Abstract

"Antinous: Boy Made God is the catalogue of an exhibition that center's around one of the most important surviving portraits of Antinous, an inscribed bust from Syria found in 1879 and currently in a private collection. The piece is basically unpublished and will be presented for the first time to the wider public in this volume. Other key portraits, as well as coins of Antinous, medals and bronze figurines, feature here, and help contextualise the image of this country boy who was greatly loved by the Emperor Hadrian and became a hero and a god within the Empire. The exhibition and the book's narrative highlight the range and variety of Antinous' reception and shows how the fascination and reach of his image went well beyond antiquity into the modern world. It reconstructs a visual biography of an extraordinarily fascinating figure, representing an ideal of perfect beauty for many centuries after his tragic death."--Publisher's website

Abstract

Here Stephen Tracy offers a vivid, fast-paced narrative that serves as a reading guide to Homer's monumental epic. He not only provides translations of key passages and traces the evolution of major themes in the Odyssey, but also helps new readers to understand the artistry of one of the best tales ever told. Aimed at advanced readers as well, this book stresses an appreciation of how Homer has ordered his narrative, covering such topics as character interaction, family relationships, elements of poetic language, and the symbolic treatment of death, rebirth, growth, and knowledge. Given the controversy over the way the Odyssey was composed and handed down, Tracy concentrates on presenting the poem as a highly unified work. His analysis of the narrative structure reveals the epic to be arranged as a series of parallel journeys. The journey, seen here as a symbol of growth and self-knowledge, is among the major themes discussed in detail, along with the importance of women as overseers of life's journeys and the need for the sons of heroes to grow up worthy of their fathers.

Abstract

Nach dem Tod des Princeps Traian sah sich sein Nachfolger Hadrian mit einem schweren Erbe konfrontiert. Mehr noch als die Ungewissheit seiner Adoption machte die übermächtige Selbstdarstellung Traians als bester aller Principes seine Herrschaft prekär: Sie ließ Hadrian kaum Spielraum mit dem vorgeblich uneinholbaren Vorgänger gleichzuziehen. Aus diesem Grund änderte Hadrian die Parameter seiner Selbstdarstellung radikal. Einerseits betonte er den direkten Anschluss seiner Herrschaft an jene des Augustus und damit an die Anfänge des Prinzipats, andererseits wurden Rekurse auf Griechenland zu einem konstitutiven Teil der hadrianischen Imago. Christian Seebacher zeigt, auf welche Weise Hadrian diese auf den ersten Blick höchst widersprüchlichen Modi der Selbstbeschreibung zu einem stimmigen Bild seiner Herrscherpersönlichkeit und seines Prinzipats zu vereinen und nutzbar zu machen verstand. Damit liefert Seebacher auch einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um Kontinuität und Wandel im römischen Prinzipat.
