Softcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Spine sunned and a bit discolored. Faint shelfwear.; The ancient Greeks commonly resorted to magic spells to attract and keep lovers--as numerous allusions in Greek literature and recently discovered "voodoo dolls," magical papyri, gemstones, and curse tablets attest. Surveying and analyzing these various texts and artifacts, Christopher Faraone reveals that gender is the crucial factor in understanding love spells. There are, he argues, two distinct types of love magic: the curselike charms used primarily by men to torture unwilling women with fiery and maddening passion until they surrender sexually; and the binding spells and debilitating potions generally used by women to sedate angry or philandering husbands and make them more affectionate. Faraone's lucid analysis of these spells also yields a number of insights about the construction of gender in antiquity, for example, the "femininity" of socially inferior males and the "maleness" of autonomous prostitutes. Most significantly, his findings challenge the widespread modern view that all Greek men considered women to be naturally lascivious. Faraone reveals the existence of an alternate male understanding of the female as "naturally" moderate and chaste, who uses love magic to pacify and control the "naturally" angry and passionate male. This fascinating study of magical practices and their implications for perceptions of male and female sexuality offers an unusual look at ancient Greek religion and society.; 224 pages. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. Like New. 1. In this study of poetic form in early Greek elegy, Christopher A. Faraone argues against the prevailing assumption that it was a genre of stichic poetry derived from or dependent on epic verse. Faraone emphasizes the fact that early elegiac poets composed their songs to the tune of an aulos (a kind of oboe) and used a five-couplet stanza as a basic unit of composition. He points out how knowledge of the elegiac stanza can give us insight into how these poets alternated between stanzas of exhortation and meditation, used co-ordinated pairs of stanzas to construct lengthy arguments about excellence or proper human government, and created generic set pieces that they could deploy in longer compositions. Faraone's close analysis of nearly all the important elegiac fragments will greatly enhance understanding and appreciation of this poetic genre. Bright, clean copy in fine dj.…

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 209-245. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Cover slightly bumped, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a good and very clean copy. - From the text: Scholars have traditionally interpreted Hipponax fragment 128 (West) as an epic parody designed to belittle the grand pretensions and gluttonous habits of his enemy. I suggest, however, that this traditional reading ultimately falls short because of two unexamined assumptions: (1) that the meter and diction of the fragment are exclusively meant to recall epic narrative and not any other early hexametrical genre, and (2) that the descriptive epithets in lines 2 and 3 are the ad hoc comic creations of the poet and simply refer to the table manners of a glutton or a parasite. I argue instead that this fragment in several ways reflects the language, the meter and the performative goal of hexametrical chants or incantations designed to expel harmful famine demons or to escort human scapegoats from the city. I also suggest that the vivid and somewhat comic descriptions of the enemy in fragment 128 probably do not aim at his personal eating disorders, but rather they are drawn from two interrelated and generic features of archaic Greek thought: a tradition of describing famine-demons as insatiable eaters, and a popular theme in Greek invective which demonizes political enemies as rapacious pests who threaten to gobble up the commonwealth of the city and who therefore must be expelled from the community, precisely like a famine-demon. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.

