Achilles is the quintessential Greek hero, but that does not mean that he is a conventional hero. His uniqueness is dictated by his birth, as the son of a sea goddess, and his education at the hands of a centaur. The hero’s exceptional nature also forms part of the tension that both unites and opposes him to Apollo. Achilles presents the different episodes in the life of this hero conventionally, in chronological order, based primarily on the Greek sources: birth, education, deeds in Troy, death and subsequent destiny as a figure of worship. On the other hand, this study employs the hero Achilles to reflect on various issues, all of them crucial for historians of the Greek world: what it meant to be and become a man in ancient Greece, what a hero’s aretê consisted of, how the Greeks represented the concepts of friendship and camaraderie, what moved them to revenge or reconciliation, what hopes they harboured as they faced their fate, how they imagined something as difficult to conceive of as a human sacrifice, and how they developed their ideas about the afterlife and hero cult.

Funerary Epigrams of Ancient Greece

Taking a wide selection of Greek funerary epigrams from the 6th to 4th centuries BC, this volume considers their historical and chronological contexts to draw out information about the society that created them. Using both Hansen’s corpus of epigrams and wider examples, it gives priority to those cases where the whole monument ensemble is preserved, both text and image, enabling a much better understanding of the significance of the texts.A thematic structure within a broader chronological framework provides a valuable lens on the epigrams, allowing readers to compare particular types across the time period. After introducing the funerary landscape in which the selected epigrams fit, González briefly considers the literary form of epigrams as a foil for the rest of the book. The remaining chapters focus on epitaphs of individuals in the most significant stages of life, where gender differences are most marked: themes include untimely death, women and wives, friendship, piety and non-kin love. All epigrams are offered in Greek, followed by an English translation. The analysis focuses on the literary aspects of the epigrams, as well as on the information they provide about both society and religion of ancient Greece.

Esquilo: poeta de la guerra

Esquilo no fue solo el primero de los grandes tragediografos: fue tambien un soldado que combatio en Maraton y Salamina y conocio de primera mano el horror de la guerra. En este ensayo iluminador, Marta Gonzalez Gonzalez nos invita a releer sus tragedias desde una perspectiva inedita: la de un poeta que dio voz a los vencidos. A traves de Casandra (la princesa troyana esclavizada), las aterrorizadas jovenes de Tebas o las hijas de Danao que huyen de un matrimonio forzoso, Esquilo tejio un testimonio estremecedor sobre la violencia sexual como arma de guerra, el trauma del exilio, el duelo por los muertos y la destruccion material y simbolica de las victimas. Una denuncia de las violencias que, liberada por la autora de este ensayo de los prejuicios de la critica posterior en los que fue enterrada, resuena hoy con la misma fuerza que entonces.
