Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. p. 97-112. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Author's name underlined, copy double folded, otherwse clean. - From the text: The crossroads where Oedipus killed Laius - not really a crossroads in the common English sense of the word cross, but triple roads (triplai amaxitoí), the junction of three roads (tríodos) or, most frequently, a split/cracked/forked road (schistí ódós) - is first mentioned at Oedipus Tyrannus 716. Most commentaries have so little to say on it that Stephen Halliwell has called the crossroads a neglected detail in the play. In one sense it is the fate of crossroads to be neglected not only by commentators, but also - until too late - by the plays characters. But at the same time, the circumstances of its existence seem almost to compel readers to seek many different kinds of significance for it. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Cloth with dustjacket. Condition: Gut. XXIII, 219 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem 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). - Schutzumschlag berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - Mabel Lang's distinguished contributions to Bronze Age and Classical archaeology were matched by sensitive and original studies of Greek historical writing. Her Martin Classical Lectures on Herodotus were published in 1984,- this volume collects her articles on Thucydides and adds substantial previously unpublished material on Thucydidean thought-patterns, adaptations of Herodotean structure, and the importance of indirect speeches in his history. The assembled papers are an important complement to Mabel Lang's pathbreaking study of Herodotean narrative. Together with introductory and biographical essays by Jeffrey Rusten and Eleanor Dickey, and Miss Lang's distinguished longtime colleague Mary Patterson McPherson, these papers will enable students of historiography in general to obtain a better understanding of how Thucydides engaged his audience. Although they were written over many years, the papers share a consistency of insight that makes them continually relevant to all who endeavor to understand the literary art of Thucydides. / CONTENTS Acknowledgments Jeffrey Rusten and Richard Hamilton Foreword Mary Patterson McPherson Mabel Lang on Thucydides Jeffrey Rusten Part One Narrative 1 Participial Motivation in Thucydides Narrative Inconsistencies Internal and External 2 A Note on Ithome 3 Kylonian Conspiracy 4 Scapegoat Pausanias 5 The Murder of Hipparchus 6 Alcibiades vs. Phrynichus Narrative Structure and Historical Interpretation 7 Thucydides and the Epidamnian Affair 8 The Revolution of the 400 9 Revolution of the 400: Chronology and Constitutions Part Two Discourse Thucydidean Thought-Patterns 10 Thucydidean Thought 11 Thucydides as Speech-Writer Herodotean Inheritances and Adaptations 12 Thucydides, First Person 13 The Thucydidean Tetralogy (1.67-88) 14 The Paired Speeches of the Corinthians (1.120-24) and Pericles (1.140-44) and the Stories They Enclose 15 Necessary for Whom?

Paperback. Condition: New. Thucydides' account of the war between Athens and Sparta is the first great work of political history and still a fundamental text for political science and international relations today; it is also a compelling story, full of vivid characters and tragic miscalculations. This collection of essays is designed to accompany, instruct, and stimulate readers of Thucydides by making accessible some classic and influential studies that are frequently cited but not always easy to access. (One-third of the essays appear here in English for the first time.) All Greek is translated, and an introductory chapter surveys the chronology and thematic controversies among Thucydides' readings from antiquity to the present.
