Posthoméricas
Las Posthoméricas narran los últimos días de la guerra de Troya.

Posthoméricas
Posthoméricas es un poema épico que llena una laguna en el ciclo troyano de Homero: lo sucedido entre los hechos de la Ilíada y la Odisea. Quinto de Esmirna, autor del que aparte de su ciudad de nacimiento se tienen muy pocos datos , y no del todo fiables, compuso en griego hacia los siglos III o IV de nuestra era las Posthoméricas, poema en catorce libros de versos hexamétricos con que deseaba proseguir el ciclo épico troyano allí donde lo dejó Homero; concretamente, llena la laguna de lo ocurrido entre el fin de la Ilíada y el comienzo de la Odisea, desde la muerte de Héctor hasta la caída de la ciudad. La obra pone de manifiesto un gran conocimiento del mundo antiguo y del estilo homérico, con uso de multitud de sus fórmulas. Se trata de una reelaboración erudita de una materia que había dejado de ser cultura viva para convertirse en literatura, y Quinto demuestra ser un experto conocedor de ésta.
A Commentary on Quintus of Smyrna, Posthomerica V
The Posthomerica of Quintus of Smyrna is the only surviving Greek epic that gives a full narrative of the Trojan War between the Iliad and the Odyssey. Book V covers the contest between Ajax and Odysseus over the armour of Achilles, leading to Ajax' madness, suicide and funeral. The book gives balanced treatment to matters of text, language, literary qualities and sources. An introduction discusses the poem's main features. The commentary is punctuated by introductions to sections. There are indexes of subjects, ancient and mediaeval literature and Greek words. The work's major areas of interest are: influence of the Homeric epics, Quintus' use of later sources, the Trojan War in Greek and Latin literature, and Greek cultural history under the Roman Empire. This is the first full-length commentary on the book.
Quintus Smyrnaeus: Transforming Homer in Second Sophistic Epic
The “Events after Homer”, described by Quintus Smyrnaeus in the third century AD in his Greek epic Posthomerica, are an attempt to bridge the gap between the Iliad and the Odyssey , and to combine the various scattered reports of the battle for Troy into a single tale: the fate of Achilles, Ajax, Paris and the Amazon Penthesileia, the intervention of Neoptolemos and the story from the Trojan horse to the destruction of the city. The volume presented here summarizes the results of the first international conference on Quintus Smyrnaeus.
Quintus of Smyrna’s Posthomerica
Quintus of Smyrna’s Posthomerica (3rd century C.E.) is of great literary value to the field of Greek epic. It is a stylistic imitation of Homer and recounts what Iliad and Odyssey have left untold of the Trojan War. Tine Scheijnen offers the first linear study of this still little-known poem. Progressing from book 1 to 14, she focusses on key issues such as Homeric similes and characterization of heroes (especially Achilles and his son Neoptolemus). Ideologically, Quintus engages in a critical way with Homer, but possibly also Vergil, Triphiodorus and tragedy. Scheijnen’s work can be read as a thorough introduction to Quintus’ Posthomerica, while also offering new insights into Homer reception, the conception of heroes and heroism in Greek epic.
A Commentary on Quintus of Smyrna, Posthomerica 13
The Posthomerica by Quintus of Smyrna, a Greek epic in fourteen books from the 3rd century AD, recounts the story of the Trojan War by covering the events between Hector?s burial and the departure of the Greeks after the destruction of the city. In book 13, we read about the sack of Troy, including famous episodes such as the death of Priam and Astyanax, the enslavement of Andromache, the escape of Aeneas, and the rape of Cassandra.0Stephan Renker offers the first full-scale commentary on Posthomerica 13. He introduces each episode with a discussion of the relevant literary tradition and Quintus' potential models. The following line-by-line commentary yields insights into aspects of language, literary technique, realia, and the main issues of interpretation. Thus, the reader is provided with an important tool for further investigations into this fascinating, yet understudied piece of Imperial Greek poetry.
