    "The Greek romance was for the Roman period what epic was for the Archaic period or drama for the Classical: the central literary vehicle for articulating ideas about the relationship between self and community. This book offers a fresh reading of the romance both as a distinctive narrative form (using a range of narrative theories) and as a paradigmatic expression of identity (social, sexual and cultural). At the same time it emphasises the elasticity of romance narrative and its ability to accommodate both conservative and transformative models of identity. This elasticity manifests itself partly in the variation in practice between different romancers, some of whom are traditionally Hellenocentric while others are more challenging. Ultimately, however, it is argued that it reflects a tension in all romance narrative, which characteristically balances centrifugal against centripetal dynamics. This book will interest classicists, historians of the novel and students of narrative theory"-- Introduction -- pt. 1. Returning romance -- 1. First romances: Chariton and Xenophon -- 2. Transforming romance: Achilles Tatius and Longus -- 3. Hellenism at the edge: Heliodorus -- pt. 2. Narrative and identity -- 4. Pothos -- 5. Telos -- 6. Limen -- Conclusion -- Appendix: the extant romances and the larger fragments.

    "The Odyssey's larger plot is composed of a number of distinct genres of myth, all of which are extant in various Near Eastern cultures (Mesopotamian, West Semitic, Egyptian). Unexpectedly, the Near Eastern culture with which the Odyssey has the most parallels is the Old Testament. Consideration of how much of the Odyssey focuses on non-heroic episodes - hosts receiving guests, a king disguised as a beggar, recognition scenes between long-separated family members - reaffirms the Odyssey's parallels with the Bible. In particular the book argues that the Odyssey is in a dialogic relationship with Genesis, which features the same three types of myth that comprise the majority of the Odyssey: theoxeny, romance (Joseph in Egypt), and Argonautic myth (Jacob winning Rachel from Laban). The Odyssey also offers intriguing parallels to the Book of Jonah, and Odysseus' treatment by the suitors offers close parallels to the Gospels' depiction of Christ in Jerusalem"-- Introduction; 1. Divine councils and apocalyptic myth; 2. Theoxeny: Odyssey 1, 3, 13-22, and Genesis 18-19; 3. Romance: the Odyssey and the myth of Joseph (Genesis 37, 39-47); 4. Helen and Rahab (Joshua 2), Menelaus and Jacob (Genesis 32:22-32); 5. Ogygia and creation myth, Kalypso and Ishtar; 6. Argonautic myth: Odysseus and Nausikaa/Circe, Jason and Medea, Jacob and Rachel (Odyssey 6-8, 10-12, 13.1-187, Genesis 28-33); 7. Odysseus and Jonah: sea-monsters and the fantastic voyage; 8. The combat myth: Polyphemos and Humbaba; 9. Catabasis, consultation, and the vision: Odyssey 11, 1 Samuel 28, Gilgamesh 12, Aeneid 6, and the Book of Revelation; 10. Odyssey 12 and Exodus 32: Odysseus and Moses, the people defy their leader and rebel against God; 11. The suitors and the depiction of impious men in wisdom literature; 12. Odysseus and Jesus: the King returns, unrecognized and abused in his own Kingdom; 13. Contained apocalypse: Odyssey 12, 13, 22 and 24, Exodus 32 (and Genesis 18-19); Conclusion.

    "Exploring both how Plato engaged with existing literary forms and how later literature then created 'classics' out of some of Plato's richest works, this book includes chapters on such subjects as rewritings of the Apology and re-imaginings of Socrates' defence, Plato's rich style and the criticisms it attracted and how Petronius and Apuleius threaded Plato into their richly comic texts. The scene for these case studies is set through a thorough examination of how the tradition constructed the relationship between Plato and Homer, of how Plato adapted poetic forms of imagery to his philosophical project in the Republic, to shared techniques of representation between poet and philosopher and to foreshadowings of later modes of criticism in Plato's Ion. This is a major contribution to Platonic studies, to the history of Platonic reception from the fourth century BC to the third century AD and to the literature of the Second Sophistic"-- 1. Introduction : tracing Plato -- 2. Homer and Plato -- 3. Metamorphoses of the Apology -- 4. Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the style of the Phaedrus -- 5. Plato as classic : Plutarch's Amatorius -- 6. Playing with Plato.