In this brief study I survey a half-dozen of these elegiac lists and show that the early poets regularly use a five-couplet stanza to create a formal structure for their compositions. In some cases the catalogues appear to be set-pieces adaptable in the midst of performance to a number of different contexts. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: Early in the plot of Aristophanes Peace, the comic hero Trygaios watches helplessly as Polemos (War), the ogre who has imprisoned Peace in a cave, hauls a huge mortar on stage and calls for his henchman Kudoimos (Battle-Din) to bring him a pestle with which he will grind up and destroy mankind with battles and armed conflicts. As Polemos lists the various Greek cities that will be crushed in his mortar, Trygaios responds with a series of asides to the audience bemoaning the fate of Greece and joking about the recent battle at Amphipolis, at which the two firebrand generals, Cleon and Brasidas, were killed. In the midst of this sequence, Trygaios pleads with the audience to help prevent Kudoimos from returning with the pestle (276-279). - Wikipedia: Christopher A.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 115-135. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to Jeff [Henderson]. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: Toward the end of Sophocles Trachiniae the bewildered and guilt-ridden Hyllus defends his mothers use of the poisoned robe: Hyllus: Although her intentions were good, she botched the whole enterprise.- Heracles: Does she do good by killing your father? - Hyllus: Well, when she saw that marriage in her house, she was determined to cast a love-charm (stergêma) on you, but she failed utterly. (1136-39). Although Hyllus clearly exonerates his mother on the grounds of motive, Deianiras culpability has long been a sore point for commentators. In the past, most modern readers were inclined to see her as an idealsome would even say heroicwife, who destroys her husband by a tragic miscalculation. According to this traditional reading we must attribute her error either to simple foolishness or to her uncontrollable passiona passion which clouds her otherwise good judgment. In recent years, however, scholars have grown uneasy with this picture of Deianira. Some suggest that she is, in fact, a nervous, irresolute woman, who is unable to make even the smallest decision without the help of the Nurse or the Chorus. Others argue that Deianira originally appeared in Greek myth as a wild, man-killing Amazon and that Sophocles is guilty of a fifth-century whitewash of her charactera drastic and somewhat incomplete revision which inevitably results in inconsistencies in her motivation, as well as the survival of dissonant details in the plot, such as the poisoned robe and Deianiras method of suicide. Errandonea, the original proponent of this approach, went so far as to say that Deianira, caught in the grip of eros, purposely murders Heracles even in Sophocles version. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 150-154. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to Jeff [Henderson]. - Slightly rubbed and bumped, text clean. - From the text: When the Erinyes catch up with Orestes in Athens they find him clutching the archaic wooden statue of Athena and invoking her aid along with that of Apollo {Eum. 235 ff). The Erinyes scorn his prayers and bid him hear their binding song: ymnon d ákoúsi tónde désmion (306). Wecklein in his 1888 edition of the play remarked erinnert an magische Künste and quoted Laws 933 a, where Plato, discussing murder by poison, makes brief mention of the popular belief in sorcerers, incantations and binding spells (katadéseis). Subsequent commentators repeat Weckleins brief note nearly verbatim and then elaborate it along two different lines, either claiming some vague Orphic source (Thomson 1938) or citing Wuenschs Defixionum Tahellae Atticae (Blass 1907; Groeneboom 1952). More recently, Lebeck argued that the ostensible title (binding song) is incompatible with the actual content of the stasimon (Apollos encroachment on the Erinyes power); she concluded that the title is irrelevant or at best only of secondary importance. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to Jeff [Henderson]. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: One of the many important advances in Pindaric criticism in the last twenty-five years has been the growing appreciation of his peculiar use of first-person future verbs of singing, praising, or testifying, which all seem to refer to the present activity of performing the ode in which they appear.1 Thus, for example, when Pindar says nyn . . . keladisómetha (OI. 10.78-79), nyn . . . keladíso (OI. 11.11-14) or égó . épaskíso (Nem. 9.9-10), he is not promising to sing another poem at some future time, but rather he is talking about the poem he is in the process of performing. In recent years scholars have noted that this peculiar use of the future is not, in fact, limited to the epinician genre, but occurs regularly in parthéneia, paeans, other literary and cult hymns, and in choral passages of Attic tragedy that mimic or evoke special ritual songs like the thrinos, or the paean. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.

Described as "a mad bird pinned to a four-spoked wheel," this iunx has occasioned much discussion and confusion. It is usually argued or assumed that a sympathetic "spinning" motion lies at the heart of the magical operation, and that the victims of such a magical device are to be similarly whirled about until they are so utterly confused and disoriented that they yield to the demands of the practitioner. - Wikipedia: Christopher A.
