KIRK, G.S., Homer and the Epic. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1965. X,243p. ills. Paperback. With signature from Prof. W.G. Arnott on free endpaper.A shortened version of 'The Songs of Homer'. 'I have nothing but admiration for the clarity of Mr Kirk's exposition and the tact with which he avoids the chatter of popularization on the one hand and the jargon of technical scholarship on the other. He is that rarest of birds in contemporary classical studies: a good teacher … It is something of an accomplishment to combine archaeological exposition, linguistics, literary criticism and aesthetics in an extended, vivid, speculative argumentation. It is superb teaching.' (DUDLEY FITTS). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 18.50 (Antiquarian)

KOKOLAKIS, M., The Dramatic Simile of Life. Private presses (Ph. Boukouri), Athens, 1960. 95p. Sewn. Some pen on front cover. (Rare).'The present paper has developed as a counterfoil to an earlier, yet unpublished, study of Lucian as a source of technical information on the theatre of his period. Indeed, in the course of the examination of relevant passages in that sophist and his contemporaries, the writer grew more and more curious to find to what extent Lucian's indulgence in similes and metaphors drawn from the theatre was the result of a direct contact with stage people, as argued by Householder, or due to an adherance to exablished literary conventions. He then concluded that, whereas scenic figures probably came to Lucian by way of the rhetorical schools, popular philosophers and earlier writers, Lucian's own tastes as well as his individual technique are maily responible for his extensive use of the figures. But, at the same time, many of his comparisons, whatever their ultimate sponsorship, probably took shape and were brought up-to-date to meet current stage practices.'

(Rare).In New Greek. 'Although it does not say on the cover, this work is identical with an article published by the author in Athina, 1962. (? But on the front cover of this copy this is clearly stated). Most of it deals with frags. 416 and 417 Koerte. I am not convinced by his arguments for the unity of the former (...). But there is much to be said for his opinion that in frag. 416 'kataluseis' has no reference to inns, but merely means 'make an end, die'. (...) On frags. 417 and 420 he effectively opposes attempts to see references to Stoicism, and in his final section he brings a judicious scepticism to bear on speculative reconstruction of the plot.'

KOVACS, D., The Heroic Muse. Studies in the Hippolytus and Hecuba of Euripides. The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore / London, 1987. XIII,161p. Hardbound. Signature on free endpaper. Nice copy.'There is much in his analyses of the plays, that betrays a sensitivity to detail and nuance and thus makes stimulating reading. (...) To Kovacs Euripides is not the idiosyncratic sophist but a playwright who operates within the traditions of the genre, a producer of dramas consistent within themselves, not one concerned to protray weird states of mind. Inevitably there are aspects of the author's analysis that inspire disagreement - by his own words he expects as much - but there is much also that is thought-provoking and provides new insights that should not be missed.'
