Pacuvius. Accius Achilles Tatius Leucippe and Clitophon S. Gaselee, Translator Leucippe and Clitophon, written in the 2nd century A.D., is exceptional among the ancient romances in being a first-person narrative: the adventures of the young couple are recounted by the hero himself. The colorful story Clitophon tells us includes shipwrecks, apparent deaths, attacks by pirates and brigands, abductions, and other frights and obstacles. Love triumphs in the end. Achilles Tatius' style is notable for descriptive detail and for his engaging digressions.

Scholfield, Translator Aelian's Characteristics of Animals is an appealing collection of facts and fables about the animal kingdom that invites the reader to ponder contrasts between human and animal behavior.

Wilson, Translator Aelian's Historical Miscellany (Varia Historia) is a pleasurable example of light reading for Romans of the early third century. Offering engaging anecdotes about historical figures, retellings of legendary events, and enjoyable descriptive pieces, Aelian's collection of nuggets and narratives appealed to a wide reading public. Series No. 486 1997 520 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99535-X Aeneas Tacticus Aeneas Tacitus, Asclepiodotus, and Onasander Illinois Greek Club, Translator Aeneas authored several didactic military works of which the sole survivor is that on defence against siege. Asclepiodotus wrote a rather dry but ordered work on Tactics as if a subject of the lecture room, based not on personal experience but on earlier manuals. Onasander's "The General" deals in plain style with the sort of morals and social and military qualities and attitudes expected of a virtuous and militarily successful general. Series No. 156 544 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99172-9 Aeschines Speeches Charles Darwin Adams, Translated by As examples of Greek oratory the speeches of Aeschines rank next to those of Demosthenes, and are important documents for the study of Athenian diplomacy and inner politics. This volume contains such powerful speeches as Against Timarchus, On the False Embassy, and Against Ctesiphon. Series No. 106 552 pages ISBN 0-674-99118-4 Aeschylus Aeschylus Volume I. Suppliant Maidens. Persians. Prometheus. Seven Against Thebes Herbert Weir Smyth, Translator Of Aeschylus' plays, seven survive complete. The Persians (472), the only surviving Greek historical drama, presents the failure of Xerxes to conquer Greece. Seven against Thebes (467) was the second play of its trilogy of related plays on the evil fate of the Theban House. Polyneices tries to regain Thebes from his brother Eteocles; both are killed. In Suppliant Maidens, the first in a trilogy, the daughters of Danaus arrive with him at Argos, whose King and people save them from the wooing of the sons of their uncle Aegyptus. In Prometheus Bound, first or second play of its trilogy about Prometheus, he is nailed to a crag, by order of Zeus, for stealing fire from heaven for men. Defiant after visitors' sympathy and despite advice, he descends in lightning and thunder to Hell. We publish in Volume I these four plays. Series No. 145 464 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99160-5 Volume II. Agamemnon. Libation-Bearers. Eumenides. Fragments Herbert Weir Smyth, Translator Appendix by: Hugh Lloyd-Jones The Oresteia (458), on the House of Atreus, is the only Greek trilogy surviving complete. In Agamemnon, the King returns from Troy, and is murdered by his wife Clytaemnestra. In Libation-Bearers, Orestes with his sister avenges their father Agamemnon's death by counter-murder. In Eumenides, Orestes, harassed by avenging Furies, is arraigned by them at Athens for matricide. Tried by a court set up by Athena, he is absolved, but the Furies are pacified. We publish in Volume II the Oresteia and some fragments of lost plays. Series No. 146 624 pages Index. Appendix, 1957, by H. Lloyd-Jones: fragments published since 1930 ISBN 0-674-99161-3 Aetna See Minor Latin Poets, I, Publilius Syrus. Elegies on Maecenas. Grattius. Calpurnius Siculus. Laus Pisonis. Einsiedeln Eclogues. Aetna Alcaeus See Greek Lyric, I, Sappho and Alcaeus Alciphron Alciphron, Aelian, and Philostratus The Letters A. R. Benner, Translator F. H. Fobes, Translator Aelian offers us entertaining vignettes of rural life in twenty letters that portray the country ways of their imagined writers. This volume also contains invented letters--mostly to fictitious characters--by Alciphron and, in the same genre, the Erotic Epistles of Philostratus (probably Flavius Philostratus, author of Apollonius of Tyana). Series No. 383 608 pages Indexes ISBN 0-674-99421-3 Ammianus Marcellinus Ammianus Marcellinus Volume I. Roman History, I Books 14-19 J. C. Rolfe, Translator Ammianus was a Greek from Antioch. He served many years as an officer in the Roman army, in Gaul and in campaigns against the Persians, and then settled in Rome, where he wrote his history of the Roman Empire (Res gestae) in Latin--enlivening his Latin style with a touch of the Greek east. The portion of the history that survives covers in wonderful detail a period of 25 years in the historian's own lifetime: the reigns of Constantius, Julian (whom he greatly admired), Jovian, Valentinian I, and Valens. Ammianus's personal experience supplements the variety of reports and archives on which he draws. His is a dramatic narrative, the scene continually shifting from Gaul to Mesopotamia, from Milan to Constantinople. He gives us skillfully crafted portraits of personalities and vivid descriptions of military operations, with all the immediacy of an eyewitness account. Series No. 300 Revised 1950. 640 pages 2 maps, indexes ISBN 0-674-99331-4 Volume II. Roman History, II Books 20-26 J. C.

