This volume is the first extended investigation of the classicism of José Rizal (1861–1896), the de facto national hero of the Philippines, and explores how Greco-Roman antiquity was harnessed by Rizal and other Philippine artists and thinkers at the end of the Spanish colonial period.Rizal lived at a crucial juncture in his nation’s history, and Zanker argues that Rizal’s writing and thought represents a rich and evolving example of late-colonial classical reception. The volume illustrates how the forms of knowledge associated with Greco-Roman antiquity were put to creative and powerful new tasks in the attempts of Rizal and his contemporaries to redefine the relationship between Spain and its most distant colony. It not only explores the presence of Greco-Roman antiquity in Rizal’s novels but also his lesser-known works in a roughly chronological order. Besides covering the entirety of Rizal’s surviving works, Zanker considers the role of antiquity in the paintings of Juan Luna and in Rizal’s parsing of his friendship with his Austrian collaborator, Ferdinand Blumentritt.José Rizal, the Philippines, and Greco-Roman Antiquity is of interest to students and scholars of Classics, particularly Classical Reception, and the colonial-era Philippines, as well as Latin American Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and Postcolonial Studies more broadly.

Metaphor in Homer

How are time, speech, and thought presented in the Iliad and Odyssey? What role does metaphor play in these portrayals? How might metaphor have aided the poet in the production of his song? In this book, Andreas T. Zanker considers these and other questions from the perspective of conceptual metaphor theory, investigating the commonalities and differences between the ancient and modern conceptualizations of, for example, the passing of time, communication of information, and internal dialogue. In so doing, he takes a stance on broader questions concerning the alleged 'primitive' quality of the Homeric conceptual system, the process of composition in performance, and the categories of the literal and the figurative. All Greek is translated, and readers in disciplines beyond classics and cognitive linguistics will find something of interest in this investigation of the conceptual metaphors lodged within a corpus of extremely early poetry.

This volume sets out to explore the complex relationship between Horace and Seneca. It is the first book that examines the interface between these different and yet highly comparable authors with consideration of their œuvres in their entirety. The fourteen chapters collected here explore a wide range of topics clustered around the following four themes: the combination of literature and philosophy; the ways in which Seneca’s choral odes rework Horatian material and move beyond it; the treatment of ethical, poetic, and aesthetic questions by the two authors; and the problem of literary influence and reception as well as ancient and modern reflections on these problems. While the intertextual contacts between Horace and Seneca themselves lie at the core of this project, it also considers the earlier texts that serve as sources for both authors, intermediary steps in Roman literature, and later texts where connections between the two philosopher-poets are drawn. Although not as obviously palpable as the linkage between authors who share a common generic tradition, this uneven but pervasive relationship can be regarded as one of the most prolific literary interactions between the early Augustan and the Neronian periods. A bidirectional list of correspondences between Horace and Seneca concludes the volume.

In what questions are scholars of Horace currently interested? What opportunities does this core Roman author offer twenty-first-century critics? This book discusses recent work on Horace by genre, moving from the early Satires through to the late Epistles. It also suggests new scholarly approaches to the poet, providing various ways of interpreting Horace’s background, genre categories, metaphors, and ethics. The target readership consists of scholars new to the field seeking to familiarize themselves swiftly with the formidable bibliography, and of specialists interested in a different perspective on this important but notoriously evasive author.
