Eroticism in Ancient Greek and Medieval Poetry
ISBN: 9780715629857 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ancient Greek poetry, even at its most sophisticated, presupposed a degree of familiarity with, and assimilation of, many more elementary types of song. The continuous if uneven interplay between high-flown literature and sub-literary popular oral song types cannot be underestimated in any account of ancient Greek poetry. John Petropoulos discusses the features of ancient Greek poetry, particularly amatory poetry, that can be attributed to the influence of popular song and, conversely, looks at how 'higher' poetry affected 'lower' genres in antiquity and medieval times. He goes on to... Ancient Greek poetry, even at its most sophisticated, presupposed a degree of familiarity with, and assimilation of, many more elementary types of ... |

A Commentary on Lysias, Speeches 1-11
ISBN: 9780198149095 / Angielski / Twarda / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lysias was the leading Athenian speech-writer of the generation (403-380 BC) following the Peloponnesian War, and his speeches form a leading source for all aspects of the history of Athenian society during this period. The speeches are widely read today, not least because of their simplicity of linguistic style. This simplicity is often deceptive, however, and one of the aims of this commentary is to help the reader assess the rhetorical strategies of each of the speeches and the often highly tendentious manipulation of argument. This volume includes the text itself (reproduced from Carey's...
