201215566Latomus. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Among the stories surrounding the legendary foundation of the city of Rome by the twins Romulus and Remus previous scholarly attention has focused primarily on one scene – the depiction of the she-wolf nursing the twins following their miraculous salvation from the floodwaters of the Tiber. This book examines another event in the cycle the conception of the twins in which the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia is visited in her sleep and raped by the god Mars. Some fifty-one examples of the encounter of Mars and Rhea Silvia are analyzed drawn from coins relief sculpture gems wall painting mosaics and pottery covering a time frame from the motif’s origin in the early 1st century B. C. To its disappearance in the late 4th century A. D. An analysis of the scene's iconographical evolution and its documented periods of popularity both in the public and private sphere are associated with contemporary trends in Roman literature religion and art. This monograph on the representation of Mars and Rhea Silvia is not simply a self-contained study of a single motif over a specific time frame. Within the realm of Roman art the book discusses larger issues concerning the relationship between art myth and religion and political propaganda drawing from methodologies of appropriation Kopienkritik word and image semiotics and memory culture. As such the book constitutes a case study whose conclusions may serve as guidelines for the study of Roman art in general.; Collection Latomus Volume 336; 241 pages . 2870312776 . Latomus paperback
200439082University Press of America. 2004. Softcover. Near Fine. 388 pages; In dramatic representations and narrative reports of inner deliberation the Odyssey displays the workings of the human mind and its hero's practical intelligence epitomized by anticipating consequences and controlling his actions accordingly. Once his hope of returning home as husband father and king is renewed on Calypso's isle Odysseus shows a consistent will to focus on this purpose and subordinate other impulses to it. His fabled cleverness is now fully engaged in a gradually emerging plan as he thinks back from that final goal through a network of means to achieve it. He relies on "signs"—inferences in the form "if this then that" as defined by the Stoic Chrysippus—and the nature of his intelligence is thematically underscored through contrast with others' recklessness that is failure to heed signs or reckon consequences. In Homeric deliberation the mind is torn between competing options or intentions not between "reason" and "desire." The lack of distinct opposing faculties and hierarchical organization in the Homeric mind far from archaic simplicity prefigures the psychology of Chrysippus who cites deliberation scenes from the Odyssey against Plato's hierarchical tri-partite model. From the Stoics there follows a psychological tradition leading through Hobbes and Leibniz to Peirce and Dewey. These thinkers are drawn upon to show the significance of the conception of "thinking" first articulated in the Odyssey. Homer's work inaugurates an approach that has provoked philosophical conflict persisting into the present and opposition to pragmatism and Pragmatism can be discerned in prominent critiques of Homer and his hero which are analyzed and countered in this study. . 076183026X .

201215567Éditions Latomus. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Mythos generell und der Troja-Mythos im besonderen der sich vor allem um die Gestalten von Paris und Helena rankt war immer schon offen für unterschiedliche Deutungen konnte daher auch für die Vermittlung politischer oder ideologischer Botschaften „maniuliert“ werden. In diesem Buch werden zwei unterschiedliche und doch vergleichbarte Beispiele präsentiert: Ovid läßt in Heroides 16 und 17 bzw. Heroides 5 Paris und Helena bzw. Die von Paris verlassene Nymphe Oenone den Mythos von Urteil des Paris und dessen Liebe zu Helena jeweils anders erzählen. Es handelt sich dabei nicht bloß um literarisches Spiel sondern Ovid reflektiert auf einer Metaebene allgemein über das Problem der Manipulierbarkeit des Mythos im speziellen des Mythos über Troja und Aeneas durch Vergil zum Zweck panegyrischer Aussagen. Am Ende des 11. Jh. Dichtet Baudri von Bourgueil ebenfalls ein Versepistelpaar in dem er zeigt wie Paris und Helena ihren eigenen Mythos bzw. Dessen allegorische Aussage mißverstehen und derart ins Unglück stürzen. Dasselbe Problem der richtigen d. H. Nicht manipulierenden Deutung von Mythos und der Dichtung die von solchen Mythen handelt liegt auch dem poetischen Brief Baudris an die Nonne Constantia und deren vom Dichter fingierten Antwort zugrunde – ein Problem das Baudri persönlich betraf da er wegen seiner Dichtungen in ovidischem Stil Kritik ausgesetzt war.; Collection Latomus Volume 334; 105 pages . 287031275X .

200414540Ferdinand Schöningh. 2004. Softcover. Very Good. Light rubbing to wraps. Some pencil marginalia to text by R. E. Fantham. Minor shelfwear.; Wohl kaum ein anderer Mythenkomplex griechischen Ursprungs übte auf Rom eine solche Faszination aus wie die Geschichte von den Pelopiden. Welche Bedeutung man dem Thema beigemessen hat bezeugen die zahlreichen Tragödien mit dem Titel Atreus oder Thyestes in deren Zentrum der den sittlichen Tiefpunkt des Geschlechtes markierende Frevel der coena Thyestea stand. Die Untersuchung geht den Voraussetzungen und Bedingungen nach die den außergewöhnlichen Erfolg gerade dieses Mythos ermöglichten. Es zeigt sich dass die große ideologische Aussagekraft die der Mythos im Verständnis des römischen Publikums entfaltete auf die ganz spezifische Gestalt zurückzuführen ist welche der Tragiker Accius dem Stoff in mehreren seiner Dramen verliehen hat.; Studien Zur Geschichte Und Kultur Des Altertums Neue Folge 1.
