This volume brings together a group of international scholars, who explore many unusual aspects of the world of Byzantine women in the period 800-1200. The specific aim of this collection is to investigate the participation of women - non-imperial women in particular - in supposedly ’masculine’ fields of operation. This new research across a range of disciplines attempts to provide an analysis of the activities of and attitudes towards Byzantine women in this period. Using evidence from sources as diverse as tax registers, monastic foundation documents, twelfth-century novels, hist

Frank Trombley looks specifically at the process he calls "christianization" and at the "points of conjuncture" between the old and new religions, wherein the ordinary people" of Greece accepted radical changes in their religious allegiances at the behest of Christian leaders.

1898. With special reference to the recent mythological works of the Rt. Hon. Prof. F. Max Muller and Mr. Andrew Lang. The leaders in England of two schools of mythology, based mainly in the one case on Aryan linguistics and in the other on anthropology, had recently published their revised, and probably final, conclusions. The author decided the time seemed opportune for a statement of the principles of a third school which Brown styled the Aryo-Semitic. This volume is divided into three Parts: Professor Max Muller’s last pronouncement on mythology; Mr. Lang’s latest attack upon P

In Pindar’s Verbal Art, James Bradley Wells argues that the victory song is a traditional art form that appealed to a popular audience and served exclusive elite interests through the inclusive appeal of entertainment, popular instruction, and laughter. This is the first study of Pindar’s language that applies performance as a method for the ethnographic description and interpretation of entextualized records of verbal art. In Mikhail Bakhtin’s terms, Pindar’s Verbal Art is a sociological stylistics of epinician language and demonstrates that Pindar’s is a highly dialogical form of

Classical allusion in James Joyce’s work is staggering - despite the fact that he knew no ancient Greek and had only a minimal grasp of its modern form. This book by R.J. Schork comprehensively examines the essential contributions of Greek language, literature, history and mythology to the structure and comic aspects of Joyce’s fiction. Like Schork’s earlier companion book (the study of Roman culture and Joyce), this work contains the same attention to philological detail, literary nuance and cross-referencing of sources. And again, the overriding critical emphasis is on the
