Tapa Blanda. Condition: New. Libro.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Sozomena' bedeutet auf Griechisch 'Gerettetes'. Die Reihe widmet sich der Erschließung von Texten, die aus der griechischen und römischen Antike nur durch ausserordentliche Fund-Umstände erhalten geblieben sind - allen voran durch Papyri, von denen Tausende in Universitäten und Bibliotheken unentziffert vorhanden sind. Die Reihe soll hauptsächlich Texte edieren und interpretieren, aber auch die Methoden der Erschließung diskutieren. Verschiedene Buchtypen werden daher hier veröffentlicht: Texteditionen, Kommentare, Monographien und Sammelbände. Die Hauptsprache der Publikationen ist Englisch, daneben auch Deutsch und Italienisch. Herausgegeben werden die Sozomena von Alessandro Barchiesi (Harvard, MA), Robert Fowler (Bristol), Lucia Prauscello (Oxford) und Nigel Wilson (Oxford) im Namen der Herculaneum Society, die zur Förderung der Erschließung des wichtigsten Fundkomplexes antiker Papyri gegründet wurde: der Villa dei Papiri im Pompeji benachbarten antiken Herculaneum mit ihren zum Teil noch nicht ausgegrabenen Schätzen an Textrollen.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The recent discovery of Greek hexameters in a palimpsest in the library of Saint Catherines Monastery in Sinai (Sin. ar. NF 66) introduced a fascinating new piece of the puzzle for scholars of ancient Greek mythology studying the tales of the god Dionysus. This volume provides a new critical edition and translations of the text, along with essays that explore crucial interpretive issues, including the poetics of the text, its connections with Greek religion and ritual, and its relation to other hexametrical texts such as Nonnus Dionysiaca, the Orphic Hymns, and the Orphic Rhapsodies. This fragmentary palimpsest includes new twists on the less frequently attested stories of the childhood of Dionysus, including his relations with Aphrodite and his divine mother, Persephone, as well as his grisly dismemberment at the hands of the minions of his stepmother, Hera. This exciting new text will be of interest to scholars of antiquity, including specialists in imperial Greek literature and early Christianity, as it sheds light on a number of mysteries in Greek religion and mythology and might even provide the first direct witness to the lost Orphic Rhapsodies, known currently only from quotations preserved in other ancient authors.
