Description
Die Idee zu diesem Buch ging aus einer Lehrveranstaltung 1998 / 1999 am Philologischen Seminar der Universität Tübingen hervor. Alle vorgelegten Texte sind im griechischen Original und in deutscher Übersetzung enthalten. Es beginnt mit zwei Texten über das Verfassen von Epitaphien, einem aus Menander Rhetors Buch über epideiktische Reden, einem aus der Redekunst des Pseudo-Dionysios. Es folgen acht Totenreden der klassischen Zeit, nämlich der Panegyrikos des Isokrates, Gegen Leokrates von Lykurg, der Menexenos von Platon, Fragmente 5A, 5B und 6 von Gorgias, Epitaphien von Lysias, Demosthenes und Hypereides sowie die Grabrede des Perikles von Thukydides. Als drittes folgt ein Kapitel zu Aelius Aristides, seinem Leben und Werk sowie seinen Begräbnisreden auf Eteoneus und Alexander, die mit Text und Erläuterungen vorgelegt werden. Aristides ist einer der antiken Autoren, dessen Leben am genauesten bekannt ist. Er stammte aus Mysien und wird der sog. Zweiten Sophistik des 2. Jhs. n.Chr. zugerechnet. Den Abschluß bilden ein Sach- und Namensregister sowie ein Stellenindex.
The idea of this publication was born during a University seminar at the Philological Institute of Tübingen University in 1998 / 1999. All presented texts are contained in the original Greek version and in German translation. The book begins with two texts on the writing of epitaphs, one from Menander Rhetor's book on epideictic speeches, one from the Art of Rhetoric by Pseudo-Dionysios. This is followed by eight funerary speeches of the Classical period, namely the panegyric of Isocrates, Against Leocrates by Lycurgus, the Menexenos by Plato, fragments 5A, 5B, and 6 by Gorgias, and epitaphs by Lysias, Demosthenes, and Hypereides as well as the funerary speech of Pericles by Thucydides. The third part is a chapter on Aelius Aristides, his life and works as well as his funerary speeches on Eteoneus and Alexander, which are published with text and commentary. Aristides is on the antique authors, whose life is best known. He was born in Mysia and is counted a member of the so-called Second Sophistic Movement of the 2nd century A.D. The volume ends with indices of subjects, names, and quoted passages.
