Paperback. Condición: Fine. 2nd. xvii, 444 pages, illustrations, maps; 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "Providing a full overview of the changing relationship between cities and the Olympic events, this substantially revised and enlarged edition builds on the success of its predecessor. Its coverage takes account of important new scholarship as well as adding reflections on the experience of staging Beijing 2008 and Vancouver 2010, the state of preparations for London 2012, and the plans for the Games scheduled for Sochi in 2014 and Rio de Janeiro 2016. The book is divided into three parts that provide overviews of the urban legacy of the four component Olympic festivals; systematic surveys of five key aspects of activity involved in staging the Olympics; and ten chronologically arranged portraits of host cities. As controversy over the growing size and expense of the Olympics continues, this timely assessment of the Games' development and the complex agendas that host cities attach to the event will be essential reading for urban and sports historians, urban geographers, planners and all concerned with understanding the relationship between cities and culture." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: 1.

The essential features include: accounts of the lives and works of the classical authors character entries and plot summaries general entries tracing the development of the various literary forms extensive coverage of the historical, political, social, and artistic background a chronological table providing instant access to the major literary and historical events of the period detailed maps pin~pointing places with important literary connections translations of all Latin and Greek words. Who was Achilles and why was his heel vulnerable? What was the sword of Damocles? How did Oedipus unwittingly fulfil his destiny? Western culture teems with allusions from classical literature, and this new edition of The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature, the first updating since Sir Paul Harvey's original edition of 1937, provides the key to these works and the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations which produced them. The book will be indispensable to all serious students of classical literature. It will be equally accessible to those with no knowledge of classical languages who wish simply to trace an allusion or understand the inspiration behind so much of Western art. All Greek is transliterated and all Latin and Greek is translated. Margaret Howatson has also condensed the findings of recent scholarship into highly readable prose and supplies more background information than was considered necessary in the first edition. The main focus of the Companion remains the lives and works of all the principal authors. Biographical entries present the essential facts and sift conjectural evidence about their subjects, while examinations of the major works extend to discussions of the philosophical dialogues and political speeches, and plot summaries of the epic poems and plays. There is ample coverage of the development of the various literary forms, such as epic, rhetorical writing, comedy, and tragedy, and a full explanation of poetic metre. Supplementing these articles are entries on the origins of the Greek and Latin alphabets and languages, while entries on books and writing and the transmission of ancient texts tell of the dissemination of these works and their collection in the great libraries of the Hellenistic world. But the Companion is also concerned with putting this literature in the context of its society and history, and consequently there are many articles on the political, social, and artistic achievements of the age. We learn of the political climate that produced the great speeches of Demosthenes and Cicero. Orators, statesmen, and generals stalk the pages. Major battles and conquests, vividly captured by contemporary historians like Thucydides and Caesar in his Commentaries, are here summarized, from the time of Alexander the Great to the Fall of Rome. Articles on contemporary social mores and religious beliefs help explain literary references, while the glories of philosophy, science, and art are celebrated from Cynics to Stoics, astronomy to water~clocks, and flute competitions to vase~painting. A helpful series of maps supplements geographical entries on pl.…
