The Lyric Metres of Euripidean Drama

Classica Digitalia/CECH 2011 (p. 451).

Printed copy: 40 € [hard cover]

Short presentation: This book is the first complete survey to appear in print in more than a hundred years and the first ever to be published in English (or any modern language, for that matter) of Euripides’ metrical practice in the songs of all his extant plays and longer lyric fragments. Otto Schroeder’s Euripidis Cantica (Leipzig, 1910) was long overdue for an update, not least because Euripidean (and indeed metrical) studies have changed beyond all recognition since 1910. All interpretations and scansions of Euripides’ lyrics offered in this book are based on James Diggle’s Oxford Classical Text.

Virtues for the People: Aspects of Plutarchan Ethics

Plutarchea Hypomnemata 4 2011 (p. 384)

ISBN: 978 90 5867 858 4

Hardback: € 64,95

Plutarch of Chaeronea believed in the necessity for a philosopher to affect the lives of his fellow citizens. That urge inspired many of his writings to meet what he considered people's true needs. Although these writings on practical ethics illustrate in various ways Plutarch's authorial talents and raise many challenging questions (regarding their overall structure, content, purpose, and underlying philosophical and social presuppositions), they have attracted only limited scholarly attention.

Virtues for the People contains a collection of essays that deal with these questions from different perspectives and as such throw a new light upon this multifaceted domain of Plutarch's thinking and writing.

The Philosopher's Banquet: Plutarch's Table Talk in the Intellectual Culture of the Roman Empire

Oxford University Press 2011

The Philosopher's Banquet is the first sustained study of Plutarch's Table Talk, a Greek prose text which is a combination of philosophical dialogue (in the style of Plato's Symposium) and miscellany. The form of Table Talkwas imitated by several later Greek and Roman imperial authors (such as Aulus Gellius, Athenaeus, and Macrobius), making it a vital part of the early Roman Empire's literary and cultural history. Similarly, the great variety of its contents links it with a broader imperial cultural trend, that of systematizing knowledge, which features increasingly prominently as a subject of scholarly study in both classics and the history of science. The contributors to The Philosopher's Banquet offer a range of methodologically innovative and sophisticated readings of Table Talk's literary form, themes, cultural background, and influence.

Plutarch’s Lives: Parallelism and Purpose

Classical Press of Wales, 2010

Plutarch’s Parallel Lives compare famous Greeks and Romans. This is the most obvious aspect of their parallelism, though it is frequently ignored in the search to mine Plutarch for historical fact. The eleven contributors to this volume, however, bring out many other ways in which Plutarch invoked aspects of parallelism. They show how all pervasive and how central the whole notion was to his thinking. From new thoughts about the nature of the synkriseis, to the discussion of parallels within and across the Lives and with essays from the Moralia, to an examination of why
the basic parallel structure of the Lives lost its importance in the Renaissance, this volume presents fresh ideas on a topic more central than we might have thought to Plutarch’s literary creation.

Plutarch’s Life of Alcibiades: Story, Text and Moralism

Leuven University Press 2010 (p. 499)

- ISBN 978 90 5867 760 0

Hardback Price: € 69,50

At the beginning of the second century AD, Plutarch of Chaeronea wrote a series of pairs of biographies of Greek and Roman statesmen. Their purpose is moral: the reader is invited to reflect on important ethical issues and to use the example of these great men from the past to improve his or her own conduct. This book offers the first full-scale commentary on the Life of Alcibiades. It examines how Plutarch’s biography of one of classical Athens’ most controversial politicians functions within the moral programme of the Parallel Lives. Built upon the narratological distinction between story and text, Verdegem’s analysis, which involves detailed comparisons with other Plutarchan works (esp. the Lives of Nicias and Lysander) and several key texts in the Alcibiades tradition (e.g., Plato, Thucydides, Xenophon), demonstrates how Plutarch carefully constructed his story and used a wide range of narrative techniques to create a complex Life that raises interesting questions about the relation between private morality and the common good.
