Virgilio
Este libro es una introducción, bien fundada y fácil de leer, a las Bucólicas, Geórgicas y Eneida de Virgilio. A fin de facilitar la orientación a través de la obra virgiliana, los tres poemas son analizados a partir de unas mismas cuestiones fundamentales: estructura, género y predecesores, técnica literaria, lengua y estilo, teoría literaria, pensamiento, transmisión e influencia (especialmente profunda en el caso de Virgilio, un clásico de Europa). Estudiantes, profesores y todos aquellos interesados en su figura encontrarán aquí una valiosa introducción a los principales problemas de la investigación actual, una amplia bibliografía que invita a profundizar en el tema y, sobre todo, un estímulo constante para iniciar nuevas interpretaciones en torno a la obra virgiliana. Francisca Moya, catedrática de la Universidad de Murcia, se ha encargado de redactar una minuciosa Presentación y de añadir una detallada Bibliografía sobre la influencia de Virgilio en España.

Tracing Orpheus
There is hardly a more controversial issue in the study of ancient religion than Orphism. More than two centuries of debate have not closed the subject, since new evidence and divergent approaches have kept appearing regularly. This volume sheds light on the most relevant pieces of evidence for ancient Orphism, collected in the recent edition by Alberto Bernabé. It contains 65 short new studies on Orphic fragments by leading international scholars who comment one of the most controversial phenomena in Antiquity from a plurality of perspectives. Readers will acquire a global vision of the multiple dimensions of the Orphic tradition, as well as many new insights into particular Orphic fragments.
Redefining Ancient Orphism
This book examines the fragmentary and contradictory evidence for Orpheus as the author of rites and poems to redefine Orphism as a label applied polemically to extra-ordinary religious phenomena. Replacing older models of an Orphic religion, this richer and more complex model provides insight into the boundaries of normal and abnormal Greek religion. The study traces the construction of the category of 'Orphic' from its first appearances in the Classical period, through the centuries of philosophical and religious polemics, especially in the formation of early Christianity and again in the debates over the origins of Christianity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A paradigm shift in the study of Greek religion, this study provides scholars of classics, early Christianity, ancient religion and philosophy with a new model for understanding the nature of ancient Orphism, including ideas of afterlife, cosmogony, sacred scriptures, rituals of purification and initiation, and exotic mythology.
Dionysism and Comedy
This book investigates the idea of comic seriousness in Old Comedy. The issue has been a vexing one in classical studies, and the most traditional stance has been that Aristophanes' comedies reflect his personal ideology, reducing the plays to little more than political speeches. Riu concludes, in contrast, that we should abandon our preconceptions about comic seriousness and approach the language of Aristophanes with care and precision, alert to the nuances of meaning that the comic genre entails. Attempting to set Old Comedy in its proper context, Riu explores the myth and ritual of Dionysus in the city-state (including a reading of Euripides'Bacchae and other sources) and relates the patterns found in those myths to the works of Aristophanes. The book concludes with a section on the relationship between comedy and reality, the import of insults in comedy, comedy as ritual, the relationship between author and character, and the seriousness of comedy. With an appendix that examines the exceptional case ofClouds, Dionysism and Comedy is an important resource for students and scholars of classical comedy and the comedic genre
