Aeschylean metaphors for intellectual activity. Hermes. Zeitschrift f�r Klassische Philologie, Enzelschriften: 35.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Guter Allgemeinzustand. Einband etwas berieben, Buchschnitt und Seiten stellenweise fleckig / Good overall condition. Binding somewhat worn, book cut and pages partially spotted. - PREFACE Thirty years ago Friedrich Solmsen wrote, �To describe intellectual activities and qualities Aischylos has - fortunately - no technical terms, but he has a wealth of impressive images and, to use the ill-suited word, metaphors�, and further, �The physical imagery employed by Aischylos - and other early poets - to describe the activities of the mind might some day prove a good subject for a monograph�. If the promise of so excellent a subject is at all fulfilled in what follows, it is due in no small degree to the guiding hand (and �all-seeing eye�) of Professor Solmsen, whose assistance has been warmly appreciated and is here gratefully acknowledged. This work represents a slightly revised version of a doctoral dissertation written at the University of Wisconsin in 1972. In addition to Professor Solmsen, under whose supervision the work was written, I should like to thank Emmett L. Bennett, Jr. and Paul Plass of the University of Wisconsin, who read the dissertation and whose comments prompted me to reconsider and, in several instances, to revise. I am grateful also to the Research Board of the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for providing funds which made possible the publication of this book. Finally, I wish to record my appreciation for the kind help and many suggestions given by Hermann Gundert, editor of this series, whose death while this work was in press is very much regretted.
