Book The Emergence of the Lyric Canon

Download or read book The Emergence of the Lyric Canon written by Theodora A. Hadjimichael and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hellenistic period was an era of literary canons, of privileged texts and collections. One of the most stable of these consisted of the nine (rarely ten) lyric poets: whether the selection was based on poetic quality, popularity, or the availability of texts in the Library of Alexandria, the Lyric Canon offers a valuable and revealing window on the reception and survival of lyric in antiquity. This volume explores the complexities inherent in the process by which lyric poetry was canonized, and discusses questions connected with the textual transmission and preservation of lyric poems from the archaic period through to the Hellenistic era. It firstly contextualizes lyric poetry geographically, and then focuses on a broad range of sources that played a critical role in the survival of lyric poetry - in particular, comedy, Plato, Aristotle's Peripatetic school, and the Hellenistic scholars - to discuss the reception of the nine canonical lyric poets and their work. By exploring the ways in which fifth- and fourth-century sources interpreted lyric material, and the role they played both in the scholarly work of the Alexandrians and in the creation of what we conventionally call the Hellenistic Lyric Canon, it elucidates what can be defined as the prevailing pattern in the transmission of lyric poetry, as well as the place of Bacchylides as a puzzling exception to this norm. The overall discussion conclusively demonstrates that the canonizing process of the lyric poets was already at work from the fifth century BC and that it is reflected both in the evaluation of lyric by fourth-century thinkers and in the activities of the Hellenistic scholars in the Library of Alexandria.

  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Euripides written by Guido Bastianini and published by de Gruyter. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Commentaria et Lexica Graeca in Papyris reperta, a unique papyrological collection is being published. The otherwise scattered publications of pieces of ancient Greek commentary written on papyrus - i.e. the hypomnemata and notes on Greek authors, glossaries and lexica - are brought together in alphabetical order in this lexicon. In addition to the fragments the lexicon provides the user with details of their place and date of origin, current location and of all publications about them to date (see sample page overleaf). These are followed by commentaries taking into account all available material, written in the language of the respective commentator. This work has been compiled by more than 40 scholars from different European and non-European countries. One or two instalments of 250 to 300 pages each are to be published every two years. The entire work, which will amount to some 15 instalments, is divided into four main parts: I: Commentaria et lexica in auctores; Pars II: Commentaria in adespota; Pars III: Lexica; Pars IV: Concordantiae et Indices. Papyri not published yet are reproduced in the appendix. Not only papyrologists will find an immeasurable fund of source material here; the CLGP will be an essential source of information for every larger classical studies library because of the Greek authors it covers, from Aeschylus to Thucydides.

Book History of Ancient Greek Scholarship

Download or read book History of Ancient Greek Scholarship written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to offer a unified historical treatment of all that is usually understood as “ancient scholarship” or “ancient philology” and is the first modern work to cover a period from the beginnings to the fall of Byzantium after John Edwin Sandys’ work published between 1903-1908. The field “ancient scholarship” includes the exegesis of Greek authors, the editing of their texts, orderly collections of materials useful for exegetical purposes – such as lexeis, onomatologies, collections of antiquarian materials et similia –, the study of grammar, reflection on language, and everything that can be linked to this sphere, that is to say literature and the instruments for interpreting it. If it is hard today to imagine such a work being undertaken by a single scholar, it is worth underlining the benefits offered by a volume with multiple expert voices in a field so complex and multiform. The book is based on the four historiographical chapters of Brill's Companion to Ancient Greek Scholarship (2015), which have been enlarged, updated and rethought.

Book Song Regained

  • Publisher : Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
  • Release : 2022-01-19
  • ISBN : 3110711001
  • Pages : 404 pages

Download or read book Song Regained written by Margarita Alexandrou and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from relatively few exceptions of texts which survive intact, what we have of Ancient Greek literature remains, to a great degree, fragmentary. As a result it is often misread, overlooked or mined not for its own sake but to support the investigation of texts which survive in their entirety. This collection of chapters addresses a range of poetic fragments, with a strong (though not exclusive) focus on Archaic epic and lyric, and an emphasis on the papyrological tradition. Its main purpose is to showcase effective methodologies through case studies, through a “hands-on” approach assisted by a robust theoretical underpinning. The topics covered include textual criticism, the editing of fragmentary corpora, the role of palaeography and the physical features of writing materials, the study of ancient editions, annotations and paraliterary texts, matters of indirect or mixed tradition, and fragment placement and attribution. This volume will certainly be a rewarding read, intended equally for new researchers who wish to acquire or improve the skills needed to deal with fragmentary texts and for established scholars who may draw on the authors’ insights to navigate the field improving their experience and enriching their knowledge.

