Ancient Lives

A biography of Vergil, Rome’s greatest poet, by the acclaimed translator of the Aeneid &nbsp; “Ms. Ruden has converted the writer of the Aeneid from a noble and stodgy ‘ancient’ into our contemporary . . . persuasively re-imagined [as] a sympathetic, three-dimensional figure. . . . The existence of the Aeneid is cause for gratitude. So is Ms. Ruden’s sensitive, celebratory portrait of its maker.”—Willard Spiegelman, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. &nbsp; But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure; we know that he was born into a modest rural family, that he led a private and solitary life, and that, in spite of poor health and unusual emotional vulnerabilities, he worked tirelessly to achieve exquisite new effects in verse. Vergil’s most famous work, the Aeneid, was commissioned by the emperor Augustus, who published the epic despite Vergil’s dying wish that it be destroyed. &nbsp; Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct his life. Through her intimate knowledge of Vergil’s work, she brings to life a poet who was committed to creating something astonishingly new and memorable, even at great personal cost.

Sammlung Tusculum

Bei dem Goldenen Esel (Titel in den Handschriften: Metamorphoses) des Apuleius (2. Jh. n. Chr.) handelt es sich um den einzigen vollständig erhaltenen Prosaroman der römischen Literatur und um einen der ganz großen der Weltliteratur. Das von einem Ich-Erzähler dargebotene Geschehen gleicht dem eines pikaresken Romans und hat neuzeitliche Romanciers immer wieder inspiriert. Breite Nachwirkung erlebten auch die eingelegten, z. T. überaus pikanten Novellen, allen voran das "Märchen" von Amor und Psyche, u. a. in Boccaccios Decamerone. Reges Interesse hat auch stets die Beschreibung des Isis-Kults im letzten der elf Bücher geweckt. Eine neue Tusculum-Ausgabe - die alte stammt von 1958 - ist ein Desiderat, weil der Text erst seit den achtziger Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts auf der Basis der modernen Literaturwissenschaft interpretiert wird (zuletzt von einer international renommierten Forschergruppe in Groningen) und die Resultate dieser Forschung unbedingt bei der Textredaktion, Übersetzung und Erschließung des Werks berücksichtigt werden sollten. Die deutsche Wiedergabe orientiert sich an der Zielsprache, ist aber anders als diejenige der Vorgänger so wörtlich wie möglich und erfüllt somit den Anspruch an eine moderne Bilingue.

Der Goldene Esel oder Metamorphosen

A magnificent new translation of the Odyssey by best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn 'This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet. Daniel Mendelsohn's rendering of Homer's text is both highly readable and faithful to the original metre. It's impressive, thrilling stuff... a sonorous new translation' - Edith Hall, The Telegraph With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike - a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles. Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

A New Translation by Daniel Mendelsohn

The Odyssey

A biography of Horace, one of the most popular poets from antiquity, revealing the little-known man behind his famous lines"Peter Stothard is a master of modern writing about ancient Rome, of vividly bringing to life its poetry and its poets."-Mary BeardA New Statesman Book of the Year 2025Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been read. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but.In this book, the first modern retelling of Horace's life, Peter Stothard follows the poet from his birth as the son of a formerly enslaved father through his rise to the highest circles of Roman society. He shines a light on how shattering experiences in the war to save Rome's republic shaped the loyal servant and revolutionary artist he became. With astute scholarship and sympathy, Stothard follows Horace's rise from humble beginnings to the social and political heights of the autocracy he had fought to prevent.

A New History of Homer’s World, Through the Women Written Out of It

Mythica

Student Editions

A Student Edition of Euripides' play, which accessibly unpacks Greek tragedy in its social context, issues of translation and adaptation, and performance approaches over the centuries. Euripides' play Medea was first produced in 431BC and continues to be produced globally to this day. Its power and timeless appeal for audiences rests in its portrait of a woman driven to murder the new wife of the man who abandoned her and to murder her own children. In more recent times, Medea's actions have been taken as a symbol of female power in an otherwise male-dominated society. Will Shüler's commentary in this Student Edition looks at the violence of the play - both onstage and off; the original performance conditions; staging challenges, both then and now (including Medea's exit on a dragon); the notion of myth and how Greek tragedians were telling old stories to get new meanings; and how the play has evolved through translation. It considers a range of productions up to the present day, including the 2014 National Theatre production directed by Carrie Cracknell and starring Helen McCrory; Sophie Okonedo as Medea at the Soho Theatre, London, in 2023; and the 2000 Australian version, Black Medea, which interpreted Medea as an indigenous woman brought to a city by her ambitious husband.

This companion volume to The Book of Swindles: Selections from a Late Ming Collection presents sensational stories of scams that range from the ingenious to the absurd to the lurid, many featuring sorcery, sex, and extreme violence.

