The Layers of the Text
This volume collects the most recent essays of Richard Hunter, one of the world's leading experts in the field of Greek and Latin literature. The essays range across all periods of ancient literature from Homer to late antiquity, with a particular focus not just on the texts in their original contexts, but also on how they were interpreted and exploited for both literary and more broadly cultural purposes later in antiquity. Taken together, the e…

It covers a wide range of important subjects, including neoanalysis and oral poetry, the Doloneia, the Homeric scholia, the theoretical premises of Aristarchean scholarship, and Homer in Sappho, Pindar, Comedy, Plato, and …
Apollonius Rhodius as a Homeric Scholar
The rise of Homeric scholarship as an academic discipline coincides with the heyday of Hellenistic poetry. However, apart from holding promise of insights into Apollonius&s; poetic technique, an inquiry into the scholarly aspects of the Argonautica opens up also the possibility of approaching two central issues of ancient Homeric scholarship. First, one can only shed some light on the pre-Aristarchean period of the ancient Homeric exegesis by ind…
Device and Composition in the Greek Epic Cycle by Benjamin Sammons
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS Device and Composition in the Greek Epic Cycle. By Benjamin Sammons. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press. 2017. Pp. vii, 263. One hundred and ten years ago T. W. Allen observed that “enough and too much has been written about the Epic Cycle. Upon scanty quotations and a jejune epitome a tedious literature has been built.”1 His verdict has, however, not intimidated subsequent scholars. Indeed, during the last t…

Wisdom and Folly in Euripides
A major, defining polarity in Euripidean drama, wisdom and folly, has never so far been the subject of a book-length study. The volume aims at filling this gap. Virtually all Euripidean characters, from gods to slaves, are subject to some aspect of folly and claim at least some measure of wisdom. The playwright’s sophisticated handling of the tradition and the pervasive ambiguity in his work add extra layers of complexity. Wisdom and folly become…
Dialect, Diction, and Style in Greek Literary and Inscribed Epigram
Language and style of epigram is a topic scarcely discussed in the related bibliography. This edition aspires to fill the gap by offering an in-depth study of dialect, diction, and style in Greek literary and inscribed epigram in a collection of twenty-one contributions authored by international scholars. The authors explore the epigrammatic Kunstsprache and matters of dialectical variation, the interchange between poetic and colloquial vocabular…
Aethiopis
From the point of view of its plot, the Aethiopis – a Cyclic epic that must have comprised five books and that is ascribed, along with the Iliou persis and the Titanomachy , to Arctinus of Miletus – follows directly on the Iliad and narrates the events until the death of Achilles and the funeral games held in his honour. The structure and content of this epic can be roughly reconstructed by the plot as outlined by Proclus ( Aeth . arg. lines 172–…
Narrative techniques in the Epic Cycle
To deal with the narrative technique of works only preserved in fragments, as in the case of the poems of the Epic Cycle, is a daring task. Yet, as regards, in particular, the epics of the Trojan Cycle, i.e. the Cypria , the Aethiopis , the Ilias parva , the Iliou persis , the Nostoi and the Telegony , it is worth undertaking this task only because we are relatively well informed about the structure of these poems by Proclus' summary and their pr…

The Greek Epic Cycle and its Ancient Reception
The poems of the Epic Cycle are assumed to be the reworking of myths and narratives which had their roots in an oral tradition predating that of many of the myths and narratives which took their present form in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The remains of these texts allow us to investigate diachronic aspects of epic diction as well as the extent of variation within it on the part of individual authors - two of the most important questions in modern…
Handbuch der griechischen Literatur der Antike Bd. 2
kurzem – Poseidipps Epigramme. Außerdem hat in der Forschung eine neue, methodisch und theoretisch begründete Betrachtung weiter Bereiche der Literatur nach 400 v. Chr. stattgefunden. Dies betrifft vor allem die hellenistische Dichtung und die Komödie nach Aristophanes, die auf der Basis neuer Ausgaben nun erst in ihrer Stellung in der Geschichte der griechischen Literatur angemessen gewürdigt werden können. Die Neubewertung kommt insbesondere de…
Hellenistic Studies at a Crossroads
This volume is a collection of fifteen papers written by a team of international experts in the field of Hellenistic literature. In an attempt to reassess methods such as the detection of intertextual allusions or the general notion of neoteric poetics, the authors combine current critical trends (narratology, genre-theory, aesthetics, cultural studies) with a close reading of Hellenistic texts. Contributions address a wealth of topics in a varie…
Homeric Contexts
This volume aims at offering a critical reassessment of the progress made in Homeric research in recent years,focussing onits two main trends,Neonalysis and Oral Theory. Interpreting Homer in the 21st century asks for a holistic approach that allows us to reconsider some of our methodological tools and preconceptions concerning what we call Homeric poetry. The neoanalytical and oral 'booms', which have to a large extent influenced the way we see …

Thucydides’ Narrative
In Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War , two important features of the historian's narrative art point to the double legacy of the Homeric and Herodotus' Histories in this work. The difference between the narrative mode of Herodotus and Thucydides and that of previous quasi-historical narratives also indicates that Thucydides consciously adopted the Homeric (and Herodotean) narrative mode. This chapter concentrates on a number of aspects…
