The Moon in the Greek and Roman Imagination

Hybrid environments for universities
This publication is the result of an international and interdisciplinary expert meeting at Technische Universität Berlin, in March 2020. The aim of the expert meeting was to collaboratively write and publish a book, within five days, on the central question: Which organizational structures and processes at universities support a strategic as well as innovative campus development? As experts with an interdisciplinary background including the social sciences, public real estate, urban planning, architecture and landscape architecture, we could examine the question from a holistic perspective and gain new insights. The resulting manifesto states necessary steps and strategies to create innovative and sustainable hybrid environments for universities. It addresses all decision makers – executives, practitioners and contributors alike – as all of us face the challenge of limited resources and needing to do more with less.
Re-Wiring The Ancient Novel, 2 Volume set
The Fifth International Conference on the Ancient Novel, which was held in Houston, Texas, in the fall of 2015, brought together scholars and students of the ancient novel from all over the world in order to share new and significant developments about this fascinating field of study and its important place in the field of Classical Studies. The essays contained in these two volumes are clear evidence that the ancient novel has become a valuable part of the Classics canon and its scholarly attempts to understand the ancient Graeco-Roman world.
Xenophon’s Ephesiaca
After many decades of neglect, the last forty years have seen a renewed scholarly appreciation of the literary value of the Greek novel. Within this renaissance of interest, four monographs have been published to date which focus on individual novels; I refer to the specialist studies of Achilles Tatius by Morales and Laplace and those of Chariton of Aphrodisias by Smith and Tilg. This book adds to this short list and takes as its singular focus Xenophon's Ephesiaca. Among the five fully extant Greek novels, the Ephesiaca occupies the position of being an anomaly, since scholars have conventionally considered it to be either a poorly written text or an epitome of a more sophisticated lost or...
Reading Fiction with Lucian
A captivating new interpretation of Lucian as a fictional theorist and writer to stand alongside the novelists of the day.
The Oxford Handbook of Demosthenes
As a speechwriter, orator, and politician, Demosthenes captured, embodied, and shaped his time. He was a key player in Athens in the twilight of the city's independence, and is today a primary source for its history and society during that period. The Oxford Handbook of Demosthenes sets out to explore the many facets of his life, work, and time, giving particular weight to elucidating the settings and contexts of his activities, as well as some of the key themes dealt with in his speeches, and thereby illustrating the interplay and mutual influence between his rhetoric and the environment from which it emerged. The volume's thirty-five chapters are authored by experts in the field and offer ...
Latin Poetry in the Ancient Greek Novels
"This work establishes and explores connections between Greek imperial literature and Latin poetry. As such, it challenges conventional thinking about literary and cultural interaction of the period, which assumes that imperial Greeks are not much interested in Roman cultural products (especially literature). Instead, it argues that Latin poetry is a crucially important frame of reference for Greek imperial literature. This has significant ramifications, bearing on the question of bilingual allusion and intertextuality, as well as on that of cultural interaction during the imperial period more generally. The argument mobilizes the Greek novels-a literary form that flourished under the Roman ...
Antonius Diogenes, "Die unglaublichen Dinge jenseits von Thule"
Eine Reise zum Mond, Zauberei, Liebesgeschichten, Bücherfunde und Pythagoras – Die unglaublichen Dinge jenseits von Thule des Antonius Diogenes fordern den Leser durch eine Kombination verschiedenster Themen und Gattungstraditionen heraus. Die moderne Gesamtinterpretation wird jedoch dadurch anspruchsvoll, dass der kaiserzeitliche Text nicht in mittelalterlichen Handschriften überliefert ist, sondern in Papyrusfragmenten, Zitaten, Zusammenfassungen und Paraphrasen. Nachdem seit der letzten Edition (Stephens/Winkler 1995) weitere Textzeugnisse hinzukamen, bietet die vorliegende Arbeit eine Neuedition und Übersetzung aller Testimonien und Fragmente auf dem Stand der Forschung. Erstmals erläutert ein ausführlicher Gesamtkommentar Überlieferung, Sprache, Stil und Handlung. Interpretative Kapitel bereiten die aktuelle Forschungsdebatte zu den wichtigsten Themenkomplexen auf (Bedeutung des Pythagoreismus, Narratologie, Leitmotive) und setzen den Text in Beziehung zu Hypotexten und zeitgenössischen Diskursen. Die vorliegende Arbeit macht den Text damit einem philologisch, aber auch literatur-, geistes- und religionsgeschichtlich interessierten Publikum zugänglich.

Personal stories of Polish rescuers and Jewish children include tragedies with no winners. Research on issues involved in the search for hidden Jewish children in the postwar period in Poland, raises questions such as: Why so many organizations? How did they operate?

Many moving personal stories of the children are interwoven in this book.
