Scrinium Classical Antiquity

TZIOVAS, D., Re-imagining the Past. Antiquity and Modern Greek Culture. Oxford University Press, 2014. 448p. Hardback. Series: Classical Presences. This is a rich and varied volume that includes excellent and innovative work from a balanced group of established and young, male and female scholars, and I warmly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Greek history and the dilemmas of identity, ownership and legacy related to national narratives in general, Europe's Greek legacy, and the modern Greek experience.

UDEN, J., The Invisible Satirist. Juvenal and Second-Century Rome. Oxford University Press, 2014. 272p. Hardback. J. Uden has written a very important, readable and intelligent new book. Unlike many other books on Juvenal, J. Uden does not place the poet in a generic sequence of verse satire. That field has been well ploughed, and it is not perhaps how writers actually work... This is a significant work and anybody who reads it will, like me, be challenged and inspired to read more.

UHLIG, A., Theatrical Reenactment in Pindar and Aeschylus: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2019. 314p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. What would Pindar and Aeschylus have talked about had they met at some point during their overlapping poetic careers? How do we map the space shared by these two fifth-century choral poets? In the first book-length comparative study of Pindar and Aeschylus in over six decades, Anna S. Uhlig pushes back against the prevailing tendency to privilege interpretive frames that highlight the differences in their works. Instead, she adopts a more inclusive category of choral performance, one in which both poets are shown to be grappling to understand how the vivid here and now of their compositions are in fact a reenactment of voices and bodies from elsewhere. Pairing close readings of the ancient texts with insights from modern performance studies, Uhlig offers a novel perspective on the 'song culture' of early fifth-century BC Greece.
