POLYEIDEIA; The Iambi of Callimachus and the Archaic Iambic Tradition

200236593University of California Press. 2002. Hardcover. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Very Light shelfwear to book and DJ.; Hellenistic Culture and Society; 1.42 x 8.98 x 6.06 Inches; 348 pages; This book provides a new literary treatment of an often-overlooked collection of fragmentary poems from the third century B. C. E. Alexandrian poet Callimachus. Callimachus' Iambi form a collection of thirteen poems which rework archaic Greek iambography and look forward to Roman satire and other genres especially to such collections as Horace's Epodes. The poems are especially significant as examples of cultural memory since they are composed both as an act of commemorating earlier poetry and as a manipulation of traditional features of iambic poetry to refashion the iambic genre. This book fills a significant gap by providing the first complete translation of several of these fragmentary poems in English along with line-by-line commentary notes and literary analysis. The structure of the book is thematic with chapters focusing on such topics as poetic voice fable ethical criticism and statuary. Each chapter consists of an introduction text and selected critical apparatus translation and comprehensive thematic discussion. Acosta-Hughes focuses especially on Callimachus' manipulation of traditional features of archaic iambic poetry such as persona loquens ethical and critical message and eristic dialogue. He also includes a detailed analysis of the Alexandrian poet's artistic relationship with the earlier iambic poets Archilochus and Hipponax. Polyeideia will interest not only readers of Greek and Hellenistic poetry but also readers of Roman satire and invective verse as well as those intrigued by the processes of memorializing and fashioning poetic culture. . 0520220609 .

Visually the external appearance is exceptional particularly internally is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of it's 20 year-old age. It really is still an exceptional exemplary example for it's brightness cleanliness and lack of other or age-acquired detracting faults commonly encountered in a book of a comparable age. 'The Salmon of Doubt' contains ten chapters of the novel on which Douglas Adams was working at the time of his death in May 2001 along with an astonishing collection of pieces recovered from his beloved Macintosh computer. The plot of 'The Salmon of Doubt' is as intriguing as its title and sees Dirk Gently simultaneously on the trail of half a cat and an actor whose sudden appearance is perhaps not as random as it seems. Starring alongside the pizza-addicted detective are Thor Norse God of Thunder Dave of Daveland and a highly confused rhinoceros called Desmond. Other fictional stories include 'Young Zaphod Plays It Safe' featuring the intergalactic star of the 'Hitchhiker' series and 'The Private Life of Ghengis Khan' written with Graham Chapman in which the emotional needs of a barbaric marauding killer are revealed. Non-fiction pieces range from an earnest twelve-year-old Douglas's letter to Eagle magazine through insights into a teenage mind full of adoration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers to lectures reflecting Adams's exceptional understanding of our natural technological and philosophical worlds. Here too are articles on subjects as diverse as religion the 'little dongly things' making a mess of computers the letter 'Y' and Douglas's love affair with two dogs in New Mexico. For fans and new readers alike 'The Salmon of Doubt' is the ultimate smorgasbord of the insanities urbanities and wondrous workings of life the universe and everything.