    "This volume collects the majority of papers given at a conference held at Yale University in 2007. That conference, also entitled Reception and the Classics, sought to define and articulate the particular role of Classics and classicists in the project of Reception Studies.1 The field of Reception Studies ranges over a vast stretch of time and material, from classical antiquity to the present day, from literature to art, music, and film; it is thus an inherently interdisciplinary field in its encompassing of a great variety of departments and disciplines, each with its own canons, practices, and shared working assumptions. This interdisciplinary practice has formed the intellectual foundation for the present collection: although Reception Studies as a field has grown in scope and energy between conference and publication, we feel that the question of where Classics stands in relation to its peer disciplines remains alive and crucial"-- Introduction -- Part I, Reception between transmission and philology: "Arouse the dead": Mai, Leopardi, and Cicero's commonwealth in Restoration Italy / James Zetzel -- Honor culture, praise, and Servius' Aeneid / Robert Kaster -- 4.

    "Scholars have often focused on understanding Aristotle's poetic theory, and particularly the concept of catharsis in the Poetics, as a response to Plato's critique of pity in the Republic. However, this book shows that, while Greek thinkers all acknowledge pity and some form of fear as responses to tragedy, each assumes a different purpose for the two emotions and mode of presentation and, to a degree, understanding of them.

    "This book examines the figure of the returning warrior as depicted in the myths of several ancient and medieval Indo-European cultures. In these cultures, the returning warrior was often portrayed as a figure rendered dysfunctionally destructive or isolationist by the horrors of combat. This mythic portrayal of the returned warrior is consistent with modern studies of similar behavior among soldiers returning from war. Roger Woodard, Ŵs research identifies a common origin of these myths in the ancestral proto-Indo-European culture, in which rites were enacted to enable warriors to reintegrate themselves as functional members of society. He also compares the Italic, Indo-Iranian, and Celtic mythic traditions surrounding the warrior, paying particular attention to Roman myth and ritual, notably to the etiologies and rites of the July festivals of the Poplifugia and Nonae Caprotinae, and to the October rites of the Sororium Tigillum"-- "This book examines the figure of the returning warrior as depicted in the myths of several ancient and medieval Indo-European cultures"-- 1.

    For the first time, the Alexandrine fragments on the Iliad have been systematically compiled and newly edited with a commentary, and unlike all earlier editions, special attention has been given to their transmitted form. Van Thiel's innovative view of the ancient Ekdoseis as working copies and his systematic consideration of the D-scholia make this edition an indispensable tool for further studies on the transmission of the Iliad

    "Jonathan L. Ready offers the first comprehensive examination of Homer's similes in the Iliad as arenas of heroic competition. This study concentrates primarily on similes spoken by Homeric characters. The first to offer a sustained exploration of such similes, Ready shows how characters are made to contest through and over simile not only with one another but also with the narrator. Ready investigates the narrator's similes as well. He demonstrates that Homer amplifies the feat of a successful warrior by providing a competitive orientation to sequences of similes used to describe battle. He also offers a new interpretation of Homer's extended similes as a means for the poet to imagine his characters as competitors for his attention. Throughout this study, Ready makes innovative use of approaches from both Homeric studies and narratology that have not yet been applied to the analysis of Homer's similes"-- The simile and the Homeric comparative spectrum -- Similes and likenesses in the character-text -- A preparation for reading sequences of similes -- Sequences of similes in the character-text -- Narrator, character, and simile -- Similes in the narrator-text -- Conclusion: The Odyssey compared.

    "Prudentius is one of the major Latin poets of antiquity. A Christian living and writing in Spain in the late fourth and early fifth centuries, he was thoroughly imbued with the whole tradition of Latin poetry. The Hamartigenia is a didactic poem exploring the origins of evil and how it operates in the world. It is full of echoes and reworkings of earlier poems by Lucretius, Virgil and others, but is also a serious contribution to this important theological issue which was much discussed in Church circles of the day. This is a major new study of the Hamartigenia in the context of Prudentius' work as a whole and is striking for being as seriously interested in its theological as in its literary contribution"-- Introduction: 'Prudentius counts' -- The world projects human responsibility -- The vocation of a responsible reader: the Biblical strategy -- The vocation of the responsible reader: the genre strategy -- Conclusion -- Appendix A.A note on the title of the Hamartigenia -- Appendix B.A brief note on the date and circulation of the Vulgate Genesis.

