Am Beispiel von Goethes Gedichtubersetzung Nach dem Anakreon wird auf die ungenugende Wahrnehmung formaler Elemente der antiken Dichtkunst (rhythmische Feinstrukturen, Anklangsbildungen, Textgliederungen) in der Neuzeit hingewiesen. Die teilweise als Reaktion auf den Formalismus des Barockzeitalters erklarbare Entwicklung hat zur Abschaffung von Reim und Metrum in der modernen Dichtung gefuhrt und in der Philologie die Einschatzung formaler Elemente als unwesentliches, rein ausserliches Beiwerk...

Socrates wrote nothing; Plato's accounts of Socrates helped to establish western politics, ethics, and metaphysics. Both have played crucial and dramatically changing roles in western culture. In the last two centuries, the triumph of democracy has led many to side with the Athenians against a Socrates whom they were right to kill. Meanwhile, the Cold War gave us polar images of Plato as both a dangerous totalitarian and an escapist intellectual. This book is framed by accounts of modern respons...
Set at the end of the Trojan war, "Euripides' Trojan Women" depicts the women of Troy as they wait to be taken into slavery. While choral songs recall the death-throes of the great city, the scenes between the old queen, Hekabe, and the women of her family explore the consequences of the defeat, from the rape of Cassandra, through the triumphant self-exculpation of Helen, to the pitiful death of the child Astyanax, who is thrown from the walls of his ravaged city. Barbara Goff sets the play in i...

Menander's Courtesans and the Greek Comic Tradition (Studien zur Klassischen Philologie, v. 20)
by Madeleine Mary Henry
The Persians, Aeschylus' earliest surviving tragedy, holds a fascination both for readers of Greek drama and Greek history. Not only is it the earliest existing play in the Western tradition, it is drawn directly from the playwright's own experiences at the battle of Salamis, making it the only account of the Persian Wars composed by an eyewitness. And as pure tragedy, it is a masterpiece. Aeschylus tells the story of the war from the Persian point of view, and his pride in the great victory...
