KRÖLL Nicole (Ed.)

Myth, Religion, Tradition and Narrative in Late Antique Greek Poetry

The volume shows the manifold themes of Greek poetry in Late Antiquity. Pagan and Christian concepts merge in the works of Nonnus of Panopolis and in the “Ekphrasis” of John of Gaza, the poems of George of Pisidia are read against the background of late antique philosophy and the autobiographies of Gregory of Nazianzus as literary forms of expression. The ekphrastic narrative techniques of Quintus Smyrnaeus and the composition of characters in Colluthus are analyzed, and Lycophron is proved as...

WOYTEK Erich

Die Ciris im Kontext der augusteischen Dichtung

This study aims at solving a problem that has been puzzling generations of philologists up to the present day. After nearly a century of emotional debate one of its protagonists could not but declare “the Cirisfrage … still of course wide open” (R.O.A.M. Lyne 1978). The dates suggested for the neoteric epyllion about Scylla’s fatal passion for Minos range from the mid-first century B.C. to the third century A.D., scholars agreeing nowadays almost (!) universally only that this part of the...

Der römische Alexanderhistoriker Curtius Rufus

Erzähltechnik, Rehtorik, Figurenpsychologie und Rezeption

The present volume comprises seventeen papers delivered in April 2014 at a conference in Vienna, which was, as far as is known, the first colloquium to be dedicated to Curtius Rufus, while it was not focused upon the more or less reliable historian of Alexander, but on the master of Roman prose, who has been underestimated since the 19th century. Since several papers extended their focus past the aspects of narratology, the rhetoric and psychology of figures to the history of the reception of...

Demosthenica libris manu scriptis tradita

Studien zur Textüberlieferung des Corpus Demosthenicum. Internationales Symposium in Wien, 22.-24. September 2011

Metre and Rhythm in Greek Verse

Unlike most of the previous research, it makes a combined use of all the sources available: metrical data, prosodic analysis, ancient works on rhythm and metrics, ancient musical documents and comparison with later musical tradition as well as with other cultures....

STROBL Wolfgang

Karl der Große im italienischen Renaissance-Humanismus

Die Vita Caroli Magni des Hilarion aus Verona für Francesco Tedeschini-Piccolomini. Einleitung, Text, Übersetzung und Kommentar

Most probably in the late 1470s or early 1480s, the historically interested cardinal and patron Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1437/39–1503) requested the monk and humanist Hilarion of Verona (c.1444–c.1484) to revise an older Vita Caroli Magni with regard to its content and style, as the cardinal considered the text no longer in keeping with the times. Hilarion accepted the request and penned a new vita of the Carolingian ruler, relying heavily on the classical 9th-century vita of...

Platon, Plotin und Marsilio Ficino

Studien zu den Vorläufern und zur Rezeption des Florentiner Neuplatonismus

This volume is a collection of aspects of discussions on an astonishing abundance of scientific, medical, astrological and mythological subjects which are to be found in the writings of the Florentine philosopher, theologian and doctor Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499). The influence his work had on philosophers of the modern age can be explained by the versatility with which he discusses the entire corpus of philosophical literature of antiquity and the Middle Ages that preceded him, and by the...

Akzentrhythmen in der lateinischen Dichtung der augusteischen Zeit

The thesis of accentual rhythm, presented in this study for the first time, according to which normal word accents are responsible for the inner rhythmical structure of Latin poetry, opens a completely new path in metrical research by examining verses from a musicological point of view. Ancient testimony proves that word accent (according to modern linguistics which are not seriously challenged nowadays it was a stress accent) is fundamental to the Latin language, and that Latin poetry was...
