Jacob provides the reader with a map and a compass to navigate the unfathomable number of intersecting paths in this enormous work: the books, the quotations, the diners, the dishes served, and—above all—the wordplay, all within the simulacrum of an ancient Greek library. A text long mined merely for its testimonies to lost classical poets, the Sophists at Dinner has now received a full literary re-imagining by Jacob, who connects the world of Hellenistic erudition with its legacy among Hellenized Romans. The Web of Athenaeus simultaneously offers a literary history of the rarest and finest of Greek culture along with a creative anthropology of a Roman imperial world obsessed with the Greek past.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Christian Jacob, Arietta Papaconstantino, Scott Fitzgeral JohnsonTranslator: Arietta PapaconstantinouContributor: Arietta Papaconstantinou (Translated by), Scott Fitzgerald Johnson (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: History, Ancient HistoryBook Series: Hellenic Studies SeriesType: Classics & Ancient HistoryItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 249gRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
