{"product_id":"the-hesiodic-catalogue-of-women-richard-hunter-9780521836845","title":"The Hesiodic Catalogue of Women: Constructions and Reconstructions","description":"The Catalogue of Women, ascribed to Hesiod, one of the greatest figures of early hexameter poetry, maps the Greek world, its evolution and its heroic myths through the mortal women who bore children to the gods. In this collection a team of international scholars offers an attempt to explore the poem's meaning, significance and reception. Individual chapters examine the organization and structure of the poem, its social and political context, its relation to other early epic and Hesiodic poetry, its place in the development of a pan-Hellenic consciousness, and attitudes to women. The wider influence of the Catalogue is considered in chapters on Pindar and the lyric tradition, on Hellenistic poetry, and on the poem's reception at Rome. This collection provides a significant approach to the study of the Catalogue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Hunter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521836840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521836845\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 07\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.32w x 0.98d","brand":"Richard Hunter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119843602687,"sku":"9780521836845","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df951a51-e9ec-4f54-bab6-d5e4b7e2d2bb.jpg?v=1687411229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hesiodic-catalogue-of-women-richard-hunter-9780521836845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
