Lowering the Curtain
The Representation of Slavery in the Greek Novel
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 421 and obsession with atonement and purification. Offering his life on behalf of his fellow citizens, a quintessentially Roman response to divine anger, Coroebus fits the role of the “providential outsider” much celebrated in Flavian rhetoric. The Callimachean hero also glances at the Flavian “myth” of the young Domitian offering his life and being spared by the gods during the siege of the Capitol in 69 c.e. Coroebus…

Brill's Companion to Roman Tragedy
Until the Renaissance the centrality of Roman tragedy in Western society and culture was unchallenged. Studies on Roman Republican tragedy and on Imperial Roman tragedy by the contributors have been directing the gaze of scholarship back to Roman tragedy. This volume has two goals: first, to demonstrate that Republican tragedy had a far more central role in shaping Imperial tragedy than is currently thought, and quite possibly more important than…

Seneca in Performance
The plays of Seneca the Younger, minister and philosopher under Nero, are today increasingly studied, appreciated - and performed. Here, in a collection of papers from an international cast, scholars explore both established questions, such as the playwright's subtleties of characterisation, his relation to contemporary Roman spectacle and art - and the problems arising in translating him to modern text or stage.
The Mythic Voice of Statius
This is the first thematic study of Statius' Thebaid to be published in monograph form in English in the past twenty years. It examines in detail the thematic design and intent of the Thebaid and considers the question of its contemporary relevance. The book focuses on the central theme of power - how it is exercised on the supernatural and human levels and the consequences of its pursuit and abuse in terms of the human condition. An ensuing disc…
