The Wrath of Athena: Gods and Men in the Odyssey
ISBN: 9780822630692 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Available in paperback for the first time, Jenny Strauss Clay's landmark study of the Odyssey argues that Athena's wrath is central to both the structure and the theme of the epic poem. Clay demonstrates that an appreciation of the thematic role of Athena's anger elucidates the poem's complex narrative organization and its conception of the hierarchical relations between gods and men. This edition includes a new introduction by the author.

Homer's Trojan Theater: Space, Vision, and Memory in the Iiiad
ISBN: 9780521762779 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Moving away from the verbal and thematic repetitions that have dominated Homeric studies and exploiting the insights of cognitive psychology, this highly innovative and accessible study focuses on the visual poetics of the Iliad as the narrative is envisioned by the poet and rendered visible. It does so through a close analysis of the often-neglected Battle Books'. They here emerge as a coherently visualized narrative sequence rather than as a random series of combats, and this approach reveals, for instance, the significance of Sarpedon's attack on the Achaean Wall and Patroclus' path to...

Panhellenes at Methone: Graphê in Late Geometric and Protoarchaic Methone, Macedonia (CA 700 Bce)
ISBN: 9783110501278 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 387 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume discusses the multidimensional aspects of the unique, and so far unprecedented for Macedonia, 191 sherds from Methone in Pieria, dated to ca 700 BCE, which bear inscriptions, graffiti, and (trade)marks inscribed, incised, scratched and rarely painted. The 191 vessels were unearthed during excavations in ancient Methone in Pieria, the oldest colony of Greeks from Eretria in the north according to tradition. The Methone find is unique for two reasons. First, most of the pottery dates between 730 and 700 BCE, a period from which very few examples of Greek writing survives....

Hesiod's Cosmos
ISBN: 9780521823920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study reveals the unity of Hesiod's vision of the Cosmos by reading both his poems as two complementary halves of a whole embracing the human and divine cosmos. In the Theogony and Works and Days, Hesiod, roughly contemporary with Homer, does not describe the deeds of the heroes. He provides instead the earliest comprehensive account of the genesis of the Greek gods and the nature of human life that became the foundation for later Greek literature and philosophy.

Teaching through Images: Imagery in Greco-Roman Didactic Poetry
ISBN: 9789004373488 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In ancient didactic poetry, poets frequently make use of imagery – similes, metaphors, acoustic images, models, exempla, fables, allegory, personifications, and other tropes – as a means to elucidate and convey their didactic message. In this volume, which arose from an international conference held at the University of Heidelberg in 2016, we investigate such phenomena and explore how they make the unseen visible, the unheard audible, and the unknown comprehensible. By exploring didactic poets from Hesiod to pseudo-Oppian and from Vergil and Lucretius to Grattius and Ovid, the authors in...
