Exploring both how Plato engaged with existing literary forms and how later literature then created 'classics' out of some of Plato's richest works, this book includes chapters on such subjects as rewritings of the Apology and re-imaginings of Socrates' defence, Plato's rich style and the criticisms it attracted and how Petronius and Apuleius threaded Plato into their richly comic texts.

Hesiodic Voices: Studies in the Ancient Reception of Hesiod's Works and Days
ISBN: 9781107046900 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book selects central texts illustrating the literary reception of Hesiod's Works and Days in antiquity and considers how these moments were crucial in fashioning the idea of 'didactic literature'. A central chapter considers the development of ancient ideas about didactic poetry, relying not so much on explicit critical theory as on how Hesiod was read and used from the earliest period of reception onwards. Other chapters consider Hesiodic reception in the archaic poetry of Alcaeus and Simonides, in the classical prose of Plato, Xenophon and Isocrates, in the Aesopic tradition, and in...

Wandering Poets in Ancient Greek Culture: Travel, Locality and Pan-Hellenism
ISBN: 9780521898782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although recent scholarship has focused on the city-state as the context for the production of Greek poetry, for poets and performers travel was more the norm than the exception. This book traces this central aspect of ancient culture from its roots in the near Eastern societies which preceded the Greeks, through the way in which early semi-mythical figures such as Orpheus were imagined, the poets who travelled to the brilliant courts of archaic tyrants, and on into the fluid mobility of imperial and late antique culture. The emphasis is both on why poets travelled, and on how local...

Critical Moments in Classical Literature: Studies in the Ancient View of Literature and Its Uses
ISBN: 9780521519854 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Through a series of innovative critical readings Richard Hunter builds a picture of how the ancients discussed the meaning of literary works and their importance in society. He pays particular attention to the interplay of criticism and creativity by not treating criticism in isolation from the works which the critics discussed. Attention is given both to the development of a history of criticism, as far as our sources allow, and to the constant recurrence of similar themes across the centuries. At the head of the book stands the contest of Aeschylus and Euripides in Aristophanes' Frogs which...

On Coming After: Studies in Post-Classical Greek Literature and its Reception
ISBN: 9783110204414 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 917 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work gathers together the principal essays of Richard Hunter, whose work has been fundamental in the modern re-evaluation of Greek literature after Alexander and its reception at Rome and elsewhere. At the heart of Hunter's work lies the high poetry of Ptolemaic Alexandria and the narrative literature of later antiquity ('the ancient novel'), but comedy, mime, didactic poetry and ancient literary criticism all fall within the scope of these studies. Principal recurrent themes are the uses and recreation of the past, the modes of poetic allusion, the moral purpose of literature, and the...
