Gods and Mortals in Greek and Latin Poetry
is a tribute to Jenny Strauss Clay in recognition of her scholarly
achievements and of the guidance, inspiration, and friendship she has
generously given to her students and colleagues over her long and
distinguished career. The volume opens with Diane Svarlien’s English
translation of Horace’s Odes 3. 27, Daniel Mendelsohn’s vivid
memoir of Clay’s mentorship, and Ward Briggs’ biography and bibliography.
It continues with thirteen scholarly essays that respond to Clay’s main
scholarly interests. Nancy Felson, Lucia Athanassaki, Zoe Stamatopoulou,
David Kovacs, Athanassios Vergados, Thomas K. Hubbard, Anatole Mori, Benjamin
Jasnow, Daniel Barber, Blanche Conger McCune, Stephen C. Smith, Christopher
Nappa, and John F. Miller explore a wide range of aspects of the
representation and interaction of gods and mortals in Greek and Latin poetry,
topics to which Jenny Strauss Clay has repeatedly come back.
