1987rif. 37250Croom Helm. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Hardcover. Light Bmp to head of spine. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Else Minor shelfwear. DJ has minor shelfwear.; Interpretations of Greek Mythology first published in1987 builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the ‘Paris school’ of Jean-Pierre Vernant and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes – Oedipus Orpheus Narcissus – reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth.; 294 pages; The volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. The book's organizing theme is a recurrent Greek dialectic between ideas of poetry as on the one hand a powerfully enthralling experience in its own right a kind of 'ecstasy' and on the other a medium for the expression of truths which can exercise lasting influence on its audiences' views of the world. Citing a wide range of modern scholarship and making frequent connections with later periods of literary theory and aesthetics Halliwell questions many orthodoxies and received opinions about the texts analysed. The resulting perspective casts new light on ways in which the Greeks attempted to make sense of the psychology of poetic experience - including the roles of emotion ethics imagination and knowledge - in the life of their culture . 1987. 0709932707 .

1988rif. 37326Routledge. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. First Edition. Hardcover. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear Scholar's name to ffep Bonnie Maclachlan née Ward.; 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

DJ has 1 tiny tear 1 cm and faint edgewear.; In the sixth century B. C. Pherekydes of Syros the reputed teacher of Pythagoras and a contemporary of Thales and Anaximander wrote a book about the birth of the gods and the origin of the cosmos.
