    Series Statement: Martin Classical Lectures
    Note: Main description: Prevalent among classicists today is the notion that Greeks, Romans, and Jews enhanced their own self-perception by contrasting themselves with the so-called Other--Egyptians, Phoenicians, Ethiopians, Gauls, and other foreigners--frequently through hostile stereotypes, distortions, and caricature. In this provocative book, Erich Gruen demonstrates how the ancients found connections rather than contrasts, how they expressed admiration for the achievements and principles of other societies, and how they discerned--and even invented--kinship relations and shared roots with diverse peoples. Gruen shows how the ancients incorporated the traditions of foreign nations, and imagined blood ties and associations with distant cultures through myth, legend, and fictive histories. He looks at a host of creative tales, including those describing the founding of Thebes by the Phoenician Cadmus, Rome's embrace of Trojan and Arcadian origins, and Abraham as ancestor to the Spartans. Gruen gives in-depth readings of major texts by Aeschylus, Herodotus, Xenophon, Plutarch, Julius Caesar, Tacitus, and others, in addition to portions of the Hebrew Bible, revealing how they offer richly nuanced portraits of the alien that go well beyond stereotypes and caricature. Providing extraordinary insight into the ancient world, this controversial book explores how ancient attitudes toward the Other often expressed mutuality and connection, and not simply contrast and alienation

    Content: Ausgehend vom vollständig erhaltenen Autograf der monumentalen „Blockbuster-Oper“ Le Roi Carotte beleuchtet Alexander Grün neben der Entstehungsgeschichte des Werks erstmals sämtliche einschlägigen kompositionstechnischen Parameter einer Opernpartitur Offenbachs, des sogenannten „Vaters der Operette“. Die in diesem Umfang einmalige Untersuchung von Rhythmik, Melodik, Harmonik, Zeit- und Tempostrukturen, Leitmotiven, Reminiszenzen sowie aufführungspraktischen Aspekten der Uraufführung am Pariser Théâtre de la Gaîté im Jahr 1872 widerlegt eindrücklich die These vom vielschreibenden Boulevardkomponisten, der mit dem Fall des Empire an frühere Erfolge habe nicht mehr anknüpfen können.
    Content: This complete analysis of an almost unknown late work by Offenbach makes it abundantly clear that his stage works contain much more than just pleasing melodies and satirical verses. Using the completely-preserved autograph score of the monumental blockbuster opera “Le Roi Carotte”, as well as spectacular costume designs and original stage design models from the first performance, Alexander Grün examines for the first time the genesis of the work as well as all relevant compositional aspects of an opera score from the so-called "father of operetta". This comprehensive analysis of rhythm, melody, harmony, time and tempo structures, leitmotifs and reminiscences, as well as the practical aspects of the first performance at the Théâtre de la Gaîté in Paris in 1872, is unique in Offenbach research and impressively debunks the usual view of Offenbach as a prolific popular composer who never managed to capitalise on his early successes after the collapse of the Second Empire.
