200140210Oxford University Press. 2001. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Upper corners bumped. Some shelfwear.; The On Poems by Philodemus c. 110-35 BC the Epicurean philosopher and poet who taught Vergil and influenced Horace is our main source for Hellenistic literary theory. In Book 1 Philodemus summarizes a survey of previously unknown poetic and aesthetic theories. Compiled by Crates of Mallos this survey reviews the critical theories of earlier Epicureans Peripatetics and Stoics who argued in some way that sound is the source of poetic excellence and that the ear unaided by the mind can judge it. Philodemus led the reaction against this invasion of Hellenistic literary criticism by musical theory arguing that form and content are interrelated and that substantive content not pretty sound is what makes poetry worthwhile. The 200 fragments of Book 1 were entirely jumbled after its discovery at the site of Vesuvius' destruction of Herculaneum. This edition reconstitutes their original sequence according to a new method while exploiting previously unknown manuscript sources and new techniques for reading the extant pieces. In thus restoring this important aesthetic treatise from antiquity it makes a major addition to the corpus of classical literature.; Philodemus Translation Project. Philodemus: the Aesthetic Works.

2005011397Irvington-On-Hudson New York U.S.A.: Edinburgh Univ Pr 2005 Reprint. 8vo. Cloth binding 256 pp. This book celebrates the rich diversity of the Scots language and the culture it embodies. It marks two important events in Scots language scholarship: the completion of the Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue DOST in 2001 and the publication of its final volumes in 2002. The thirteen chapters which comprise the volume cover many aspects of Scottish life as illuminated by the words used to describe them. The writers experts in their own fields have all made use of the wealth of information in DOST to advance their research. Their topics include the use of DOST in reading literature in tracing the consumption of cereals and wine in early Scotland in elucidating place names and terms used in shipping building and measurement and in defining such complex concepts as homicide and the role of the "gossip".

200710509University of London Institute of Classical Studies. 2007. Softcover. Fine. As new.; Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Supplement 95; 156 pages; Pindar’s fifteen victory odes for Sicilian victors include some of Pindar’s most impressive and widely admired poems such as the first two Olympians and first three Pythians. The majority of the Sicilian odes date from between about 476 to 466 BC and were composed to celebrate the victories of the great tyrants of Sicily Hieron of Syracuse and Theron of Akragas or their families or courtiers at the crown games. The Sicilian tyrants made spectacular use of their wealth and power in competing in equestrian events at the games and in commissioning Pindar and Bacchylides to celebrate their victories in song. This book examines the Sicilian odes of Pindar as a group investigating the ways in which they interact and exploit their overlapping and intersecting audiences. It studies the different performances of Pindar’s odes including reperformances subsequent to the first performance and the audiences of these performances and argues that these have important consequences for our view of the role victory odes played in the self-display of the Sicilian tyrannies to one another and the wider Greek world the intertexts between the odes the ‘conventional’ material in Pindar and the ways in which Pindar fulfils his promise of lasting fame for his patrons. . 1905670095 .

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.

Else book is fine.; In De optimo genere oratorum bezeichnet Cicero M. Pacuvius als 'summus tragicus poeta' und auch nach anderen Zeugnissen scheint er ein bekannter und beliebter Dramatiker gewesen zu sein. Aufgrund dieses Befundes wird in der vorliegenden Studie der bisher noch nicht untersuchten Fragen nach den Gründen für eine solche Wertschätzung nachgegangen. Mit einem dem fragmentarischen Erhaltungszustand von Pacuvius' dramatischen Werken angepassten Ansatz wird versucht präzisere Vorstellungen und Charakteristika der Tragödien zu gewinnen. Eine systematisierende Analyse von häufigeren Motiven und Handlungsstrukturen kann Indizien für eine Gestaltung geben die als typisch für Pacuvius anzusehen ist und so eine tendenzielle Bestimmung des Profils seiner Tragödien ermöglichen. Damit will die Untersuchung zu einem differenzierten Bild von Pacuvius' Dramen sowie der republikanischen Tragödie insgesamt beitragen.; Beiträge Zur Altertumskunde 191; 189 pages; Signed by Author . 3598778031 .
