This book focuses for the first time on the 'Odyssey''s reception in late antiquity, the period that witnesses the transformation of classical culture into the world of the middle ages. The epic?s late antique pictorial reception was a selective one. Artists represented but a small canon of topics: Odysseus? encounter with the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, with the dangerous sorceress Circe, with the bewitching song of the Sirens, and with Scylla the man-eater; a handful of iconographically diverse depictions can be related to the hero?s return to Ithaca that never attracted as much attention as Odysseus' adventures in the course of the wandering. In all cases, the book stresses the close relation between viewer, or context of reception, and specific form of artistic rendering. Depending on context and intended viewer, Odysseus e.g. can be characterized as a person with whom the man in the street can identify, as a problematic and ridiculous figure, or as an example of virtue. Almost all late antique depictions of Odysseus? wanderings have been found - and produced - in the Western provinces of the Roman Empire. In the course of Roman antiquity, the Greek hero and his wanderings had become what they are still: a part of Western cultural identity.00The 'Odyssey''s late antique literary reception was much more multifaceted than the artistic one, as regards topics and geography. In this book, though, the focus will be on those topics that were dealt with in the visual arts, too. Contrasting the late antique pictorial reception with the literary one, and contrasting both with the Homeric epic, reveals the originality of late antiquity's artists and writers.von Susanne MorawFriedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Habilitationsschrift, 2015Homerus <Odyssea>RezeptionSpätantikeHEB456686452978-2-503-58379-2HT020444133Studies in classical archaeologyVolume 7HT019475392http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032031994&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA5/800059000T Kg Moraw6/24800016004XVII Mo 67086102antd42332.m8316/15120200504141772001rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D141772001+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1062419 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1062419/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1062419
