Burgess Jonathan S.: The Travels of
Odysseus

The Travels of Odysseus

Sammlung Tusculum

This volume brings together the Letter to Markella and the Sentences of the Neoplatonist Porphyrios in a bilingual reader's edition with an introduction and notes, as well as a number of fragments that tie in with the content of both works. The Latin translation of the Sentences by Marsilio Ficino rounds off the selection. Thematically, the texts combine the consideration of the soul from different perspectives: concrete instructions on ethically correct behaviour; theoretical explanations on the nature of the soul; the relationship of the soul to the body and the spiritual realm; discussion of other schools of thought. Although the two main writings belong to different genres, the sententious character of the Letter to Markella also forms a bridge to the Sentences in addition to the thematic connections. The texts offer a compact overview of Neoplatonic principles as well as suggestions on the big questions about our own soul and how we want to live.

Indispensable for students and scholars of Latin literature, ancient rhetoric, and Roman law, this new critical edition, destined to become the new standard, is accompanied by a thorough commentary that overturns long-held assumptions about Roman legal procedure and reveals Cicero's innovative rhetorical manipulation of the occasion.

Cicero: Divinatio in Q. Caecilium

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.

Plautus: Poenulus

Heresy is a brilliant book' - The Times 'Enthralling . . . an absolute pleasure to read' - The Sunday Telegraph ?In the beginning was the Word,' says the Gospel of John. This sentence - and the words of all four gospels - is central to the teachings of the Christian Church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind. Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead. Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable - even heretical - and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.

From the author of The Darkening Age, Heresy is perfect for readers of Tom Holland, Karen Armstrong, Mary Beard and Bettany Hughes.

Heresy

The questions posed by disability studies scholarship are increasingly of interest to medieval studies scholars and there have been a wealth of books published on the intersection of these two fields of research over the past two decades. More recently, medieval scholars have developed a framework for considering more specifically medieval ways of thinking about disability, analyzing the medieval conception of the different or 'othered' body and thinking through 'medieval things': such as the responses to injury and resulting impairment in contemporary law, literature, and art; the impaired body as a site for miraculous transformation; the presence of physical and mental difference in different cultural modes than exist in the modern world; and the role of theosophical thought in characterizing difference. This is the first volume to survey this field as a whole, bringing together the most notable scholars in the field alongside up-and-coming academics, to analyse recent studies and to suggest directions for future research. Chapters are organized into four categories that treat broadly the current questions of the field as they apply to each contributor's area of expertise: Articulations of Difference; Critical Perspectives; Traditions of Medieval Thought; and Disability and Material Cultures. Each category is introduced by a leading figure in the field, and the volume is concluded with an Afterword.

De Gruyter Studium

Die erste Einführung in die Sprache und Literatur des Mittelniederdeutschen verknüpft literarhistorische Darstellung und sprachliche Beschreibung mit dem Ziel, eine umfassende und bewusste Lektürekompetenz zu fördern. Besonderheiten ihrer Konzeption sind, dass Sprache und Literatur stets zusammengedacht werden, dass die Einführung an der Überlieferung orientiert ist und dass ausgewählte Texte mit kleineren Übungen in die Kapitel integriert sind. Mittelniederdeutsche Sprache wird aus synchroner Perspektive auf den verschiedenen grammatischen Ebenen beschrieben. Diachrone Aspekte werden dort ergänzend einbezogen, wo sie dem Textverständnis dienen. Um ein breites Verständnis des Mittelniederdeutschen zu ermöglichen und das Lesen und Übersetzen der Quellen zu erleichtern, wird auf sprachliche Variation als ein wesentliches Merkmal historischer Sprachstufen eingegangen. Die Sprachlehre berücksichtigt Ergebnisse aktueller Forschung und bezieht Daten des "Referenzkorpus Mittelniederdeutsch/Niederrheinisch (1200-1650)" ein. Die sprachlichen Phänomene werden an den Texten veranschaulicht, die der literaturgeschichtliche Teil der Einführung vorstellt. Orientiert an Gattungstraditionen und Texttypen sowie an herausragenden Schreiborten und greifbaren Autorpersönlichkeiten wird die Vielfalt mittelniederdeutscher Textkultur abgebildet. Dabei wirft das Lehrbuch nicht nur einen Blick auf kanonische Quellen der Überlieferung, sondern auch auf eher randständig wahrgenommene Texte und Textgruppen. Das Mittelniederdeutsche wird in seiner zeitlichen und räumlichen Breite abgebildet. So wird textliche Vielfalt sichtbar. Um die LeserInnen in die Lage zu versetzen, mittelniederdeutsche Texte selbständig zu bearbeiten, werden die Primärtexte umfänglich in das Lehrbuch eingebunden. An ihnen werden nicht nur literaturgeschichtliche Informationen und literaturwissenschaftliche Ansätze veranschaulicht, sondern anhand von Übungen auch das Wissen um grammatische Merkmale geschärft. Auf diese Weise wird die Lektüre-, Übersetzungs- und Analysekompetenz gefördert. Ergänzt werden die Sprachlehre und die Literaturgeschichte durch eine Einführung in zentrale Arbeitsmethoden wie die Nutzung von Wörterbüchern, Grammatiken, Korpora und Atlanten sowie in die individuelle Literaturrecherche.

