Mythos and catharsis in Aristotle’s Poetics
The paper argues that catharsis in Aristotle’s Poetics is a two-pronged process, which applies both to the construction of the mythos by the poet and its reception by the audience. Catharsis may plausibly be taken as the poet’s distillation of events that constitute a mythos so as to clear away anything that might undermine its coherence or disturb its unity. The sequencing of fearful and pitiable events in the plot according to probability or ne…
Women in Theocritus
The list of contemporary mortal women appearing as characters or mentioned in Theocritus’ corpus is long and inclusive. In the mythological pieces too, heroines feature prominently. The ambiguity and open-endedness of the bucolic poems, especially Idylls 11 and 6, hinge to a large extent on the inaccessible female sweethearts. The mimes allow glimpses of the sociocultural mosaic in the multiethnic empires of the Hellenistic Mediterranean. Like th…
Brill's Companion to Theocritus
Through the variety of its scholarly perspectives, Brill Companion to Theocritus offers a tool for the study of one of antiquity’s foremost poets. Offering a thorough examination of textual transmission, ancient commentaries, literary dialect, and poetic forms, the present volume considers Theocritus’ work from novel theoretical perspectives, such as gender and emotions. It expands the usual field of inquiry to include religion, and the poet’s re…
Theocritus and his native Muse
Hellenistic poets opted and were very likely expected to deal meaningfully, and perhaps competitively, with the tradition they inherited. They also needed to secure the goodwill of actual or potential patrons. Apollonius, the author of a novel heroic epic, eschews references to literary polemics and patronage. Callimachus often adopts a polemical stance against some colleagues in order to suggest his poetic excellence. Theocritus chooses a third …
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…
The Past in Aeschylus and Sophocles
The book studies the past of the characters in Aeschylus and Sophocles, a neglected but crucial topic. The characters' beliefs, values, and emotionsbear on their view of the past. This view reinforces their beliefs and their conception of themselves and others as agentsof free will and members of a family and/or community. The study reveals that, although the characters' idea of the past is fixed, the impact of the past is not. The characters con…
A Commentary on Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris
This work is the first major commentary on Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris to appear in English in more than 65 years. It offers detailed analysis of a fascinating play that scholars so far had considered mainly as a source of information about Athenian cult and viewed as a romantic adventure story with happy end. Apart from including sober assessments of textual, linguistic and metrical problems, the commentary sheds new light on the play’s treat…

Menelaus and Pelops in Euripides' Orestes
Etude des principes de la philia, designant l'amour familial, et de la karis, designant le phenomene de reconnaissance, dans l'«Oreste» d'Euripide. Mesurant le role de Menelas a la lecture de la troisieme intervention du choeur ou il est fait reference a Pelops, l'ancetre des Atrides, l'A. montre qu'Euripide accorde une place plus importante et un statut plus eclectique au passe mythique de cette famille que ses predecesseurs. Examinant l'expose …
