Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book lists all the similes in the Bible in three different versions (Greek, Latin and English), noting especially the variation in the use of introductory words (protheses). There are over 1000 examples, not counting the predicate and genitive versions, a significant collection.The Introduction discusses the parts and types of similes as well as other similar figures of speech (e.g., analogies, comparisons and metaphors); examples are provided of prothetic (prosthesis expressed: he runs like a panther) and non-prothetic types (prothesis implied: he is [like] a lion in savagery). The Conclusion points out various aspects of Biblical usage, some differing from those in classical Greek authors (Homer and Plato). The importance of similes in clarifying difficult concepts while adding grace to the narrative accounts for their popularity in philosophical and religious writers.

Bibliography. - Introduction: Scholars have offered many interpretations of Thucydides' meaning, ranging from conclusions censuring his misrepresentation and asserting that the speeches are purely literary compositions to the defenses of those who believe the speeches stand approximately as they were originally delivered. Neither extreme has been generally accepted as adequate. Thucydides' passion for clarity and accuracy has impressed readers too deeply to allow many to believe that he would deliberately falsify. The inclusion of certain speeches which have more than one speaker, on the other hand, suggests that Thucydides sometimes combined the central ideas of several different speeches in a single speech. It seems reasonable to believe with Finley that the speeches of Thucydides are more compressed than their originals. Most scholars would agree that their language and style are Thucydides' own, even though he may include occasional phrases and linguistic characteristics of the original speakers. It has been shown that even the style would not be uncommon for the statesmen of this period.The most significant fact, however, that throws doubt on the assumption that the speeches represent real speeches spoken at the time and by persons whom Thucydides names is the frequency of correspondences among them. The unity of the History surely could not have been achieved by including over fifty real speeches without modifying their content and organization to fit the plan of the whole.
