Book Description
The aim of this book is to make the Gospel of John accessible simultaneously to intermediate students of Ancient Greek and Latin. There are lots of resources available for the study of John's gospel, particularly in Greek, but this edition juxtaposes the Greek text to one of its most famous translations: the rendering into Latin by St. Jerome known as the vulgate. The running vocabulary and grammatical commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page, so that readers can progress through the text, improving their knowledge of Greek and/or Latin while reading one of the key texts of early Christianity. For those who know both Greek and Latin, it will be possible to use one language as a resource to read the other. Meanwhile, the vulgate is a key index of how the Greek text was understood by early Christians in the Latin west. The Gospel of John is a great text for intermediate readers of both Greek and Latin. It is one of our best examples of koine Greek, the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean for centuries after the time of Alexander the Great. The sentence structure is very simple and there is a great deal of repetition in vocabulary and syntax. The Latin translation follows the Greek closely, translating word for word as much as possible, so that it is a fascinating exercise in translation.

Longus, Daphnis and Chloe
Author: C T Hadavas
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This book provides vocabulary and commentary to Longus' ancient romance novel Daphnis and Chloe (c. 150-250 CE), one of the last great works of Ancient Greek pagan literature. Longus' text tells the ostensibly simple story of how an innocent young boy (the goatherder Daphnis) and girl (the shepherdess Chloe) on the Aegean island of Lesbos gradually discover love, sex, and their true selves in a semi-idealized pastoral environment. In actuality, however, this narrative surface conceals an intricately crafted and highly polished work that, as it delights the eyes and ears with its rhythmical, symmetrical, and variegated verbal patternings, explores questions concerning gender and the relations between the sexes, investigates the relationship between instinct and culture, and offers a sophisticated commentary on the interrelationship of τέχνη ("art") and φύσις ("nature"), μῦθος ("fiction/imagination") and λόγος ("factual account/truth").The vocabulary lists in this edition employ the up-to-date English definitions found in Franco Montanari's The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek (2015), and are therefore superior to those found in the one other English language student commentary on Daphnis and Chloe aimed at intermediate-level readers, Byrne and Cueva's Longus' Daphnis and Chloe: An Annotated Edition (Mundelein [IL], 2005), which rely on the mid-nineteenth-century English of LSJ9 (Liddell, H. G., Scott, R., Stuart Jones, J., and Mackenzie, R. (eds.). A Greek-English Lexicon [9th edition]. Oxford, 1968). In addition, the notes in this edition, which are more numerous and detailed than those in Byrne and Cueva's text, explicate syntactical and grammatical aspects that may be challenging for intermediate students, point out many (not all!) of the various literary/rhetorical figures and tropes that are extensively employed, and supply information on historical and cultural issues raised by the novel. Lastly, a glossary is included of words that occur more than three times.

Plutarch's Dialogue on love
Author: Plutarch
Publisher: Faenum Publishing, Limited
ISBN: 9780983222811

Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
The aim of this book is to make Plutarch's Dialogue on Love accessible to intermediate students of Greek. The running vocabulary and grammatical commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page. The Dialogue on Love is a great intermediate Greek text. Its discussion of the merits and pitfalls of passion and desire is grounded in the philosophical tradition reaching back to Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus, but Plutarch's treatment of these themes includes a novel celebration of marriage and the love of women, reinforced by the dramatic setting and background action to the dialogue. It is thus a great example of the imperial period of Greek literature, when figures like Plutarch engaged in a lively dialogue with their classical cultural heritage.

Lucian's The Ass
Author: Lucian (of Samosata.)
Publisher: Faenum Publishing, Limited
ISBN: 9780983222828
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The aim of this book is to make Lucian's The Ass accessible to intermediate students of Ancient Greek. The running vocabulary and commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page. The Ass is a great intermediate Greek text. The narrative is fast-paced and funny, and the language is fairly simple and easy to follow. Unlike its better-known Latin relative, Apuleius' Golden Ass, Lucian's The Ass is an unpretentious satirical text that tells a funny story in a casual and light-hearted manner. There is little moralizing or didacticism in the story, and unlike the hero of Apuleius's version of the story, there is no religious or philosophical illumination at the end. The final episode is a funny twist of events completely in tune with the tenor of the rest of the novel. There is a hilarious love-making episode with lots of double-entendre, and other episodes that portray the doings of various low-life characters who are rarely present in ancient literature at all. Thieves, religious charlatans, witches, millers, servants, soldiers and bakers all find a place in this strange story of chance and magic.
