Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Later reprint (2010s? ) Underlining in pencil to a few pages. Minor chipping to DJ. ; The poetry of the archaic period that the Greeks called iambic is characterized by scornful criticism of friend and foe and by sexual license. The purpose of these poems is unclear, but they seem to have some connection with cult songs used in religious festivals--for example, those honoring Dionysus and Demeter. In this completely new Loeb Classical Library edition of early Greek iambic poetry, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful and fully annotated translation of the fragments that have come down to us. Archilochus expressed himself in colorful and vigorous language. Famous throughout antiquity for his winged barbs, he is often considered the archetypal poet of blame. Other major poets in this volume are Semonides, best known for a long misogynistic poem describing ten types of wives; and Hipponax, who was much admired by the poets of Hellenistic Alexandria, in part for his depictions of the licentious and seamy side of society. ; Loeb Classical Library No. 259; 560 pages.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the evolution of Greek women in the fifth century B.C.E. through a unique text, offering rare insights into their experiences, desires, and anxieties. The author skillfully interprets a papyrus scroll containing poetry credited to a female poet that exposes a far more complex and multifaceted tapestry of women's lives than previously known. The poems provide a window into the interiority of women's lives, exploring themes of female agency, sexuality, and the oppression they faced in a patriarchal society. This groundbreaking analysis enriches our understanding of gender dynamics in ancient Greece, challenging preconceived notions and shedding light on the hidden narratives of women in a male-dominated world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
