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). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Apollo has been labeled the most "Greek" of the Greek gods. His handsome, beardless face and youthful, athletic torso have been associated with the male figures idealized by the ancient Greeks, and his association with the Muses allowed Roman, Renaissance, and Baroque artists to call on him for poetic inspiration. Yet because he was associated with so many elementsas god of the sun, of music, of medicine, of prophecy, of archery, and of flocks of sheep as well as of their adversaries, wolvesApollo's essence and origins have been difficult to uncover. -- This volume gathers diverse views of Apollo's origins and his far-reaching influences. It provides a fresh, multifaceted portrait of Apollo through essays that explore such topics as the etymology of his name, his association with religious cults and sacred groves, his appearances in Greco-Roman literature, and his iconography in the visual arts. Also included are bibliographies of ancient and modern sources. -- CONTENTS -- Introduction -- Jon Solomon -- The Essence of Apollo -- The Name of Apollo: Etymology and Essence -- Gregory Nagy -- Sacred Groves and the Nature of Apollo -- Darice Birge -- Apollo in Early Greek Poetry -- Tendenz and Olympian Propaganda in the Homeric -- Hymn to Apollo -- Jenny Strauss Clay -- Apollo and the Lyre Jon Solomon -- Expressions of Apolline Imagery -- Olbia and Apollo of Didyma: A New Oracle Text -- Walter Burkert -- The Terrible Twins in Sixth-Century Attic Art -- T.
