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.

The papers included in this volume are organized in the following topical sections: mobile interaction and smart devices; social media; HCI in business and innovation; learning technologies; HCI in health; assistive technologies and environments; fitness and well-being applications; location and context awareness; urban interaction; automotive and aviation; design and user studies.
Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire
This volume investigates how versions of Trojan War narratives written in Greek in the first through fifth centuries C.E. created nostalgia for audiences. In ancient education, the Iliad and the Odyssey were used as models through which students learned Greek language and literature. This, combined with the ruling elite’s financial encouragement of re-creations of the Greek past, created a culture of nostalgia. This book explores the different responses to this climate, particularly in the case of the third-century C.E. poet Quintus of Smyrna’s epic Posthomerica. Positioning itself as a sequel to the Iliad and a prequel to the Odyssey, the Posthomerica is unique in its middle-of-the-road...
Kynegetika
Stephan Renker legt mit dieser zweisprachigen Ausgabe die erste vollständige deutsche Übersetzung der Kynegetika des Pseudo-Oppian seit über 250 Jahren vor. In dem vier Bücher und insgesamt circa 2200 Hexameterverse umfassenden Lehrgedicht aus dem frühen dritten Jahrhundert berichtet uns der Autor in unterhaltsamer Weise über verschiedene Aspekte der Jagd. So lesen wir von der Aufzucht von Jagdpferden und -hunden, den unterschiedlichen Arten pflanzen- und fleischfressender Tiere sowie von einfallsreichen Jagdmethoden. Die Ausgabe beinhaltet neben dem griechischen Text der maßgeblichen Ausgabe von Manolis Papathomopoulos eine moderne, zielsprachig orientierte und damit flüssig lesbare Übersetzung, eine ausführliche Hinführung zu Gattung, Autor und Werk sowie umfangreiche erläuternde Anmerkungen. Den Band beschließt eine reichhaltige Bibliographie. Damit erschließt Stephan Renker dieses faszinierende, von der Forschung bisher wenig beachtete Stück kaiserzeitlicher Epik nicht nur für das Fachpublikum, sondern für alle an antiker Literatur Interessierte.

Social Work in the Changing Welfare State
How can employment policies support young people entering the labour market? Alban Knecht analyses the changes in political discourses and social-political measures with regards to employment promotion for disadvantaged young people in Austria. Against the background of his resource theory, he discusses measures such as inter-company apprenticeships, youth guarantee, and compulsory training and illustrates the impact that the social investment paradigm as well as the capability-orientated, neoliberal, and right-wing populist approaches may have on the practical work of professionals and on the young people concerned.

Battle Lines
During the U.S. Civil War, a combination of innovative technologies and catastrophic events stimulated the development of news media into a central cultural force. Reacting to the dramatic increases in news reportage and circulation, poets responded to an urgent need to make their work immediately relevant to current events. As poetry's compressed forms traveled more quickly and easily than stories, novels, or essays through ephemeral print media, it moved alongside and engaged with news reports, often taking on the task of imagining the mental states of readers on receiving accounts from the war front. Newspaper and magazine poetry had long editorialized on political happenings—Indian war...
