The “Events after Homer”, described by Quintus Smyrnaeus in the third century AD in his Greek epic Posthomerica, are an attempt to bridge the gap between the Iliad and the Odyssey , and to combine the various scattered reports of the battle for Troy into a single tale: the fate of Achilles, Ajax, Paris and the Amazon Penthesileia, the intervention of Neoptolemos and the story from the Trojan horse to the destruction of the city. The volume presented here summarizes the results of the first international conference on Quintus Smyrnaeus.

Die "Ereignisse nach Homer", die Quintus Smyrnaeus wohl im 3. Jh. n.Chr. in seinem griechischen Epos Posthomerica beschreibt, sind ein Versuch, die Lücke zwischen Ilias und Odyssee zu schließen und die bis dahin verstreut überlieferten Berichte über den Kampf um Troja erzählerisch zu vereinen. Obschon das Epos in künstlerischer und populärer Rezeption (wie in Gustav Schwabs Schönsten Sagen des klassischen Altertums) breit gewirkt hat, fand eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit den Posthomerica bislang nur am Rande statt. Der vorliegende Sammelband arbeitet unter Berücksichtigung moderner Forschungsansätze intertextuelle Dialoge, narratologische Eigenheiten und stilistische wie inhaltliche Besonderheiten heraus. Die 16 Beiträge geben einen Einblick in werkimmanente Aspekte (Spannungsaufbau, Poetologie, Erzähltechnik) und untersuchen den Einfluss des literarischen Umfelds und insbesondere der Zweiten Sophistik auf Quintus anhand von werkübergreifenden, intertextuellen Fragestellungen und Fragen der Gattungsgeschichte: Wie lässt sich Quintus innerhalb der epischen Tradition einordnen, welchen Einfluss hat sein Werk auf spätere Epen der Kaiserzeit, wie erfolgreich ist sein Programm des Brückenschlags zwischen Ilias und Odyssee letztlich gewesen?

Focusing on the period known as the Second Sophistic (an era roughly co-extensive with the second century AD), this Handbook serves the need for a broad and accessible overview. The study of the Second Sophistic is a relative new-comer to the Anglophone field of classics and much of what characterizes it temporally and culturally remains a matter of legitimate contestation. The present handbook offers a diversity of scholarly voices that attempt to define, as much as is possible in a single volume, the state of this rapidly developing field. Included are chapters that offer practical guidance on the wide range of valuable textual materials that survive, many of which are useful or even core to inquiries of particularly current interest (e.g. gender studies, cultural history of the body, sociology of literary culture, history of education and intellectualism, history of religion, political theory, history of medicine, cultural linguistics, intersection of the Classical traditions and early Christianity). The Handbook also contains essays devoted to the work of the most significant intellectuals of the period such as Plutarch, Dio Chrysostom, Lucian, Apuleius, the novelists, the Philostrati and Aelius Aristides. In addition to content and bibliographical guidance, however, this volume is designed to help to situate the textual remains within the period and its society, to describe and circumscribe not simply the literary matter but the literary culture and societal context. For that reason, the Handbook devotes considerable space at the front to various contextual essays, and throughout tries to keep the contextual demands in mind. In its scope and in its pluralism of voices this Handbook thus represents a new approach to the Second Sophistic, one that attempts to integrate Greek literature of the Roman period into the wider world of early imperial Greek, Latin, Jewish, and Christian cultural production, and one that keeps a sharp focus on situating these texts within their socio-cultural context.

Quintus Smyrnaeus' Posthomerica (3rd century C.E.), the 14 book Greek epic on the Trojan War, is a text which has traditionally been overlooked in the main canon of Classical authors, and in fact until only recently has been largely ignored as a literary work. This book, the first monograph in English on the poem since 1904, examines the Posthomerica’s close relationship with the Homeric epics, with a focus on the originality and Late Antique interpretative bias of Quintus in his readings and emulation of Homer. The study deals specifically with three separate aspects of poetics, and their Homeric intertextuality: ecphrasis, gnomai, and similes, and their role within the poem’s narrative strategies, themes, and aims.
