201115862University College Dublin Press. 2011. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; Plutarch whose works have remained immensely popular through the years has shaped our ideas about much of the ancient world. His humane sensibilities his skill in storytelling and not least his humor have combined to charm readers throughout the centuries persuading them that he is like them. In the twentieth century he was declared a feminist. In this study Chapman argues that his attitudes towards women were in fact those of his time and that while he opted for persuasion instead of force in controlling women his views are nonetheless chauvinistic. This book breaks new ground in scholarly terms but is also accessible to the general reader who wants to learn more about Plutarch and women in antiquity.; 210 pages . 1906359644 .

201042985Cambridge University Press. 2010. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ.; Ancient Greeks remembered their past before the rise of historiography and after it poetry and oratory continued to serve commemorative functions. This book explores the field of literary memory in the fifth century BCE juxtaposing the works of Herodotus and Thucydides with samples from epinician poetry elegy tragedy and oratory. Various socio-political contexts and narrative forms lent themselves to the expression of diverse attitudes towards the past. At the same time a common gravitational centre can be observed which is distinct from modern ideas of history. As well as presenting a broad overview on memory in various genres Professor Grethlein sheds new light on the rise of Greek historiography. He views Herodotus and Thucydides against the background of memory in poetry and oratory and thereby elucidates the tension between tradition and continuity in which the shaping of historiography as a genre took place.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 364 pages . 0521110777 .

201018665Oxford University Press. 2010. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. The Idea of Iambos is a long overdue study of the genre of Greek iambic poetry from the perspective provided by ancient testimonies. Andrea Rotstein places research on iambos in the framework of a new methodological approach to ancient genres based on the cognitive sciences offering an unprecedented study of ancient theories of genres and the way they affected ancient scholarship. Rotstein also examines the possibility of musical performance of iambic poetry as well as the various occasions of public performance particularly at musical contests and rhapsodic recitals. Finally she argues that from the Archaic to the Classical period there was a shift from the notion of literary class depending primarily on rhythm and on its archetypical representative Archilochus towards iambos as a genre defined mainly by invective as its dominant feature.; 400 pages . 0199286272 .