The Library, I Books 1-3.9 J. G. Frazer, Translator Providing a grand summary of Greek myths and heroic legends, the Library is an essential account of what the Greeks believed about the origin and early history of the world and of the Hellenic people. This treasury of narratives about gods and heroes has been attributed to Apollodorus of Athens (born ca. 180 BCE), but its author probably lived in the 1st or 2nd century of our era. In his highly regarded notes to the Loeb edition J. G. Frazer compares the various forms of these same stories found in different ancient authors. Series No. 121 464 pages ISBN 0-674-99135-4 Volume II. The Library, II Book 3.10-end. Epitome J. G. Frazer, Translator Series No. 122 552 pages ISBN 0-674-99136-2 Apollonius Rhodius Argonautica R. C. Seaton, Translator Apollonius's epic in four books recounts the legend of Jason's expedition on the Argo--the first ship to be built--into unknown territory to capture the prized Golden Fleece from King Aeetes of Colchis. The Argonauts, a band of fifty heroes (including Heracles at the outset, Orpheus, and Peleus), sail from Thessaly, across the Aegean and through the terrifying Clashing Rocks (Symplegades) into the Black Sea to distant Colchis, where--with the help of the King's daughter Medea and her magical gifts--Jason finally succeeds in his mission. The adventures of the homeward journey, by way of the Danube, Po, and Rhone Rivers and Libya, fill the final book. Love is a central theme in Apollonius's heroic tale: the poet tellingly depicts the flowering of Medea's violent passion for Jason. This Hellenistic epic saga reads like an heir to Homer and exerted a profound influence on Virgil's Aeneid as well as on the Latin and Greek romances of the coming centuries. Series No. 1 448 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99001-3 Appian Appian Volume I. Roman History, I Books 1-8.1 Horace White, Translator Appian's history of the rise of Rome is a record of expansion and conquests. In his animated narrative the historian--a Greek from Alexandria--often shows us events from the point of view of the conquered peoples. His accounts of the Spanish, Hannibalic, Punic, Illyrian, Syrian, and Mithradatic wars are in Volumes I and II. Series No. 2 672 pages ISBN 0-674-99002-1 Volume II. Roman History, II Books 8.2-12 Horace White, Translator Series No. 3 496 pages ISBN 0-674-99004-8 Volume III. Roman History, III The Civil Wars, Books 1-3.26 Horace White, Translator Appian's Civil Wars, in Volumes III and IV of the Loeb series, is the only surviving continuous narrative of the period from the Gracchi to the Roman annexation of Egypt. Series No. 4 576 pages ISBN 0-674-99005-6 Volume IV. Roman History, IV The Civil Wars, Books 3.27-5 Horace White, Translator Series No. 5 690 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99006-4 Apuleius Apuleius Volume I. Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass), I Books 1-6 Edited and translated by: J. Arthur Hanson The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, also known as The Golden Ass, is truly enchanting: a delightful romance combining realism and magic. The hero, Lucius, eager to experience the sensations of a bird, resorts to witchcraft, but an unfortunate pharmaceutical error turns him into an ass. The bulk of the novel recounts his adventures as an animal. Lucius also retails many stories he overhears, the most charming being that of Cupid and Psyche; some are as ribald as they are witty. Series No. 44 1989, Revised 1996 392 pages ISBN 0-674-99049-8 Volume II. Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass), II Books 7-11 Edited and translated by: J. Arthur Hanson Series No. 453 384 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99498-1 Aratus See Callimachus, II, Hymns, Epigrams. Alexandra. Phaenomena Archilochus See Greek Iambic Poetry: From the Seventh to the Fifth Centuries BC Aristides Volume 1. Panathenaic Oration. In Defence of Oratory Series No. 458 pages ISBN 0-674-99505-8 Aristophanes Aristophanes Volume I. Acharnians. Knights Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson The general introduction that begins Volume I brings current scholarly insights to bear on the intriguing question of the comic poet as a political force. In Acharnians a small landowner, tired of the Peloponnesian War, magically arranges a personal peace treaty and demonstrates the injustice of war in a contest with the bellicose Acharnians. Also in this volume is Knights, perhaps the most biting satire of a political figure. Series No. 178 416 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99567-8 Volume II. Clouds. Wasps. Peace Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson Socrates' "Thinkery" is at the center of Clouds, which spoofs untraditional techniques for educating young men. Wasps satirizes Athenian enthusiasm for jury service and the law courts as well as the city's susceptibility to demagogues. And Peace, celebrating the end of hostilities between Athens and Sparta, is a rollicking attack on the war-makers. Series No. 488 624 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99537-6 Volume III. Birds. Lysistrata. Women at the Thesmophoria Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson In Birds Aristophanes turns from the pointed political satire characteristic of earlier plays to a fantasy that soars literally into the air and creates a utopian counter-Athens, called Cloudcuckooland, ruled by birds. Lysistrata blends rambunctious comedy and an earnest call for peace. Lysistrata, our first comic heroine, organizes a panhellenic conjugal strike of young wives until their husbands end the war between Athens and Sparta. Athenian women again take center stage in Women at the Thesmophoria, this time to punish Euripides for portraying them as wicked. Parody of Euripides' plots enlivens this witty confrontation of the sexes. Series No. 179 624 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99587-2 Volume IV. Frogs. Assemblywomen. Wealth Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson Frogswas produced in 405 BCE, shortly after the deaths of Sophocles and Euripides. Dionysus, on a journey to the underworld to retrieve Euripides, is recruited to judge a contest between the traditional Aeschylus and the modern Euripides, a contest that yields both comedy and insight on ancient literary taste. In Assemblywomen Athenian women plot to save Athens from male misgovernance. They institute a new social order in which all inequalities based on wealth, age, and beauty are eliminated--with raucously comical results. The gentle humor and straightforward morality of Wealth made it the most popular of Aristophanes' plays from classical times to the Renaissance. Here the god Wealth, cured of his blindness, is newly able to distinguish good people from bad. Series No. 180 608 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99596-1 Volume V. Fragments Edited and translated by: Jeffrey Henderson Over forty plays by Aristophanes were read in antiquity, of which nearly a thousand fragments survive. These provide a fuller picture of the poet's ever astonishing comic vitality and a wealth of information and insights about his world. Henderson's latest volume contains what survives from, and about, his lost plays. Each fragmentary play is prefaced by a summary. Also included in this edition are ancient reports about Aristophanes' life, works, and influence on the later comic tradition. Series No. 502 Originally announced for Spring 06, reannounced for Fall 07. 576 pages ISBN 0-674-99615-1 Aristotle Aristotle Volume I. Categories. On Interpretation. Prior Analytics H. P. Cooke, Translator Hugh Tredennick, Translator Nearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious).

