|  | The Ovidian Heroine as Author: Reading, Writing, and Community in the Heroides
Publication Date: July 30, 2009| ISBN-10: 052111781X | ISBN-13: 978-0521117814| Edition: 1 Ovid's Heroides, a catalogue of letters by women who have been deserted, has too frequently been examined as merely a lament. In a new departure, this book portrays the women of the Heroides as a community of authors. Combining close readings of the texts and their mythological backgrounds with critical methods, the book argues that the points of similarity between the different letters of the Heroides, so often derided by modern critics, represent a brilliant exploitation of intratextuality, in wh...

|  | Chapman's Homeric Hymns and Other Homerica (Bollingen)
Publication Date: April 14, 2008| Series: Bollingen (Book 41) George Chapman's translations of Homer--immortalized by Keats's sonnet-- are the most famous in the English language. Swinburne praised their "romantic and sometimes barbaric grandeur," their "freshness, strength, and inextinguishable fire." And the great critic George Saintsbury wrote, "For more than two centuries they were the resort of all who, unable to read Greek, wished to know what the Greek was. Chapman is far nearer Homer than any modern translator in any modern language."This volume presents the original text of Chapman'...
|  | The Poems of Meleager (English and Greek Edition)
Publication Date: June 30, 1975Poetica 1Meleager of Gadara (c. 140-70 B.C.) was the last and most inventive of the Hellenistic epigrammatists. He was also the editor of the `Garland', a collection of poems which is the basis of our `Greek Anthology'. No poet wrote more lyrically, with such mastery of every mode of Greek epigram - especially the love-poem. In his air of playful experiment and his rehandling of traditional material, he anticipates Catullus, the Roman lyric poet with whom he has much in common.Peter Whigham - poet and translator of Catullus - has made delightful versions of Mel...

| | The Walking Muse
Publication Date: November 17, 1992In laying the groundwork for a fresh and challenging reading of Roman satire, Kirk Freudenburg explores the literary precedents behind the situations and characters created by Horace, one of Rome's earliest and most influential satirists. Critics tend to think that his two books of Satires are but trite sermons of moral reform - which the poems superficially claim to be - and that the reformer speaking to us is the young Horace, a naive Roman imitator of the rustic, self-made Greek philosopher Bion. By examining Horace's debt to popular comedy and to the co...

Release Date: August 13, 2002| ISBN-10: 0375760423 | ISBN-13: 978-0375760426| Edition: 2002- Martial, the father of the epigram, was one of the brilliant provincial poets who made their literary mark on first-century Rome. His Epigrams can be affectionate or cruel, elegiac or playful; they target every element of Roman society, from slaves to schoolmasters to, above all, the aristocratic elite. With wit and wisdom, Martial evokes not “the grandeur that was Rome,” but rather the timeless themes of urban life and society. ...
