"This book plumbs the virtues of the Homeric poems as scripts for solo performance. Despite academic focus on orality and on composition in performance, we have yet to fully appreciate the Iliad and Odyssey as the sophisticated scripts that they are. What is lost in the journey from the stage to the page? Readers may be readily impressed by the vividness of the poems, but they may miss out on the strange presence or uncanniness that the performer evoked in ancient audience members such as Plato and Aristotle. This book focuses on the performer not simply as transparent mediator, but as one haunted by multiple stories and presences, who brings suppressed voices to the surface. Performance is inextricable from all aspects of the poems, from image to structure to background story. Background stories previously neglected, even in some of the most familiar passages (such as Phoenix's speech in Iliad 9) are brought to the surface, and passages readers tend to rush through (such as Odysseus's encounter with Eumaeus) are shown to have some of the richest dramatic potential. Attending to performance enlivens isolated features in a given passage by showing how they work together"--

Autour des thèmes de la dissimulation et du déguisement, du retour et de la dérive, de la synonymie troublante du cœur et du ventre, le livre reconstruit les lectures que dans leurs jeux d’"écriture" les deux grands poèmes homériques proposent l’un de l’autre, parodie narquoise de l’Iliade et ses valeurs héroïques dans l’Odyssée, lecture ironique de la tradition odysséenne par l’Iliade. La thèse d’une réciprocité entre ces lectures intertextuelles se fonde sur l’analyse philologique précise des textes, et sur une réflexion théorique et méthodique qui développe les travaux de Jacques Derrida et Paul de Man. Elle prend également en compte les recherches linguistiques et anthropologiques les plus récentes sur la constitution des traditions épiques.

This text explores the content, character, & structure of the Homeric Odyssey through a modern psychological lens, focusing on how the epic both represents the workings of the human mind & provides for its audiences - both ancient & modern - a therapeutic model for coping with the exigencies of chance & fate. By reading the Odyssey as an exploration of the constitutive elements of human identity, the function of narrative in defining the self, & the interaction between the individual & their social context, the book addresses enduring questions about the poem, such as the importance of Telemachus's role, why Odysseus must tell his own tale, & the epic's sudden & unexpected closure. Through these dynamics, the book reasons, the Odyssey not only instructs readers about how narrative shapes a sense of agency but also offers solutions for avoiding dangerous stories & destructive patterns of thought.

From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text; the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of 'macropedia' essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary 'micropedia' articles. The Cambridge Guide to Home thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures.

This book offers a radically new reading of Quintus' Posthomerica, the first account to combine a literary and cultural-historical understanding of what is the most important Greek epic written at the height of the Roman Empire. In Emma Greensmith's ground-breaking analysis, Quintus emerges as a key poet in the history of epic and of Homeric reception. Writing as if he is Homer himself, and occupying the space between the Iliad and the Odyssey, Quintus constructs a new 'poetics of the interval'. At all levels, from its philology to its plotting, the Posthomerica manipulates the language of affiliation, succession and repetition not just to articulate its own position within the inherited epic tradition but also to contribute to the literary and identity politics of imperial society. This book changes how we understand the role of epic and Homer in Greco-Roman culture - and completely re-evaluates Quintus' status as a poet.

Den Gegenstand der beiden Teilbände bilden die in den homerischen Epen Ilias und Odyssee u·berlieferten nominalen Flexionsformen. Zu den nominalen Klassen gerechnet werden außer den Substantiven, Adjektiven und Partizipien auch die zum Teil flexionslosen Kardinalia und die Pronomina. Eigennamen und Ableitungen von Eigennamen sind eingeschlossen und durch Großschreibung kenntlich gemacht. Im Partizip u·berschneiden sich Verbum und Nomen. Während in dem Band u·ber die homerischen Verbalformen die Partizipstämme den verschiedenen Temporalstämmen und Diathesen zugeordnet, also der verbalen Konjugation zugerechnet sind, sind hier ihre nominalen Deklinationsformen verzeichnet. Das Ziel der Bände ist es, sämtliche homerischen Flexionsformen in dem beschriebenen Rahmen zu sammeln, zu bestimmen, nach formalen und inhaltlichen, insbesondere grammatischen Grundsätzen zu ordnen sowie mit Stellenangaben vorzufu·hren. Die homerischen Nominalformen werden nach Möglichkeit aufgrund des innerhomerischen Befundes bestimmt und beurteilt. Sprachgeschichtliche Erkenntnisse sind jedoch ebensowenig außer Acht gelassen wie der Befund des nachhomerischen Griechisch.

