WAARDENBURG, E.C., De verwerking van het leed bij Euripides. Hakkert, Amsterdam, 1966. 256p. Theses. Sewn. Diss.Universiteit van Amsterdam.'Het boek bestaat uit twee delen: I. 'De achtergrond van de problemetiek'; hierin wordt de relatie lijden - inzicht bij de drie tragici besproken (...), II. 'Onderzoekingen aan de hand van acht tragedies' (...). Na (...) heldere weergave en vergelijking van de drie tragici behandelt schrijfster dan in deel II de acht (...) tragedies, na bestudering waarvan ik, onder de indruk gekomen van de scherpzinnige analyse en het bezonken oordeel, mij gaarne houd aan het adagium: Men critisere niet, tenzij men zelf verbeteren kan. Allen, die de griekse tragedie behandelen, zullen dit werk niet ongelezen mogen laten.' (R. ten KATE). € 14.50 (Antiquarian)

WAARDENBURG, E.C., De verwerking van het leed bij Euripides. Hakkert, Amsterdam, 1966. 256p. Theses. Sewn. Edges a bit yellowed. Diss.Universiteit van Amsterdam. '‘To sum up: many of the conclusions reached in this book are qualified by an approach that is at once subjective and too impressionistic in its use of contemporary ways of thinking. A critical reader, however, will be able to learn much from this sympathetic guide on an interesting, self-imposed Odyssey.’ (J. VAN LEEUWEN in Mnemosyne, 1970, p.201). “U spreekts als meaning uit, dat de critiek van Solmsen of Dörrie’s article ‘Leid und Erfahrung’ ook op mijn studie van toe passing zou zijn, nl. het vaststellen of er wel criteria bestaan, voor niet meer dan een uitleg vatbaar, voor het vaststellen van het manthanein, en of dit manthanein zo uitgesproken in verband met het undergane liijden moet worden gezien. Op pay. 45 en 46 ga ik echter in op althans mijn bevindingen met dit manthanein, waarbij ik ruimte laat voor een grote scala van betekenissen en vormen van zich-voordoen. Bij de tragedie-besprekingen, bijv. pag. 93,121,140,178, komt deze verscheidenheid, grenzend soms zelfs aan een ‘zelfstandig’ manthanein zoals in het geval van Hippolytus, m.i. duidelijk genoeg naar voren. (…) Tenslotte ben ik het tot mijn spijt geheel oneens met de opvatting dat Euripides in de eerste plaats geschreven zou hebben ‘as a creator of dramatic situations on the stage.’ Hij had wel degelijk wat te zeggen ook. Met al deze opmerkingen hoop ik enigszins mijn critiek op Uw critiek te hebben kunnen weergeven. Ik dank U voor de uitnodiging daartoe, en hoop bij gelegenheid nog eens nader van U te mogen vernemen.’ (E.C. WAARDENBURG in her personal letter to J. van Leeuwen).

WACE, A.J.B., and F.H. STUBBINGS, (eds.), A Companion to Homer. Macmillan, London, 1970. Reprint 1st ed.1962. XXIX,595p. ills. Cloth wrps. Nice copy.'This volume falls into two parts, literary and then archaeological. An introductory chapter by the late J.A.K. Thomson on Homer and his influence is Victorian in its literary approach but useful for its brief survey of Homeric echoes in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. There follow three chapters by Sir Maurice Bowra: two short ones on metre and style, and a long one on composition. (...) 'Composition' takes a broad look at the plot and construction of both poems, and is one of the most interesting chapters of the whole volume. (...) The next chapter, on the language of Homer, is by L.R. Palmer, and is a short book in itself. (...) Intended as a Homeric supplement to an Attic grammar, it goes somewhat farther than that, perhaps to the detriment of clarity. (...) The second main part opens with a geographical survey by N.G.L. Hammond - a thorough piece of work which goes well beyond the immediate reference of Homer. Helen Thomas and the editor (Stubbings) follow with a chapter on Homeric lands and peoples which I found clear and useful, except perhaps in its treatment of the antiquity of the Catalogue of Ships itself (...). The pages on the rediscovery of the Homeric world (...) are among the most useful in the book, especially in the surveys of Troy, Mycenae, Ithaca, and Pylos. (...) The chapters on social culture are less satisfactory. (...) Most of us can learn from the new venture. If it omits much that some would expect to find, it also contains much that will be of value to all.' (G.S. KIRK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, pp.133-36). € 57.50 (Antiquarian)
