This compendium (4 vols.) studies the continuity, flexibility, and variation of structural elements in epic narratives. It provides an overview of the structural patterns of epic poetry by means of a standardized, stringent terminology. Both diachronic developments and changes within individual epics are scrutinized in order to provide a comprehensive structural approach and a key to intra- and intertextual characteristics of ancient epic poetry.

The Homeric Epics And The Chinese Book Of Songs written by Fritz-Heiner Mutschler and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018 with Chinese poetry categories.

The Homeric epics and the Book of Songs are not just the fountainheads of the Western and Chinese literary traditions; for centuries they played a central role in education and communal life, and thus exercised a lasting influence on both civilizations. This volume presents the first systematic comparison of the two corpora. Part One analyzes their genesis and their reception, while Part Two discusses their characteristics as poetic creations. The book brings together Chinese and Western sinologists and classicists, and so promotes significant interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue. Though the contributors rank among the leading experts in their fields, the essays here are accessible not only to their peers, but also to the interested general reader, and so to all those who seek a deeper understanding of Chinese and Western civilizations, their common human basis and their characteristic differences.

The Tibetan Gesar epic, considered “the world’s longest poem,” has been the object of countless retellings, translations, and academic studies in the two centuries since it was first introduced to European readers. In The Many Faces of Ling Gesar, its many aspects—historical, cultural, and literary—are surveyed for the first time in a single volume in English, addressed to both general readers and specialists. The original scholarship presented here, by international experts in Tibetan Studies, honours the contributions of Rolf A. Stein (1911-1999), whose studies of the Tibetan epic are the enduring standard in this field. With a foreword by Jean-Noël Robert, Collège de France. Contributors are: Anne-Marie Blondeau, Chopa Dondrup, Estelle Dryland, Solomon George FitzHerbert, Gregory Forgues, Frances Garrett, Frantz Grenet, Lama Jabb, Matthew W. King, Norbu Wangdan, Geoffrey Samuel, Siddiq Wahid, Wang Guoming, Yang Enhong.

Epic Verse Structure explores the intricate architecture of classical epics like the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid, revealing how these ancient stories continue to captivate audiences. The book argues that appreciating the artistry of epic verse enhances our understanding of the epics' themes, characters, and cultural context. It delves into the strategic use of rhetorical techniques, such as vivid similes and dramatic speeches, which amplify emotional impact, and recurring thematic patterns, like heroic journeys and divine intervention, which explore universal human experiences. The book examines meter, rhetorical techniques, and thematic patterns within the historical and social context of ancient Greece and Rome, showing how epic poetry served as a vehicle for cultural transmission and moral instruction. Did you know that the specific metrical pattern of dactylic hexameter shaped the rhythm and flow of these works, influencing both the oral tradition and written form? The book progresses from fundamental concepts of meter and rhythm to detailed analysis of rhetorical devices and thematic patterns, culminating in a discussion of epic verse's influence on later literature.

Women And War In Roman Epic written by Elina Pyy and has been published by Language of Classical Lite this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-11-12 with Literary Criticism categories.

"In Women and War in Roman Epic, Elina Pyy discusses the narrative and ideological functions of gender in the works of Virgil, Lucan, Statius, Silius Italicus and Valerius Flaccus. By examining the themes of violence, death, guilt, grief, and anger in their epics, she offers an account of the intertextual tradition of the genre and its socio-political background. Through a combination of classical narratology and Julia Kristeva's subjectivity theory, Pyy scrutinises how gendered marginality is constructed in the genre and how it contributes to the fashioning of Roman imperial identity. Focusing on the ambiguous elements of epic, the study looks beyond the binary oppositions between the Self and the Other, male and female, and Roman and barbarian"--

The Epic Cycle written by Martin Litchfield West and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013 with Trojan War categories.

"The Iliad and Odyssey do not cover the main story of the Trojan War. The whole saga, which includes Zeus' plan to reduce the world's population, the Judgment of Paris and seduction of Helen, the start of the campaign, the Wooden Horse, the fall of Achilles, the homecoming of Agamemnon, and the eventual death of Odysseus, was related in six other epics, dating from 630-560 BCE, that were influential for lyric poets, tragedians, and artists of the classical age but are known to us only through fragments and brief prose summaries. In this book Martin West presents all the source material and provides the first comprehensive commentary on it, making full use of iconographic as well as literary evidence. Discussing the individual fragments and testimonia, he endeavours to reconstruct the connections between them, so far as possible, and to build up a picture of the plan and course of each poem. In a substantial introduction he addresses general issues, including the nature and formation of the Epic Cycle, the status of the summaries of the Troy epics preserved under the name of Proclus, the validity of the attested ascriptions to particular poets, the reflexes of the Cycle in early art and literature, and its fortunes in and after the Hellenistic period."--Publisher's website.
