Download or read book Pentadius Ovidian Poet written by Paola Paolucci and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2016 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieses dem Dichter Pentadius gewidmete Werk ist Teil eines mehr als zwanzig Jahre andauernden und von den Professoren Loriano Zurli und Paola Paolucci (Universität Peru¬gia) koordinierten Projekts von Untersuchungen und Entwicklungen kritischer Editionen der Gedichte, die in der sogenannten Salmasianschen Anthologie zusammengetragen sind. Diese größtenteils im codex Parisinus Latinus 10 318, bekannt als codex Salmasianus, überlieferte Anthologie ist eine Gedichtsammlung, die gegen Ende des Vandalenreichs (um 533-534 n. Chr.) in Nordafrika zusammengestellt wurde. Pentadius gehört zu den zahlreichen, oft anderweitig unbekannten Dichtern der Salma¬sianischen Sammlung. Sechs Gedichte (zwei Elegien und vier Epigramme) werden ihm zugeschrieben. Der Reihenfolge nach handelt es sich um eine Elegie mit dem Titel De Fortuna über die Veränderlichkeit des Schicksals, die durch zahlreiche mythische Instanzen veranschaulicht wird; eine weitere Elegie über die Ankunft des Frühlings mit dem Titel De adventu veris, die ein naturalistisches Bild entwirft; zwei Epigramme über Narcissus; ein Epigramm über eine Frau namens Chrysocome sowie ein Epigramm mit misogynen Ratschlägen. Diese sechs Gedichte bedürfen einer umfassenden Untersuchung sowie einer verlässlichen Ausgabe. Mit dem vorliegenden Essay strebt Paola Paolucci nach der Verwirklichung des ersten Ziels und schafft das Fundament für das zweite.
Download or read book Carpe Diem written by Robert A. Rohland and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carpe diem – 'eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!' – is a prominent motif throughout ancient literature and beyond. This is the first book-length examination of its significance and demonstrates that close analysis can make a key contribution to a question that is central to literary studies in and beyond Classics: how can poetry give us the almost magical impression that something is happening here and now? In attempting an answer, Robert Rohland gives equal attention to Greek and Latin texts, as he offers new interpretations of well-known poems from Horace and tackles understudied epigrams. Pairing close readings of ancient texts along with interpretations of other forms of cultural production such as gems, cups, calendars, monuments, and Roman wine labels, this interdisciplinary study transforms our understanding of the motif of carpe diem.
Download or read book The Collectio Avellana and Its Revivals written by Rita Lizzi Testa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collectio Avellana (CA) has an extraordinary richness and variety of content. Imperial rescripts, reports of urban prefects, letters of bishops, and exchanges of letters between popes and emperors, some of which only this compilation preserves, constitute an exceptional documentary collection for researchers of various sectors of antiquity. This volume is the first publication to reconstruct the history of this compilation through the fascinating questions that it poses to the scholar. There are essays on its general structure, and on some of the most singular texts preserved therein. Other papers offer a comparison between this compilation and the other canonical collections compiled in Italy between the fourth and sixth centuries, as well as between the CA and other contemporary literary products. Adopting a new approach, some contributions also ascertain who could physically have access to the materials that were collected in the CA, and where the compiler could find them. All these fresh studies have led to new hypotheses regarding the period in which the collection, or at least some of its parts, took shape and the personality of its author.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Classical Literature written by E. J. Kenney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of Classical Literature provides a comprehensive, critical survey of the literature of Greece and Rome from Homer till the Fall of Rome. This is the only modern work of this scope; it embodies the very considerable advances made by recent classical scholarship, and reflects too the increasing sophistication and vigour of critical work on ancient literature. The literature is presented throughout in the context of the culture and the social and hisotircal processes of which it is an integral part. The overall aim is to offer an authoritative work of reference and appraisal for one of the world's greatest continuous literary traditions. The work is divided into two volumes, each with a similar and broadly chronological structure. Among the special features are important introductory chapters by the General Editors on 'Books and Readers', discussing the conditions under which literature was written and read in antiquity. There are also extensive Appendices or Authors and Works giving detailed factual information in a convenient form. Technical annotation is otherwise kept to a minimum, and all quotations in foreign languages are translated.

Download or read book Narcissus and Pygmalion written by Gianpiero Rosati and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature imitates art—not a paradox from Oscar Wilde's pen, but instead the bold formulation of the Latin poet Ovid (43 BCE-17 CE), marking a radical turning point in ancient aesthetics, founded on the principle of mimesis. For Ovid, art is independent of reality, not its mirror: by enhancing phantasia, the artist's creative imagination and the simulacrum's primacy over reality, Ovid opens up unexplored perspectives for future European literature and art. Through an examination of Narcissus and Pygmalion, figures of illusion and desire, who are the protagonists of two major episodes of the Metamorphoses, Rosati sheds light on some crucial junctures in the history of reception and aesthetics. Narcissus and Pygmalion has, since its first publication in Italian, contributed to the poet's critical fortunes over the past few decades through its combination of sophisticated literary critical thinking and patient argument applied to the poetics of self-reflexivity and, in particular, to the fundamental interface between the verbal and the visual in the Metamorphoses. A substantial introduction accompanies this new translation into English, positioning Rosati's work anew in the forefront of current discussions of Ovidian aesthetics and intermediality, in the wake of the postmodern culture of the simulacrum.
