商品簡介
The 11 essays are intended to further the convergence between literary and linguistic approaches to classical texts that has been in swing for the past two decades. Classicists mostly from the Netherlands offer views on such topics as Pythian 10 and Olympian 3 as examples of mythical chronology in the odes of Pindar, aspectual differences and narrative techniques in Xenophon's Hellenica and Agesilaus, and a pragmatic explanation for adjective ordering in Herodotus. Most of the Greek and Latin quotations are followed by English translation. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
