Unlike most etymology textbooks, this one presents the words studied in the context of the ideas in which the words functioned. Instead of studying endless lists of word roots, suffixes, and prefixes in isolation, the words are enlivened by the social, literary, and cultural media in which they were used. Readers are introduced to a wide variety of topics from classical antiquity, entertained by clever cartoons, and are able to practice their word knowledge with exercises. Special Features -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An etymology textbook that also introduces students to a wide variety of topics in classical antiquity Chapters on Mythology, Medicine, Politics and Law, Commerce and Economics, Philosophy and Psychology, History Introduction to word building Exercises throughout Illustrations of ancient artifacts Clever cartoons on word origins Glossary of English words and phrases For over 30 years Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has produced the highest quality Latin and ancient Greek books.

(Satura quidem tota nostra est Satire is altogether ours w...)
Satura quidem tota nostra est Satire is altogether ours was the claim of the Roman Quintilian, the first century ce commentator on rhetorical and literary matters, for the literary world had not previously seen the likes of satire. Not for the faint of heart, satire is characterized by its wide-ranging themes, its tone that is sometimes humorous and distinctively biting, and its undeniable perspicacity. As an antidote to life’s frustrations and human foibles, satire is the undisputed queen of genres. This edition provides selections in both English and Latin, with explanatory notes keyed to the English text, a full introduction to the genre and its practitioners, and an index of names. Roman satire is represented in its full array: the more familiar Horace and Juvenal stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the lesser known Lucilius and Persius. The difficulties presented by Roman satire are thus admirably met by the editors. With this helpful edition in hand, readers will find themselves nodding in recognition, perhaps even agreeing with Juvenal (Satire 1.30): difficile est saturam non scribere it is difficult not to write satire …and even more difficult it is not to read it!

This study examines the thematic design and intent of Statius's "Thebaid" and considers the question of its contemporary relevance. It focuses on the central theme of power, how it is exercised on the supernatural and human levels and the consequences of its pursuit and abuse in terms of the human condition. The ensuing discussion explores the political undercurrents of the epic. The discussion is in four main parts: use and abuse of supernatural power; pursuit and abuse of monarchal power; consequences of the abuse of power; and political allusions to contemporary Rome. The views expressed represent a fundamental departure from previous studies and constitute a critical reassessment of the "Thebaid". Translations make the book accessible to the Latinless reader.
