Institute of Classical Studies Bulletin Supplement 113; 250 pages; Electra is a unique complex and fascinating Greek tragic heroine who became a source of inspiration for countless playwrights artists musicians and filmmakers. The daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra she famously supported her brother’s quest to avenge their father’s murder even at the cost of matricide. Her passion for justice and her desire for vengeance have echoed down the centuries to the modern era. Enshrined as the mourner of Greek tragedy par excellence Electra has enjoyed a long and rich reception history. Electra ancient and modern examines the treatment of Electra by all three ancient tragedians Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides and their dialogue with the mythical tradition that preceded them. The focus then shifts forward in time to case studies of her reception in the eighteenth nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Gradually Electra’s dark desires re-emerge over the course of these three centuries until her passionate cries for vengeance are heard once again. Through its detailed analysis of Electra this book also provides a helpful introduction to the study of Classical Reception its ambitions and methods. . 1905670370 .

200414540Ferdinand Schöningh. 2004. Softcover. Very Good. 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.

Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ.; This study in comparative mythology interprets the Greek myths in the light of the mythologies of other Indo-European cultures - Indian Celtic Scandinavian Roman Greek Iranian and Ossetian. The author uses a modified version of the schema proposed by the French theorist Dumezil to consider the profound connections between such works as the "Iliad" the "Odyssey" the Indian epics - the "Ramayana" and the "Mahabharata" - the Iranian "Book of Kings" and the Scandinavian "Yaglingasaga". The book includes a long critical exposition of the discipline of comparative mythology from its 18th-century origins to the revival of the discipline by Dumezil and his followers from 1938 to the present. It also reassesses the profound critique of Dumezil which linked him with Nazi ideology.; 256 pages . 1850438315 . I. B. Tauris hardcover

1971LN-45Dordrecht Holland: D. Reidel 1971. In June 22-271970 an International Working Symposium on Pragmatics of Natural Languages took place in Jerusalem under the auspices of The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Division of Logic Methodology and Philosophy of Science of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science. Some thirty philosophers logicians linguists and psychologists from Israel U.S.A. West-Germany England Belgium France Scotland and Denmark met in seven formal and a number of informal sessions in order to discuss some of the problems around the use and acquisition of language which in the eyes of an increasing number of scholars have been left under treated in the recent upsurge of interest in theoretical linguistics and philosophy of language. More specifically during the formal sessions the following topics were discussed: the validity of the syntactics-semantics-pragmatics trichotomy; the present state of the competence-performance issue; logic and linguistics; the new rhetoric; speech acts; and language acquisition. The participants in the Symposium distributed among themselves reprints and preprints of relevant material partly in advance of the meeting partly at its beginning. Each session was introduced by one or two moderators and summaries of each day's proceedings were prepared and distributed the next day. The participants were invited to submit papers after the symposium written under its impact. The eleven essays published here are the result. 231 pp. A few isolated very light barely visible underlines; otherwise clean text. Minimal shelfwear. . First Edition. Soft Cover.

Upper corners a bit bumped.; The Oxford Handbook of Roman Studies is an indispensable guide to the latest scholarship in this area. Over fifty distinguished scholars elucidate the contribution of material as well as literary culture to our understanding of the Roman world. The emphasis is particularly upon the new and exciting links between the various sub-disciplines that make up Roman Studies - for example between literature and epigraphy art and philosophy papyrology and economic history. The Handbook in fact aims to establish a field and scholarly practice as much as to describe the current state of play. Connections with disciplines outside classics are also explored including anthropology psychoanalysis gender and reception studies and the use of new media.; Oxford Handbooks; 750 pages . 0199211523 .

DJ has large tear to upper corner 1cm by 4 cm.; This study of the Roman Empire in the age of Constantine offers a thoroughly new assessment of the part Christianity played in the Roman world of the third and fourth centuries. Mr. Barnes gives the fullest available narrative history of the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine. He analyzes Constantine's rise to power and his government demonstrating how Constantine's sincere adherence to Christianity advanced his political aims. He explores the whole range of Eusebius' writings especially those composed before Constantine became emperor and shows that many attitudes usually deemed typical of the "Constantinian revolution" were prevalent before the new Christian empire came into existence. This authoritative political and cultural history of the age of Constantine will prove essential to students and historians of the ancient world.; 464 pages . 0674165306 .
