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.

Book is fine.; Classici sono quei testi capaci di originare riscritture e riconoscibili come modelli di altre espressioni letterarie o artistiche. Questo fenomeno di geminazione è particolarmente vistoso per l’Edipo re di Sofocle e l’Edipo di Seneca la cui ricezione è un labirinto fitto e mutevole ricco di contaminazioni e di reticoli intertestuali in cui lo stesso esercizio critico entra a far parte del processo di riscrittura. Il volume comprende 19 contributi: un ampio saggio introduttivo su alcuni particolari temi e morfemi del mito lungo tutta la sua tradizione; 6 contributi dedicati ai due testi antichi fondativi della tradizione edipica; ed infine 12 capitoli incentrati sull'analisi - senza pretese di esaustività - delle diverse tradizioni letterarie teatrali visive e cinematografiche della fortuna di Edipo lungo una dimensione cronologica e geografica che muove dalle prime riprese nella cultura europea dei secoli XVI e XVII fino alla contemporaneità. In chiusura la testimonianza di Edoardo Sanguineti straordinario interprete del teatro classico e dei classici più in generale che ha tradotto a suo modo un Edipo tiranno messo in scena nel 1980 da Benno Besson.; Spudasmata Band 149; 450 pages . 3487148722 .

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. . 3515098550 .

200233744Cambridge University Press. 2002. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Minor pencil marginalia to some pages by Jenifer Neils.; Stories take time to tell; Greek and Roman artists had to convey them in static images. How did they go about it How could they ensure that their scenes would be recognized What problems did they have How did they solve them This generously illustrated book explores the ways classical artists portrayed a variety of myths. It explains how formulas were devised for certain stories; how these inventions could be adapted developed and even transferred to other myths; how one myth could be distinguished from another; what links there were with daily life and historical propaganda; the influence of changing tastes and problems still outstanding. Examples are drawn from a wide range of media--vases murals mosaics sarcophagi sculpture--used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The myths are mostly those that are also easily recognized in later works of art. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed all examples are illustrated and all names terms and concepts are fully explained.

201215566Latomus. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Among the stories surrounding the legendary foundation of the city of Rome by the twins Romulus and Remus previous scholarly attention has focused primarily on one scene – the depiction of the she-wolf nursing the twins following their miraculous salvation from the floodwaters of the Tiber. This book examines another event in the cycle the conception of the twins in which the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia is visited in her sleep and raped by the god Mars. Some fifty-one examples of the encounter of Mars and Rhea Silvia are analyzed drawn from coins relief sculpture gems wall painting mosaics and pottery covering a time frame from the motif’s origin in the early 1st century B. C. To its disappearance in the late 4th century A. D. An analysis of the scene's iconographical evolution and its documented periods of popularity both in the public and private sphere are associated with contemporary trends in Roman literature religion and art. This monograph on the representation of Mars and Rhea Silvia is not simply a self-contained study of a single motif over a specific time frame. Within the realm of Roman art the book discusses larger issues concerning the relationship between art myth and religion and political propaganda drawing from methodologies of appropriation Kopienkritik word and image semiotics and memory culture. As such the book constitutes a case study whose conclusions may serve as guidelines for the study of Roman art in general.; Collection Latomus Volume 336; 241 pages . 2870312776 . Latomus paperback

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 . 9004143203 .

200439082University Press of America. 2004. Softcover. Near Fine. 388 pages; In dramatic representations and narrative reports of inner deliberation the Odyssey displays the workings of the human mind and its hero's practical intelligence epitomized by anticipating consequences and controlling his actions accordingly. Once his hope of returning home as husband father and king is renewed on Calypso's isle Odysseus shows a consistent will to focus on this purpose and subordinate other impulses to it. His fabled cleverness is now fully engaged in a gradually emerging plan as he thinks back from that final goal through a network of means to achieve it. He relies on "signs"—inferences in the form "if this then that" as defined by the Stoic Chrysippus—and the nature of his intelligence is thematically underscored through contrast with others' recklessness that is failure to heed signs or reckon consequences. In Homeric deliberation the mind is torn between competing options or intentions not between "reason" and "desire." The lack of distinct opposing faculties and hierarchical organization in the Homeric mind far from archaic simplicity prefigures the psychology of Chrysippus who cites deliberation scenes from the Odyssey against Plato's hierarchical tri-partite model. From the Stoics there follows a psychological tradition leading through Hobbes and Leibniz to Peirce and Dewey. These thinkers are drawn upon to show the significance of the conception of "thinking" first articulated in the Odyssey. Homer's work inaugurates an approach that has provoked philosophical conflict persisting into the present and opposition to pragmatism and Pragmatism can be discerned in prominent critiques of Homer and his hero which are analyzed and countered in this study. . 076183026X .

Scholar's name to ffep Bonnie Maclachlan née Ward.; During the archaic and classical periods Greek ideas about the dead evolved in response to changing social and cultural conditions—most notably changes associated with the development of the polis such as funerary legislation and changes due to increased contacts with cultures of the ancient Near East. In Restless Dead Sarah Iles Johnston presents and interprets these changes using them to build a complex picture of the way in which the society of the dead reflected that of the living expressing and defusing its tensions reiterating its values and eventually becoming a source of significant power for those who knew how to control it. She draws on both well-known sources such as Athenian tragedies and newer texts such as the Derveni Papyrus and a recently published lex sacra from Selinous. Topics of focus include the origin of the goes the ritual practitioner who made interaction with the dead his specialty the threat to the living presented by the ghosts of those who died dishonorably or prematurely the development of Hecate into a mistress of ghosts and its connection to female rites of transition and the complex nature of the Erinyes. Restless Dead culminates with a new reading of Aeschylus' Oresteia that emphasizes how Athenian myth and cult manipulated ideas about the dead to serve political and social ends.; 9.0 X 6.1 X 1.3 inches; 352 pages . 0520217071 .
