An Introduction to Silius Italicus and the Punica John Jacobs, Montclair Kimberley Academy, USA

"An excellent introduction and a vital resource for anyone interested in Flavian epic, Roman history and post-Augustan politics." Dalida Agri, Teaching Fellow in Classics, University of Birmingham, UK A much-needed comprehensive introduction to Silius Italicus and the Punica, John Jacobs invites students and scholars alike to read the epic as a thoughtful and considered treatment of Rome’s past, present, and (perilous) future. After introductory chapters for those new to the poet and poem, Jacobs' close reading of the epic narrative guides readers through the Punica. All Greek and Latin passages are translated to ensure accessibility for those reading in English.

Technical Automation in Classical Antiquity Maria Gerolemou, University of Exeter, UK

Technical automation, the ability of manmade (or god-made) objects to move and act autonomously, is not just the province of science fiction – in this book Maria Gerolemou demonstrates how ancient literature, performance and engineering were often concerned with the way nature and artifice interacted. She starts with the earliest Greek literature of Homer and Hesiod, where Hephaestus has ‘robots’ in his forge and Pandora is brought to life. The second chapter looks at tragedy and comedy, where automation is used to augment and undermine nature not only through staging and costume but also in plot devices where statues come to life. Finally, Gerolemou considers how the engineers of the 4th century with their puppets and mechanical devices contributed to a growing dialogue around technical automation and how it could help but also trick its creators.

Sophrosune in the Greek Novel Reading Reactions to Desire

Rachel Bird, Swansea University, UK This book offers the first comprehensive evaluation of ancient novels in terms of their ethics, demonstrating how their representation of the cardinal virtue sophrosune positions these texts in their literary, philosophical and cultural contexts. In this book, Rachel Bird focuses on the extant examples of the genre, which have the virtue of sophrosyne at their heart. As each pair of lovers strive to retain their chastity in the face of adversity, and under extreme pressure from eros, it is essential to understand the nuances of how this cardinal virtue is represented in the major characters within each of these novels.

Teaching Latin: Contexts, Theories, Practices

Steven Hunt, University of Cambridge, UK "A must-read for Latin teachers and those who train them. Informed by the latest theory and practice, Hunt’s accessible and engaging volume admirably supports teachers in the task of making the best choices for how they teach." Ronnie Ancona, Professor of Classics, Hunter College, USA As the sequel to Starting to Teach Latin, this book is a guide for both new and more experienced school teachers of Latin. It draws on multiple examples of real teachers and students as they develop the knowledge and understanding of how to comprehend frequently used, adapted and original texts from beginners’ to advanced levels. Steven Hunt considers deductive, inductive and communicative methods which support teachers in making the best choices for their students’ needs and their own personal preferences.

Euripides: Electra

Rush Rehm, Stanford University, USA This new student introduction to Euripides' fascinating re-interpretation of the story of Orestes and his sister shows through an emphasis on its theatricality just how compelling the play remains to this day. Rush Rehm addresses the most important questions about Electra, from how its shift in tone between tragedy and humour should be interpreted, to why Euripides arranged the plot as he did, in contrast with earlier versions of the myth.

The Violent Hero

Heracles in the Greek Imagination Katherine Lu Hsu, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA Uses the mythological hero Heracles as a lens through which to investigate the nature of heroic violence in Archaic and Classical Greek literature, from Homer through to Aristophanes. Katherine Lu Hsu argues that as the tradition of his apotheosis becomes established in the 6th century BCE and his religious and political status grows, Heracles’ violence becomes more problematic and requires greater intellectual scrutiny. Lu Hsu also explores the evolving attitudes towards individual violence in the ancient Greek world while also shedding light on timeless debates about the nature of violence itself.

Rob Tordoff, York University, Canada A student introduction to Aristophanes’ most explosive political satire, this volume is an essential guide to the context, themes and later reception of Cavalry.

