Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume publication offers an in-depth analysis of ophidian symbolism in Eastern Africa, while setting the topic within its regional and historical context: namely, with regards to the rest of Africa, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Greek world, ancient Palestine, Arabia, India, and medieval and pre-Christian Europe. Through the ages, most of those areas have connected with Eastern Africa in a broad sense, where ophidian symbolism was as “rampant” and far-reaching, if not more so, as anywhere else on the continent, and perhaps in past civilisations. Much as in the wider context, snakes were held to be long-lived, closely related to holes, caverns, trees, and water, life and death, and credited with a liking for milk. Even though ophidian symbolism has always been developed out of the outstanding biological and ethological features of snakes, the process of symbolisation, which plays a crucial role in the elaboration of cultural systems and the shaping of human experience, was inevitably at work. This second volume focuses on southern Abyssinia, an area of Eastern Africa latu senso where the connection between snakes and paramount religious leaders was especially far-reaching. Their clans were said to be the outcome of sexual encounters between a young woman and an ophidian. These leaders bred and fed snakes. Some of them buried dead snakes in their compounds. Their curse was likened to the bite of a deadly serpent. This volume is devoted to a few communities of southern Abyssinia, notably the Oromo, an important group that has fascinated European travellers, missionaries, and social science specialists over a period of 150 years. The rich Oromo ethnographic record lends itself to full-circle analysis. This volume represents a significant contribution to the study of the mysterious “snake priests” of the Oromo, Hoor, Konso, and Burji peoples. In Eastern Africa, the meanings attributed to snakes were multifaceted and paradoxical. Overall, the two volumes of this publication show that African snake symbolism broadly echoed the diverse representations of ancient civilisations. The widely acknowledged assimilation of snakes to death and Evil is therefore unrepresentative, both historically and culturally.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Punica, Vol. 2 of 2: Books IX-XVII Meanwhile Paulus underwent a change: he felt and looked now as when he stood after the battle and the field lay before him strewn with Roman corpses for the imminent disaster pressed upon his very sight. So sits a mother stunned and senseless, when all hope of her son's life is lost, and she cherishes with a last fruitless embrace the limbs that are not yet cold. He spoke thus: By the walls of Rome so often shaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Silius Italicus Punica 2 written by Neil W. Bernstein and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silius Italicus' Punica, a Latin epic poem on the second Punic war written at the end of the first century CE, is both the longest Latin poem remaining from antiquity and the only surviving work of its author. This volume represents the first full-length scholarly commentary in any language on Book 2 of the seventeen-book epic, synchronous with a recent resurgence in scholarly interest in this work, and includes an extensive introduction to the poem's historical and literary contexts, along with the full Latin text, English translation, apparatus criticus, and detailed line-by-line commentary. While the commentary addresses a broad range of textual, linguistic, and literary topics, the introduction pays particular attention to Silius' adaptation of prior literary tradition, especially the earlier Latin epics of Virgil, Ovid, and Lucan, situating him in his historical and literary context. The text and apparatus criticus have been updated since the publication of Josef Delz's Teubner edition of the Punica in 1987 to include a much more comprehensive account of recent emendations; the result is a keenly focused and cutting-edge critical edition that will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Silius Italicus and the Punica for years to come.