    "This book traces the image of the pregnant male in Greek literature as it evolves over the course of the classical period. The image as deployed in myth and in metaphor originates as a representation of paternity and, by extension, authorship of ideas, works of art, legislation, and the like. Only later, with its reception in philosophy in the early fourth century, does it also become a way to figure and negotiate the boundary between the sexes. The book considers a number of important moments in the evolution of the image: the masculinist embryological theory of Anaxagoras of Clazomenae and other fifth century pre-Socratics; literary representations of the birth of Dionysus; the origin and functions of pregnancy as a metaphor in tragedy, comedy, and works of some Sophists; and finally the redeployment of some of these myths and metaphors in Aristophanes, W?? Assemblywomen and in Plato's Symposium and Theaetetus"-- The new father of Anaxagoras: the one-seed theory of reproduction and its reception in Athenian tragedy -- The thigh birth of Dionysus: exploring legitimacy in the classical city-state -- From myth to metaphor: intellectual and poetic generation in the age of the sophists -- Blepyrus's turd-child and the birth of Athena -- The pregnant philosopher: masculine and feminine procreative styles in Plato's Symposium -- Reading Plato's midwife: Socrates and intellectual paternity in the Theaetetus.

    "This book further develops Professor Seaford's innovative work on the study of ritual and money in the developing Greek polis. It employs the concept of the chronotope, which refers to the phenomenon whereby the spatial and temporal frameworks explicit or implicit in a text have the same structure and uncovers various such chronotopes in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and in particular the tragedies of Aeschylus. Mikhail Bakhtin's pioneering use of the chronotope was in literary analysis. This study by contrast derives the variety of chronotopes manifest in Greek texts from the variety of socially integrative practices in the developing polis - notably reciprocity, collective ritual, and monetised exchange. In particular, the tragedies of Aeschylus embody the reassuring absorption of the new and threatening monetised chronotope into the traditional chronotope that arises from collective ritual with its aetiological myth"-- Cover; COSMOLOGY AND THE POLIS; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Map; Preface; Abbreviations; Introduction; A CHRONOTOPES AND COSMOLOGY; B CHRONOTOPES AND HISTORY; C PREVIOUS TREATMENTS; D SUMMARY; PART I: The social construction of space, time and cosmology; CHAPTER 1: Homer: The reciprocal chronotope; 1A HOMERIC SPACE; 1B HOMERIC TIME; 1C SOCIAL INTEGRATION; CHAPTER 2: Demeter Hymn: The aetiological chronotope; 2A THE SPACE OF RITUAL; 2B THE EMERGENCE OF THE POLIS; 2C SHARED SPACE; 2D THE OUTSIDER CREATES THE COMMUNITY; 2E THE AETIOLOGICAL CHRONOTOPE; 2F THE IAKCHOS PROCESSION.

    "Scholarly reception has bequeathed two Callimachuses: the Roman version is a poet of elegant non-heroic poetry (usually erotic elegy), represented by a handful of intertexts with a recurring set of images - slender Muse, instructing divinity, small voice, pure waters; the Greek version emphasizes a learned scholar who includes literary criticism within his poetry, an encomiast of the Ptolemies, a poet of the book whose narratives are often understood as metapoetic. This study does not dismiss these Callimachuses, but situates them within a series of interlocking historical and intellectual contexts in order better to understand how they arose. In this narrative of his poetics and poetic reception four main sources of creative opportunism are identified: Callimachus' reactions to philosophers and literary critics as arbiters of poetic authority, the potential of the text as a venue for performance, awareness of Alexandria as a new place, and finally, his attraction for Roman poets"-- CYRENETHE CYRENAICA; ALEXANDRIA; THE ARGIVE ANCESTORS; THE "CAUSES" OF ALEXANDRIA; Narrative strategies; The mythological frame: Minos; The mythological frame: the Argonauts; The mythological frame: Heracles; The mythological frame: the Danaids; EGYPT; THE HEROES OF TROY AND THEIR NOSTOI; THE PTOLEMIES; ATTICA VIEWED FROM ALEXANDRIA; THE NEW CENTER; CHAPTER 4: In my end is my beginning; EARLY "TRANSLATION"; THE DOCTUS POETA; Batti veteris sacrum sepulcrum; Carmina uti possem mittere battiadae; Arida modo pumice expolitum; Haec expressa tibi carmina Battiadae; Translating Callimachus' Lock.

