The aim of this book is to make the Priapea (or Corpus Priapeorum or Carmina Priapea) accessible to intermediate students of Ancient Latin. 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 Latin while enjoying a fascinating group of poems. The Priapea is a great text for intermediate readers. The sentence structure is fairly simple, and the range of syntax is rather narrow. However, there are many off-color jokes and double entendre that require some thoughtful attention to the connotations of many ordinary words. There is considerable wittiness deployed in creating variations on a small number of obscene themes and scenarios, so that there are examples of the whole range of technique in Roman poetic practice.
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.
The aim of this book is to make accessible to intermediate students of Ancient Greek three examples of Lucian's Prolaliai, or "Introductory Lectures" (A Literary Prometheus, Dionysus and Heracles). The running vocabulary and grammatical commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page, so that readers can progress through the texts, improving their knowledge of Greek while enjoying one of the most entertaining authors of antiquity. In each of these texts, Lucian reflects on aspects of his performance, on the hybrid nature of his new genre, the comic dialogue, and his own cultural hybridity, as an outsider engaged with the canon of traditional Greek culture he has mastered. As such these readings are typical of their author as well as the brilliant period of Greek literature known as the Second Sophistic.
