198543776Oxford Clarendon Press. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. DJ has sun discoloration to spine and portion of front panel.; The Catalogue of Women is an Ancient Greek poem. Ancient writers sometimes attributed it to Hesiod although the poem contains a few references to events and things after Hesiod's time that could suggest that they were later added or that the epic is of a completely different author. Since Hesiod is known to us only as the author of the Works and Days and the Theogony which may not have the same date or author the distinction here is unclear. Since the dating of the poem is one of the most problematic issues surrounding it the poem's author remains anonymous.; 193 pages . 0198140347 . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

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 .
