A Dictionary of Classical Greek Quotations
ISBN: 9781784534929 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 920 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A 2016 Book of the Year, BBC History Magazine Human wisdom is of little or no value', wrote Plato in his Apology. And yet the ancient Greeks, including Plato himself, more than any other people of antiquity were fascinated by the pursuit of the wisdom they called philosophia. That search for knowledge involved an extensive use of maxims and quotations, as we can see from those expressions of Homer prefaced by the phrase 'as people say'. Homer, the Seven Sages and the Pre-Socratic philosophers are still extensively quoted in all the major western languages....

Greek Tragedy in Action
ISBN: 9780415302517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Oliver Taplin's seminal study was revolutionary in drawing out the significance of stage action in Greek tragedy at a time when plays were often read purely as texts, rather than understood as performances. Professor Taplin explores nine plays, including Aeschylus' Agamemnon and Sophocles' Oedipus the King. The details of theatrical techniques and stage directions, used by playwrights to highlight key moments, are drawn out and related to the meaning of each play as a whole. With extensive translated quotations, the essential unity of action and speech in Greek tragedy is demonstrated.

Homeric Soundings: The Shaping of the Iliad
ISBN: 9780198150145 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Iliad came into existence to be heard from start to finish. While this is generally accepted in theory, the poem has not been properly studied in light of what this means in practice. Many connections, which are not obvious when the poem is read, become prominent if it is approached as an oral and aural creation, particularly if the poem is divided into three segments, probably a product of three night-long sessions of performance. This book contends that the shapings that these soundings, or sample explorations, bring into focus extend from details of wording and theme to the entire...

Comic Angels
ISBN: 9780198147978 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book opens up a neglected chapter in the reception of Athenian drama, especially comedy; and it gives stage-center to a particularly attractive and entertaining series of vase-paintings, hitherto regarded as marginal curiosities. These are the so-called "phlyax" vases; nearly all painted in the Greek cities of South Italy in the period 400-300 BC. Up till now, they have been taken to reflect some kind of folk theatre, but Oliver Taplin, promoted by three new vases recently published, argues that many reflect Athenian comedy of the sort represent by Aristophanes. This bold thesis opens up...

Page and Stage: Intersections of Text and Performance in Ancient Greek Drama
ISBN: 9783111247397 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Our knowledge of the ancient theatre is limited by the textual and iconographic character of the evidence available to us: we cannot watch or otherwise experience an Athenian tragedy or comedy. These essays, by a distinguished group of international scholars, bridge the gap between the surviving literary and iconographic evidence and the realities of performance on the ancient Greek stage. This ambitious goal is reached by means of a detailed examination of several case-studies: the construction of dramatic space in Sophocles' Antigone; the significance of the use of deictic pronouns in...

Sophocles stands as one of the greatest dramatists of all time, and one of the most influential on artists and thinkers over the centuries.

Oedipus the King follows Oedipus, the 'man of sorrow', who has unwittingly chosen to enact his prophesied course by murdering his father and marrying his mother. In Aias, the great warrior confronts the... Oedipus the King * Aias * Philoctetes * Oedipus at Colonus
