Epic Succession and Dissension: Ovid, Metamorphoses 13.623-14.582, and the Reinvention of the Aeneid
ISBN: 9783110183269 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study constitutes the first modern book-length, in-depth critical analysis of Ovid, Metamorphoses 13.623-14.582. In this unit Ovid, by challenging openly the artistry of his great predecessor Vergil, redraws the parameters associated with the definition and appreciation of epic poetry. The book first introduces the methodological complexity of the Ovidian embrace strategy, and, subsequently, it reads the 'little Aeneid' closely, discussing the network of allusions to its prototype. It assesses the structure and thematics of each episode in the cluster, and traces the...

The Mythic Voice of Statius: Power and Politics in the Thebaid
ISBN: 9789004099722 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first thematic study of Statius' "Thebaid" to be published in monograph form in English in the past twenty years.

A Companion to the Study of Virgil
ISBN: 9789004119512 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Companion to the Study of Virgil is not yet another introduction to Virgil's poetry, nor is it the thinking man's version of the bibliographies in ANRW. The editor and three outside contributors offer a guide both to the key problems and to the most intelligent discussions. They do not offer 'solutions' to all the difficulties, but are not frightened to admit that this we do not know, that that is a mess, and that there more work is to be done. The book is aimed at graduate students and university teachers. Many of the issues are difficult and artificial...

Catullus' Poem on Attis: Text and Contexts
ISBN: 9789004141322 / Angielski / Twarda / 157 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Catullus 63, the poem on Attis' self-castration, regret, and final subjection to the goddess Cybele, has been called 'the most remarkable poetical creation in the Latin language'. Scholarly debate has focused on the poem's relationship to the myths and cults of Attis and Cybele, its dependence on Hellenistic models, its meanings for a Roman audience, and its unusual language and metre. In the present volume these questions are being addressed by a team of specialists in religious history, Hellenistic poetry, Roman poetry and culture, and Latin linguistics. The volume not only sheds much new...

The Function of Humour in Roman Verse Satire: Laughing and Lying
ISBN: 9780199237937 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Maria Plaza sets out to analyse the function of humour in the Roman satirists Horace, Persius, and Juvenal. Her starting point is that satire is driven by two motives, which are to a certain extent opposed: to display humour, and to promote a serious moral message. She argues that, while the Roman satirist needs humour for his work's aesthetic merit, his proposed message suffers from the ambivalence that humour brings with it. Her analysis shows that this paradox is not only socio-ideological but also aesthetic, forming the ground for the curious, hybrid nature of Roman satire.

ISBN: 9780393302325 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On facing pages in Latin and English, most of the poems in this anthology were written between the first century A.D. and the thirteenth century.

Rivers of Fire: Mythic Themes in Homer's Iliad
ISBN: 9780980081428 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the different generations of heroes in early Greek myth and Homer's vision of war through four important symbolic themes- Monsters, Horses, Archers, and Fire. In the Greek mythical tradition there are 'early' heroes like Perseus and Heracles and Bellerophon, who all make a name for themselves by confronting terrifying monsters (like Medusa and Cerberus and the Chimaera). And then there are 'later' heroes, some of whom acquire their renown in the war at Troy (people like Achilles and Ajax and Agamemnon). The central focus of this book is the way that Homer's great epic poem...

Dall'Elicona a Roma

E luogo comune che, esaurendosi la stagione della poesia augustea, i motivi di sorso ispiratore e labor limae perdano pregnanza semantica: un giudizio legato alla polemica di Persio contro la poesia contemporanea e al Kallimachos in Rom di Walter Wimmel. Entrambi i topoi subiscono in realta una profonda trasformazione, entrando nei nuovi equilibri del sistema letterario (dopo l'Eneide la poesia epica non scorre piu 'fangosa', mentre i generi minori si collocano all'insegna della festinatio e non della cura formale) e nel delicato dialogo fra...

Georgics
ISBN: 9780872206090 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rendered in an idiom drawn from present-day nature guides, gardening handbooks, how-to manuals, and scientific treatises--and in a style influenced by twentieth-century poetry--this bold new translation seeks to renew our appreciation of a work often relegated to the pigeonhole of didactic poetry about farming. In doing so, it reveals the "Georgics" as a remarkable window on Roman conceptions of the natural world and of the place of human life within it--and also conveys a sense of how daring were Virgil's poetics in their day. Footnotes offer a wealth of information on mythology,...
