The  earlier volume gave a commented conspectus of the fragments, and  essays on the individual historians. In vol. II the texts  themselves are printed, with English translations and  historiographical notes. Included also is a correlation of  Blockley's order with the older numbering of Mueller, Dindorf and  Niebuhr, and indices of names, places, quotations and citations.  This work, with the earlier monograph, has become a standard for  the increasingly important study of the later Roman Empire.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49732500324625,"sku":"NGR9780905205496","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51538662916369,"sku":"GOR011412604","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0905205499.jpg?v=1751139791"},{"product_id":"papers-of-the-langford-latin-seminar-volume-16-2016-book-francis-cairns-9780905205595","title":"Papers of the Langford Latin Seminar, Volume 16, 2016","description":"PLS 16 contains papers mainly arising from several Langford Colloquia held by the Department of Classics, Florida State University.

Fourteen of  Bacchylides' epinician odes survive wholly or in part. The five  included in this volume are those that have come down to us in  fullest form; they are of great importance for the study of epinician poetry in particular and of early fifth-century lyric  in general.  In his Introductory Essays and Commentary D. L. Cairns explicates  the social, ethical, cultural, and artistic features of Bacchylidean epinician within the contexts in which it is so  deeply embedded. The volume will be of interest to advanced  students and scholars with a good knowledge of the Greek  language. It is also designed to be usable by students with  little or no Greek. The commentary is keyed to the translation as  well as to the Greek text, and the emphasis throughout is more on  contextual and literary interpretation than on purely technical  aspects of language and metre.  D. L. Cairns is Professor of Classics in the University of  Edinburgh. He is the author of Aidos: The Psychology and Ethics of Honour and Shame in Ancient Greek Literature  (Oxford 1993) and of numerous papers on early Greek literature and culture, and he  is the editor or joint editor of five volumes of collected essays  including  Oxford Readings in Homer's Iliad  (2002). J. G. Howie has written ground-breaking papers on early Greek poetry, is the translator of D. Fehling's  Herodotus and his 'Sources'  ( Die Quellungangaben bei Herodot ), and is currently working on a translation of E. Krummen's important work on Pindar,  Pyrsos Hymnon  (1990).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52452316119313,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52452316381457,"sku":"NGR9780905205526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780905205526.jpg?v=1759364342"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/arca-classical-and-medieval-texts-papers-and-monographs-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