    "Oaths were ubiquitous rituals in ancient Athenian legal, commercial, civic and international spheres. Their importance is reflected by the fact that much of surviving Greek drama features a formal oath sworn before the audience. This is the first comprehensive study of that phenomenon. The book explores how the oath can mark or structure a dramatic plot, at times compelling characters like Euripides' Hippolytus to act contrary to their best interests. It demonstrates how dramatic oaths resonate with oath rituals familiar to the Athenian audiences. Aristophanes' Lysistrata and her accomplices, for example, swear an oath that blends protocols of international treaties with priestesses' vows of sexual abstinence. By employing the principles of Speech Act theory, this book examines how the performative power of the dramatic oath can mirror the status quo, but also disturb categories of gender, social status and civic identity in ways that redistribute and confound social authority"-- Cover; PERFORMING OATHS IN CLASSICAL GREEK DRAMA; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Acknowledgments; A note on abbreviations; Introduction; WHAT IS AN OATH?; 1) The preface (an invitation or offer to swear an oath); 2) The invocation; 3) A verb or expression of swearing; 4) The body of the oath; 5) The curse; 6) Gestures, sacrifices and sanctifying features; OATHS AND DRAMATIC PLOTS; HOMER; HOMERIC HYMNS AND ARCHAIC POETRY; HERODOTUS; CHAPTER 1 From curses to blessings: horkos in the Oresteia; OATHS OF REVENGE; HORKOS AND GENDER; QUESTIONING HORKOS; THE OATH IN ATHENS.

    "This comprehensive study of the Odyssey sees in meat and meat consumption a centre of gravitation for the interpretation of the poem. It aims to place the cultural practices represented in the poem against the background of the (agricultural) lived reality of the poem's audiences in the archaic age, and to align the themes of the adventures in Odysseus' wanderings with the events that transpire at Ithaca in the hero's absence. The criminal meat consumption of the suitors of Penelope in the civilised space of Ithaca is shown to resonate with the adventures of Odysseus and his companions in the pre-cultural worlds they are forced to visit. The book draws on folklore studies, the anthropology of hunting cultures, the comparative study of oral traditions, and the agricultural history of archaic and classical Greece.

    "This book sets out to disentangle the complex chronology of early Greek epic poetry, which includes Homer, Hesiod, hymns and catalogues. The preserved corpus of these texts is characterised by a rather uniform language and many recurring themes, thus making the establishment of chronological priorities a difficult task. The editors have brought together scholars working on these texts from both a linguistic and a literary perspective to address the problem. Some contributions offer statistical analysis of the linguistic material or linguistic analysis of subgenres within epic, others use a neoanalytical approach to the history of epic themes or otherwise seek to track the development and interrelationship of epic contents. All the contributors focus on the implications of their study for the dating of early epic poems relative to each other. Thus the book offers an overview of the current state of discussion"-- 1.Relative chronology and the literary history of the early Greek epos /Richard Janko --2.Relative chronology and an 'Aeolic phase' of epic /Brandrly Jones --3.The other view: focus on linguistic innovations in the Homeric epics /Rudolf Wachter --4.Late features in the speeches of the Iliad /Margalit Finkelberg --5.Tmesis in the epic tradition /Dag T.T.

