The Homeric Hymns: A Translation, with Introduction and Notes
ISBN: 9780520282117 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Homeric Hymns have survived for two and a half millennia because of their captivating stories, beautiful language, and religious significance. Well before the advent of writing in Greece, they were performed by traveling bards at religious events, competitions, banquets, and festivals. These thirty-four poems invoking and celebrating the gods of ancient Greece raise questions that humanity still struggles with--questions about our place among others and in the world. Known as "Homeric" because they were composed in the same meter, dialect, and style as Homer's Iliad and...

Geschichte als Element antiker Kultur
ISBN: 9783110350500 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der Zusammenhang von Geschichtsvorstellungen und politischen Organisationsformen ist fur die griechische Geschichte bisher kaum untersucht worden. Das Buch zeigt, dass genau darin aber ein wesentliches Element sozialer Selbstvergewisserung liegt. Von da her lasst sich auch der spezifische Stellenwert der griechischen Geschichtsschreibung besser bestimmen. Auf diese Weise fallt ein ganz neues Licht auf ein zentrales Phanomen der antiken Kultur. Der Zusammenhang von Geschichtsvorstellungen und politischen Organisationsformen ist fur die griechische Geschichte bisher kaum untersucht worden. ... |

Selected Speeches
ISBN: 9780199593774 / Angielski / Miękka / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'Even if everyone else succumbs to slavery, we must still fight for our freedom.'
Admired by many in the ancient world as the greatest of the classic Athenian orators, Demosthenes was intimately involved in the political events of his day. As well as showing a master orator at work, his speeches are a prime source for the history of the period, when Athens was engaged in a doomed struggle against the rising power of Macedon under the brilliant father and son, Philip and Alexander. Demosthenes wrote for the courts, both for political trials in which he was involved and for other cases in... 'Even if everyone else succumbs to slavery, we must still fight for our freedom.'

Ordinary Oblivion and the Self Unmoored: Reading Platoas Phaedrus and Writing the Soul
ISBN: 9780823257430 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rapp begins with a question posed by the poet Theodore Roethke: "Should we say that the self, once perceived, becomes a soul?" Through her examination of Plato's Phaedrus and her insights about the place of forgetting in a life, Rapp answers Roethke's query with a resounding Yes. In so doing, Rapp reimagines the Phaedrus, interprets anew Plato's relevance to contemporary life, and offers an innovative account of forgetting as a fertile fragility constitutive of humanity. Drawing upon poetry and comparisons with other ancient Greek and Daoist texts, Rapp brings to light overlooked features of...

The Epistrategos in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt: The Ptolemaic Epistrategos
ISBN: 9783531099064 / Angielski / Miękka / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is over sixty years since the office of epistrategos in Roman Egypt was subjected to a detailed examination and in the interverring years a great deal of new papyrological and epigraphic material has come to light. It was my original intention to write a study of the office in this period with, by way of introduction, a brief sketch of the epistrategos in Ptolemaic Egypt. It soon became apparent, however, that a much more fundamental study of the Ptolemaic epistrategos was desirable, which would attempt to answer, or at least to clarify, the various problems connected with the office in...

Seneca's Tragedies and the Aesthetics of Pantomime
ISBN: 9781472511881 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pantomime was arguably the most popular dramatic genre during the Roman Empire, but has been relatively neglected by literary critics. Seneca's Tragedies and the Aesthetics of Pantomime adds to our understanding of Seneca's tragic art by demonstrating that elements which have long puzzled scholars can be attributed to the influence of pantomime. The work argues that certain formal features which depart from the conventions of fifth-century Attic drama can be explained by the influence of, and interaction with, this more popular genre. Pantomime was arguably the most popular dramatic genre during the Roman Empire, but has been relatively neglected by literary critics. Sen... |
