Book The Rivals of Aristophanes

    Book Details:
  • Author : David Harvey
  • Publisher : Classical Press of Wales
  • Release : 2002-12-31
  • ISBN : 1910589594
  • Pages : 575 pages

Download or read book The Rivals of Aristophanes written by David Harvey and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the 'other' comic poets of classical Athens, those who competed with, and in some cases defeated, their (eventually) better-known fellow comedian, Aristophanes, has almost eluded the historical record. The poetry of Cratinus, Phrynichos, Eupolis and the rest has survived only in tantalising, often tiny, fragments and citations. Modern studies in this field have themselves often been difficult of access. Here an exceptional cast of scholars, including most of the leading international authorities, provides a set of 28 interpretative essays to cover every one of these 'other' poets of Athenian Old Comedy for whom significant evidence survives. The work includes a comprehensive bibliography, and is a landmark in the study of Old Comedy.

Book The Pronomos Vase and Its Context

Download or read book The Pronomos Vase and Its Context written by Oliver Taplin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pronomos Vase is the single most important piece of pictorial evidence for ancient theatre to have survived from ancient Greece. It depicts an entire theatrical chorus and cast along with the celebrated musician Pronomos, in the presence of their patron god, Dionysos. In this collection of essays, illustrated with nearly 60 drawings and photographs, leading specialists from a variety of disciplines tackle the critical questions posed by this complex hub of evidence. Thediscussion covers a wide range of perspectives and issues, including the artist's oeuvre; the pottery market; the relation of this piece to other artistic, and especially celebratory, artefacts; the political and cultural contexts of the world that it was produced in; the identification of figures portrayedon it: and the significance of the Pronomos Vase as theatrical evidence. The volume offers not only the most recent scholarship on the vase but also some ground-breaking interpretations of it.

Book Parchments of Gender

    Book Details:
  • Author : Maria Wyke
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press on Demand
  • Release : 1998
  • ISBN : 9780198150800
  • Pages : 291 pages

Download or read book Parchments of Gender written by Maria Wyke and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1998 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parchments of Gender forms an important source of inter-disciplinary information for the study of gender and the body in ancient history. The central and unifying theme of the collection is the body's relation to gender. With essays covering the ancient communities of Greece, Rome and Judaea, the volume argues that ancient bodies are 'parchments of gender'. They are textual skins on which gender is inscribed and on which can be traced other interconnecting matrices of knowledge and power that give ancient bodies their seemingly legible contours. The volume also demonstrates the central role of antiquity in developing the cultural formation of the gendered body as a concept and a practice which is still prevalent in society today.

Book Classical Literature

    Book Details:
  • Author : Richard Jenkyns
  • Publisher : Basic Books
  • Release : 2016-03-01
  • ISBN : 0465097987
  • Pages : 285 pages

Download or read book Classical Literature written by Richard Jenkyns and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of the Greeks and Romans form the bedrock of Western culture. Inventing the molds for histories, tragedies, and philosophies, while pioneering radical new forms of epic and poetry, the Greeks and Romans created the literary world we still inhabit today. Writing with verve and insight, distinguished classicist Richard Jenkyns explores a thousand years of classical civilization, carrying readers from the depths of the Greek dark ages through the glittering heights of Rome's empire. Jenkyns begins with Homer and the birth of epic poetry before exploring the hypnotic poetry of Pindar, Sappho, and others from the Greek dark ages. Later, in Athens's classical age, Jenkyns shows the radical nature of Sophocles's choice to portray Ajax as a psychologically wounded warrior, how Aeschylus developed tragedy, and how Herodotus, in "inventing history," brought to narrative an epic and tragic quality. We meet the strikingly modern figure of Virgil, struggling to mirror epic art in an age of empire, and experience the love poems of Catullus, who imbued verse with obsessive passion as never before. Even St. Paul and other early Christian writers are artfully grounded here in their classical literary context. A dynamic and comprehensive introduction to Greek and Roman literature, Jenkyns's Classical Literature is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the classics -- and the extraordinary origins of Western culture. "There is scarcely anything on which he does not offer an original aperç sometimes illuminating, sometimes simply provocative, but always worth reading... Jenkyns's view of ancient literature is Olympian." -- G.W. Bowersock, The New York Review of Books
