Éditions Latomus. Fine. 2013. Softcover. This book is an investigation of several key questions relevant to Juvenal’s Fifth Satire: What is the character of the speaker? What is the nature of the addressee (s) ? How should we understand the relationship between patron and client? Furthermore, if we compare Juvenal to Horace’s Satires and Epistles, what are the similarities and differences between Juvenal’s world and the egalitarianism of patronage within the circle around Augustus and Maecenas? What do those texts reveal about Juvenal’s attitude to the emperor; and is it possible to extend Juvenal’s jaundiced view of the rex to the princeps? ; Collection Latomus Volume 342; 100 pages; Isbn: 978287031289X .

It traces the connecting thread through the various episodes. This exercise shows that in two places blocks of lines have been displaced in the vulgate tradition, one of them in the proximity of the “Oxford fragment”. Differences between the readings of manuscripts are confronted and, where possible, resolved. A text resulting from these textual discussions is printed. The commentary analyses the intertextual references that are threaded through the text. It separates out the voice of the moralist from that of the humorist, and identifies the author’s voice as mockingly anti-Caesarean. ; Collection Latomus Volume 329; 473 pages .

Light edgewear to rear wrap and minor creasing. ; Despite widespread interest in the Greek hero as a cult figure, little was written about the relationship between the cult practices and the portrayals of the hero in poetry. The first edition of The Best of the Achaeans bridged that gap, raising new questions about what could be known or conjectured about Greek heroes. In this revised edition, which features a new preface by the author, Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent debate and resumes his discussion of the special status of heroes in ancient Greek life and poetry. His book remains an engaging introduction both to the concept of the hero in Hellenic civilization and to the poetic forms through which the hero is defined: the Iliad and Odyssey in particular and archaic Greek poetry in general. ;… Read More