By demonstrating the importance of horrific motifs in Greek and Roman epic, this book challenges existing conceptions of what an epic poem is and of what it means to engage with such a text. Taking the reader through canonical and less-well-known ancient epic, Brockliss argues that contrary to conventional readings, 'the horrific' is central to these texts. In fact, these poems dwell as much if not more on foul displays of human physicality as on depictions of a sublime heroism, prioritize psychological disturbance over tragic suffering, and set the intrusions of unquiet ghosts in tension with celebrations of the safely dead. This book thus offers a fresh perspective on a literary genre that is central both to ancient cultures and to the later western tradition. Alongside happy recollections of past glories, ancient epics offer readers a shocking and immersive experience that confronts them with the bare facts of human physiques and minds. Rather than focusing narrowly on the eminent achievements of a few, horror in epic offers an egalitarian portrait of what makes us human.

Exploring persistent connections between absolute rulers and dramatic performance in Greek and Roman drama and history, Anne Duncan offers the reader a comprehensive insight into the juxtaposition between tyranny and theater in the Greco-Roman world. From the mad kings of Greek and Roman tragedy to the relationships that Greek tyrants and Roman emperors cultivated with actors and playwrights, absolute power has had an inescapably theatricalising effect on ruler and regime. Traversing various Greco-Roman playwrights, such as Euripides, Sophocles and Seneca, this book analyses the dangerous, unstable tyrants of ancient tragedy alongside the dangerous, unstable tyrants of ancient historiography in order to map out the ancient world’s discourses about the allure and peril of absolute power. Duncan argues that, while any kind of political display has theatrical qualities, it is tyranny that has an especially theatrical mode. Her conclusion is that tyrants and playwrights began to influence each other over the course of Greco-Roman antiquity, so that tragedy tyrants began to resemble real rulers, and real rulers began to style themselves after tragedy tyrants, each trying to tap into the other’s power to command audiences.

Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

Metafiction, the practice in fictional texts of displaying an awareness of their fictional status, highlighting it, or even exploring it after the manner of literary criticism, existed in ancient Greek and Roman literature. This book demonstrates by cumulative weight of examples the existence of metafiction in classical literature, and in so doing constitutes an 'archaeology' of the origins of metafiction in Western literature. Author Owen Hodkinson engages with a wide range of approaches to fiction and metafiction, and explores detailed examples or case studies from ancient texts. This book provides for the first time for classical and modern literature scholars a full definition of metafiction which uses the earliest metafictional texts in western literature as its examples rather than only modern novels, and the first general but detailed and theoretically-grounded discussion and definition of metafiction aimed at scholars and students of classical literature.

Metafiction, the practice in fictional texts of displaying an awareness of their fictional status, highlighting it, or even exploring it after the manner of literary criticism, existed in ancient Greek and Roman literature. The significance of metafiction to this field is very great—arguably even more so than within modern literature studies, despite the greater prevalence of metafictions in later texts—because it necessarily implies that a text is fictional, and that its author was aware of it as such. Some have argued that the ancients had no clear concept of ‘fiction’, nor the literary-critical tools to think about and analyse it. While some other scholars have recently begun to refer to metafiction in studies devoted to individual literary texts, no general study exists of the use of metafiction in ancient literature and the implications of this for our understanding of fiction in antiquity.This book demonstrates by cumulative weight of examples the existence of metafiction in classical literature, and in so doing constitutes an ‘archaeology’ of the origins of metafiction in Western literature.

The Invention of Self-Conscious Fiction

Metafiction in Classical Literature

Classical Diaspora

This open-access volume explores the reception of Graeco-Romano culture from Ireland's earliest medieval scholars such as Columbanus and John Scottus Eriugena to later writers including James Joyce, Seamus Heaney and Colm Tóibín. Migrations and classical antiquity have played a key interconnected role for successive centuries in the experiences of the Irish diaspora, in the articulations of those experiences, as well as in the influences of Irish classicism abroad. Throughout subsequent centuries ancient Greece and Rome were repeatedly evoked in literature, art, and historiographies associated with migrations as vehicles for the expression of varied political and cultural positions. The chapters in this collection explore how the early Irish peregrini left their mark on continental scholarship; how the model of ancient Rome was coopted for political purposes; the ways in which Protestant writers adopted the notion of ancient Romanitas as a key to the British imperial project; and, finally, how the Catholics perceived ancient Rome as being subsumed into the universalism of the Roman Catholic Church. As such, this collection, the first of its kind, seeks to create a holistic overview of the distinctive cultural classical in Irish culture throughout the ages. What we learn is how deep articulations of migration through classical media have penetrated Ireland's diasporic culture.
