This study looks at the funerary inscriptions that are reproduced verbatim in Roman elegy. Through an analysis of quoted inscriptions in the elegies of Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid, the author places these inscriptions into their literary and societal context. While it has often been assumed that the primary motive for including such inscriptions is to achieve a permanent memorial for the dead, this study argues that the inscriptions instead serve a series of functions that are typical for their specific elegaic context, and that distinguish them from inscriptions in other genres.

Die Sammlung macht erstmals die wichtigsten Arbeiten des Autors zur antiken Erzähltechnik in kompakter Form zugänglich und vervollständigt sie durch aktualisierte Vorbemerkungen, Stellungnahmen zu neuen Entwicklungen in der Forschung sowie einen Originalbeitrag zur Aktualität des Thukydides. Das Spektrum umfasst Einzelanalysen zum homerischen und hellenistischen Epos, zur Epinikiendichtung Pindars und des Bakchylides, zum attischen Drama, zu den Kleinformen des Hellenismus, zur griechisch-römischen Geschichtsschreibung sowie zu erzähltheoretisch und literaturhistorisch bedeutsamen Texten (Aristoteles, Poetik; Horaz, Ars poetica; Ps-Longin, De sublimitate ) und zur umstrittenen Chronologie hellenistischer Dichtung. Einleitung und Indices erschließen das Buch. Alle Beiträge sind Interpretationen, die durch möglichst vollständige Auswertung aller sprachlichen und sachlichen Details in ihrem jeweiligen Kontext zu neuen Ergebnissen für das Verständnis der Texte führen. This is the first compact collection giving access to the author's most important works on narrative technique in Classical Antiquity, and they are complemented by updated introductory notes, responses to new developments in research and an original paper on the present relevance of Thucydides. The spectrum encompasses individual analyses of the Homeric and Hellenistic epic, the epinicia by Pindar and Bacchylides, the Attic drama, the minor forms of Hellenistic poetry, Graeco-Roman historical writing, and significant texts for narratology and literary history (Aristotle's Poetics, Horace's Ars poetica, Pseudo-Longin's De sublimitate ) and the controversial chronology of Hellenistic poetry. An introduction and indexes facilitate navigation through the book. All of the studies are interpretations which open up new ways of understanding the texts through as complete an evaluation as possible of all the linguistic and factual details in their relevant contexts.

This volume explores the phenomenon of Christian martyrdom and ideas of ?following Christ,? in particular focusing on theological and pragmatic difficulties in the early Christian period. How can martyrs successfully follow Christ without themselves entering into a competition with Christ? What happens when the idea of following Christ so faithfully as to experience martyrdom becomes impossible because of the fundamentally different living situation of the faithful? How are model and imitation shaped in comparison to pagan exempla? Contributions from archaeology, classical philology, ancient history, theology, and art history suggest some answers to these questions, drawing equally on ancient literature and material culture.
