gathers for the first time thirty-five scattered articles by Calder published 1958-1998 concerned with the political content of selected tragedies and their staging from Thespis to Seneca. An historian seeks to see tragedies in context, whether Pericles’ Athens or Nero’s Rome. He regularly contests the opinio communis. Eumenides protests against Periclean reform. Zeus in Prometheus is the tyrant Demos. Kreon not Antigone is the hero of Antigone. Neoptolemos in Philoctetes is a clever deceiver from the start. Sophocles Oinomaos was the inspiration of the East Pediment at Olympia. Atreus in Seneca’s Thyestes is the model whom Nero is urged to follow. The usual size of the Senecan chorus was three, never fifteen. Thespis’ chorus was six. A careful index locorum antiquorum ends the volume and makes the material easily accessible. ; Spudasmata Band 104; 431 pages; Signed by Author

Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ has light edgewear. ; 416 pages; This edition presents and examines in detail the Hecale of Callimachus, perhaps the most brilliant, imaginative, and enjoyable example of Greek poetry in Ptolemaic Alexandria. Set in Attica and full of local color, the poem describes how the hero Theseus was entertained by an old woman, Hecale, on the night before he captured the monstrous bull at Marathon. Drawing on important new discoveries, this edition contains the most complete and up-to-date collection of texts and testimonia on the Hecale and discusses allusions to and imitations of the poem in later Greek and Latin poetry.

CALLIMACHUS: THE FIFTH HYMN Edited with Introduction and Commentary.
Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ has light edgewear. Dustjacket spine is sunned. ; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 26; 284 pages; Callimachus was one of the most important and influential writers in the ancient world. He was the outstanding poet of the Hellenistic period and had a profound effect on the subsequent course of Greek and Roman literature. The hymns are intricate, allusive and difficult poetry, and need elucidation for the modern reader. 'The Fifth Hymn: The Bath of Pallas', is considered by many to be Callimachus' finest surviving poem. Anthony Bulloch has established a new text of the poem, which is printed here with facing English translation. The substantial introduction and full commentary aim to introduce the poem to a wide audience and to help the modern reader to reconstruct what the ancient reader may have taken for granted as part of the crucial and intellectual background and to achieve an informed and sensitive appreciation of the poem in its full perspective. This will be welcomed by Greek scholars and those interested in Greek and Roman poetry.

CALLIMACHUS AND HIS CRITICS
Book has very light shelfwear. Scholar's small bookplate to ffep (R. E. Fantham). Small faint stain to textblock. Minor shelfwear. ; Callimachus has usually been seen as the archetypal ivory-tower poet, the epitome if not the inventor of the concept of art for art's sake, author of erudite works written to be read in book form by fellow poets and scholars. However, there is much evidence to suggest a different story: a world of civic festivals rather than books and libraries, a world in which poetry and poets played a central and public role. In the course of the argument, Cameron casts fresh light on the lives, dates, works and inter-relationships of most of the other leading poets of the age. Another axiom of modern scholarship is that the object of Callimachus's literary polemic was epic. Yet Cameron aims to show that the thriving school of epic poets celebrating the wars of Hellenistic kings that has so dominated modern study never existed. Elegy was the fashionable genre of the age and the bone of contention between Callimachus and his rivals (all fellow elegists) was the nature of elegaic narrative. A final chapter sketches some of the implications of this revised view of Callimachus and his world for the interpretation of Roman, especially Augustan, poetry. ; 533 pages
