Abstract

This volume is the first comprehensive commentary on the fourth book of Martial's epigrams. The introduction discusses its date of publication, major themes (Domitian, literature, death), the arrangement and form of the epigrams, and some issues concerning the transmission of the text. Of special note is the author’s study of the structure of the book. The commentary, preceded by the Latin critical text and an English translation, aims to provide readers with as much pertinent information as possible to enable them to fully comprehend the epigrams. Attention is paid to style and literary tradition, as well as to realia. Both each individual epigram and the book as a whole are studied as finely accomplished works of art.

Abstract

Integration is a buzzword in the 21st century. However, academics still do not agree on its meaning and, above all, on its consequences. This book offers numerous examples showing that the inhabitants of the Roman Mediterranean were "integrated", i.e. were aware of the existence of a common framework of coexistence, without this necessarily resulting in a process of cultural convergence. The Spanish poet Martial explicitly refuses to be considered the brother of the Greek Charmenion (10.65): paradoxically, while reaffirming their differences, his satirical epigram confirms the existence of a common frame of reference that encompasses them both. Thus, understanding integration in the Roman world requires paying attention to the multifarious situations that allow to glimpse the complexity of integration in Roman times.

Abstract

A Prosopography to Martial’s Epigrams is the first dictionary of all the characters and personal names found in the work of Marcus Valerius Martialis, containing nearly 1,000 comprehensive entries. Each of them compiles and analyses all the relevant information regarding the characters themselves, as well as the literary implications of their presence in Martial’s poems. Unlike other works of this kind, the book encompasses not only real people, whose positive existence is beyond doubt, but also fictional characters invented by the poet or inherited from the cultural and literary tradition. Its entries provide the passages of the epigrams where the respective characters appear; the general category to which they belong; the full name (in the case of historical characters); onomastic information, especially about frequency, meaning, and etymology; other literary or epigraphical sources; a prosopographical sketch; a discussion of relevant manuscript variants; and a bibliography. Much attention is paid to the literary portrayal of each character and the poetic usages of their names. This reference work is a much needed tool and is intended as a stimulus for further research.

Abstract

“This is, to our knowledge, the most extraordinary collection of varied and fascinating academic consideration on Game of Thrones ever put to press. By bringing together an international gathering of scholars who come from a wide array of disciplines, Game of Thrones: A View from the Humanities has made a real contribution to the study of popular culture and shown the value of humane inquiry into modern works of fiction.” —Elio M. García Jr. and Linda Antonsson, co-authors with G.R.R. Martin of The World of Ice & Fire “A humanistic approach to GOT. Finding bare and reasonable resemblances between Westeros, Essos and the civilizations of the ancient world.” —Aurora López Güeto, Pablo de Olavide University, Seville, Spain This book reflects on time, space and culture in the Game of Thrones universe. It analyses both the novels and the TV series from a multidisciplinary perspective ultimately aimed at highlighting the complexity, eclecticism and diversity that characterise Martin’s world. The volume is divided into three thematic sections. The first section focuses on space—both the urban and natural environment—and the interaction between human beings and their surroundings. The second section follows different yet complementary approaches to Game of Thrones from an aesthetic and cultural perspective. The final section addresses the linguistic and translation implications of the Game of Thrones universe, as well as its didactic uses. This book is paired with a second volume that focuses on the characters, violence and warfare in Martin’s universe. Alfonso Álvarez-Ossorio is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Seville, Spain. He has co-edited The Present of Antiquity: Reception, Recovery, Reinvention of the Ancient World in Current Popular Culture (2019). Fernando Lozano is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Seville, Spain. His research focuses on the study of Roman religion during the Empire and, specifically, on the imperial cult, as well as Reception studies. Rosario Moreno Soldevila is Professor of Latin at Pablo de Olavide University, Seville, Spain. She has authored or co-authored ten monographs on Latin literature, including A Prosopography to Martial’s Epigrams (2019). Cristina Rosillo-López is Professor of Ancient History at Pablo de Olavide University, Seville, Spain. She has authored and edited several monographs, including Political Conversations in Late Republican Rome (2022).

Finding bare and reasonable resemblances between Westeros, Essos and the civilizations of the ancient world." -Aurora López Güeto, University Pablo de Olavide, Seville, Spain This volume focuses on the characters that populate the Game of Thrones universe and on one of the most salient features of their interaction: violence and warfare. It analyses these questions from a multidisciplinary perspective that is chiefly based on Classical Studies. The book is divided into two sections. The first section explores Martin's characters, the mainstay of both the novels and the TV series, since the author has peopled his universe with three-dimensional intriguing characters that resonate with the reader/audience. The second section is devoted to violence and warfare, both pervasive in the Game of Thrones universe. Alfonso Álvarez-Ossorio is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Seville, Spain.
