Condition: Gut. pp. 1-10. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author to W. Haase. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: In 1858 Friedrich Haase argued that the final strophe (190-202) and antistrophe (20315) of the parodos (150-215) should be transposed. Few have noticed Haases suggestion and fewer still have taken it seriously. R.D. Dawe mentioned it in the apparatus criticus of his third Teubner edition of Oedipus Rex (1996). In a subsequent article (1999) Dawe wrote that in that 1996 Teubner edition he came very close to putting Haases proposed transposition into his text; in his recent Green and Yellow Cambridge commentary on Oedipus Rex (2006), a substantial revision of his 1982 edition, he actually does so. Were it not for Dawes deserved standing as one of the worlds pre-eminent textual critics of Sophocles and for the widespread use of his Green and Yellow edition and for the possibility that this radical textual alteration might make its way into a future Teubner edition of all the plays (the second Teubner edition of Dawes Sophoclis Tragoediae was published in 1984), refutation of Haases proposal might be unnecessary. It has been neglected for 150 years and with good reason. Nevertheless, given the three aforementioned reasons, it is worth refuting Dawes resurrection of Haases proposal.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. p. 97-112. 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 underlined, copy double folded, otherwse clean. - From the text: The crossroads where Oedipus killed Laius - not really a crossroads in the common English sense of the word cross, but triple roads (triplai amaxitoí), the junction of three roads (tríodos) or, most frequently, a split/cracked/forked road (schistí ódós) - is first mentioned at Oedipus Tyrannus 716. Most commentaries have so little to say on it that Stephen Halliwell has called the crossroads a neglected detail in the play. In one sense it is the fate of crossroads to be neglected not only by commentators, but also - until too late - by the plays characters. But at the same time, the circumstances of its existence seem almost to compel readers to seek many different kinds of significance for it. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 1-19. 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, slightly bumped, otherwise very good and clean. - ABSTRACT: This paper examines the different treatments of Teiresias in Sophocles and Senecas Oedipus the King. Sophocles fashions his Teiresias as a grumpy curmudgeon, gallingly reluctant to share his knowledge, as is expected of a seer. His unseerlike behavior serves two key functions. On the dramatic plane, it creates and sustains the dramatic conflict in a plot in which nothing much happens until the very end. Thematically, it highlights the limitations of human knowledge, which cannot alleviate suffering in a world in which destiny is in the hands of the gods. Senecas Teiresias is a much reduced figure, without a character, in the sense of a consistent set of traits or behaviors. Rather he appears in three unconnected depictions, in each of which he is differently presented. In his main depiction, in the divination scene, he is a mild-mannered, unimposing seer, eager to do his job but lacking the full knowledge attributed to his Sophoclean precursor. His function is to serve as master of the rite, who directs the divination and makes it dramatically compelling. In both plays, Teiresias may be seen as a representative of the gods. Sophocles depiction highlights and protests the cruelty of the gods, Senecas projects a more resigned and accepting attitude. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