Theatre Props and Civic Identity in Athens, 458-405 BC Rosie Wyles, University of Kent, UK

This volume answers the question 'How did Athenian drama shape ideas about civic identity?' through the medium of three case studies focusing on props. Wyles explores the on-stage and offstage symbolism of the chosen objects (voting urns and pebbles, swords, and masks) to produce a micro-history of the construction of Athenian identity through theatre, acknowledging both how dramas shaped the city’s self-reflective thinking and were enriched by it. This innovative approach to the relationship between Athenian theatre and society also brings fresh insights to two further areas: the dynamics between dramatic genres and the interaction of theatre with iconography.

The Spirited Horse

Equid–Human Relations in the Bronze Age Near East Laerke Recht, University of Cambridge, UK Presenting a new perspective on human–animal relations in the ancient Near East, this volume considers how we should understand equids (horses, donkeys, onagers and various hybrids) as animals that are social actors. Recht brings together a wealth of new data, including Bronze Age Near Eastern material culture from a range of archaeological contexts with equid remains as well as iconography and texts. She looks in particular at finds of equids themselves from burials, sacred space and settlements alongside associated artefacts such as chariots and harnesses.

Gendered Politics in Sophocles’ Trachiniae Gesthimani Seferiadi, Independent Scholar, Greece

This is the first book-length examination of the gendered politics in Sophocles’ Trachiniae. Making use of feminist theory and tackling the political nature of the categories of identity, culture, and sexuality, Gesthimani Seferiadi brings the interpretation of Sophocles’ play up-to-date with the most recent scholarly developments. Contributing to the topic of rape in the ancient world, this book focuses on sexual violence and the intertwinement of marriage and rape from the perspective of tragedy.

Textiles and Gender in Antiquity

The Roman Castrati

Edited by Mary Harlow, University of Leicester, UK, Cecile Michel, CNRS, Archéologie et Sciences de l’Antiquité, France & Louise Quillien, University of Paris I PanthéonSorbonne, France.

Shaun Tougher, University of Cardiff, UK

From the Orient to the Mediterranean

"This essential volume provides a much-needed study of textiles, dress, and gender in the ancient world." Kelly Olson, Professor of Classical Studies, University of Western Ontario, Canada This volume looks at how the issues of textiles and gender intertwine across three millennia in antiquity, and examines the continuities and differences across time and space – with surprising resonances for the modern world. The detailed analysis of textual source material and rich illustrations ably demonstrate how dress and gender are intimately linked in the visual and written records of antiquity.

Aristophanes: Cavalry

Eunuchs in the Roman Empire This book is the first to be devoted to the range of Roman eunuchs who existed as slaves, court officials, religious figures and free men. Across seven chapters (spanning the third century BC to the sixth century AD), Shaun Tougher examines the history of Roman eunuchs, focusing on key texts and specific individuals. A key theme of the chapters is gender, inescapable when studying castrated males. Ultimately this book is as much about the eunuch in the Roman imagination as it is the reality of the eunuch in the Roman empire.

Roman Law and Latin Literature

Edited by Ioannis Ziogas, Durham University, UK & Erica M. Bexley, Durham University, UK This volume offers a long overdue appraisal of the dynamic interactions between Roman law and Latin literature. Despite their being periods of massive tectonic shifts in the legal and literary landscapes, the Republic and Empire of Rome have not until now been the focus of interdisciplinary study in this field. Bringing together a group of experts from across the globe, this volume brings vital new material to the attention of the law and literature movement.

Tacitean Visual Narrative

Philip Waddell, University of Arizona, USA Combining the studies of modern film, traditional narratology, and Roman art, this interdisciplinary work explores the complex and highly visual techniques of Tacitus' Annales. The volume opens with a discussion of current research in narratology, as applied to Roman historians. Narratology is a helpful and insightful tool, but is often inadequate to deal with specifically visual aspects of ancient narrative. In order to illuminate Tacitus’ techniques, and to make them speak to modern readers, this book focuses on drawing and illustrating parallels between Tacitus’ historiographical methods and modern film effects.

