Gynaikon Katalogos und Megalai Ehoiai: Ein Kommentar zu den Fragmenten zweier hesiodeischer Epen (review)
Martina Hirschberger. Gynaikön Katalogos und Megalai Ëhoiai: Ein Kommentar zu den Fragmenten zweier hesiodeischer Epen. Beiträge zur Altertumskunde, 198. Munich: K. G. Saur, 2004. Pp. 511. €110.00. ISBN 3-598-77810-4
The Hesiodic Catalogue of Women: Constructions and Reconstructions
The Catalogue of Women, ascribed to Hesiod, one of the greatest figures of early hexameter poetry, maps the Greek world, its evolution and its heroic myths through the mortal women who bore children to the gods. In this collection a team of international scholars offers an attempt to explore the poem's meaning, significance and reception. Individual chapters examine the organization and structure of the poem, its social and political context, its…
Theocritus and the Archaeology of Greek Poetry
The poems of Theocritus are our best witness to a brilliant poetic culture that flourished in the first half of the third century BC. This book considers the context from which these poems grew and, in particular, the manner in which they engage with and recreate the poetic forms of the Greek archaic age. The focus is not on the familiar bucolic poems of Theocritus, but on the hymns, mimes and erotic poems of the second half of the corpus. Recent…
E. Lefèvre, E. Stärk, G. Vogt-Spira: Plautus Barbarus. Sechs Kapitel zur Originalität des Plautus. (ScriptOralia 25). Tübingen: Gunter Narr Verlag 1991, 208 S., DM 68
What has happened to scholarship on Plautus? Why is there so little of it? These questions must lurk behind any reaction - particularly from someone working in Great Britain or the United States - to Plautus Barbarus, a study of six plays (Asinaria, Curculio, Mostellaria, Persa, Stichus, Truculentus) in which L-S-V, taking two plays each, emphasise the contribution of popular, mimic theatre to Plautine drama. In these six plays, so the argument g…
The Argonautica of Apollonius
In recent years the subtlety and complexity of Apollonius' Argonautica have been better appreciated, but in Dr Hunter's view the purposes and aesthetic of the epic are still not readily understood and much basic analysis remains to be done. The present book seeks to offer some of that analysis and to place the Argonautica within its social and intellectual context. A series of studies deal with notions of heroism; with eros and the suffering of M…
Appollonius of Rhodes: Argonautica Book III
A Study of Daphnis and Chloe
The New Comedy of Greece and Rome
Short on Heroics’: Jason in the Argonautica
‘Jason...chosen leader because his superior declines the honour, subordinate to his comrades, except once, in every trial of strength, skill, or courage, a great warrior only with the help of magical charms, jealous of honour but incapable of asserting it, passive in the face of crisis, timid and confused before trouble, tearful at insult, easily despondent, gracefully treacherous in his dealings with the love-sick Medea but cowering before her l…
The New Comedy of Greece and Rome
In writing this book on the plays of New Comedy the author's aim is to fill a gap in the existing literature by concentrating on what one might look for in watching and reading these plays and why such an exercise might be pleasurable. The social comedy of Menander, Plautus and Terence provided a style of comic drama which was to prove the root of all subsequent western comedy. Dr Hunter gives a literary account of this drama, placing it in its a…
Eubulus: The Fragments
A Study of Daphnis and Chloe
This 1983 book provides a serious modern literary treatment of perhaps the best known of all surviving works of ancient Greek fiction. Dr Hunter demonstrates the sophistication of this pastoral romance, a sophistication which he maintains has often been assumed but never properly discussed. Evidence for the identity of the author and the date of composition are also considered
The ‘Aulularia’ of Plautus and its Greek original
The Aulularia has always been one of the most popular and most studied of Plautus' plays, both because of its intrinsic interest and quality and also because of its later influence in the European dramatic tradition. In the large amount of scholarly work which has been devoted to this play the identity of the author of Plautus' Greek model and the alterations which Plautus may have made in this model have been much discussed. Research on these qu…
