{"product_id":"the-hesiodic-catalogue-of-women-kirk-ormand-9781107035195","title":"The Hesiodic Catalogue of Women and Archaic Greece","description":"This book examines the extant fragments of the archaic Greek poem known in antiquity as Hesiod's Catalogue of Women. Kirk Ormand shows that the poem should be read intertextually with other hexameter poetry from the eighth to sixth century BCE, especially Homer, Hesiod, and the Cyclic epics. Through literary interaction with these poems, the Catalogue reflects political and social tensions in the archaic period regarding the production of elite status. In particular, Ormand argues that the Catalogue reacts against the \"middling ideology\" that came to the fore during the archaic period in Greece, championing traditional aristocratic modes of status. Ormand maintains that the poem's presentation of the end of the heroic age is a reflection of a declining emphasis on nobility of birth in the structures of authority in the emerging sixth century polis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirk Ormand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107035198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107035195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 799","brand":"Kirk Ormand","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201743515903,"sku":"9781107035195","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1822b19-c466-4041-8e03-f356a5f73539.jpg?v=1691491147","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hesiodic-catalogue-of-women-kirk-ormand-9781107035195","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
