{"product_id":"poems-in-context-laura-migulez-cavero-9783110202731","title":"Poems in Context: Greek Poetry in the Egyptian Thebaid 200-600 AD","description":"\u003cp\u003eExamining carefully the Egyptian epic hexameter production from the 3rd to the 6th centuries AD, especially that of the southern region (Thebaid), this study provides an image of three centuries in the history of the Graeco-Egyptian literature, in which authors and poetry are related directly to the social-economic, cultural and literary contexts from which they come. The training they could get and the books and authors they came in touch with explain that we know so many names and works, written in a language and metrics that enjoyed the greatest esteem, being considered proofs of the highest culture. Laura Migu駘ez Cavero demonstrates that the traditional image of a \"school of Nonnos\" is not justified - rather, Triphiodorus, Nonnus, Musaeus, Colluthus, Cyrus of Panopolis and Christodorus of Coptos are just the tip of a literary iceberg we know only to some extent through the texts that papyri offer us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Migu駘ez-Cavero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110202735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110202731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.38d","brand":"Laura Migu駘ez-Cavero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940752785663,"sku":"9783110202731","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_46811e49-e198-42fa-b067-ed8afd379c72.jpg?v=1681448988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poems-in-context-laura-migulez-cavero-9783110202731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
