THE STORY OF TROILUS As Told by Benoit De Sainte-Maure, Giovanni Boccaccio, Geoffrey Chaucer, Robert Henryson

Reprint of 1988. With its informative introduction, collects the major medieval versions of the story of Troilus and Criseyde, each putting its own "spin" on the plot and characterization. Benoît's 12th-cent. Roman de Troie is the first version we know. Boccaccio used Troilus's woes as a medium for expressing his own grief over a lost love; his poem, Il Filostrato ("the one prostrated by love") is the raciest version, in which Criseyde eagerly joins in the lovemaking. Boccaccio also added Pandarus as the go-between. Key books from Chaucer's poem are included, as well as Henryson's Testament of Cresseid (1490). ; Mediaeval Academy Reprints for Teaching; 0.81 x 8.96 x 6.04 Inches

THE SHIELD OF HOMER Narrative Structure in the Iliad

Light bump to 1 corner. Faint foxing to top of textblock. Very light shelfwear to DJ. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 492 pages; In this masterly interpretation of narrative sequence in the Iliad, Keith Stanley not only sharpens the current debate over the date and creation of the poem, but also challenges the view of this work as primarily a celebration of heroic force. He begins by studying the intricate ring-composition in the verses describing Achilles' shield, then extends this analysis to reveal the Iliad as an elaborate and self-conscious formal whole. In so doing he defends the hypothesis that the poem as we know it is a massive reorganization and expansion of earlier "Homeric" material, written in response to the need for a stable text for repeated performance at the sixth-century Athenian festival for the city's patron goddess. Stanley explores the arrangement of the poem's books, all unified by theme and structure, showing how this allowed for artistically satisfying and practically feasible recitation over a period of three or four days. Taking structural emphasis as a guide to poetic discourse, the author argues that the Iliad is not a poem of "might"--as opposed to the Odyssean celebration of "guile"--but that in advocating social and personal reconciliation the poem offers a profound indictment of a warring heroic society.

The sanctified church

White octavo, Trade Paperback, 107 pages ; 24 cm. The Sanctified Church is a collection of Hurston's ground-breaking essays on Afro-American folklore, legend, popular mythology, and, in particular, the unique spiritual character of the Soouthern Black Christian Church.

A pioneering ethnographer and floklore scholar, the great Zora Neale Hurston captured the exuberance, vitality and genius of Black culture with a vividness and authority unmatched by any other writer.

THE SACRIFICIAL RITUALS OF GREEK HERO-CULTS In the Archaic to the Early Hellenistic Period

Light bump to base of spine. Minor crease to upper part of book (book does not lay flat). Sticky note with author's dedication to ffep. ; This study questions the traditional view of sacrifices in hero-cults during the Archaic to the early Hellenistic periods. The analysis of the epigraphical and literary evidence for sacrifices to heroes in these periods shows, contrary to the traditional notion, that the main ritual in hero-cults was a thysia at which the worshippers consumed the meat from the animal victim. A particular handling of the animal’s blood or a holocaust, rituals previously taken to be typical for heroes, can rarely be documented and must be considered as marginal features in hero-cults. The terms eschara, escharon, bothros, enagizein, enagisma, enagismos and enagisterion, believed to be characteristic for hero-cults, are seldom used in hero-contexts before the Roman period and occur mainly in the Byzantine lexicographers and in the scholia. Since the main kind of sacrifice in hero-cults was a thysia, a ritual intimately connected with the social structure of society, the heroes must have fulfilled the same role as the gods within the Greek religious system. The fact that the heroes were dead seems to have been of little significance for the sacrificial rituals and it is questionable whether the rituals of hero-cults are to be considered as originating in the cult of the dead. ; Kernos Supplément 12; 429 pages
