DJ has minor shelfwear. ; 288 pages; This remains the major book on Aeschylus' Supplices, its dating and the trilogy to which it belonged. Its first appearance, in 1969, was a response to the publication of a papyrus fragment from Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, which indicated a late production date (the 460s BC) for Aeschylus' play. This upset the previous consensus that it was the earliest Greek tragedy to survive: there was, Garvie argued, no longer good reason to suppose that the play belonged to an early stage in its author's development. The book also examines the evidence for reconstruction of the other, lost plays of the trilogy. Garvie remains convinced that, even without the additional testimony of the papyrus, all the internal from the text of the play points to the 460s, though some have tried to pull it back to the 470s because it feels like an early play. Some of the salutary lessons to be drawn from the discovery of the papyrus have still to be learnt.

1993Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ spine sunned. ; 168 pages; This book opens a neglected chapter in the reception of Athenian drama, especially comedy, and gives center stage to a particularly attractive and entertaining series of vase-paintings which have generally been regarded as marginal curiosities. These are the so-called "phylax vases," nearly all painted in Greek cities of South Italy in the period 400 to 360 B. C. Until now, they have been taken to reflect a sort of local folk-theater, but Taplin argues that most, if not all, reflect Athenian comedy of the sort represented by Aristophanes. His bold thesis brings up questions about the relation of tragedy as well as comedy to vase painting, the cultural climate of the Greek cities in Italy, and the extent to which Athenians were aware of drama as a potential "export." It also enriches appreciation of many key aspects of Aristophanic comedy. The book has assembled 47 photographs of vase-paintings, many printed here for the first time outside specialist publications not readily accessible.

Geoffrey Arnott; The date and purpose of the Philopatris By Barry Baldwin; Yale Classical Studies Volume XXVII; 344 pages; During the 1980s papyrology celebrates its centenary as a branch of classical studies. Today's state of the art is reflected in the volume's contents which include editions and reeditions of texts, and papers in the many areas of classical antiquity in which our knowledge has been so immeasurably enriched by the discovery and decipherment of Greek and Latin papyri, viz. Language, government, social and economic history, law, private life. Some of the papers also have interdisciplinary ramifications, and the international cooperation that has characterised papyrology from its inception is here readily apparent in the names, languages and affiliations of the contributors.
1986Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor Foxing to DJ. ; Greeks divided the world into Greece vs. The land of foreigners, into Hellenes vs. Barbarians, seeing their country as a bastion of culture, learning, and military might surrounded by a sea of the uncivilized. Long shows how comedy expressed the Greek feeling of superiority over the barbarians, how it dealt with the so-called barbarian-Hellene antithesis. The result is a contribution to the study of ancient Greek comedy—both the comedy itself and the beliefs, the prejudices, the limitations, and the variety in the society from which the plays emerged. The comedians’ responses to the barbarians ranged from idealization to neutrality to raw racism. Although contemptuous of barbarians, the Hellenes could not keep elements of foreign culture from entering their own. Long’s major contention is that the Greek reaction to Oriental and other foreign influence can be seen in the treatment of barbarians in Greek comedy. ; 240 pages

DJ spine a bit browned. ; In an effort to remove the plays of ancient Greece from the library and place them firmly in the theatre that gave them being, this study examines each component of the plays - audience, chorus, actors, costume and speech - in the context of its own society and of theatre in general. Peter Arnott discusses Greek drama not as an antiquarian study but as a living art form. He removes the plays from the library and places them firmly in the theatre that gave them being. Invoking the practical realities of stagecraft, he illuminates the literary patterns of the plays, the performance disciplines, and the audience responses. Each component of the productions - audience, chorus, actors, costume, speech - is examined in the context of its own society and of theatre practice in general, with examples from other cultures. Professor Arnott places great emphasis on the practical staging of Greek plays, and how the buildings themselves imposed particular constraints on actors and writers alike. Above all, he sets out to make practical sense of the construction of Greek plays, and their organic relationship to their original setting. ; 147 pages
