Archaic and Classical Greek Epigram.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition -With contributions written by leading experts in the field, this volume explores the dialogue between archaic and classical Greek epigrams and their readers. The authors examine questions surrounding the identity of the speakers and the addressees. They also discuss the spatial, religious, historical and political contexts of epigram, as well as aspects of intertextuality, poetic variation and the creation of epigrammatic sub-genres. Collectively the volume demonstrates that the dominant view of epigram as a genre that became literary and artistic only in the Hellenistic period has to be revised. Archaic and classical Greek epigrams did not simply serve the objects they describe but also demonstrate a high degree of aesthetic and literary achievement. This volume breaks new ground in the study of the genre and is important for scholars of classics, archaeology, epigraphy and papyrology. -- CONTENTS -- Archaic and classical Greek epigram: an introduction Manuel Baumbach, Andrej Petrovic, Ivana Petrovic -- Contextualisation -- Speaking and reading: the dialogue between epigram and passer-by -- Speaker and addressee in early Greek epigram and lyric Thomas A.
