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.

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.

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"--
