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

This series of twenty complementary essays by experts in the field explores the art social status reputation and image of the ancient actor in the Greek and Roman worlds from the sixth century BC to Byzantium. Numerous illustrations are included and all Greek and Latin passages are translated. This collection of twenty essays examines the art profession and idea of the actor in Greek and Roman antiquity and has been commissioned and arranged to cast as much interdisciplinary and transhistorical light as possible on these elusive but fascinating ancient professionals. It covers a chronological span from the sixth century BC to Byzantium and even beyond to the way that ancient actors have influenced the arts from the Renaissance to the twentieth century and stresses the huge geographical spread of ancient actors. Some essays focus on particular themes such as the evidence for women actors or the impact of acting on the presentation of suicide in literature others offer completely new evidence such as graffiti relating to actors in Asia Minor others ask new questions such as what subjective experience can be reconstructed for the ancient actor.

Fantham.; A comprehensive survey of Roman theatrical production this book examines all aspects of Roman performance practice and provides fresh insights on the comedies of Plautus and Terence. Following an introductory chapter on the experience of Roman comedy from the perspective of Roman actors and the Roman audience addressing among other things the economic concerns of putting on a play in the Roman republic subsequent chapters provide detailed studies of troupe size and the implications for role assignment masks stage action music and improvisation in the plays of Plautus and Terence. Marshall argues that Roman comedy was raw comedy much more rough-and-ready than its Hellenistic precursors but still fully conscious of its literary past. The consequences of this lead to fresh conclusions concerning the dramatic structure of Roman comedy and a clearer understanding of the relationship between the plays-as-text and the role of improvisation during performance.; 336 pages . 0521861616 .

200639786Oxford University Press. 2006. Softcover. Near Fine. Very light shelfwear; No other ancient poet has had such a hold on the imagination of readers as Ovid. Through the centuries artists writers and poets have found in his work inspiration for new creative endeavors. This anthology of twenty of the most influential papers published in the last thirty years represents the broad range of critical and scholarly approaches to Ovid's work. The entire range of his poetry from the Amores to the Epistles from the Black Sea is discussed by some of the leading scholars of Latin poetry employing critical methods ranging from philology to contemporary literary theory. In an introductory essay Peter Knox surveys Ovidian scholarship over this period and locates the assembled papers within recent critical trends. Taken together the articles in this collection offer the interested reader whether experienced scholar or novice an entrée into the current critical discourse on Ovid who is at once one of the most accessible authors of classical antiquity and one of the least understood.; Oxford Readings in Classical Studies; 541 pages . 0199281165 .

DJ has edgewear and minor chipping.; The Etruscans have long been a rich source of research and intellectual inquiry as the most significant ethnic group who resided in ancient Etruria current-day Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. A well-defined polity the Etruscans were an advanced people whose presence on the Italian peninsula from the 8th to 4th century B. C. Had an enormous impact on Roman culture whose rise of power saw the collapse of Etruscan civilization. This book is extensive in its scope; it traces the rise of the Etruscans at the end of the Bronze Age; examines the economic structure of the society; explores the emergence of a powerful aristocracy in the period from 750-650 B. C. ; and considers the religious and cultural life of the group. This knowledge has largely been gleaned from a wealth of monuments and material culture which the Etruscans left behind including architecture the various forms of which indicate familial structure and socio-economic standing not to mention the larger social structure of Etruscan society and applied arts such as bronze objects for both ceremonial use and everyday life which were produced by an artisan class for a wealthy and demanding aristocracy. Etruscan contributions to the history of art are also of immense importance and are explored in depth in this volume. Etruscan wall painting was exceptional in that it is one of the few examples of pre-Roman artistic production of this genre. Sculpture was also a relatively highly developed form of art and the Etruscans are known for their important experiments with form. Noted scholar Mario Torelli editor of the book gathers here an illuminating collection of essays reflective of the most current research on the Etruscans. As a professor of classical archaeology for nearly three decades who has directed archeological digs at some of the most significant Etruscan sites Torelli offers a unique insight into the scholarly terrain of Etruscan studies. Torelli also contributes a substantive essay on Etruscan religion exploring the rather exceptional character of this important aspect of Etruscan life. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Etruscan art and culture this impressive catalogue explores every aspect of the Etruscan people and their artistic and cultural legacy in the most expansive consideration of their enormous contribution to Western culture to date.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 672 pages; Heavy book. . 0847823911 .

2001045938Bratislava: Slovart 2001 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Slovenian edition. Bratislava Vydavatelastvo Slovart. 2005 1st Slovak. ISBN: 8080850453 Hardcover. The" Pelenopiad" translated into Slovak by Jana Juranova. Román Penelopiáda kanadskej autorky Margret Atwoodovej vychádza z jedného z najvýznamnejsích starogréckych mýtov. Homérovo rozprávanie je vsak pre nu uz len jednou z verzií a tak tento notoricky známy príbeh rozpráva po novom z perspektívy Penelopy. Atwoodová nachádza v Homérovom rozprávaní dost nezrovnalostí na to aby mala dôvod pozriet sa na celý "prípad" z novej strany. Postupuje ako archeologicka textu pod starými nánosmi sa objavujú nové neznáme vrstvy ktoré logicky zapadajú práve tam kde Homérov príbeh vytvára hiáty a nezrovnalosti. Atwoodová s nadhladom spochybnuje kanonizovanú verziu príbehu a s jemným vtipom komentuje nielen pseudohrdinstvo Odysea ale aj naucené feminínne správanie sa Penelopy. 166p .Only 1 copy in WorldCat.
