Abu Nuwas
Abu Nuwas al-Hasan ibn Hanı al-Hakami (756-814 CE) stands as one of the most influential and stylistically daring poets of the classical Arabic tradition. A key figure of the Abbasid era, his verse exemplifies the linguistic refinement, cultural dynamism, and literary experimentation of the Islamic Golden Age.Born in Ahvaz and active in the vibrant intellectual milieu of 8th-century Baghdad, Ab羹 Nuwas became renowned for his mastery of Arabic poetics across diverse genres-including love poetry (ghazal) and wine poetry (khamriyya). His works, shaped by a hedonistic sensibility and complex relationship with courtly life, both reflected and subverted the cultural norms of his time. Patronised by caliphs such as Harun al-Rashid and al-Amin, he wielded language with a wit and boldness that continue to provoke scholarly inquiry.This selection presents a curated collection of his most representative poems in the original Arabic language together with my English translation, offering insight into themes of desire, indulgence, and the human condition. Accompanied by contextual commentary, Ab羹 Nuwas: Selected Poems of Love, Wine and Life invites readers to engage critically with the legacy of a poet whose voice resonates far beyond the confines of his era. Joyce ?kesson is the author of Love Poetry from the Desert: Majnun Leyla and many books on Arabic linguistics.

Praise and Blame in Greek Tragedy
Exploring the use of praise and blame in Greek tragedy in relation to heroic identity, Kate Cook demonstrates that the distribution of praise and blame, a significant social function of archaic and classical poetry, also plays a key role in Greek tragedy. Both concepts are a central part of the discourse surrounding the identity of male heroic figures in tragedy, and thus are essential for understanding a range of tragedies in their literary and social contexts. In the tragic genre, the destructive or dangerous aspects of the process of kleos (glory) are explored, and the distribution of praise and blame becomes a way of destabilising identity and conflict between individuals in democratic Athens. The first half of this book shows the kinds of conflicts generated by 'heroes' who seek after one kind of praise in tragedy, but face other characters or choruses who refuse to grant the praise discourses they desire. The second half examines what happens when female speakers engage in the production of these discourses, particularly the wives and mothers of heroic figures, who often refuse to contribute to the production of praise and positive kleos for these men. Praise and Blame in Greek Tragedy therefore demonstrates how a focus on this poetically significant topic can generate new readings of well-known tragedies, and develops a new approach to both male heroic identity and women's speech in tragedy.

On the Non-Existent
Gorgias was one of the earliest Sophists, famous for his flowery rhetorical style, which we see in two of his three surviving works. But On the Non-Existent, his third surviving work, is very different, written in a dense, philosophical style. The introduction to this book explains that we can understand the work as a parody of the Eleatics. Among the earliest of the pre-Socratic philosophers, the Eleatics believed that the world we perceived was an illusion, and all that really existed was an unchanging, eternal world that they called "the One." The Sophists believed the opposite, that there is no transcendent, eternal truth, that we cannot know anything beyond what we perceive, and that everyone's subjective perceptions are equally valid. To parody the Eleatics' arguments that the world we perceive does not exist, Gorgias comes up with similar proofs that nothing exists. Little survives from pre-Socratic philosophy, so this book adds significantly to our understanding of the Eleatics. Toward the end, Gorgias also talks about subjective perception, adding significantly to our understanding of the Sophists. On the Non-Existent survives in two summaries, one by Sextus Empiricus and one by Pseudo-Aristotle. For the first time, this text creates a text that combines these two summaries, the most complete text available of the work. In addition, it includes the two source texts on facing pages, laid out so the equivalent points in the two texts are across from each other, making it easy for readers to compare the source texts for themselves. It also adds subheadings, making it easier to follow the argument of the texts.

Fortress of Steel
A new thrilling adventure series set in Ancient Rome! For fans of Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow. Could an unruly band of slaves and thieves prove to be the toughest legion serving Rome...? Rome, AD 59 When the son of his commanding officer is taken prisoner, young centurion Marcus Corvo is tasked with recruiting men from the underbelly of the Empire to rescue him. Corvo sets about scouring the gladiatorial arenas, prisons and slave markets, for men desperate and tough enough to join him on what is likely to be a suicide mission. The quest will take them to the eastern fringes of the Empire where the prisoner is being held in Armenia. Corvo attempts to mould his recruits into a cohesive fighting force, but long before they are ready they are ordered to leave. In a land where brother fights brother, and where Corvo and his men could easily be mistaken for the enemy or deserters, Corvo must keep his wits about him as they cross hostile land. Can Corvo keep his wilful legion of men in line? Will they work together to complete the task? Or will the journey prove too perilous for even the most hardened men of Rome...? FORTRESS OF STEEL is the first book in the Legion of the Damned Roman Thrillers series: action-packed, authentic historical military adventures set in Ancient Rome.

Suetonius: Life of Julius Caesar
Suetonius' Life of Julius Caesar (Vita Divi Iuli in the original Latin) deals with one of the best known of all Romans. His highly colourful account of Caesar's life begins a series of twelve Lives of Rome's first emperors (Caesars) and describes how Caesar was the gods' means of ending the Roman Republic and of introducing a new form of government. Suetonius presents a picture of a man who was driven in pursuit of power and honour, even initiating a bloody civil war to protect his own interests. Although Caesar was famously assassinated on the Ides of March 44 BC, his ultimate status was that of a god, Divus Iulius, as which he is celebrated by Suetonius. Wardle's volume provides a new translation of the Life with a full introduction and commentary on the events it describes. The volume discusses both the historical and the historiographical aspects of the Life, what we believe happened and what Suetonius says happened; it relates Suetonius' distinctive approach to life-writing to other examples from Greek and Roman authors and shows how the Life is a carefully constructed literary artefact rather than the styleless conglomeration of facts it has often been considered to be. Suetonius' account makes use of material written by Caesar's contemporaries as he rose to pre-eminence and reflects how subsequent generations, living and writing under the system that Suetonius for one believed he initiated, themselves imagined Caesar.
Ilias Latina
The Ilias Latina, the title coined by Emil Baehrens in his 1881 edition, is a condensed version of Homer's Iliad spanning 1,070 verses of Latin hexameter. It was likely composed during the latter part of the principate of Nero (c. AD 60-65). The poem has long suffered the scholarly status of second-order poetry, the sort of imitative, 'translation' work that a Roman might compose at the beginning of his literary career. The poem's chief legacy--as a medieval school text that acquainted a Greek-less audience with Homer--has done little to assist its literary reputation. More recent times, however, have seen a greater appreciation for the literary, cultural, and political significance of Latin translation of Greek works. More specifically, there is now a growing awareness that the Ilias Latina is a sophisticated enterprise in its own right: the poem is a Roman appropriation of Homer's Iliad, reinterpreted through Rome's own national epic, Virgil's Aeneid, and recalibrated to fit the artistic and political sensibilities of the early imperial age. This book includes introductory chapters, Latin text, English translation, and detailed verse-by-verse commentary on the poem. The translation is the first to appear in English in a major, mainstream press. The commentary, also the first to appear in English, takes on board the full range of international scholarship and provides new insights into the poem's intricacies and creative engagement with Homer and the Roman poets.