Homer?s 'Odyssey' is one of the most fascinating and popular texts of all time, inspiring not only artists and poets but also generating a massive amount of research. This book focuses for the first time on the 'Odyssey"s reception in late antiquity, the period that witnesses the transformation of classical culture into the world of the middle ages. The epic?s late antique pictorial reception was a selective one. Artists represented but a small canon of topics: Odysseus? encounter with the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, with the dangerous sorceress Circe, with the bewitching song of the Sirens, and with Scylla the man-eater; a handful of iconographically diverse depictions can be related to the hero?s return to Ithaca that never attracted as much attention as Odysseus? adventures in the course of the wandering. In all cases, the book stresses the close relation between viewer, or context of reception, and specific form of artistic rendering. Depending on context and intended viewer, Odysseus e.g. can be characterized as a person with whom the man in the street can identify, as a problematic and ridiculous figure, or as an example of virtue. Almost all late antique depictions of Odysseus? wanderings have been found - and produced - in the Western provinces of the Roman Empire. In the course of Roman antiquity, the Greek hero and his wanderings had become what they are still: a part of Western cultural identity.00The 'Odyssey"s late antique literary reception was much more multifaceted than the artistic one, as regards topics and geography. In this book, though, the focus will be on those topics that were dealt with in the visual arts, too. Contrasting the late antique pictorial reception with the literary one, and contrasting both with the Homeric epic, reveals the originality of late antiquity?s artists and writers.

"Homer's Iliad and Odyssey are the only early Greek heroic epics to have survived the transition to writing, even though extant evidence indicates that they emerged from a thriving oral culture. Among the missing are the songs of Boeotian Thebes. Homer's Thebes examines moments in the Iliad and Odyssey where Theban characters and thematic engagements come to the fore. Rather than sifting through these appearances to reconstruct lost poems, Elton Barker and Joel Christensen argue that the Homeric poems borrow heroes from Thebes to address key ideas--about politics, time, and genre--that set out the unique superiority of these texts in performance. By using evidence from Hesiod and fragmentary sources attributed to Theban tradition, Barker and Christensen explore Homer's appropriation of Theban motifs of strife and distribution to promote his tale of the sack of Troy and the returns home. As Homer's Thebes shows, this Theban material sheds light on the exceptionality of the Homeric epics through the notions of poetic rivalry and Panhellenism. Furthermore, by emphasizing a nonhierarchical model of "reading" the epics derived from oral-formulaic poetics, this book contributes to recent debates about allusion, neoanalysis, and intertextuality"--

Wie begegnet der griechische Historiker Herodot im 5. Jh. v. Chr. fremder Religion? Wie stellt er persische und ägyptische Religion in seinen Historien dar? Herodots Erzählung über Ägypten, die Beschreibung persischer Sitten und die Eroberung Ägyptens durch den persischen König Kambyses stehen im Zentrum der Studie.Andreas Schwab entwickelt ausgehend von neueren religionswissenschaftlichen Ansätzen ein mehrdimensionales Konzept von Religion, um Aspekte antiker Religion zu erfassen, die über Götter und Opfer hinausgehen: die religiöse Dimension des Sozialen, des Raums, der Zeit, der Ästhetik und der Interaktion. So zeigt er erstmals, dass Herodots Auseinandersetzung mit fremder Religion erheblich breiter, tiefer und differenzierter ist als bisher angenommen. Herodot lässt konkurrierende Stimmen und Deutungen von Priestern und Einheimischen zu religiösen Sachverhalten zur Sprache kommen. Er ist somit nicht nur als ein Religionshistoriker, sondern auch als 'Religionswissenschaftler' avant la lettre anzusehen. Diese neue Erschließung ist für die Klassische Philologie, Alte Geschichte, Ägyptologie, Religionswissenschaft, Theologie- und Religionsgeschichte von besonderem Interesse.
