TAPLIN, O. Comic Angels and Other Approaches to Greek Drama through Vase-Paintings. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1993. XII,129p. ills.(B&W photographs). Original blue gilt titled cloth with dust wrps. With review loosely inserted. Im Zentrum Taplins Untersuchung 'steht der Nachweis, daß die (...) Phlyakenvasen nicht etwa eine autochtone unteritalische Posse des 3.Jh. vor Chr. abbilden, sondern Szenen aus der attischen Komödie, die in der Magna Graecia ein exklusives Nachleben gefunden hätten (...) Auch so wird deutlich geworden sein, daß T. ein wichtiges Kapitel der griechischen Literatur- und Theatergeschichte umgeschrieben und zur Diskussion gestellt hat. Die These der 'Comic Angels', nämlich die Verknüpfung der sog. 'Phlykatenvasen' mit der attischen Komödie des 5. und 4. Jh., wird Bestand haben, auch wenn bei der Interpretationene einzelner Gefäße noch Fragen offen sind.' (EGERT PÖHLMANN in Gnomon, 1998, p.389-390). 'There is much to quibble with in this book, but anyone who is interested in the history of drama must feel grateful to Taplin for bringing his thesis to public attention in such an interesting format and with sufficient illustration that even those not normally interested in vase painting will feel the attraction of these fascinating vases.'

TARÁN, Sonya Lida, The Art of Variation the Hellenistic Epigram. Brill, Leiden, 1979. XII,183p. Cloth. With private summary from WGA loosely inserted. Nice copy.'It is a perceptive and persuasive monograph, partly because it starts from the correct premise that the literary epigrams of the Ptolemaic age cannot be fully understood without a proper appreciation of the techniques of allusion, imitation, and variation in alexandrian poetry. (...) Convincing in her detection of sources and relationships, judicious in her interpretations of some difficult Greek, and sensitive to the stylistic individuality of the authors, she combines traditional scholarship with literary insight.'
