Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 95-112. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to Pat and Jeff Henderson. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: We are accustomed to think of Medea, in Euripides tragedy as in other representations of her myth, as a passionate rejected wife, motivated by jealous hatred to commit a crime that exceeds even the wrong that has been done to her. Indisputably, Jason has betrayed their marriage, and the tragedy is deeply concerned with problems of gender and family. But Medeas charges against her husband emphasize also issues that transcend sexual difference and domestic conflict, suggesting that Euripides is interested in the myth from other perspectives as well. For what does Medea herself actually blame Jason? When we look at her own words, in contrast to what others (the Nurse, the Chorus, Creon, Jason) say about her situation, we find little reference to jealousy and even less to love gone wrong. To be sure, as Bernard Knox and other critics have recently shown, Medea responds to Jasons betrayal with a heroic temper, in the manner of an injured Achilles or Ajax, conscious above all of the dishonor she has suffered. But the way she describes the nature of Jasons offense focuses, surprisingly perhaps, on his misuse of language. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Athena, judging at the krísis oplón in some red-figured vase-paintings, makes a gesture that can help to explain what Euripides audience understood by the word.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 187-210. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Binding very stained, pamphlet torn at top but outside of typescript, text very clean. - From the text: Biography can serve as a convenient aid in literary interpretation, explaining puzzling emphases, accounting for an authors choice of subject. It offers a chance to spy on the intriguing mysteries of the creative process and somehow, though perhaps only partially, to reveal its workings. Because biography informs so well about literature since the eighteenth century, readers of ancient literature instinctively search for information about authors lives to interpret Greek and Latin texts, particularly for complex ½uvres like Euripides which seem to drift until some biographical or historical framework is brought in to anchor them. - Wikipedia: Mary R. Lefkowitz (born April 30, 1935) is an American scholar of Classics. She is the Professor Emerita of Classical Studies at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where she previously worked from 1959 to 2005. She has published ten books over the course of her career. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 167-184. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Author's name handwritten on title page, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: Among the lyrics of extant Greek tragedy several passages of Euripides are remarkable for the effects of pathos achieved by introducing children. In Alcestis the children of the protagonists appear unexpectedly on the stage and sing a strophic lament over their dead mother, punctuated by two trimeters of Admetus sharing their grief (392-415). Suppliants presents an even longer and more complex choral lament as Euadnes now orphaned children join with the chorus in a commatic, antiphonal threnos for their mother (1123-64). - Wikipedia: Charles Paul Segal (March 19, 1936 January 1, 2002) was an American classicist renowned for his application of critical theory to ancient texts. Although his work spanned a variety of Latin and Greek genres, he is best known for his work on Greek tragedy. His most influential work is Tragedy and Civilization: an Interpretation of Sophocles (1981), in which he presents a structuralist approach to Greek theatre. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Condition: Gut. pp. 144-197. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name handwritten on the cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - Extract: The Ion is one of Euripides' most dazzling and puzzling plays. Poised on the boundary between the sacred and the sceptical, the mysterious and the mundane, the mythic and the realistic, and, as so many have noted, between the tragic and the comic, the drama dips and twists and turns and turns and turns again in a continuing series of theatrical tours de force. The birds who swoop down in the opening scene and intervene again in the most important moment of the plot at Ion's banquet might well exemplify these paradoxes of which I speak. Defilers of the sacred temple dedications with unwanted offerings of their own (1067, 176) and nesting in the eaves of the roof, crudely making offspring, no doubt, as Ion suspects them of doing (1725), they are at the same time bearers of sacred messages (phemas) to mortals from the gods (1801), oracular portents (oionoi) both generic and particular (1191, 1333, 377) which will prove their worth when, later at the banquet, one of the birds drinks the poisoned wine meant for Ion and by its own lifeless form reveals the lethal plot to its interpreter (1196211).

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 248-252. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: [.] So Murrays Oxford text, adopting Hermanns emended accentuation of Ls [.], taking the word as a vocative of [.] and punctuating accordingly. It is perfectly reasonable for the chorus to address their god as [.] (they thus refer to him at 1192), and certainly after the rather blunt [.] a vocative of some sort seems called for, not so much to specify the addressee, for he has just been named at 551, but simply to render these lines a prayer and not a command.An important but all too often forgotten desideratum of any emended reading in tragedy, however, is that it be not merely something the poet could conceivably have written, but a written transcription of something he might reasonably have intended actors or chorus to sing or say. Under conditions of oral performance, and so without the benefit of punctuation marks or the leisure which we enjoy to peruse the lines as something static on a printed page, would the audience really have been likely to hear the metrically uttered clause.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 365-374. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name underlined on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: Death is quite pervasive in Greek literature. It is much lamented in Greek lyrics and it is an integral part of two major genres, the epic and the tragic. In the Iliad, it is part and parcel of the heroic life. Achilles is offered the choice between a long, undistinguished life or a short, glorious one crowned by everlasting renown {II. 9.410-416). Only the latter is heroic. The untimely and unnatural death of the key protagonists is also one of the defining features of Greek, and subsequent, tragedy. In both genres, unnatural and often violent death is linked to greatness. Yet Greek literature does not glorify death. In the Iliad, the abundant detail with which killing and dying are described is not only fascinating; it is also repellent. The tragedies are concerned less with the heroes demise, which is foreknown and taken for granted, than with how they live and the choices they make before they die. In both genres, death is generally presented as inevitable, fearful, and very sad, not welcomed or embraced. The afterworld is envisioned as sunless, cheerless Hades, whose inhabitants pine for the life they had lost. The Elysian Fields, blissful as they are said to be, are described only in the vaguest of terms and do not seem to offer much comfort for the general lot of humanity. While Hesiod tells us that their inhabitants are untouched by sorrow, he also relays that the place is apart from men (Hes. Op 167-73). Most of the Greek heroes, some even with divine ancestry (e.g., Achilles), do not seem to have been granted entry. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Condition: Gut. pp. 125-159. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, Cover very lightly rubbed and a bit bumped, a bit dog-eared, otherwise clean. - From the text: No one needs to be told that in certain of his plays Euripides alludes to Aeschylus, and sometimes all but explicitly cites him. Except for scattered comments in studies of individual plays and three general surveys, however, attention to this matter has arisen in connection with those plays that treat the same myths as Aeschylus did, such as Electra, Orestes, and Phoenissae. In fact, reminiscences of Aeschylus occur, in some plays sporadically but often in what seems systematic deployment, throughout Euripides plays, and not just in those texts where we would expect to find him. The work most frequently recalled is the Oresteia, and the number and nature of the allusions suggest that the trilogy, end especially the parodos of the Agamemnon with its narrative of the events at Aulis, was a deeply but creatively problematical text for Euripides.
