{"product_id":"dionysus-and-rome-fiachra-mac-gzerzain-9783110671568","title":"Dionysus and Rome: Religion and Literature","description":"While most work on Dionysus is based on Greek sources, this collection of essays examines the god's Roman and Italian manifestations.\u003cbr\u003eNine contributions address Bacchus' appearance at the crossroads of Greek and Roman cultures, tracing continuities and differences between literary and archaeological sources for the god. The essays offer coverage of Dionysus in Roman art, Italian epigraphy; Latin poetry including epic, drama and elegy; and prose, including historiography, rhetorical and Christian discourse.\u003cbr\u003eThe introduction offers an overview of the presence of Dionysus in Italy from the archaic to the imperial periods, identifying the main scholarly trends, with treatment of key Dionysian episodes in Roman history and literature. Individual chapters address the reception of Euripides' Bacchae across Greek and Roman literature from Athens to Byzantium; Dionysus in Roman art of the archaic and Augustan periods; the god's relationship with Fufluns and Liber in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE; Dionysian associations; Bacchus in Cicero; Ovid's Tristia 5.3; Bacchus in the writings of Christian Latin writers.\u003cbr\u003eThe collection sheds light on a relatively understudied aspect of Dionysus, and will stimulate further research in this area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiachra Mac Góráin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110671565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110671568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Fiachra Mac Góráin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136979579135,"sku":"9783110671568","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b816dbf1-d82f-43d6-ab06-68b40b7e1c3f.jpg?v=1770165738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dionysus-and-rome-fiachra-mac-gzerzain-9783110671568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