Cornford, Translator Series No. 255 464 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99281-4 Volume VI. On the Heavens W. K. C. Guthrie, Translator Aristotle's account of the outermost sphere of the universe, the stars, the planets (including the sun and moon), the atmosphere, and the spherical earth at rest in the center of the universe is set forth in On the Heavens. Here also Aristotle theorizes about the motion of celestial bodies and what controls it. Discounting the idea, espoused in earlier cosmologies, that the sun and stars are composed of fire, he proposes another explanation for the light they emit. This work is a natural companion to Meteorologica. Series No. 338 416 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99372-1 Volume VII. Meteorologica H. D. P. Lee, Translator In Meteorologica, an investigation of "things aloft," Aristotle studies the stars, comets, winds, the lower atmostphere; he then proceeds to an account of related phenomena: weather, tides, earthquakes, climatic changes. The last book is concerned with chemical change and the properties of matter. Ten diagrams illustrate the text and a map summarizes Aristotle's views on the habitable zones of the earth.

History of Animals Books 1-3 A. L. Peck, Translator In History of Animals Aristotle analyzes "differences"--in parts, activities, modes of life, and character--across the animal kingdom, in preparation for establishing their causes, which are the concern of his other zoological works. Over 500 species of animals are considered: shellfish, insects, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals--including human beings. In Books I-IV Aristotle gives a comparative survey of internal and external body parts, including tissues and fluids, and of sense faculties and voice.

The "Art" of Rhetoric J. H. Freese, Translator Series No. 193 544 pages Glossary, indexes ISBN 0-674-99212-1 Volume XXIII. Poetics. On the Sublime. On Style Stephen Halliwell, Translator W. Hamilton Fyfe, Translator Revised by: Donald A. Russell Doreen C. Innes, Translator From an idea by: W. Rhys Roberts Stephen Halliwell makes newly accessible one of the most influential and widely cited works in the history of literary theory and criticism. Aristotle's Poetics contains his treatment of Greek tragedy: its history, nature, and conventions, with details on poetic diction. This is the only edition of this central work in which readers can find, side by side, a reliable Greek text, a translation that is both accurate and readable, and notes that explain allusions and key ideas. Halliwell's Introduction traces the work's debt to earlier theorists (especially Plato), its distinctive argument, and the reasons behind its enduring relevance. Also included in the volume are two central post-Aristotelian treatises on literary style: On the Sublime, a discussion of distinguished style (with illustrative passages) probably written in the 1st century CE; and On Style, a valuable guide to the Greek theory of styles that dates perhaps as early as the 2nd century BCE. For this new version of Volume XXIII of the Loeb Classical Library® Aristotle edition, Fyfe's translation of On the Sublime has been retained but judiciously revised by Donald Russell. Doreen C. Innes' fresh reading of On Style is based on the earlier translation by Roberts. The new Introductions and notes by Russell and Innes reflect today's scholarship.

Iliff Robson, Translator Arrian's Anabasis of Alexander is the fullest ancient account of Alexander the Great's conquests and long admired for its absorbing presentation and readable style.

Series No. 239 592 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99264-4 Aulus Gellius Aulus Gellius Volume I. Attic Nights, I Books 1-5 J. C. Rolfe, Translator An engaging writer of the Antonine period, Aulus Gellius was a man of wide interests and great admiration for Greek culture. His Attic Nights is a collection of absorbing short chapters about notable events, words and questions of literary style, lives of historical figures, points of law, and philosophical issues that served as instructive light reading for the cultivated Roman. The work's title derives simply from the fact that Gellius began to write these pieces during stays in Athens. Variety adds to the charm of the miscellany: the author makes use of reminiscence as a literary form, dramatizations, character sketches, dialogues, extensive quotations from other writers (many from works now lost). He was long considered a model of the perennial humanist. Series No. 195 528 pages Indexes ISBN 0-674-99215-6 Volume II. Attic Nights, II Books 6-13 J. C.

Evelyn-White, Translator Ausonius' surviving works, some with deep feeling, some composed it seems for fun, some didactic, include much poetry: poems about himself and family, notably "The Daily Round"; epitaphs on heroes in the Trojan War, memorials on Roman emperors, and epigrams on various subjects; poems about famous cities and about friends and colleagues. "The Moselle," a description of that river, is among the most admired of his poems. There is also an address of thanks to Gratian for the consulship.

Deferrari, Translator Basil the Great was born into a family noted for piety. He visited monasteries in Egypt and Palestine and sought out the most famous hermits in Syria and elsewhere to learn how to lead a pious and ascetic life; but he decided that communal monastic life and work were best. About 360 he founded in Pontus a convent to which his sister and widowed mother belonged. Ordained a presbyter in 365, in 370 he succeeded Eusebius in the archbishopric of Caesarea, which included authority over all Pontus. Even today his reform of monastic life in the east is the basis of modern Greek and Slavonic monasteries. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Basil's Letters is in four volumes.

