Narrative is an important element in our daily life and the novel is arguably the most popular genre of our times. The theory of narrative or narratology, which was developed in the 1960s, has helped us towards a better understanding of the how and why of narrative. Narratology and Classics is the first introduction to narratology that deals specifically with classical narrative: epic, historiography, biography, the ancient novel, but also the many narratives inserted in drama or lyric. The first part of the volume sketches the rise of narratology, and defines key narratological terms, illustrated with examples from both modern novels and Greek and Latin texts. Among the topics discussed are the identity of the role of narrator and narratees, tales within tales, metalepsis, temporal devices such as prolepsis and analepsis, retardation and acceleration, repetition and gaps, focalisation, and the thematic, symbolic, or characterising functions of space. The second part of the volume offers three close readings of famous classical texts and shows how the interpretation of these texts can be enriched by the use of narratology. The aim of this practical guide is to initiate its readers quickly into a literary theory that has established itself as a powerful new instrument in the classicist's toolkit. All concepts are clearly defined and illustrated from Greek and Latin texts, and detailed bibliographies at the end of each chapter point the way to theoretical studies and to further narratological studies of classical texts.

A Narratological Commentary on the Odyssey
Irene J. F. de Jong
Cambridge University Press
2001
sidottu
Whereas traditional commentaries tend to be comprehensive and micro-textual, this narratological commentary, first published in 2001, focuses on one aspect of the Odyssey, its narrativity, and pays lavish attention to the meso- and macro-levels. Drawing on the concepts of modern narratology as well as the insights of Homeric scholarship, it discusses the role of narrator and narratees, methods of characterization and description, plot-development, focalization, and the narrative exploitation of type-scenes. Full attention is also given to the structure, characterizing function, and relation to the narrative context of the abundantly present speeches. Finally, the numerous themes and motifs, which so subtly contribute to the unity of this long text, are traced and evaluated. Although Homer's brilliant narrative art has always been admired, this commentary aims to lay bare the techniques responsible for this brilliance. All Greek is translated and all technical terms explained in a glossary.

Hasanlu Special Studies, Volume I – A Decorated Breastplate from Hasanlu, Iran

University of Pennsylvania Museum

Any consideration of the Iranian plateau must include the important site of Hasanlu in northern Iran. The Museum carried out excavations from 1956 through 1977. A major aspect of the research focused on the Iron Age settlement. This fortified town was attacked around 800 B.C. The attack and accompanying fire caused the rapid collapse of public buildings. Thus, the site provides a unique opportunity to examine a wide range of objects and materials still in the contexts in which they were stored.

Mary Knew: A Biography Of Mary From Ancient Scriptures

MARY KNEW provides intricate details about Mary, the mother of Jesus, Immanuel. Angels informed her parents, prior to Mary's conception, that God named, blessed and ordained their future daughter to be the mother of the Savior. Angels dictated how Mary was to be treated during her first three years, what she would eat, and that the child would be more blessed than any woman to ever be born on Earth. By the time she was one year old, all temple priests and all citizens of Galilee knew Mary's purpose in life. She was famous throughout the Galilee Province. At the age of three, as dictated by the angels, Mary was moved to the Jerusalem Temple. There she lived a holy life for over a decade. She communed and conversed daily with angels who fed her. Difficulties with Temple priests encountered by Mary and Joseph are documented in the biography along with the holy and spectacular birth of Jesus Christ. This book is a compilation from ancient scriptures that were used in early Christian churches for hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ. Eyewitness testimony of Apostle James, the youngest son of Joseph and stepbrother to Jesus, documents Mary's life with a multitude of angels, miracles and fulfilling ancient prophecies. James became a chief Apostle and First Bishop of Christian churches in Jerusalem.
