The fragments of the Gigantias. 520 8 $a The epic poet Dionysius, who probably flourished in the first century CE, is a key transitional figure in the history of Greek poetry, sharing stylistic and thematic tendencies with both the learned Hellenistic tradition and the monumental epic poetry of the later Roman period. His Bassarica is the earliest known poem on the conquest of India by the god Dionysus and was an important model of Nonnus' Dionysiaca. His Gigantias related the battle of the giants against the Olympian gods and legends surrounding it, with particular focus on the figure of Heracles. This is the most comprehensive edition to date of his poetry, expanding the number of fragments available and providing a more reliable text based on a fresh inspection of the papyri. The volume includes a substantial introduction contextualising the poetry, a facing English translation of the text, and a detailed linguistic and literary commentary. 600 00 $a Dionysus $c (Greek deity) $v Poetry. 600 00 $a Dionysius $c (Epic poet) $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 07 $a Dionysus $c (Greek deity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894082 650 0 $a Gigantomachy (Greek mythology) $v Poetry. 650 7 $a Gigantomachy (Greek mythology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942687 655 7 $a Epic poetry. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Epic poetry, Greek. 655 4 $a Epic poetry, Greek $v Translations into English. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Epic poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726596 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423828 700 02 $i Container of (expression): $a Dionysius $c (Epic poet). $t Bassarika. $k Fragments. $l English $s (Benaissa) 700 02 $i Container of (expression): $a Dionysius $c (Epic poet). $t Bassarika. $k Fragments. $l Greek $s (Benaissa) 700 02 $i Container of (expression): $a Dionysius $c (Epic poet). $t Gigantias. $k Fragments. $l English $s (Benaissa) 700 02 $i Container of (expression): $a Dionysius $c (Epic poet). $t Gigantias. $k Fragments. $l Greek $s (Benaissa) 700 1 $a Benaissa, A., $e translator. $e translator. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Dionysius $c (Epic poet) $t Dionysius : the epic fragments. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom : Cambridge University Press, 2018. $z 9781316831786 $w (OCoLC)1023525109 830 0 $a Cambridge classical texts and commentaries ; $v 56. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116030240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A46513BE580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