    "Previous scholarship on classical pseudepigrapha has generally aimed at proving issues of attribution and dating of individual works, with little or no attention paid to the texts as literary artefacts. Instead, this book looks at Latin fakes as sophisticated products of a literary culture in which collaborative practices of supplementation, recasting and role-play were the absolute cornerstones of rhetorical education and literary practice. Texts such as the Catalepton, the Consolatio ad Liviam and the Panegyricus Messallae thus illuminate the strategies whereby Imperial audiences received and interrogated canonical texts and are here explored as key moments in the Imperial reception of Augustan authors such as Virgil, Ovid and Tibullus. The study of the rhetoric of these creative supplements irreverently mingling truth and fiction reveals much not only about the neighbouring concepts of fiction, authenticity and reality, but also about the tacit assumptions by which the latter are employed in literary criticism"-- Introduction -- 1. Literary fakes and their ancient reception -- 2. Constructing the young Virgil: the Catalepton as pseudepigraphic literature -- 3. Poets and patrons: Catalepton 9, the Panegyricus Messallae, the Laus Pisonis and the pseudo-panegyric -- 4. Prefiguring Virgil: the Ciris -- 5.

    "Pliny's Panegyricus (AD 100) survives as a unique example of senatorial rhetoric from the early Roman Empire. It offers an eyewitness account of the last years of Domitian's principate, the reign of Nerva and Trajan's early years, and it communicates a detailed senatorial view on the behaviour expected of an emperor. It is an important document in the development of the ideals of imperial leadership, but it also contributes greatly to our understanding of imperial political culture more generally. This volume, the first ever devoted to the Panegyricus, contains expert studies of its key historical and rhetorical contexts, as well as important critical approaches to the published version of the speech and its influence in antiquity. It offers scholars of Roman history, literature and rhetoric an up-to-date overview of key approaches to the speech, and students and interested readers an authoritative introduction to this vital and under-appreciated speech"-- 1. Pliny's thanksgiving: an introduction to the Panegyricus / Paul Roche -- 2. Self-fashioning in the Panegyricus / Carlos F. Noreña -- 3. The Panegyricus and the monuments of Rome / Paul Roche -- 4. The Panegyricus and rhetorical theory / D.C. Innes -- 5. Ciceronian praise as a step towards Pliny's Panegyricus / Gesine Manuwald -- 6. Contemporary contexts / Bruce Gibson -- 7.

    "Theatre flourished in the Roman Republic, from the tragedies of Ennius and Pacuvius to the comedies of Plautus and Terence and the mimes of Laberius. Yet apart from the surviving plays of Plautus and Terence the sources are fragmentary and difficult to interpret and contextualise. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive history of all aspects of the topic, incorporating recent findings and modern approaches. It discusses the origins of Roman drama and the historical, social and institutional backgrounds of all the dramatic genres to be found during the Republic (tragedy, praetexta, comedy, togata, Atellana, mime and pantomime). Possible general characteristics are identified, and attention is paid to the nature of and developments in the various genres. The clear structure and full bibliography also ensure that the book has value as a source of reference for all upper-level students and scholars of Latin literature and ancient drama"-- Introduction: previous scholarship and the present approach -- Part I. The Cultural and Institutional Background; 1. The evolution of Roman drama; 2. Production and reception -- Part II. Dramatic Poetry: 3. Dramatic genres; 4. Dramatic poets; 5. Dramatic themes and techniques; Overview and conclusions: Republican drama.

    "Athenian comic drama was written for performance at festivals honouring the god Dionysos. Through dramatic action and open discourse, poets sought to engage their rivals and impress the audience, all in an effort to obtain victory in the competitions. This book uses that competitive performance context as an interpretive framework within which to understand the thematic interests shaping the plots and poetic quality of Aristophanes' plays in particular, and of Old Comedy in general. Studying five individual plays from the Aristophanic corpus as well as fragments of other comic poets, it reveals the competitive poetics distinctive to each. It also traces thematic connections with other poetic traditions, especially epic, lyric, and tragedy, and thereby seeks to place competitive poetics within broader trends in Greek literature"-- Introduction: proagon -- 1. From Thamyris to Aristophanes: the competitive poetics of the comic parabasis -- 2. The competitive partnership of Aristophanes and Dikaiopolis in Acharnians -- 3. Aristophanes' poetic tropaion: competitive didaskalia and contest records in Knights -- 4. Intertextual biography in the rivalry of Cratinus and Aristophanes -- 5. Aristophanes' Clouds-palinode -- 6. Dionysos and dionysia in Frogs.
