ROMANO, Cecilia, Responsioni libere nei canti di Aristofane. Edizioni dell'Ateneo, Roma, 1992. 144p. Soft cover. Front cover slightly creased. Series: Studi di Metrica Classica, 8.'Metre has long occupied an important and honourable position within Italian scholarship, and Romano continues the tradition of her one-time mentors Bruno Gentili and Franca Persuino with a useful volume on free responsion in the lyrics of Aristophanes. (...) R.'s aim is to investigate the responsion between strophe and antistrophe, which ancient writers on metre postulate should be exact. The reality of Aristophanes' plays on the other hand shows numerous instances of what is at times a radical departure from this theoretical norm, and R. Questions whether such breaches should be interpreted as the result of the playwright's deliberate intention, or whether they stem simply from corruption in the manuscript tradition, as suggested by Paul Maas. (...) What R. does achieve is to go beyond recognition to an analysis of actual function.' (S. IRELAND in The Classical Review (New Series), 1993, p.420).

EYBEN, E., Restless Youth in Ancient Rome. Translated from the original Dutch by P. Daly. Routledge, London / New York, 1993. VIII,367p. Original black cloth with dust wrps. Nice copy. ‘E. attempts an extraordinarily ambitious task: ‘to present a synoptic representation of the youth of Roman antiquity... and to discern the various ways in which the world of the young was transformed and changed, in which youth itself put its stamp on its environment.’ His geographical and chronological parameters are equally wide and ambitious (…). It is clear from the beginning that this is valuable as a work of overview, utilizing an impressive range of mostly literary sources. E.’s collection of source material is, in many ways, the most significant contribution of the book; future scholars working on the subject will find his extensive index locorum (343-55) and bibliography most useful starting-points. (…) At the same time, however, this work is also something of an opportunity missed. E. could have done considerably more with his material.’ (DOMINIC MONTSERRAT in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1995, p.259). From the library of the late Prof. Dr. Tony Reekmans. € 79.50 (Antiquarian)

KINDT, Julia, Rethinking Greek Religion. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2012. XIII, 235p. Paperback. Who marched in religious processions and why? How were blood sacrifice and communal feasting related to identities in the ancient Greek city? With questions such as these, current scholarship aims to demonstrate the ways in which religion maps on to the socio-political structures of the Greek polis ('polis religion'). In this book Dr Kindt explores a more comprehensive conception of ancient Greek religion beyond this traditional paradigm. Comparative in method and outlook, the book invites its readers to embark on an interdisciplinary journey touching upon such diverse topics as religious belief, personal religion, magic and theology. Specific examples include the transformation of tyrant property into ritual objects, the cultural practice of setting up dedications at Olympia, and a man attempting to make love to Praxiteles' famous statue of Aphrodite. The book will be valuable for all students and scholars seeking to understand the complex phenomenon of ancient Greek religion. (Publisher's information). € 37.00 (Antiquarian)
