Abstract

"The sixth book of the Iliad includes some of the most memorable and best-loved episodes in the whole poem: it holds meaning and interest for many different people, not just students of ancient Greek. Book 6 describes how Glaukos and Diomedes, though fighting on opposite sides, recognise an ancient bond of hospitality and exchange gifts on the battlefield. It then follows Hector as he enters the city of Troy and meets the most important people in his life: his mother, Helen and Paris, and finally his wife and baby son. It is above all through the loving and fraught encounter between Hector and Andromache that Homer exposes the horror of war. This edition is suitable for undergraduates at all levels, and students in the upper forms of schools. The Introduction requires no knowledge of Greek and is intended for all readers interested in Homer"--

Abstract

Die Faszination für Homer gehört seit der frühen Neuzeit zu den Konstanten deutscher Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte. Volkssprachige Übersetzungen sind spätestens seit Johann Heinrich Voß verlässliche Seismografen, die ein verstärktes Interesse an der Antike anzeigen und im Rekurs auf »Ilias« und »Odyssee«, zwei Urtexten der Weltliteratur, das Selbstverständnis der eigenen Gegenwart beeinflussen. Die Vermittlung der Antike war und ist Teil eines Moderne-Diskurses, der gerade in Zeiten der Beschleunigung den Geltungsanspruch wirkungsmächtiger Traditionen ständig erneuert. Phasen verstärkter Übersetzungsaktivitäten standen und stehen im engen Zusammenhang mit kulturellen Umbrüchen. Daher ist es wohl kein Zufall, dass schon in der ersten Dekade des 21. Jahrhunderts konkurrierende Übersetzungsprojekte die Homer-Rezeption erneut stimulieren. Der Sonderband enthält Beiträge zu Übersetzungen und Nachdichtungen Homers von Simon Schaidenreissers »Odyssea« (1537) bis Raoul Schrotts »Ilias« (2008), zur Homer- Rezeption in der deutschen Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte und zu den vielfältigen Spuren Homers in der Gegenwartsliteratur.

Abstract

The Homeric Questions of the Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry (3rd cent. CE) is an important work in the history of Homeric criticism. In contrast to the philosopher's allegorical readings of Homer in De Antro and De Styge, in the Homeric Questions Porphyry solves problemata by applying the dictum that "the poet explains himself". Based on a new collation of the manuscripts, this edition of Porphyry's Homeric Questions on the Iliad is the first since 1880. The preface contains sections on Porphyry's life and works, the manuscript tradition of the text, scholarship on the Homeric Questions, and the principles of this edition. The editor has eliminated much that had been wrongly attributed to Porphyry on stylistic grounds and has constructed text according to a strict distinction between extracts of the Homeric Questions, epitomes of the extracts, and Porphyrian scholia - all confusingly interspersed in the old text. A facing English translation at last makes this text accessible to the Greek-less reader. The commentary explains Porphyry's arguments and the editor's textual decisions. The editor sheds new light on Porphyry's use of the dictum that "the poet explains himself", by differentiating it from that of Alexandria textual critics.

Abstract

Did Homer tell the 'truth' about the Trojan War? If so, how much, and if not, why not? The issue was hardly academic to the Greeks living under the Roman Empire, given the centrality of both Homer, the father of Greek culture, and the Trojan War, the event that inaugurated Greek history, to conceptions of Imperial Hellenism. This book examines four Greek texts of the Imperial period that address the topic - Strabo's Geography, Dio of Prusa's Trojan Oration, Lucian's novella True Stories, and Philostratus' fictional dialogue Heroicus - and shows how their imaginative explorations of Homer and his relationship to history raise important questions about the nature of poetry and fiction, the identity and intentions of Homer himself, and the significance of the heroic past and Homeric authority in Imperial Greek culture.
