Maciver, Calum Alasdair. Quintus Smyrnaeus' Posthomerica [electronic resource] : engaging Homer in late antiquity / by Calum Alasdair Maciver. 1st ed. Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2012. 1 online resource (232 p.) text txt computer c online resource cr Mnemosyne : supplements : monographs on Greek and Latin language and literature, 0169-8958 ; v. 343 Description based upon print version of record. English Quintus Smyrnaeus' Posthomerica (3rd century C.E.), the 14 book Greek epic on the Trojan War, is a text which has traditionally been overlooked in the main canon of Classical authors, and in fact until only recently has been largely ignored as a literary work. This book, the first monograph in English on the poem since 1904, examines the Posthomerica’s close relationship with the Homeric epics, with a focus on the originality and Late Antique interpretative bias of Quintus in his readings and emulation of Homer. The study deals specifically with three separate aspects of poetics, and their Homeric intertextuality: ecphrasis, gnomai, and similes, and their role within the poem’s narrative strategies, themes, and aims. Includes bibliographical references and indexes. Signs of the times: being Homer later -- Reading Quintus reading Homer -- A late antique aesthetic? -- (M)use-less singing: Quintus' art? -- Ecphrasis and the emblems of the past -- Reading directions in ecphrasis -- (Re-)reading the shield of Achilles -- Unfolding ecphrasis: the mountain of arete -- Speaking morality through gnomai -- Homeric voices? narrators and narratees -- Fate, gods, and the sayings of Nestor -- Posthomeric similes, Homeric likenesses -- Penthesileia: a new dawn -- Helen received, Helen judged -- Like father like son: comparing Neoptolemus.
