X, 195 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leichte Randläsuren, sonst sehr guter Zustand / slight edge wear, otherwise very good condition. - The papers collected in this volume were originally presented at an international conference sponsored by the Department of Philology of the University of Crete. They discuss issues in Pagan and Christian Imperial epic: Valerius Flaccus, Statius Thebaid and Achilleid, Triphiodorus, Nonnus, Dracontius, and the Orphic Argonautica. They cover a variety of topics: the role of Juno as surrogate poet in Valerius Argonautica (Meredith Monaghan), the unendurable excess of knowledge in the Thebaid (Ellen OGorman), the construction of masculinity in the Achilleid vis-à-vis Quintilians Institutio oratoria (Alessandro Barchiesi), Juvenals satire vs Imperial epic (Kirk Freudenburg), the relationship of Triphiodorus Capture of Troy with Hesiods myth of Pandora (Michael Paschalis), metapoetic aspects of the conflict between Typhoeus and Zeus in Nonnus Dionysiaca (Philip Hardie), the biblical re-writing of Virgilian epic (Francesco Stella), generic consciousness in the Orphic Argonautica (Richard Hunter), and the complex relationship of the Orphic Argonautica with its Greek and Latin intertexts (Damien Nelis). / Table of Contents Contributors Preface - Michael Paschalis, Introduction Meredith English Monaghan, Juno and the Poet in Valerius Argonautica Ellen OGorman, Beyond Recognition: Twin Narratives in Statius Thebaid Alessandro Barchiesi, Masculinity in the 90s: The Education of Achilles in Statius and Quintilian Kirk Freudenburg, Making Epic Silver: The Alchemy of Imperial Satire Michael Paschalis, Pandora and the Wooden Horse: A Reading of Triphiodorus [.] Philip Hardie, Nonnus Typhon: The Musical Giant Fancesco Stella, Epic of the Biblical God: Intercultural Imitation and the Poetics of Alterity Richard Hunter, Generic Consciousness in the Orphic Argonautica?
