Written by Adam of Eynsham, Hugh's chaplain and inseparable companion in the last years of the saint's life, this biography chronicles the life of Hugh of Lincoln, who combined ardent religion belief and practice with an active life of administration, legal skill, patronage of scholars, and the building of his cathedral.

Oxford Readings in Propertius
ISBN: 9780199563036 / Angielski / Twarda / 522 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume focuses on the great Roman love poet Propertius. Propertius' poetry reveals an ardent love affair between the poet and his girlfriend, whom he calls 'Cynthia', yet it also offers a snapshot of life in ancient Rome during the Augustan age (20s BC). While this was a period of growth and revival after the crippling civil wars of the previous century, it was also a time when Rome was adjusting to a new form of government under its first emperor.

A Commentary on the Rhesus Attributed to Euripides
ISBN: 9780199591688 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally (but wrongly) attributed to Euripides, has been the object of too little scholarly attention over the last decades. While debate has focused largely on the question of the play's authenticity, consequently overlooking the features of the play itself, this important new commentary explores the essential elements such as language, style, character-portrayal, and metre. The play's stagecraft and plot-construction are scrutinized and shown to be generally idiosyncratic and often defective despite occasional flashes of genius in the handling of dramatic time and...

Aristophanes: Wasps
ISBN: 9780199699407 / Angielski / Twarda / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aristophanes' Wasps was produced in Athens in 422 BCE. Like other Aristophanic comedies, it is a satire on Athenian society and democratic institutions, in this case focusing on the legal system and its supposed manipulation for personal ends by corrupt democratic leaders.
This critical edition of the play includes the full Greek text, detailed commentary notes, and an extensive introduction. It represents a thorough re-evaluation of the play, providing a wealth of insights and advances in our understanding of the work and related topics since the last full scholarly commentary by Douglas...

A Commentary on Ovid's Fasti, Book 2
ISBN: 9780199589395 / Angielski / Twarda / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Fasti is one of Ovid's most complex, inventive, and remarkable works. In presenting the Roman calendar in poetic form, it encompasses an unusually wide range of subjects, a labyrinth of religious rites, historical events, and astronomical myths that can place significant demands on the reader.

Pythagoras and the Early Pythagoreans
ISBN: 9780199289318 / Angielski / Twarda / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In ancient tradition, Pythagoras (c. 570 - c. 495 BC) emerges as a wise teacher, an outstanding mathematician, an influential politician, and as a religious and ethical reformer. Arguably the most influential thinker among the Presocratics, he was thought to have possessed supernatural qualities. This combination of characteristics has led to his portrayal as a controversial and elusive figure. In contrast, his early Pythagorean followers, such as the doctors Democedes and Alcmaeon, the Olympic victors Milon and Iccus, the botanist Menestor, the natural philosopher Hippon, and the...

The Cup of Song: Studies on Poetry and the Symposion
ISBN: 9780199687688 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The symposion is arguably the most significant and well-documented context for the performance, transmission, and criticism of archaic and classical Greek poetry, a distinction attested by its continued hold on the poetic imagination even after its demise as a performance context. The Cup of Song explores the symbiotic relationship of the symposion and poetry throughout Greek literary history, considering the former both as a literal performance context and as an imaginary space pregnant with social, political, and aesthetic implications.

A Commentary on Lucan, De bello civili IV
ISBN: 9783110203851 / Angielski / Twarda / 341 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Book 4 of Lucan's epic contrasts Europe with Africa. At the battle of Lerida (Spain), a violent storm causes the local rivers to flood the plain between the two hills where the opposing armies are camped. Asso's commentary traces Lucan's reminiscences of early Greek tales of creation, when Chaos held the elements in indistinct confusion. This primordial broth sets the tone for the whole book. After the battle, the scene switches to the Adriatic shore of Illyricum (Albania), and finally to Africa, where the proto-mythical water of the beginning of the book cedes to the dryness of the...