King, Translator Bede's theological works were chiefly commentaries, mostly allegorical in method, based with acknowledgment on Jerome, Augustine, Ambrose, Gregory, and others, but bearing his own personality. In another class were works on grammar and one on natural phenomena; special interest in the vexed question of Easter led him to write about the calendar and chronology. But his most admired production is his Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation. Here a clear and simple style united with descriptive powers to produce an elegant work, and the facts diligently collected from good sources make it a valuable account. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Bede's historical works is in two volumes. Historical also are his Lives of the Abbots of his monastery, the less successful accounts (in verse and prose) of Cuthbert, and the Letter (November 734) to Egbert his pupil, so important for our knowledge about the Church in Northumbria.

Mair, Translator The division of the sky into named star constellations that has come down to us is the work of Eudoxus (ca. 390-340 BCE), who codified and extended earlier Greek and Mesopotamian systems. Eudoxus's work itself has not survived, but is captured in the Phaenomena of Aratus. The first and longest part of Phaenomena is a versification of Eudoxus's treatise, giving a detailed description of the constellations and their relative positions. This naturally leads to a section on weather signs (based perhaps on Theophrastus's Concerning Weather Signs). Aratus's poem was among the most widely read in antiquity and was one of the few Greek poems translated into Arabic. This volume also contains the Hymns and Epigrams of Callimachus and the monodrama Alexandra attributed to Lycophron.

Ash, Translator A dominant political and military figure in Rome in the second century BCE, Cato was also a notable historian and preeminent orator, a constant champion of traditional Roman virtues. Only fragments of orations and of his history remain. His sole surviving work, De Agricultura, is our earliest complete Latin prose text. Here he addresses the man with money to invest, strongly recommending farming for its security and profitability. He gives instructions and advice for efficient management of labor and resources. His down-to-earth style is enlivened by folk wisdom and rustic enthusiasms. This volume also includes Varro's Res Rustica. Varro was considered the most learned Roman of his time. His Res rustica (37 BCE), however, is not a practical treatise but attractive instruction about agricultural life meant for prosperous country gentlemen. Its dialogue form, with several participants, allows for good characterization, amusing stories, and striking observations. Series No. 283 576 pages Indexes ISBN 0-674-99313-6 Catullus Catullus.

Rhetorical Treatises Rhetorica ad Herennium Harry Caplan, Translator Cicero, Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes. Series No. 403 496 pages Indexes ISBN 0-674-99444-2 Volume II. Rhetorical Treatises On Invention. The Best Kind of Orator.

Vividly informative too is Cicero's correspondence with Brutus dating from the spring of 43 BCE, which conveys the drama of the period following the assassination of Julius Caesar. These are now made available in a new Loeb Classical Library edition. Shackleton Bailey also provides in this volume a new text and translation of two invective speeches purportedly delivered in the Senate; these are probably anonymous ancient schoolbook exercises but have long been linked with the works of Sallust and Cicero. The Letter to Octavian, ostensibly by Cicero but probably dating from the third or fourth century CE, is included as well. Here too is the "Handbook of Electioneering," a guide said to be written by Quintus to his brother, an interesting treatise on Roman elections.

A panegyric on the brothers Probinus and Olybrius (consuls together in 395) was followed during ten years by other poems (mostly epics in hexameters): in praise of consulships of Honorius (395, 398, 404 CE); against the Byzantine ministers Rufinus (396) and Eutropius (399); in praise of the consulship (400) of Stilicho (Honorius's guardian, general, and minister); in praise of Stilicho's wife Serena; mixed metres on the marriage of Honorius to their daughter Maria; on the war with the rebel Gildo in Africa (398); on the consulship of Manlius Theodorus (399).

Butterworth, Translator A key figure in early Christianity and its reaction to Hellenic culture, Clement (born probably 150 CE in Athens) had a wide knowledge of Greek literature--as his frequent quotations of Homer, Hesiod, the playwrights, and Platonic and Stoic philosophers attest. His "Exhortation to the Greeks"--in which he calls on the Greeks to give up their gods and turn to Christ--shows familiarity with the mystery cults. Along with the "Exhortation" this volume presents "The Rich Man's Salvation," a homily that offers a glimpse of Clement's public teaching.

