The recent discovery of fragments from such novels as Iolaos, Phoinikika, Sesonchosis, and Metiochos and Parthenope has dramatically increased the library catalogue of ancient novels, calling for a fresh survey of the field. In this volume Susan Stephens and John Winkler have reedited all of the identifiable novel fragments, including the epitomes of Iamblichos' Babyloniaka and Antonius Diogenes' Incredible Things Beyond Thule. Intended for scholars as well as nonspecialists, this work provides new editions of the texts, full translations whenever possible, and introductions that situate each text within the field of ancient fiction and that present relevant background material, literary parallels, and possible lines of interpretation.
Collective reading of the fragments exposes the inadequacy of many currently held assumptions about the ancient novel, among these, for example, the paradigm for a linear, increasingly complex narrative development, the notion of the "ideal romantic" novel as the generic norm, and the nature of the novel's readership and cultural milieu. Once perceived as a late and insignificant development, the novel emerges as a central and revealing cultural phenomenon of the Greco-Roman world after Alexander. Originally published in 1995.

Elaine Fantham provides here a fresh Latin text of Seneca's Traodes and an English version, with an extensive introduction and critical commentary--the first separate treatment of the play in English since Kingery's 1908 edition. Arguing that the Troades was not intended for stage production, the author also discusses the atmosphere of Rome at the time the play was written, when both political and poetic life were felt to be in decline. Although Seneca's plays reflect his experience of tyranny, corruption, and compromise, they are enriched by his contract with the nobler world of poetry. Demonstrating how Seneca loved and imitated the Augustan poets, Professor Fantham reveals the originality that is part of his imitation. Professor Fantham discusses not only the particular characteristics of Seneca's generation but the interplay of his moral and poetic concerns in relationship to his subject--the Trojan captivity.By analyzing his reactions to accounts of this theme in Homer, Euripides, and Augustan epic, she explains his methods and motives in composition. Comparison of the play with Seneca's other works and with other drama exposes some inconsistency, formulaic writing, and excess of ingenuity. It also reveals the influence of epic in loosening his dramtic form and makes apparent his immense vitality. Elaine Fantham is Professor of Classics at the University of Toronto and author of Comparative Studies in the Republican Latin Imagery (Toronto).

The commentary on Aristotle's "On Generation and Corruption" (Kitab al-kawn wa-l-fasad, lat. De generatione et corruptione) by Ibn Bagga has attracted scant attention so far. This happened primarily for two reasons. The first one is the complicated nature of the Aristotelian text, which addresses a number of key notions in Aristotle’s physics, but at a high level of abstraction. The second reason is that Ibn Bagga's commentaries in general have been eclipsed in subsequent scholarship by the commentaries of Averroes (Arabic: Ibn Rusd). Nevertheless, the importance of Ibn Bagga's commentaries in Averroes' thought is undeniable. The latter extensively quotes from Ibn Bagga's works, adopts his ideas or rejects them. More importantly, Ibn Bagga's commentary is interesting in its own right, inasmuch as it quite often, instead of merely following Aristotle, presents different examples and develops ideas of its own.
The extant parts of Ibn Bagga's commentary are preserved in two manuscripts and comprise a consecutive exposition of the contents of the two books of De generatione et corruptione. The present critical edition provides for the first time a study of the structure of the commentary from the available witnesses. It reproduces the original in such a way that the reader will be able not only to assess the judgments made by the editor but also to reconstruct the two source manuscripts from the edited text.
