Bemerkungen

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - Discovered in an Egyptian papyrus in 1896, the lyrics of Bacchylides are one of the great treasures of Greek poetry. These exquisite choral odes celebrate victories in the Pythian, Isthmian, Nemean, and Olympic games and chronicle the classical gods and heroes, eloquently revealing to us the spirit and world of Golden Age Greece. The poems are brilliantly translated by Robert Fagles, recently hailed by Garry Wills in the New Yorker as "the best living translator of ancient Greek drama, lyric poetry, and epic into modern English." First published in 1961, the book now includes a new translator's note by Fagles. - Robert Fagles, Arthur W. Marks '19 Professor of Comparative Literature at Princeton University, has recently received acclaim as the translator of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He received the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation in 1997 and an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1996. For close to forty years he has lived with his wife, Lynne, in Princeton, where they have raised two daughters, Katya and Nina. ISBN 9780300075526