Especially notable is the way he brings life to speeches by use of vivid detail. The first of the seven volumes of the Demosthenes edition contains nine famous speeches in which he attempted to rouse athenian alarm about Macedonian ambitions: the three Olynthiacs, the four Philippics, On the Peace, and On the Chersonese.

Dio's history of the 24-year reign of Antoninus Pius has not survived. But we have portions of his accounts of Marcus Aurelius (Books 71-72) and Commodus (Books 73-74), a slim record but essential since so little else about this period has come down to us. Series No. 177 592 pages General index ISBN 0-674-99196-6 Dio Chrysostom Dio Chrysostom Volume I. Discourses 1-11 J. W. Cohoon, Translator Dio Chrysostomus was a skilled rhetorician hostile to philosophers. Nearly all of Dio's extant Discourses (or Orations) reflect political concerns (the most important of them dealing with affairs in Bithynia and affording valuable details about conditions in Asia Minor) or moral questions (mostly written in later life; they contain much of his best writing). Some philosophical and historical works, including one on the Getae, are lost. What survives of his achievement as a whole makes him prominent in the revival of Greek literature in the last part of the first century and the first part of the second. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Dio Chrysostom is in five volumes. Series No. 257 592 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99283-0 Volume II. Discourses 12-30 J. W.

Roman Antiquities, I Books 1-2 Earnest Cary, Translator The Roman Antiquities of Dionysius of Halicarnassus began to appear in 7 BCE. Dionysius states that his objects in writing history were to please lovers of noble deeds and to repay the benefits he had enjoyed in Rome. But he wrote also to reconcile Greeks to Roman rule. Of the 20 books of Roman Antiquities (from the earliest times to 264 BCE) we have the first 9 complete; most of 10 and 11; and later extracts and an epitome of the whole. Dionysius studied the best available literary sources (mainly annalistic and other historians) and possibly some public documents. Series No. 319 608 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99352-7 Volume II.

Thucydides Stephen Usher, Translator Dionysius of Halicarnassus' purpose was to re-establish the classical Attic standards of purity, invention and taste in order to reassert the primacy of Greek as the literary language of the Mediterranean world. His critical essays on the Attic Orators and on the historian Thucydides represent an important development from the somewhat mechanical techniques of rhetorical handbooks to a more sensitive criticism of individual authors. Illustrating his analysis with well-chosen examples, Dionysius preserves a number of important fragments of Lysias and Isaeus. The essays on those two orators and on Isocrates, Demosthenes and Thucydides comprise Volume I of this edition. Series No. 465 688 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99512-0 Volume IX. Critical Essays, II On Literary Composition. Dinarchus. Letters to Ammaeus and Pompeius Stephen Usher, Translator Volume II contains three letters to his students; a short essay on the orator Dinarchus; and his finest work, the essay On Literary Composition, which combines rhetoric, grammar and criticism in a manner unique in ancient literature.

Oldfather, Translator Like the early Stoics, Epictetus (ca 55-135 CE) taught the importance of control over one's own mind and will; since happiness must not depend on things one cannot control, the virtuous person should aspire to become independent of external circumstances. The brotherhood of man is also central to his teaching, reflecting the Stoic belief that there is a spark of divinity in everyone. Unlike his predecessors, Epictetus, who grew up as a slave, taught not for the select few but for the many and the humble. This two-volume edition contains the extant record of his lectures--in lively and informal style--as well as the Manual or Encheiridion, a summary of Epictetus's thought by the historian Arrian, a student of his.

