Clodia: A Sourcebook (Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture) Overview

A striking portrait of one of the most fascinating women in Roman history

Noble and notorious, the flamboyant Clodia Metelli was the object of passion in poetry and prose in ancient Rome and appears in more written sources than any other woman of her day. Cicero, in a famous oration, branded her a whore yet in private correspondence mentions seeking her help. Her stormy affair with the poet Catullus—the Western world’s first recorded romance with a real and richly characterized woman—had a profound influence on erotic literature.

Bringing together works by Cicero, Catullus, and others in which Clodia plays a part, Julia Dyson Hejduk has produced a striking portrait of one of the most fascinating women in Roman history. Her accurate and accessible English translations include not only all the classical texts that mention Clodia, but also a substantial selection of Roman erotic poetry by Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid. While many sourcebooks offer only small illustrative excerpts, Clodia provides most sources in their entirety, such as the Pro Caelio of Cicero, nineteen complete letters, all of Catullus’s poems on “Lesbia” (his pseudonym for Clodia), and many subsequent love elegies.

Hejduk’s translations please the ear while remaining faithful to the original meaning. Her introduction reviews topics in classical culture and themes in Roman love poetry, placing the texts in their literary, social, and historical context and making them accessible to high school students and undergraduates. Notes, glossary, and bibliography make the book a well-rounded teaching tool.

WINTER'S CROWN SERIES BOOK ONE: Alive in the Underworld (Winters Crown) Overview

WINTER’S CROWN SERIES: The Ancient Eleusinian Mystery Epic

This story comes from a time before time and before history began. A time when Gods lived on Earth. The ancient Greeks referred to this story as "The Myth of Hades and Persephone." It has been long believed that this knowledge is the key to the survival of our culture. For not all is as it seems in the subterranean caverns of the Underworld where this story unfolds. This myth is not fiction. It consists of facts that are continually repeated and can be observed over and over again. Humans have mythical fates just as much as the Greek heroes do.

WINTER’S CROWN SERIES BOOK ONE: Alive in the Underworld

Could it be true that humans once shared the world with a race of god-like beings who were thought to be immortal? “Alive in the Underworld” begins a psychedelic three-volume saga of epic proportions. A battle between good and evil in which primordial forces of masculine and feminine energies are unleashed upon the Earth.

Imagining Men: Ideals of Masculinity in Ancient Greek Culture (Praeger Series on the Ancient World) Overview

Exploring models for masculinity as they appear in major works of Greek literature, this book combines literary, historical, and psychological insights to examine how the ancient Greeks understood the meaning of a man's life. The thoughts and actions of Achilles, Odysseus, Oedipus, and other enduring characters from Greek literature reflect the imperatives that the ancient Greeks saw as governing a man's life as he moved from childhood to adult maturity to old age. Because the Greeks believed that men (as opposed to women) were by nature the proper agents of human civilization within the larger order of the universe, examining how the Greeks thought that a man ought to live his life prompts exploration of the place of human life in a world governed by transcendent forces, nature, fate, and the gods.

While focusing on the experience of men in ancient Greece, the discussion also offers an analysis of the society in which they lived, addressing questions still vital in our own time, such as how the members of a society should govern themselves, distribute resources, form relationships with others, weigh the needs of the individual against the larger good of the community, and establish right relations with divine forces beyond their knowledge or control. Suggestions for further reading offer the reader the chance to explore the ideas in the book.
