Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A good argument could be made that the Battle of Actium was the most significant military engagement in Roman history.

The victory Octavian enjoyed that day set the state for forty-four years of what would come to be known as the Augustan Peace, and was in no small way the dawn of the Roman Empire.Yet, despite its significance, what exactly happened at Actium has been a mystery, despite significant labors and effort on the part of many classicists and military...

The book moves through Virgil's epic scene by scene and offers a detailed explication of not only all the major (and many minor) difficulties of interpretation, but also provides a cohesive argument that explores Virgil's point in writing this epic of Roman mythology and Augustan propaganda: the role of fury or madness in Rome's national identity.

ISBN: 9781350023512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780739173145 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Madness Triumphant: A Reading of Lucan's Pharsalia offers the most detailed and comprehensive analysis of Lucan's epic poem of the civil war between Caesar and Pompey to have appeared in English. In the manner of his previous books on Virgil and Ovid, Professor Fratantuono considers the Pharsalia as an epic investigation of the nature of fury and madness in Rome, this time during the increasing insanity of Nero's reign. The volume proceeds chapter by chapter, book by book through Lucan's poem, as it unfolds the thesis that the poet Lucan crafted an epic response to both Virgil and Ovid, the...

Virgil, Aeneid 4: Text, Translation, Commentary
ISBN: 9789004521438 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The fourth book of Virgil’s Aeneid is the shortest of his epic, and yet it has had an inestimable influence. The tragedy of Dido is replete with allusions to the Medeas of Euripides, Apollonius, and Ennius, as well as to Catullus’ Ariadne and the historical Cleopatra of Virgil’s Augustan Age. The book has intratextual connections to the poet’s own fourth Georgic (as he revisits the topic of apian regeneration and the loss of Eurydice), even as it confronts the reality of Rome’s bloody history with Carthage. The present volume offers the first full-scale commentary on the book in...
