199639809University of Michigan Press. 1996. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Very faint bump to head of spine else fine.; Toward the end of the last century Cicero's work came under attack from several angles. His political stance was sharply criticized for inconsistency by Theodor Mommsen and others his philosophical works for lack of originality. Since then scholars have come to a better understanding of the political conditions that informed the views of Mommsen and his contemporaries about Caesar and Cicero and as a result Cicero's writings have been restored to a more appropriate position in the literature and history of the Roman Republic. At the same time recent years have seen an intensive study of Hellenistic philosophy and this has shown more clearly than before that even while following Greek models Cicero nonetheless pursued his own political and in the ethical works moralistic agenda. Composed in haste shortly before Cicero's death de Officiis has exercised enormous influence over the centuries. It is all the more surprising that Andrew R. Dyck's volume is the first detailed English commentary on the work written in this century. It deals with the problems of the Latin text taking account of Michael Winterbottom's new edition it delineates the work's structure and sometimes elusive train of thought clarifies the underlying Greek and Latin concepts and provides starting points for approaching the philosophical and historical problems that de Officiis raises. A work of major importance for classicists philosophers and ancient historians this Commentary will be an invaluable companion to all readers of Cicero's last philosophical work.; 760 pages . 0472107194 .

201241414Oxford University Press. 2012. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Some pencil notes and underlining. Upper corners bumped. Minor shelfwear to DJ.; Rhesus a tragedy traditionally but wrongly attributed to Euripides has been the object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused largely on the question of the play's authenticity consequently overlooking the features of the play itself this important new commentary explores the essential elements such as language style character-portrayal and metre. The play's stagecraft and plot-construction are scrutinized and shown to be generally idiosyncratic and often defective despite occasional flashes of genius in the handling of dramatic time and theatrical space. Through the detailed introduction translation and commentary Liapis shows that Rhesus is largely derivative as it contains a significant amount of textual material taken from other classical tragedies and genres. The conclusion is that the contested author's familiarity with fifth-century drama bespeaks a professional actor probably one specializing in re-performances of classical repertoire. Such evidence suggests that Rhesus can therefore be considered as not only a surviving fourth-century tragedy but also one conceived for performance outside of Athens.; 364 pages . 0199591687 .
