Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Menander set Perikeiromene, or the Woman with shorn head in Corinth, famous for its beautiful women, at a time when the city's troubles were at their height owing to the Macedonian conquest of Greece. The story reflects in miniature some of the turbulence of the times. A mercenary soldier Polemon returns home from service to discover, as he thinks, that his girl, Glykera, has found another lover. In a fit of jealous rage he shears off her hair and goes off to drown his sorrows with companions. Glykera promptly moves out from Polemon's house to the neighbour's house, in which her purported new lover Moschion lives. But all is not as it seems.Typically for the genre of New Comedy, Menander takes his characters to the brink in this lively drama before the recognitions which set everything straight. Discoveries of fragmented manuscripts of this play in the twentieth century have more or less brought it back to life.

Gr.-8°, Brosch. XXII, 411 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Die Autoren geben ihren Lesern ein möglichst vollständiges Bild der antiken griechischen religiösen Hymnen, die entweder bei religiösen Zeremonien gesungen wurden oder in literarischen Kontexten vorkamen, die solche Zeremonien nachahmten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Ausgabe der griechischen Texte, die aus den Ausgrabungsstätten von u.a. Delphi, Epidauros und Athen vom 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. an hervorgegangen sind als auch auf denjenigen, die durch die Manuskripttradition oder auf Papyrus überliefert wurden. Das Material wurde in zwei Bände aufgeteilt. Der erste Band bietet eine Einführung, Übersetzungen und allgemeine Einführungen zu den einzelnen Texten (alle griechischen Zitate werden in diesem Band übersetzt) für den Leser ohne Griechischkenntnisse.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Menander's Misoumenos, or 'The Hated Man', is one of his most popular plays to have survived from classical times, to judge from the numerous recovered papyrus fragments. Dating to approximately 300 BCE, it tells the story of a mercenary soldier and the captive girl he acquires whilst on campaign in Cyprus. The play follows the soldier's growing despair as the girl spurns his advances and slowly turns against him, culminating in his suicidal thoughts.The play belongs to the ancient genre of New Comedy, of which Menander was the acknowledged master. This edition is the fullest to date of any English language edition of the play. It aims to restore as much as possible of the action of Misoumenos, reconstructing language, stagecraft and theatrical dialogue of the original, but always distinguishing what we can be relatively sure of, from hypothesis and reconstruction. Some sections can be restored nearly fully, permitting access to brilliantly original theatrical dialogue which had been lost for over two millennia. Apart from metre and sophisticated idiom, the themes of love, despair and sadness that Menander treats are utterly timeless. This edition aims to present a significantly updated text.…