A woman seduces her landlord to extort the family farm. Gamblers recruit a wily prostitute to get a rich young man back in the game. Silver counterfeiters wreak havoc for traveling merchants. A wealthy widow is drugged and robbed by a lodger posing as a well-to-do student. Vengeful judges and corrupt clerks pervert the course of justice. Cunning soothsayers spur on a plot to overthrow the emperor. Yet good sometimes triumphs, as when amateur sleuths track down a crew of homicidal boatmen or a cold-case murder is exposed by a frog. These are just a few of the tales of crime and depravity appearing in More Swindles from the Late Ming, a book that offers a panorama of vice—and words of warning—from one seventeenth-century writer. This companion volume to The Book of Swindles: Selections from a Late Ming Collection presents sensational stories of scams that range from the ingenious to the absurd to the lurid, many featuring sorcery, sex, and extreme violence. Together, the two volumes represent the first complete translation into any language of a landmark Chinese anthology, making an essential contribution to the global literature of trickery and fraud. An introduction explores the geography of grift, the role of sex and family relations, and the portrayal of Buddhist clergy and others claiming supernatural powers. Opening a window onto the colorful world of crime and deception in late imperial China, this book testifies to the enduring popularity of stories about scoundrels and their schemes.

Materiale Textkulturen

Eucharistie und Kannibalismus: So konträr ihre kulturelle Verortung auch scheinen mag, umso verstörender wirkten schon im 16. Jahrhundert die Analogien zwischen beiden Konzepten. Ist der ,wilde Kannibale' Amerikas nicht nur fleischgewordene Metapher für den ,kulturellen Kannibalismus' des Kolonialismus selbst, sondern auch eine Materialisierung anderer im frühneuzeitlichen Europa zirkulierender Diskurse des Verschlingens und Einverleibens? Anhand verschiedener Textbeispiele aus den romanischen Literaturen (französisch, spanisch, portugiesisch) des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts diskutieren zwölf Aufsätze dieses kompetitive Feld der Bedeutungszuschreibung von Einverleiben, Verkörpern und Verdauen zwischen den kulturellen Praktiken des Kannibalismus und der katholischen Eucharistie. So werden Analogien und Verschiebungen zwischen verschiedenen Diskursen und Textgenres sichtbar, wie Reiseberichten, Historiographie, Medizin, Theater, Burleske und Pikareske oder der Mystik. Ein abschließender Teil widmet sich dem Rewriting dieses frühneuzeitlichen Korpus in Gegenwartskulturen und -literaturen Lateinamerikas und Frankreichs, was das kulturhistorische und poetische Potential dieser emblematischen Kippfigur bestätigt und weiterführt.

Kannibalismus und Eucharistie

Theophrastos von Eresos (um 371 - um 287 v. Chr.), Schüler und Nachfolger des Aristoteles, trat als Philosoph und Naturforscher hervor. Zwei unter seinem Namen überlieferte Werke untersuchen Wind und Wetter und waren bisher nicht in deutscher Übersetzung zugänglich. Die Schrift über die Winde behandelt die Winde, ihre Ursachen und ihre Wirkungen auf Natur und Mensch, die Schrift über Wetterzeichen diskutiert die Möglichkeiten der Wettervorhersage anhand von Signalen, die sich in der Natur und bei Tieren beobachten lassen. Gegenstand der Überlegungen sind aber auch die Wirkungen des Klimas auf den Menschen - und des Menschen auf das Klima. In zweisprachiger Präsentation, mit einer ausführlichen Einführung und mit hilfreichen Erläuterungen eröffnet der Band den Zugang zu zwei Werken des bedeutenden Aristoteles-Schülers und ermöglicht damit allen am Altertum und seiner Naturforschung Interessierten, das antike Nachdenken über Wind und Wetter aus erster Hand nachzuvollziehen.

THE INSTANT TIMES BESTSELLER Award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser takes readers on an epic journey to uncover the astonishing true story of the real women behind ancient Greece's greatest legends, and the real heroes of those ancient epics, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey . . . 'Bold and intellectually thrilling . . . blending history and science, rigorous scholarship and dazzling feats of imagination.' TOM HOLLAND, historian and co-host of 'The Rest is History' podcast 'Absolutely blew me away . . . rich, evocative and original work . . . this book is quite wonderful.' ELODIE HARPER, author of The Wolf Den 'Offers a dazzling new way of thinking about the ancient world . . . a wonderful, beautifully written and important book.' DAN JONES, author of Henry V 'A book the world has been waiting for . . . I loved it.' BETTANY HUGHES, author of The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Contrary to perceptions built up over three millennia, ancient history is not all about men - and it's not only men's stories that deserve to be told. In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western world's greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homer's epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent astonishing archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women - queens, mothers, warriors, slaves - were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not - until now) remembered them. A riveting new history of the Bronze Age Aegean and a journey through Homer's epics charted entirely by women - from Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra and Aphrodite to Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso and Penelope - Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of the reality behind the often-mythologized women of Greece's greatest epics, and of the ancient world itself as we learn ever more about it.
