Archaic and Classical Greek Epigram (Hardcover): Manuel Baumbach, Andrej Petrovic, Ivana Petrovic Archaic and Classical Greek Epigram (Hardcover)
Manuel Baumbach, Andrej Petrovic, Ivana Petrovic
R3,549 Discovery Miles 35 490 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

With contributions written by leading experts in the field, this volume explores the dialogue between Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams and their readers. The authors examine questions surrounding the identity of the speakers and the addressees. They also discuss the spatial, religious, historical and political contexts of epigram, as well as aspects of intertextuality, poetic variation and the creation of epigrammatic sub-genres. Collectively the volume demonstrates that the dominant view of epigram as a genre that became literary and artistic only in the Hellenistic period has to be revised. Archaic and Classical Greek epigrams did not simply serve the objects they describe but also demonstrate a high degree of aesthetic and literary achievement. This volume breaks new ground in the study of the genre and is important for scholars of classics, archaeology, epigraphy and papyrology.

Quintus Smyrnaeus: Transforming Homer in Second Sophistic Epic (Hardcover, Reprint 2012): Manuel Baumbach, Silvio Bar Quintus Smyrnaeus: Transforming Homer in Second Sophistic Epic (Hardcover, Reprint 2012)
Manuel Baumbach, Silvio Bar; Contributions by Nicola Dummler
R4,258 Discovery Miles 42 580 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The a oeEvents after Homera, described by Quintus Smyrnaeus in the third century AD in his Greek epic Posthomerica, are an attempt to bridge the gap between the Iliad and the Odyssey, and to combine the various scattered reports of the battle for Troy into a single tale: the fate of Achilles, Ajax, Paris and the Amazon Penthesileia, the intervention of Neoptolemos and the story from the Trojan horse to the destruction of the city. The volume presented here summarizes the results of the first international conference on Quintus Smyrnaeus.

Manuel Baumbach, Nicola Dummler
R4,339 Discovery Miles 43 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Despite their rich tradition, the Carmina Anacreontea transmitted in the Palatine Anthology have received little scholarly attention. This neglect is linked to questions concerning their authenticity. Long read as poems by the ancient lyricist Anacreon, they are now regarded instead as imitations of Anacreontic lyricism. This volume presents the latest findings on the language, poetology, tradition, and reception of this lyrical collection.

Die kleinen Schriften von Herwig Görgemanns, die in diesem Band anlĂ€sslich des 80. Geburtstages des Heidelberger GrĂ€zisten versammelt sind, vereinen, was andernorts in disziplinĂ€rer Zersplitterung und im Auseinanderdriften von Spezialistentum und Vermittlungskompetenz auseinanderfĂ€llt: Detailstudien zur antiken Literatur, Geistesgeschichte und Naturwissenschaft verbinden sich im Werk von Herwig Görgemanns mit einer souverĂ€nen Darstellung der großen philosophischen und religiös-theologischen ZusammenhĂ€nge. Die hier versammelten BeitrĂ€ge reichen von der Frage nach "Wahrheit und Fiktion in Platons Atlantis-ErzĂ€hlung" ĂŒber das Problem der "Sonnenfinsternisse in der antiken Astronomie" bis hin zu Darstellungen der Geschichte der Ethik, der "Jenseitsfurcht und Jenseitshoffnung bei den Griechen" und von "Kosmologie, Kosmogonie und Schöpfung". Sie enthalten Interpretationen von Platon und dem homerischen Hermeshymnus bis hin zu Cicero, Plutarch und Mark Aurel, dem 4. MakkabĂ€erbuch und Origenes.

R770 Discovery Miles 7 700 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Der zweite Band der "Griechischen Stilubungen" umfasst die Verbalsyntax und die Syntax der Nebensatze. Wie im ersten Teil werden die wesentlichen grammatischen Phanomene in deutschen Ubungssatzen mit griechischer Musterubersetzung vorgestellt, wobei zahlreiche Ubersetzungsvarianten helfen, die Flexibilitat und Nuancierungsfahigkeit des Griechischen bewusst zu machen. In den Anmerkungen werden Hinweise zur Grammatik, vor allem aber zur Synonymik gegeben (Wortfelder), zu einigen grammatischen Problemen sind schematisierte Uberblicke beigefugt (Aspektsystem, Satzverknupfungen). Starker als im ersten Band werden Aspekte der Stilistik berucksichtigt; ein Uberblick uber Tropen und Figuren ist als Anhang beigegeben. Jeder Lektion ist eine Vokabelliste vorangestellt, die das Nachschlagen in einem Lexikon erspart und beim Erlernen und Vertiefen des Grundwortschatzes hilft. Das Ziel des Buches ist es, dem Benutzer in Schule und Universitat durch Ubungen im deutsch-griechischen Ubersetzen ein vertieftes Verstandnis fur Struktur und Ausdrucksmoglichkeiten des Altgriechischen zu vermitteln.
