Aristophanes's satirical masterpieces, immensely popular with the Athenian public, were frequently crude, even obscene. His plays revealed to his contemporaries, and now teach us today, that when those in power act obscenely, patriotic obscenity is a fitting response. Until now English translations have failed to capture Aristophanes's poetic genius. Aaron Poochigian, the first poet-classicist to tackle these plays in a generation, offers "effortlessly readable and genuinely theatrical" (Simon Armitage) versions of four of Aristophanes's most entertaining, provocative and lyrically ingenious comedies, finally giving twenty-first-century readers a sense of the subversive pleasure audiences felt when these works were first performed on the Athenian stage.

The Steinepigramme aus dem griechischen Osten (Stone epigrams from the Greek East) contains material from Asia Minor and the Orient, and provide texts carved in stone in an edition which includes translations, critical apparatus, commentary and bibliography. In volumes 1-4, 2122 Greek and Latin texts from Asia Minor and the Orient, of the period up to the 7th century A.D., have been reproduced, translated, annotated, and illustrated (approximately 700 illustrations). The index volume contains indexes of places, poems, poem beginnings, subjects, a concordance and above all, a list of personal names (pages 202 - 309) - Inscriptions are the best source of names (approximately 8000 occurring in our epigrams). Volume 5 also contains Addenda et Corrigenda (pages 17-49) with 29 new epigrams and an index of all additions and corrections (pages 1-16) with short additions.

Sophocles Oedipus Tyrannus is one of the best-known and most influential ancient tragedies. As the plot develops, Oedipus, King of Thebes, comes to the realization that he has unknowingly murdered his father and married his mother, and thereupon blinds himself. The drama is presented in this edition as a critically revised Greek text with a new German translation, and includes a comprehensive introduction and continuous commentary, for which no knowledge of Ancient Greek is assumed. Additional information is provided for readers who are conversant with Greek."

Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides' "Medea", "The Children of Heracles", "Andromache", and "Iphigenia among the Taurians", fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles' satyr-drama "The Trackers". New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

El tema de la libertad ha sido uno de los mas debatidos en la cultura cubana, sin embargo, hasta el momento no se ha estudiado como discurso, como instrumento impreciso y vulnerable a inconsistencias. Dentro y fuera de Cuba se prefiere hablar de libertad en relacion a factores externos - religion, politica, derechos civiles. Esto explica por que tantos de los que abordan este tema de las letras cubanas se han mantenido ajenos a las contradicciones propias del mismo. Libertad en cadenas explora los origenes y trayectoria de las ideas de la libertad que mayor impacto han tenido en la cultura cubana a fin de llamar la atencion sobre las aporias inherentes a una serie de discursos - mitico-religiosos, teologicos, filosoficos, politicos, filmicos, literarios - desde principios del siglo diecinueve hasta hoy. Al igual que en el resto de America Latina, donde figuras como Borges o Paz han confrontado de manera directa y auto-consciente estas dificultades propias de los discursos sobre libertad, en Cuba los que mejor han sabido explorar este asunto han sido escritores y cineastas. Esta es la razon por la que, sin descuidar las contribuciones de un pensador como Jorge Manach o las del politico Fidel Castro, este estudio dedica especial atencion al analisis de discursos literarios y filmicos como los Jose Marti, Virgilio Pinera, Alejo Carpentier, Tomas Gutierrez Alea, Jose Lezama Lima, Leonardo Padura Fuentes, Nelson Simon, Zoe Valdes y Jose Antonio Ponte, entre otros. Algo que distingue los discursos cubanos de la libertad es el hecho de que, conscientemente o no de ello, todos fluctuan entre el mito y la ironia; fluctuacion esta cuyos registros mas notables incluyen la trascendencia y sus demandas de sacrificio, el existencialismo, el choteo y, en fechas mas recientes, una distancia critica que ni abraza ni rechaza del todo, sino que observa con una actitud benignamente cansada el montaje ideologico-discursivo de las ideas sobre la libertad.

Im Jahre 2000 erschien die grundlegende Bibliographie zu den Sermones ad populum Augustins. Inzwischen wurden mehr als 450 weitere Titel dazu publiziert, die hier erganzend prasentiert werden als Arbeitsinstrument der immer mehr aufbluhenden Forschung zu Augustinus als Prediger. Die Einleitung stellt den neuesten Forschungsstand vor sowie eine umfassende Liste des gegenwartig anerkannten Bestandes an authentischen Predigten. Die ausfuhrlichen Indices bieten vor allem eine detaillierte Aufschlusselung aller Publikationen (Editionen - UEbersetzungen - Studien) fur jede einzelne der 567 Predigten.

El ya establecido vinculo de los primeros relatos de Jorge Luis Borges publicados en Historia universal de la infamia (1935) con las contribuciones que hizo anteriormente a la Revista multicolor de los sabados (1933-1934), suplemento literario del diario Critica, sigue siendo de gran interes para todo estudioso del escritor argentino. Con el fin de satisfacer a un diverso publico lector, tan insaciable de noticias como gustoso de la exageracion, los editores, ensayistas, traductores y resenadores contribuyentes a Revista multicolor ejercieron una abierta complicidad en cuanto a la practica infame de la escritura. Dentro de este contexto literario, la lectura de los primeros relatos borgeanos revela dependencias intertextuales y juegos narrativos que mas tarde definirian al Borges narrador del cuento fantastico. Este volumen sera de gran utilidad para todos aquellos interesados en la unicidad critica y narrativa de Borges.

Aromas de leyenda de Valle-Inclan sigue la tradicion de las Eglogas de Virgilio para ofrecer un libro bucolico al que se adaptan las leyendas y el paisaje de la tierra natal. El estilo y los ecos modernistas tamizan la influencia clasica y contribuyen al realce de la expresion subjetiva. Con estos presupuestos se analizan los poemas individuales y la construccion unitaria y secuencial del conjunto. Finalmente se reproducen los poemas y se realiza un analisis textual que considera las ediciones de 1907, 1913, 1920 y 1930 para clasificar las variantes y describir el proceso de la version definitiva.

The Saturnalia, Macrobius's encyclopedic celebration of Roman culture written in the early fifth century CE, has been prized since the Renaissance as a treasure trove of otherwise unattested lore. Cast in the form of a dialogue, the Saturnalia treats subjects as diverse as the divinity of the Sun and the quirks of human digestion while showcasing Virgil as the master of all human knowledge from diction and rhetoric to philosophy and religion. The new Latin text is based on a refined understanding of the medieval tradition and improves on Willis's standard edition in nearly 300 places. The accompanying translation-only the second in English and the only one now in print-offers a clear and sprightly rendition of Macrobius's ornate Latin and is supplemented by ample annotation. A full introduction places the work in its cultural context and analyzes its construction, while indexes of names, subjects, and ancient works cited in both text and notes make the work more readily accessible than ever before.

Thema des Bandes ist die Kontinuitat antiker Traditionen in der europaischen Literatur des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der produktiven Aufnahme und Weiterentwicklung mythologischer Stoffe in verschiedenen nationalsprachlichen Literaturen Europas, ein weiterer auf der ideengeschichtlichen und literarischen Tradition, insbesondere auf Fragen der Poetologie und AEsthetik sowie der Aufnahme von Gattungsmustern. Dabei wird nachgezeichnet, in welchen Formen die Antike auf die Literatur des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit einwirkte. Die leitende Frage gilt der Konstitution, Vergewisserung oder auch Neubestimmung der eigenen Identitat in der bewussten und produktiven Auseinandersetzung mit dem antiken Erbe.
