Book Greek Mythology and Poetics

Download or read book Greek Mythology and Poetics written by Gregory Nagy and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gregory Nagy here provides a far-reaching assessment of the relationship between myth and ritual in ancient Greek society. Nagy illuminates in particular the forces of interaction and change that transformed the Indo-European linguistic and cultural heritage into distinctly Greek social institutions between the eighth and the fifth centuries B.C. Included in the volume are thirteen of Nagy's major essays—all extensively revised for book publication—on various aspects of the Hellenization of Indo-European poetics, myth and ritual, and social ideology. The primary aim of this book is to examine the Greek language as a reflection of society, with special attention to its function as a vehicle for transmitting mythology and poetics. Nagy's emphasis on the language of the Greeks, and on its comparison with the testimony of related Indo-European languages such as Latin, Indic, and Hittite, reflects his long-standing interest in Indo-European linguistics. The individual chapters examine the development of Hellenic poetics in the traditions of Homer and Hesiod; the Hellenization of Indo-European myths and rituals, including myths of the afterlife, rituals of fire, and symbols in the Greek lyric; and the Hellenization of Indo-European social ideology, with reference to such cultural institutions as the concept of the city-state. A path-breaking application of the principles of social anthropology, comparative mythology, historical linguistics, and oral poetry theory to the study of classics, Greek Mythology and Poetics will be an invaluable resource for classicists and other scholars of linguistics and literary theory.

  • Author : Dante
  • Publisher : Macmillan + ORM
  • Release : 2014-08-19
  • ISBN : 1466878479
  • Pages : 459 pages

Download or read book The Inferno of Dante written by Dante and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prize-winning verse translation of Dante’s epic journey through hell: “splendid . . . fast-paced, idiomatic, and accurate” (Edward Hirsch, The New Yorker). This widely praised version of Dante’s masterpiece, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award of the Academy of American Poets, is more idiomatic and approachable than its many predecessors. Former US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky employs slant rhyme and near rhyme to preserve Dante’s terza rima form without distorting the flow of English idiom. The result is a clear and vigorous translation that is also unique, student-friendly, and faithful to the original: “A brilliant success,” as Bernard Knox wrote in The New York Review of Books.