Book Divine Talk

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gunther Martin
  • Publisher : OUP Oxford
  • Release : 2009-09-03
  • ISBN : 0191571326
  • Pages : 360 pages

Download or read book Divine Talk written by Gunther Martin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gunther Martin examines the references to religion in the speeches of Demosthenes and other Athenian orators in the 4th century BC. In Part I he demonstrates the role religion plays in the rhetorical strategy of speeches in political trials: his main argument is that speakers had to be consistent in their approach to religion throughout their career. It was not possible to change from being a pragmatic to a `religious' speaker and back, but it was possible, when writing for others, to use religion in a way one would not have used it when delivering a speech oneself. In Part II Martin deals with assembly speeches and speeches in private trials, in which religious references are far scarcer. In the assembly, unless genuinely religious matters are discussed, religion seems to have been practically inadmissible, while in private trials it is procedural elements that supply the majority of religious references.

Book Treasuries of Literature

Download or read book Treasuries of Literature written by Federico Favi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-06-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions included in this volume deal with the indirect tradition of classical Greek texts in anthologies, lexica and scholia. The innovative approach taken consists in considering the indirect sources as texts worth studying in their own right, rather than as repositories of older, more important texts. The indirect tradition in scholarly literature is thus considered in terms of its broader historical and cultural implications.

Book Greek Religion and Culture  the Bible and the Ancient Near East

Download or read book Greek Religion and Culture the Bible and the Ancient Near East written by Jan Bremmer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decades there has been an increasing interest in the relationship between Greek religion & culture and the Ancient Near East. This challenging book contributes greatly to this interest by studying the Near Eastern background of important Greek myths, such as those of the creation of the world and the first woman, the Flood, the Golden Fleece, the Titans and travelling seers, but also of the births of Attis and Asclepius as well as the origins of the terms ‘paradise’ and ‘magic’. It also shows that, in turn, Greek literature influenced Jewish stories of divine epiphanies and that the Greek scapegoat myths and rituals contributed to the central Christian notion of atonement.

Book Greek Lyric

  • Author : Felix Budelmann
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2018-05-24
  • ISBN : 1108579167
  • Pages : 342 pages

Download or read book Greek Lyric written by Felix Budelmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corpus of Greek lyric holds a twofold attraction. It provides glimpses of the song culture of early Greece in which lyric performance had a central place, and it presents us with some captivating and memorable poetry which has been admired since antiquity. This edition gathers poems by seven of the nine canonical lyricists (Alcman, Alcaeus, Sappho, Stesichorus, Ibycus, Anacreon, Simonides), as well as a number of carmina popularia and carmina convivalia and passages from Timotheus' Persians. Both longer and shorter pieces are included. The introduction discusses major issues in the study of Greek lyric including genre, performance and transmission. The commentary is literary in emphasis but also treats questions of syntax, textual reconstruction, metre and dialect. The volume will be of interest to higher-level undergraduates and graduate students as well as to scholars.

Book History of Classical Philology

Download or read book History of Classical Philology written by Diego Lanza and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated history of classical philology had long been a desideratum of scholars of the ancient world. The volume edited by Diego Lanza and Gherardo Ugolini is structured in three parts. In the first one (“Towards a science of antiquity”) the approach of Anglo-Saxon philology (R. Bentley) and the institutionalization of the discipline in the German academic world (C.G. Heyne and F.A. Wolf) are described. In the second part (“The illusion of the archetype. Classical Studies in the Germany of the 19th Century”) the theoretical contributions and main methodological disputes that followed are analysed (K. Lachmann, J.G. Hermann, A. Boeckh, F. Nietzsche and U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff). The last part (“The classical philology of the 20th century”) treats the redefinition of classical studies after the Great War in Germany (W. Jaeger) and in Italy (G. Pasquali). In this context, the contributions of papyrology and of the new images of antiquity that have emerged in the works of writers, narrators, and translators of our time have been considered. This part finishes with the presentation of some of the most influential scholars of the last decades (B. Snell, E.R. Dodds, J.-P. Vernant, B. Gentili, N. Loraux).

Download or read book FrC 25 2 Diphilos frr 59 85 written by Ioanna Karamanou and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume forms the second part of the three-volume commentary on the fragments of Diphilus, who belongs to the prominent triad of the poets of New Comedy alongside Menander and Philemon. The present volume comprises the text and an English translation of the fragments of twenty-two plays of Diphilus, followed by a full-scale (philological, thematic, literary, interpretative, historical) commentary that also yields insight into the reception of Diphilan comedy in Roman theatre. This in-depth study of the Diphilan techniques of verbal humour and performance aims at shedding light on the dramatist's distinctive place in the comic tradition, as well as showcasing a degree of variation in the overall image of the production of new comedy.
