Easterling P. E.: Studies in Greek
Literature: Volume 2, Early Greek Liter

Studies in Greek Literature: Volume 2, Early Greek Literature, Reception, Ancient and Modern Scholarship

What today we deem as characteristic of the city of Rome was largely the product of one particular ideology of Rome; our understanding of the city's spatial relationships and our sense of its visual familiarity have been orchestrated by the vision of one man, Benito Mussolini. Many students of antiquity are aware that the Fascist regime sponsored excavations throughout Italy and the Mediterranean. Yet perhaps more significant is the fact of Mussolini's creation of the physical vision of Roman antiquity, literally how we view and thereby interpret the Roman city. The dominant vistas from which we study the emblematic Roman monuments were all designed and constructed between 1925 and 1942.

What today we deem as characteristic of the city of Rome was largely the product of one particular ideology of Rome; our understanding of the city’s spatial relationships and our sense of its visual familiarity have been orchestrated by the vision of one man, Benito Mussolini. Many students of antiquity are aware that the Fascist regime sponsored excavations throughout Italy and the Mediterranean. Yet perhaps more significant is the fact of Mussolini’s creation of the physical vision of Roman antiquity, literally how we view and thereby interpret the Roman city. The dominant vistas from which we study the emblematic Roman monuments were all designed and constructed between 1925 and 1942. Mussolini was eager to reveal the ruins of the past to emphasize the ways in which Fascist Italy was a visible improvement on Imperial Rome, and how antiquity relied on modern policies for its very survival. Towards these ends, the Fascist regime was a great supporter of archaeological scholarship and many prominent archaeologists wrote analyses of Roman monuments in genuine support of Fascist principles. The construction of Fascist doctrine and aesthetics developed hand-in-hand with the rise of modern Roman archaeology. This volume seeks to excavate the cultural layer that Fascist ideology placed upon contemporary archaeology, and to understand the ways in which this context continues both to obscure and enlighten our vision of Roman antiquity.

Classical Literature and Society

"Presenting a new approach to Euripides' plays, this book explores the playwright's ancient tragedies in relation to quotation culture. Treating extant works and lost works side-by-side, Matthew Wright presents a selective survey of ways in which Euripidean tragedy was quoted within antiquity, both in social contexts (on the comic stage, at symposia, in law courts, in education) and in different literary genres (drama, biography, oratory, philosophy, literary scholarship, history and anthologies). There is also a discussion of the connection between quotability and classic status, where Wright asks what quotations can tell us about ancient reading habits. The implication is that Euripides actively participated in quotation culture by deliberately making certain portions of his plays stand out as especially quotable"--

Revenge, Punishment and Anger in Ancient Greek Justice

How the wisdom of Herodotus can fortify us against political falsehoods and violent extremism &nbsp; Nearly 2,500 years ago, the Greek writer Herodotus introduced the concept of objective truth derived from factual investigation and empirical deduction. Writing just before the start of the catastrophic Peloponnesian War (431–404 BCE), Herodotus addressed an increasingly polarized Greek world. His Histories demonstrates that the capacity for humane moral action depends on the ability to resist unthinking allegiance to authoritative fictions. Herodotus offers an indispensable, nonpartisan approach for countering poisonous ideologies and violent conflict emanating from all extremes of the political kaleidoscope. &nbsp; Interpreting some of Herodotus’s most compelling stories, Emily Katz Anhalt illuminates this ancient writer’s vital insights concerning sexual violence, deception, foreign ways, political equality, and more. The Histories urges us to value reality, restrain destructive passions, and acknowledge the essential humanity of every human being—crucial guidance for navigating our own divisive and volatile political climate. By inviting us to take responsibility for our own choices and their consequences, Herodotus exposes autocratic leadership and abuses of power as self-defeating. Herodotus guides readers in assembling and assessing information, distinguishing fact from fiction, and making compassionate moral evaluations. The ancient Greeks never achieved an egalitarian, just society. Herodotus equips us to do better.

Classical Diaspora

"Pâeter Hajdu examines the cultivation of the Classics as an intellectual framework and crucial ingredient of the western aspect of Hungarian national identity. This book approaches the relationship of modern Hungarian culture to classical heritage from the various viewpoints of identity politics, education, translation history, scholarship, and its impact on literature. When the Hungarian nation-building project developed ideas of national identity, it necessarily incorporated the historical narrative according to which the Hungarians arrived at their current homeland in the Middle Ages, and only later did it adopt European culture. The duplicity of a mostly imagined Asian, pagan, barbaric or nomadic culture, and a Western, Christian, civilized identity, deeply rooted in European culture, has played and continues to play a role in the Hungarian discourse"--

Bloomsbury Ancient Comedy Companions

Plautus' Poenulus (or Little Carthaginian) is a staggering work. Performed in the years after Rome's traumatic struggle with Hannibal's Carthage, the comedy stages the restoration of a Carthaginian family divided through enslavement. This book explores the play's many themes such as slavery and war trauma, which resonate especially today, in a series of short thematic chapters followed by a continuous reading of the play. By presenting to a post-war Roman audience a tale of heartbreak and heartache among Carthaginians, and by setting the action in a Greece marked by comedic expectations and the geography of contemporary imperial conquest, Plautus' play stands as perhaps the most powerful surviving meditation on a Mediterranean world changed by Roman expansion. The play is populated by war veterans, enslaved peoples - including sex-workers, domestic slaves, and those who labour in the countryside - and an intersectional cast of Carthaginians and Greeks, a diversity that prompts audience interaction with a wide range of socio-cultural topics relevant to Plautus' Rome. By engaging weighty matters through song, slapstick, puns, and orientalising spectacle, Poenulus appears to defang charged issues, but its bite is deep. The play also includes one of the most metatheatrical prologues of all surviving Roman dramatic works, which thematizes the act of writing comedy and the constitution of the Roman theatrical audience.

Bloomsbury Neo-Latin Series: Early Modern Texts and Anthologies

On June 13, 1753 the Irene set sail from London to New York. One of her passengers was Christian Wedsted, a Moravian missionary headed to his post in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. While many travelers would chronicle their transatlantic journeys, Wedsted chose to recount his in 200 lines of Latin poetry, imitating the preferred form of the ancient Roman poet Ovid. This poem is one of about 45 Latin poems that Wedsted composed in Germany, England, and Pennsylvania, all of which are presented here together for the first time alongside translations into English. A critical introduction and commentary provide historical, literary, and religious context for Wedsted's poetry, across an oeuvre containing birthday poems, impassioned religious verses, and personal anecdotes about life in colonial Pennsylvania. At around 1200 lines, the poems make up one of the largest extant collections of 18th-century Latin poetry from the Americas. Moravian piety is central to Wedsted's identity, and he exchanges poems with important Moravian personalities, weaving together classical material and Christian material to create an original and unique project in colonial America. Many of the poems are experiments in genre that put ancient models and meters to work in new contexts. Half of the poems were written after his arrival in America, and as such they offer a rare window into life on the colonial frontier.
