The Poem of my Cid
translated with an introduction and commentary by P. Such & John Hodgkinson
One of the most powerful and sustained works in all medieval literature, without which no series could be considered complete. The Poem of My Cid deals with the exploits of the medieval Castilian warrior, beginning with the sorrow of his departure into exile and focusing on his determination to regain the favour of his king. The poem is rich in incident and around the strength of the epic hero is developed the theme of the relationship between ...

Christopher Columbus: Journal of the First Voyage
Edited and Translated with an Introduction and Notes by B.W. Ilf
When Columbus returned to Spain from his momentous first journey in the Spring of 1493, he presented his Journal to Queen Isabella. Unfortunately no complete copy has survived. The loss would have been irreparable had it not been for the efforts of Bartolomé de las Casas whose digest survives in the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid. The Journal, even in its abbreviated form, is a fascinating day-to-day account of the Admiral's discovery of Cuba ...

Greek Personal Religion: A Reader
by Stephen Instone
The relationship between the individual and the divine in ancient Greece is a complex one, which has tended to be neglected in favour of studies of state religion, festivals, sanctuaries and oracles.

Pindar: Selected Odes
edited with translation, commentary and notes by Stephen Instone
Pindar's Odes, blending beauty of poetic form and profundity of thought, are one of the wonders of Ancient Greece. Composed in the first instance to commemorate athletics victories, they fan out like a peacock's tail to illuminate with brilliant subtlety and imagination the human condition in general, and how our moments of heroic achievement are inevitably tempered by our mortal frailties. This edition aims to make for the first time a selection ...

Menander: The Bad Tempered Man
edited with a translation and commentary by S. Ireland
Though in later antiquity the social comedies of Menander ranked second in popularity only to Homer, his plays were for centuries thought to be irretrievably lost. Only in this century have instances begun to re-emerge from the sands of Egypt, and it was not until 1958 that a complete play, Dyskolos or The Bad-Tempered Man, came to light. With this we can now gauge in full the skill that Menander brought to his works, even in the early phase of ...

Menander: The Shield (Aspis) and The Arbitration (Epitrepontes)
edited and translated by Stanley Ireland
What reason has an educated man for going to the theatre, except to see Menander'?Thus the judgement of Aristophanes of Byzantium, and in later antiquity the social comedies of Menander ranked second in popularity only to the epics of Homer. Yet for centuries thereafter the plays were thought to be irretrievably lost, failing to become part of the canon of writers that generations of copyists deemed worthy of transmitting to us. It was only in ...

Terence: The Mother-in-Law~
edited with translation, introduction and commentary by S. Ireland.~
At the first two presentations of this play in 165 and 160 BC, the prospect of rival attractions drove the actors prematurely off the stage, and it was only in September 160 that it was finally performed in full. For this reason the play has been seen as spanning virtually the whole of Terence's career, while the fact that the playwright refused to abandon it to oblivion indicates the importance which he himself attached to it. Though its plot is ...

Persius: The Satires
Translation, commentary and notes by J. R. Jenkinson~
The Satires contain six Latin poems of moderate length in the hexameter metre. Persius belonged to the well-to-do and landowning gentry of Italy and the tone and philosophical content of the Satires suggest that he pursued philosophy with an ardour beyond that conventionally thought proper by Romans. Latin text with translation, commentary and notes. (Aris and Phillips 1981)
