Judul : Cleopatra - A Sourcebook
Oleh : Prudence J. Jones
Bahasa : English
Juml. Hal. : 363
Sinopsis : THIS BOOK GREW OUT of a course Julia Gaisser and I developed at Bryn Mawr College on Cleopatra and the reception of her image.
When I was teaching the course at Rutgers University, John Drayton of the University of Oklahoma Press offered me the opportunity to write a sourcebook on Cleopatra. This book is the resource I imagined having while teaching those courses.
The book does not claim to be an exhaustive collection of sources on Cleopatra (such a work would fill many volumes); rather, it aims to present, in its first part, the historical Cleopatra through selected ancient sources, and, in its second part, some examples of Cleopatra as she has been reimagined in various periods and cultures. The brief introductions to the passages aim to place the sources in context, both the context in which the texts were written and the context of Cleopatra’s story. Translations are my own, except where noted.
Cleopatra’s story contains many characters. The glossary contains names that appear in several passages. I have used the familiar forms of names wherever possible (i.e., Mark Antony rather than Marcus Antonius). I refer to Augustus as Octavian, because that is the name appropriate to the period of his life covered in this book. There are, however, some instances in which the ancient sources refer to him as Caesar or as Augustus.
