{"product_id":"archaic-greek-poetry-barbara-hughes-fowler-9780299135140","title":"Archaic Greek Poetry: An Anthology","description":"With this anthology, Barbara Hughes Fowler presents the most comprehensive selection of Greek poetry of the seventh and sixth centuries B.C. ever published in English. Fowler's brilliant translations provide access to six Homeric Hymns, eight selections from Bakchylides, twelve odes of Pindar, selections from the iambicists and elegists, virtually all of Archilochos and of the surviving lyricists, including Sappho, and a number of anonymous poems about work, play, and politics. Archaic poets delighted in all that was radiant and delicate, and their poems should be read for their narrative charm, celebration of nature, and playful sensuality. There are tantalizing fragments of fables here, as well as poems of friendship and warfare, love and colonization. Along with her notes and bibliography, Fowler has provided a biographical list of poets and a glossary of proper names. \u003cbr\u003e In addition to its breadth, \u003ci\u003eArchaic Greek Poetry \u003c\/i\u003estands alone as the only volume of its kind translated by a contemporary published poet. Perhaps the most elegant translator of ancient Greek poetry into modern English, Barbara Hughes Fowler offers translations true to the original Greek while providing modern readers with superb examples of the beauty of lyric poetry. Students and scholars of classical and comparative literature, ancient history, and art history, as well as lovers of lyric poetry, will enthusiastically welcome this volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Hughes Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299135144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299135140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 5.88w x 0.81d","brand":"Barbara Hughes Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086466593023,"sku":"9780299135140","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e68e9207-2eaf-4201-8b15-16fba1d3919f.jpg?v=1769094831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archaic-greek-poetry-barbara-hughes-fowler-9780299135140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
