Zustand: Sehr gut. Illustrated edition. 441 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimally scuffed dust jacket. Otherwise in very good condition. - Content: This collection of essays dedicated to Jasper Griffin aims to investigate the vibrancy of the classical epic tradition. The book as a whole considers the uses made by writers at widely different times and places of a single literary form to explore the authors place in literary and cultural history. Jasper Griffin retired as Fellow and Tutor of Balliol College and Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at Oxford University in autumn 2004. Six of the chapters (Chs. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11) were presented at a conference on 11 September that year to mark his retirement; all speakers at the conference, and all contributors to this volume, were pupils of Professor Griffin. A volume of essays by former pupils on Homer, Virgil, and their reception seemed a fitting tribute to a scholar distinguished for a teaching career spanning more than forty years and for numerous publications on Greek and Latin literature in which Homer and Virgil consistently occupied pride of place. The range of this volumewhose chronological limits are the eighth century bc and the nineteenth century of our era, encompassing literature written in ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, Old Irish, Italian, and modern Englishis intended as a tribute to Griffins own extraordinary range in teaching and research, while also catering to the interests and expertise of the contributors. The choice of chapter subjects and of contributors is hardly arbitrary, but it necessarily gives only a selective representation of the subject matter and (no less embarrassingly for the editors) only a selection of the professional classicists who have been pupils of Griffin. The volume offers sequential readings of several significant moments in the classical epic tradition. While the chapters can very well be read in isolation, they are meant to bear reading as a meaningful sequence. Unavoidably, significant moments in the tradition have not been included (the Latin historical epic of Ennius, Lucan, and Silius is a notable absence); but there are, we hope, compensatory gains. The book is, predictably enough, more and less than a history of a genre. The books tripartite structure will be evident at a glance. It considers epic interactions first within ancient Greek literature (Chs. 1-4); second, within Latin literature (Chs. 5-8); and last, in the vernacular literatures of medieval, renaissance, and modern Europe (Chs. 9-11). There are more detailed correspondences between the first and second parts, on epic interactions in the Greek and Roman worlds. The first chapters of each part (Chs. 1 and 5) consider how the foundational epics of Greece and Rome, those of Homer and Virgil respectively, interact with earlier epic tradition. The second chapters (2 and 6) consider the interaction of these foundational epics with a cultural phenomenon: Homer with Greek religion, and Virgil with the monuments of Augustan Rome. The third chapters (3 and 7) explore how non-epic literary genres interacted with the foundational epics: how Herodotus Histories interact with the Iliad and the Odyssey, and how Horatian lyric and Propertian and Ovidian elegy (and Ovidian epic) interact with the Aeneid. The fourth chapters (4 and 8) explore how epic poems once considered post-classical, Hellenistic and Silver Latin epic (especially Apollonius Argonautica and Statius Thebaid), interact with the foundational epics. Despite its great range, we see the bookand conceived it at the outsetas having a unified subject, conveyed for us in the concept of epic interactions. We have tried not to impose the theme heavy-handedly on the individual chapters, but to let it emerge from the contributors own treatments. A concluding Epilogue explores common ground and differences between the chapters, and consider.…
