Theatre World
This collection of essays, published in honour of Professor Georgia Xanthakis-Karamanos, addresses topics which lie at the forefront of current research on the fields of Greek drama and classical reception studies. It brings together internationally distinguished scholars who provide fresh insights into issues pertaining to the origins of Greek tragedy and comedy, their generic identity, the structure, the morality or the divine and human characters emerging from individual plays, the presence of Greek drama outside Athens in post-classical times, the associations between drama and genres such as epic and oratory or even the reception of Greek drama in operatic works such as Wagner’s Trist...
The Oxford Handbook of Dionysius the Areopagite
This Handbook contains forty essays by an international team of experts on the antecedents, the content, and the reception of the Dionysian corpus, a body of writings falsely ascribed to Dionysius the Areopagite, a convert of St Paul, but actually written about 500 AD. The first section contains discussions of the genesis of the corpus, its Christian antecedents, and its Neoplatonic influences. In the second section, studies on the Syriac reception, the relation of the Syriac to the original Greek, and the editing of the Greek by John of Scythopolis are followed by contributions on the use of the corpus in such Byzantine authors as Maximus the Confessor, John of Damascus, Theodore the Studit...
Homer from Z to A
This study shows that Zenodotus (first half of the 3rd century BCE) knew a more archaic form of the Homeric text than the one we now know, bringing to light important new elements for both Greek historical linguistics and Homeric studies.

Shaman and Sage
The first volume of Michael Horton’s magisterial intellectual history of “spiritual but not religious” as a phenomenon in Western culture Discussions of the rapidly increasing number of people identifying as “spiritual but not religious” tend to focus on the past century. But the SBNR phenomenon and the values that underlie it may be older than Christianity itself. Michael Horton reveals that the hallmarks of modern spirituality—autonomy, individualism, utopianism, and more—have their foundations in Greek philosophical religion. Horton makes the case that the development of the shaman figure in the Axial Age—particularly its iteration among Orphists—represented a “divine ...

Die frühe Sophoklesrezeption in der griechischen Literatur
Die Arbeit macht zum ersten Mal die ganze Breite der frühen Sophoklesrezeption fassbar: Ein großes Spektrum an Gattungen und Autoren bezieht sich bereits zu seinen Lebzeiten, aber auch im weiteren Verlauf der Antike auf diesen athenischen Tragödiendichter. Andere Texte setzen sich mit Sophokles' Person und mit seinem Werk auf vielfältige Weise auseinander, und in Sophokles' früher Rezeptionsphase werden auch eine große Anzahl seiner Dramen über die sieben später kanonischen Tragödien hinaus aufgegriffen und geschätzt. Das umfangreiche Corpus der erhaltenen Sophoklesrezeptionen analysiert die Arbeit eingehend und deutet sie anhand einschlägiger Beispiele vor allem aus dem 5. und 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. aus. Darüber hinaus zeigt Hannah Brandenburg, dass viele bis heute weit verbreitete Ansichten über Sophokles und seine Stücke schon von seinen Zeitgenossen geprägt wurden und sich in den folgenden Jahrhunderten verfestigten, darunter auch die Vorstellung, Sophokles sei der beste Tragödiendichter.
