‎CHALLENGES TO THE POWER OF ZEUS IN EARLY GREEK POETRY‎

‎Scratches to back panel of DJ else fine. ; 192 pages; In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy. However, scattered and scanty though they may be, there are allusions to threats of rebellion which challenge Zeus' supremacy. This book examines these passages, drawn from Homer, Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns, to offer some new interpretations. While focusing on the theme of cosmic/divine strife, it becomes clear that hints of lost legends underlie these texts. Tracing their hidden logic helps to improve our understanding of early Greek poetry.‎

History, philosophy, ethnography, political theory, linguistics, and literary criticism all involve debates about discourse and presentation.

‎APOLLONIUS' ARGONAUTICA A Callimachean Epic‎

‎Scholars' large bookplate to ffep (John H. Betts). Else book is fine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear. Small strip of back panel has lightly browned. ; The "Argonautica" was said to have been the source of a quarrel between Apollonius, who wrote what looks like an epic poem, and Callimachus, who denounced the writing of epic poetry. Although the quarrel did not take place in the real world, its issue controls the poem. The heroes are determined to take part in a Homeric epic, which the Callimachean narrator refuses to write. Drawing on the methods of modern literary theorists but eschewing the jargon, DeForest shows how Apollonius uses the literary dispute in Alexandria to give a three-dimensional quality to his poem. The amusing conflict between heroes and narrator turns serious when the levels of narrative split apart and Medea steps into the gap as a free-standing figure, the forerunner of powerful women in fiction. ; Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 160 pages‎

‎CLASSICAL CONSTRUCTIONS Papers in Memory of Don Fowler, Classicist and Epicurean‎

‎2 light bumps along upper edge of boards else fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; Classical Constructions is a collection of ground-breaking and scholarly papers on Latin literature by a number of distinguished Classicists, produced in memory of Don Fowler, who died in 1999 at the age of 46. The authors were all inspired by the desire to commemorate a beloved colleague and friend and have produced papers of great freshness and insight. The essays, including that by Don Fowler himself, are much concerned with the reception of the classical world, extending into the realms of modern philosophy, art history, and cultural studies. There are fundamental studies of Horace's style and Ovid's exile. The volume is unusual in the informality of the style of a number of pieces, and the openness with which the contributors have reminisced about the honorand and reflected on his early death. ; 300 pages‎

‎READING VIRGIL AND HIS TEXTS Studies in Intertextuality‎

‎1 corner bumped. Minor shelfwear. Light pencil marginalia to a couple of pages. DJ has some minor creasing. ; There has long been vital interest in the ways that texts affect each other--through translation, imitation, parody, and other forms of emulation and subversion. Throughout the last two millennia, the Virgilian text has created its own intertextual heritage, persisting in the works of Eliot, Frost, Lowell, and Heaney. Richard F. Thomas's new volume demonstrates that such control and manipulation of the inherited tradition is to be found with great intensity in the very author who, in turn, created his own complex tradition. The articles and notes included in this volume have been selected for their diachronic aspect in addition to the synchronic status they had in their original context. Dealing with the intricate ways in which Virgil, and in the introductory chapter his predecessor Catullus, manipulated and appropriated their inherited Greek and Roman literary tradition, this book presents a coherent profile, through these detailed studies, of the mechanics of one of the most dynamic periods in the literary history of any culture. Richard Thomas--one of the most important voices in Latin literary studies today--shows little anxiety about objections to authorial intentionality. Throughout there is a working assumption that intertextual connections can be established and, further, that functions and purposes, even intended ones, may be inferred from those connections. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Greek and Latin literature but will also be of great value to students of medieval, Renaissance, and early modern vernacular literatures, most of whose poets see themselves as closely connected to Virgil. ; 360 pages‎

‎Very light bump to base of spine else fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Syssitia: Studien Zur Geschichte Und Kultur Spartas Und Zur Sparta-Rezeption. Band I; 322 pages; Die homerischen Epen bezeugen die ältesten Ratsgremien, deren Mitglieder Geronten genannt werden. Sparta ist die Heimat des berühmtesten Ältestenrats, der Gerusie. Trotz ihrer Bedeutung sind diese Gremien in der Forschung bisher eher am Rande behandelt worden, so dass stimmige Theorien über ihr Verhältnis ein Desiderat darstellen. Das vorliegende Buch nimmt sich dieses Problems an, indem es die homerischen Räte und die spartanische Gerusie untersucht und miteinander vergleicht. Die Analyse dieser Gremien und ihrer Geschichte bietet auch Aufschluss über den Charakter der homerischen Gesellschaft und die Genese der spartanischen Gerusie.‎
