    SENSING GREEK DRAMA
    ZACHARY CASE / MARCUS ELLIS / ANTONIA MARIE REINKE

It works within and beyond a number of recent developments in the scholarship of Classics and related fields. The individual chapters engage with the senses in drama in manifold ways: through various theoretical frameworks borrowed from kindred fields in the humanities and sciences – p...

    STEELY-EYED ATHENA
    DAVID NEAL GREENWOOD
    This monograph uses the life and work of groundbreaking female classicist Wilmer Cave Wright to examine several questions about the rise of women in that discipline. First, what went into the creation of a classics scholar under circumstances that would seem to preclude that? Second, why was it arguably Wright’s time in Chicago that was her formative experience and period? Thir...

    POEMS WITHOUT POETS
    BORIS KAYACHEV
    The canon of classical Greek and Latin poetry is built around big names, with Homer and Virgil at the center, but many ancient poems survive without a firm ascription to a known author. This negative category, anonymity, ties together texts as different as, for instance, the orally derived Homeric Hymns and the learned interpolation that is the Helen episode in Aeneid 2, but th...

    PAIDEIA ROMANA
    INGO GILDENHARD
    Paideia Romana: Cicero's Tusculan Disputations takes a new look at an unloved text of the western canon to reveal it as a punchy and profoundly original work, arguably Cicero's most ingenious literary response to the tyranny of Caesar. The book shows how the Tusculans' much lambasted literary design, critically isolated prefaces, and overlooked didactic plot start to cohere onc...

    ENNIUS PERENNIS
    WILLIAM FITZGERALD / EMILY GOWERS
    Ennius Perennis: the Annals and Beyond is a collection of eight essays by an international group of scholars on different aspects of the poetry and legacy of Quintus Ennius (239-169 BC). Ennius' epic poem the Annals and his many other works, including tragedies, satires and epigrams, survive only in mystifying fragments, but his influence on Latin poetry was enormous. He is now...

    LANDS AND PEOPLES IN ROMAN POETRY
    RICHARD F. THOMAS
    Fixed in diction and form, the tradition of ethnographical prose extends from fifth-century Greece through all of Latin literature. Issues such as situation, climate and fertility have a direct effect on the social and ethical status of a land's inhabitants, and it is this uniformity of purpose that motivates the strictly formulaic nature of ethnographical texts. In this volume...

    OVID'S METAMORPHOSES AND THE TRADITIONS OF AUGUSTAN POETRY
    PETER E. KNOX
    Having established his reputation as an elegist, Ovid turned to the composition of hexameter narrative. Although the Metamorphoses has often been treated as an appendix to the history of Augustan poetry, the principal lines of stylistic and thematic development continue in Ovid's work. Drawing upon the structure and content of Vergil's Sixth Eclogue, the Metamorphoses is an int...

    This is the first extended study in English of Theophrastus' Characters, one of the briefest but also most influential works to survive from classical antiquity. Since the seventeenth century, the Characters has served as a model and an inspiration for authors as diverse as La Bruyère, Thackeray, George Eliot and Elias Canetti. This study aims to locate Theophrastus and his Cha...

    JEWS AND GODFEARERS AT APHRODISIAS
    J. REYNOLDS / R. F. TANNENBAUM
    This book presents a recently discovered inscription from Aphrodisias in western Turkey, probably of the third century AD, which throws unusual light on the history of the Jewish diaspora, on the background to early Christianity, and on the society of a Greco-Roman city below the level of its elite, who normally dominate the evidence. The inscription records a charitable donati...

    NON-SLAVE LABOUR IN THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD
    In Greco-Roman society the typical labourer was a peasant, not a slave. Yet, while specialized studies of ancient slavery abound, the subject of free labour, its incidence, status and economic significance, has received little attention. This volume of essays provides a summary of the available evidence for non-slave labour in antiquity and a bibliographical guide, but in addit...

    JOHN CAIUS AND THE MANUSCRIPTS OF GALEN
    VIVIAN NUTTON
    John Caius (1510-75) enjoyed a European reputation as a Galenist physician. This study, based on his marginalia preserved in Eton and Cambridge, describes Caius' immense efforts to see and collate medical manuscripts in Italy and England over almost two decades. His reports are important for a modern editor of Galen, since many of these 'codices' are, apparently, now lost, and ...

    TOWARDS A TEXT OF 'ANTHOLOGIA LATINA'
    D. R. SHACKLETON BAILEY
    Alexander Riese's 'Anthologia Latina' (Teubner, 1894) is full of false readings due partly to corruption in the manuscripts and partly to injudicious conjectures by Riese and his predecessors. D. R. Shackleton Bailey's notes, published in 1979 ahead of his Teubner edition (1982), are both emendatory and explanatory. They concern over 160 poems, many of which become intelligible...

    THE IDEOLOGY OF THE ATHENIAN METIC

    An essential feature of the classical Greek city-state was the presence of a large body of 'metics', more or less permanent immigrants, most of them from other Greek cities, who played a large part in the economic, social and political life of the community but were excluded from citizenship in all but the most exceptional cases. Despite the importance of the subject, there has...

    Trade in antiquity - its scale, status, pattern and context - is the subject of lively debate among historians. But no analysis has made a special investigation of trade in essential food stuffs. Famine and food crisis are also neglected subjects. This collection of essays is structured around the two focal points of trade and famine. A theme of the volume is that a combination...

    Karl Marx observed that ‘just when people seem engaged in revolutionizing themselves... they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service’. While the Greek east under Roman rule was not revolutionary, perhaps, in the sense that Marx had in mind, it was engaged in creating something that had not previously existed, in part just through the millennia-long involve...
