Corners lightly bumped. DJ has tears to base of spine with small section lifting.; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 11; 262 pages; An exhaustive study of Claudian's unfinished mythological epic with a text apparatus criticus and commentary. The long introduction begins with a catalogue of manuscripts; and this leads to an investigation into the manuscript tradition and the history of the poem's transmission. Dr Hall then surveys the most important printed editions of the poem. He examines various theories of dating and discusses the sources of the story. He concludes the introduction with a brief critical assessment of the form and style of the poem. Dr Hall establishes his text after an examination of all the extant manuscripts. The apparatus though very full is selective in that it records readings of younger manuscripts only when they offer something new. It also ignores trifling corruptions. The commentary is similarly selective. In general it discusses everything relevant to the establishing of the text and ignores points of purely mythological and literary interest. . 1969. 0521074428 . Cambridge University Press hardcover
2004rif. 14540Ferdinand Schöningh. Very Good. Softcover. Light rubbing to wraps. Some pencil marginalia to text by R. E. Fantham. Minor shelfwear.; Wohl kaum ein anderer Mythenkomplex griechischen Ursprungs übte auf Rom eine solche Faszination aus wie die Geschichte von den Pelopiden. Welche Bedeutung man dem Thema beigemessen hat bezeugen die zahlreichen Tragödien mit dem Titel Atreus oder Thyestes in deren Zentrum der den sittlichen Tiefpunkt des Geschlechtes markierende Frevel der coena Thyestea stand. Die Untersuchung geht den Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen nach die den außergewöhnlichen Erfolg gerade dieses Mythos ermöglichten. Es zeigt sich dass die große ideologische Aussagekraft die der Mythos im Verständnis des römischen Publikums entfaltete auf die ganz spezifische Gestalt zurückzuführen ist welche der Tragiker Accius dem Stoff in mehreren seiner Dramen verliehen hat.; Studien Zur Geschichte Und Kultur Des Altertums Neue Folge 1.

2005rif. 12188Brill. Near Fine with no dust jacket. Hardcover. Gift inscription to R. E. Fantham from author on ffep includes tipped-in note from author. Dust-soiling to one small area of textblock.; This book analyses the mythical and legendary narratives in Ovid's Fasti as narrative and concentrates on the neglected literary aspects of these stories. It combines traditional tools of literary criticism with more modern techniques taken especially from narratology and intertextuality. From a narratological viewpoint it covers important features such as aperture closure characterization internal narrators description space time and cinematic technique. On the intertextual level it examines the narratives' complex relationship with Virgil Livy and Ovid's own earlier works. Recent criticism on the Fasti has addressed various elements religious historical political astronomical etc. but detailed narrative study has been wanting. This book fills that gap to provide a more informed and balanced appreciation of this multifaceted poem aimed at classicists and literary critics in general for whom all the Latin is translated.; Mnemosyne: Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 306 pages; Signed by Author . 2005. 9004143203 .

Small chip to one corner of DJ. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Writing in pencil to front DJ flap.; 236 pages; In antiquity a considerable number of books of prophecies went under the general title of "Sibylline Oracles". Rulers as significant as Augustus consulted them in time of danger or crisis for advice and prognoses. Increasing numbers of "ex post facto" prophecies laying a particular interpretation on facts of recent history came to be attributed to one of the mysterious Sibyls. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Cumaean Sibyl who guides the hero in the sixth book of Vergil's "Aeneid" . In fact she was somewhat unusual in her similiarity to other oracular prophetesses such as the Pythia. For where the latter prophesied in response to particular inquirers one of the distinguishing characteristics of Sibyls was that they composed discursive verses for distribution to the world at large. This Professor Parke's last book which was virtually complete on his death in 1986 is an account of a subject both rarely treated in recent decades and difficult to access for all but the most expert. In its pursuit of the sometimes elusive Sibyls it ranges from Heraclitus to Eusebius from Archaic Asia Minor to Christian Rome. This book should be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates and academics of classics. . 1988. 0415003431 . Routledge hardcover

Textblock is foxed.; 265 pages; What relationship if any do the stories preserved in ancient Greek legendary traditions have to real events and circumstances of the periods and places to which they ostensibly refer A wide range of answers to this question is to be found in the works of both popular and scholarly writers not only where it has been debated explicitly but also -and more frequently- where some kind of answer seems to be presupposed in the course of their general discussions of Greek literature and history. The present book sets out to study the development and interpretation of a substantial group of Greek legends associated with one well-known figure who was said to have originated in the East. . 1979. 9025607969 .

Very light shelfwear else Fine.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage Pawb Band 34; 532 pages; English summary: The ability to translate the inner world of ideas into image displays is one of the original human characteristics. The figments of imagination translated into the communicative sphere as images represent not only external forms but also memories conveyed fears hopes or other emotions. This is especially true as it pertains to religion. But what image of God did the majority of Greeks of the ancient world hold and what were their godly images The book by Peter Eich focuses on the prevailing ideas that religious image production held in Greece as well as on the community-building function of religious images over the course of time. Contemporary testimonies are fully investigated and reinterpreted in their idiom and their contexts of meaning. German text. German description: Die Fahigkeit die innere Vorstellungswelt in Bilddarstellungen umzusetzen gehort zu den ursprunglichen menschlichen Eigenschaften. Die aus der Vorstellung in die kommunikative Sphare ubersetzten Bilder reproduzieren nicht nur aussere Formen sondern verankern auch Erinnerungen oder transportieren Angste Hoffnungen oder andere Emotionen. Dies gilt besonders auf dem Gebiet der Religion. Doch welches Gottesbild hatte die Mehrheit der Griechen der Antike und was waren Gotterbilder fur sieDas Buch von Peter Eich konzentriert sich auf die in Hellas vorherrschenden Vorstellungen die die religiose Bildproduktion bedingten und die gemeinschaftsstiftende Funktion sakraler Bilder im Wandel der Zeit. Dazu werden die Aussagen der Zeitgenossen in ihrem Idiom und in ihren Sinnzusammenhangen umfassend untersucht und mit Hilfe eines verbreiterten Methodenkanons neu gedeutet. . 2011. 3515098550 .
