MEISNER, D.A., Orphic Traditions and the Birth of the Gods. Oxford University Press, 2018. 336p. Hardback with dust wrps. Meisner provides an important new study of these complex and fascinating texts. By approaching the Orphic theogonies as diverse products of bricolage, he helps to make sense of the bizarre elements, the complicated intertwinings of plots, and the contradictions in the fragmentary evidence. He is particularly sensitive to the need to understand the evidence from the Neoplatonists in its philosophical context, and he guides the reader surely and steadily through the often baffling intricacies of Neoplatonic theology.

MCDONALD, K., Oscan in Southern Italy and Sicily. Evaluating Language Contact in a Fragmentary Corpus. Cambridge University Press, 2018. 1st paperback ed. XIX,306p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. In pre-Roman Italy and Sicily, dozens of languages and writing systems competed and interacted, and bilingualism was the norm. Using frameworks from epigraphy, archaeology and the sociolinguistics of language contact, this book explores the relationship between Greek and Oscan, two of the most widely spoken languages in the south of the peninsula. Dr McDonald undertakes a new analysis of the entire corpus of South Oscan texts written in Lucania, Bruttium and Messana, including dedications, curse tablets, laws, funerary texts and graffiti. She demonstrates that genre and domain are critical to understanding where and when Greek was used within Oscan-speaking communities, and how ancient bilinguals exploited the social meaning of their languages in their writing. This book also offers a cutting-edge example of how to build the fullest possible picture of bilingualism in fragmentary languages across the ancient world. (Publisher's information). € 29.50 (New)
