  • Conversations of Socrates

    par Xenophon ...
    Traduit par Hugh Tredennick, Robin Waterfield ...
    After the execution of Socrates in 399 BC, a number of his followers wrote dialogues featuring him as the protagonist and, in so doing, transformed the great philosopher into a legendary figure. Xenophon's portrait is the only one other than Plato's to survive, and while it offers a very personal interpretation of Socratic thought, it also reveals much about the man and his philosophical views. In ... En savoir plus

    Power, Representation and Aesthetic Experience

    par Henry J. M. Day ...
    Collections series Cambridge Classical Studies
    This is the first comprehensive study of the sublime in Lucan. Drawing upon renewed literary-critical interest in the tradition of philosophical aesthetics, Henry Day argues that the category of the sublime offers a means of moving beyond readings of Lucan's Bellum Civile in terms of the poem's political commitment or, alternatively, nihilism. Demonstrating in dialogue with theorists from Burke ... En savoir plus

  • Tragic Pleasure from Homer to Plato

    par Rana Saadi Liebert ...

Socrates' claim that tragic poetry satisfies our 'hunger for tears' hearkens back to archaic conceptions of both poetry and mourning that suggest a common source of pleasure in ... En savoir plus

  • Simile and Identity in Ovid's Metamorphoses

    par Marie Louise von Glinski ...
    Nulli sua forma manebat. The world of Ovid's Metamorphoses is marked by constant flux in which nothing keeps its original form. This book argues that Ovid uses the epic simile to capture states of unresolved identity - in the transition between human, animal and divine identity, as well as in the poem's textual ambivalence between genres and the negotiation of fiction and reality. In conjuring up ... En savoir plus
