Lykophron: Alexandra: Greek Text, Translation, Commentary, and Introduction
ISBN: 9780199576708 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Alexandra attributed to Lykophron is a minor poetic masterpiece. At 1474 lines, it is one of the most important and notoriously difficult Greek poems dating from the Hellenistic period (most likely the early second century BC). Most of the poem purports to be a prophecy by the mythical Trojan princess, Kassandra, the most beautiful of the daughters of King Priam, and her prophecy ranges from the Trojan War to the Roman defeat of Macedon in 197 BC, which took place in the poet's own time. The poem's importance arises from the light which it sheds on Greek religion (in...

Thucydides and Pindar: Historical Narrative and the World of Epinikian Poetry
ISBN: 9780199298280 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Simon Hornblower argues for a relationship between Thucydides and Pindar not so far acknowledged in modern scholarship. He argues that ancient critics were right to detect stylistic similarities between these two great exponents of the "severe style" in prose and verse. In Part One he explores the background of epinikian poetry and athletics, the values shared by the two authors, and religion and colonization myths, and presents a geographically organized survey of Pindar's Mediterranean world, exploiting onomastic evidence. Part Two includes an analysis of Thucydides' account of the Olympic...

Greek Historiography
ISBN: 9780198150725 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The ancient Greek achievement in the writing of history set the standard for all time. The nature of that achievement, though, looks increasingly problematic in the light of recent work on such topics as literacy, orality, rhetoric, narrative technique, and the invention of tradition. In this book, eight ancient historians consider both the achievement and the problems involved in the study of the Greek historians. These essays reflect the best and most recent scholarship on the subject.

Pindar's Poetry, Patrons, and Festivals: From Archaic Greece to the Roman Empire
ISBN: 9780199296729 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ancient sport made a huge if indirect contribution to the literature of ancient Greece, since some sixty poems by Pindar and Bacchylides ("epinikian odes"), written to commemorate victories, survive from the Classical period. This book is a collection of essays about that literature, and about the social and physical context for which it was written. The editors assembled an internationally distinguished team of speakers for the original 2002 seminar series held in London, and these papers form the backbone of the book. But to ensure coherence and comprehensive coverage, they have...