Truth to Power

Maryland, USA This major new perspective on Tacitus' work focuses on his presentation of speeches as tools in the political sphere. While senators under the rule of emperors experienced limitations and changes to what they could achieve in public life, they could hope to create a dimension of political power through oratory. Exploring Tacitus' evaluation of the various modes of speech - from flattery to independent truth-telling - this volume goes beyond literary analysis of the texts to create a new framework for studying this essential period in ancient Roman history.

An Ancestral Custom

Exploring the representations of the war dead in early Greek mythology, particularly the Homeric poems and the Epic Cycle, alongside iconographic images on black-figure pottery and the evidence of funerary monuments adorning the graves of early Athenian elites, this book provides much-needed insight into the customs associated with the war dead in Archaic Athens. Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach, and incorporating sources from mythology, art and archaeology, it opens up an important new perspective in ancient warfare studies.

Simplicius: On Aristotle Physics 1.1–2

Translated by Stephen Menn, McGill University, Canada With this translation, all twelve volumes of translation of Simplicius’ commentary on Aristotle’s Physics have been published. In Physics 1.1–2, Aristotle raises the question of the number and character of the first principles of nature and feels the need to oppose the challenge of the paradoxical Eleatic philosophers who had denied that there could be more than one unchanging thing. This volume, part of the groundbreaking Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, translates into English for the first time Simplicius' commentary on this selected text, and includes a brief introduction, extensive explanatory notes, indexes and a bibliography.

Ancient Commentators on Aristotle

This book presents Abu Nasr al-Farabi’s discussion of Aristotle’s invention, the syllogism, which aims to codify the deductively valid arguments in all disciplines. Farabi (c. 870-c. 950 CE), a key Arabic intermediary figure, knew Aristotle and his logic through Greek Neoplatonist interpretations translated into Arabic via Syriac, and possibly Persian.

Early Greek Philosophies of Nature

Andrew Gregory, University College London, UK This radical examination of the philosophies of nature of the early Greek thinkers argues that a significant and thoroughgoing shift is required in our understanding of them. Andrew Gregory argues that there has been a tendency to overestimate the extent to which these early Greek philosophies of nature can be described as ‘mechanistic’. We have underestimated how far they were committed to other modes of explanation and ontologies, and we have underestimated, underappreciated and indeed underexplored how plausible and good these philosophies would have been in context.

Preposterous Virgil

Reading through Stoppard, Auden, Wordsworth, Heaney Juan Christian Pellicer, University of Oslo, Norway Through four case studies, bookended by wideranging introductory and concluding chapters, this book shows how interpreting the Eclogues, Georgics and Aeneid through modern responses can serve to focus on aspects of Virgil that would otherwise be differently perceived or else escape notice altogether. Juan Christian Pellicer probes our perceptions of the three Virgilian genres (pastoral, georgic, and epic) and analyzes the ways in which modern reconfigurations of these genres can inform our readings of Virgil’s works, as well as help us realize how our own ideas about Virgil reflect the literary receptions through which we approach his texts.

Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception Kinaesthesia and Classical Antiquity 1750–1820 Moved by Stone

Geography, Empire, and the Georgics Charlie Kerrigan, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

In the late 18th century, the reception of classical antiquity had been transformed by interactions with material culture such as ruins, sculpture, and artefacts. This book shows how ideas about classical antiquity in the volatile milieu of the late 18th century developed as a result of diverse kinaesthetic relationships.

Virgil’s Map combines a detailed survey of the literary, economic and political geography of the Georgics with a case study of its British imperial reception 1850-1930. Virgil’s Georgics depicts the world and its peoples in great detail, but this geographical interest has received little scholarly attention. Hundreds of years later, readers in the British empire used the poem to reflect upon their travels in acts of imagination no less political than Virgil’s own. Drawing attention to the depoliticization of the poem in scholarly discourse, and using newly discovered archival material, this interdisciplinary work re-politicizes both the poem and its history in service of an emancipatory pedagogy.