Eunapius: Lives of the Philosophers and Sophists Euripides Euripides Volume I. Cyclops. Alcestis. Medea Edited and translated by: David Kovacs One of antiquity's greatest poets, Euripides (ca. 485-406 BCE) has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, surprising plot twists, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. He wrote nearly ninety plays, of which eighteen have come down to us (plus a play of unknown authorship long included with his works). In this new Loeb Classical Library edition of Euripides, David Kovacs presents a freshly edited Greek text and an accurate and graceful translation with explanatory notes. Cyclops is a satyr play, the only complete example of this genre to survive. Alcestis tells the story of a woman who agrees--in order to save her husband's life--to die in his place. Medea is the quintessential tragedy of revenge: Medea kills her own children, as well as their father's new wife, to punish him for desertion. Series No. 12 432 pages ISBN 0-674-99560-0 Volume II. Children of Heracles. Hippolytus. Andromache. Hecuba Edited and translated by: David Kovacs Hippolytus has been judged to be one of Euripides' masterpieces. Hecuba and Andromache recreate the tragic stories of two noble Trojan women after their city's fall. Children of Heracles celebrates an incident long a source of Athenian pride: the city's protection of the sons and daughters of the dead Heracles. Series No. 484 528 pages ISBN 0-674-99533-3 Volume III. Suppliant Women. Electra. Heracles Edited and translated by: David Kovacs Centering on the right of proper burial for those fallen in battle, Suppliant Women reflects on war and on the rule of law. In Electra Euripides gives us his version of the famous legend of the murder of Clytaemestra by her children in revenge for her killing their father--a portrayal interestingly different from that in Sophocles' Electra. Narrating sudden reversals in the hero's fortunes, Heracles testifies to the fragility of human happiness. Series No. 9 464 pages ISBN 0-674-99566-X Volume IV. Trojan Women. Iphigenia among the Taurians. Ion Edited and translated by: David Kovacs Trojan Women, a play about the causes and consequences of war, develops the theme of the tragic unpredictability of life. Iphigenia among the Taurians and Ion exhibit tragic themes and situations (the murder of close relatives); each ends happily with a joyful reunion. Series No. 10 520 pages ISBN 0-674-99574-0 Volume V. Helen. Phoenician Women. Orestes Edited and translated by: David Kovacs In this fifth volume of the new Loeb Classical Library Euripides, in Helen the poet employs an alternative history in which a virtuous Helen never went to Troy but spent the war years in Egypt, falsely blamed for the adulterous behavior of her divinely created double in Troy. This volume also includes Phoenician Women, Euripides' treatment of the battle between the sons of Oedipus for control of Thebes; and Orestes, a novel retelling of Orestes' lot after he murdered his mother, Clytaemestra. Each play is annotated and prefaced by a helpful introduction. Series No. 11 624 pages ISBN 0-674-99600-3 Volume VI. Bacchae. Iphigenia at Aulis. Rhesus Edited and translated by: David Kovacs This volume completes the new six-volume Loeb Classical Library edition of Euripides's plays. David Kovacs presents a faithful and skillfully worded translation of the three plays, facing a freshly edited Greek text.

Ecclesiastical History, I Books 1-5 Kirsopp Lake, Translator This history of the Christian Church from the ministry of Jesus to 324 is a treasury of information, especially on the Eastern centers. Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea from about 315, was the most important writer in the age of Constantine. His narrative account incorporates a chronicle of the writings and teachings of Christian thinkers, who appear both as literary figures and as witnesses to historical events.

Forster, Translator Florus wrote, in brief pointed rhetorical style, a summary of Roman history (especially wars) in two books in order to show the greatness and decline of Roman morals. It is based chiefly on Livy. It was perhaps planned to reach his own times, but the extant work ends with Augustus's reign (30 BCE–14 CE). This Epitome is a useful rapid sketch of Roman military history. Series No. 231 400 pages Index ISBN 0-674-99254-7 Florus See Minor Latin Poets, II, Florus. Hadrian. Nemesianus. Reposianus.

McElwain, Translator The two sides of Frontinus' public career are reflected in his two surviving works. 'Strategemata', Stratagems, written after 84, gives examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, for the instruction of Roman officers, in three books; the fourth book is concerned largely with military discipline. 'De Aquis urbis Romae', The Aqueducts of Rome, written in 97–98, gives some historical details and a description of the aqueducts for the water supply of the city, with laws relating to them. Frontinus aimed at being useful and writes in a rather popular style which is both simple and clear.

Brock, Translator If the work of Hippocrates is taken as representing the foundation upon which the edifice of historical Greek medicine was reared, then the work of Galen, who lived some six hundred years later, may be looked upon as the summit of the same edifice. Galen's merit is to have crystallised or brought to a focus all the best work of the Greek medical schools which had preceded his own time. It is essentially in the form of Galenism that Greek medicine was transmitted to after ages.
