Chr.) galt im Altertum als Begründer der lateinischen bzw. römischen Literatur. Er stammte aus der griechischen Stadt Tarent, war somit kein lateinischer Muttersprachler. Das bedeutendste Werk des Livius Andronicus ist die Odusia, eine Übersetzung der griechischen Odyssee. Livius Andronicus wuchs in der griechischen Stadt Tarent auf, wo er vermutlich als Schauspieler tätig war. In Rom war er zunächst als Sklave, dann als Freigelassener Hauslehrer bei der Familie der Livier. Für den Schulgebrauch schrieb er die Odusia, eine in Saturniern verfasste Übersetzung der Odyssee Homers, die in Rom zur Grundlage des Griechisch-Unterrichts wurde. Im Jahr 240 v. Chr. führte Livius Andronicus anlässlich der 'Römischen Spiele' (lat. ludi Romani) das von ihm selbst verfasste erste lateinische Drama auf. Diese Aufführung galt in der Antike als Geburtsstunde der lateinischen bzw. römischen Literatur. In den darauf folgenden Jahren schrieb Livius Andronicus zahlreiche Tragödien und Komödien, die bei religiösen Festen aufgeführt wurden. 207 v. Chr. erhielt er den Auftrag, für einen Jungfrauenchor ein Prozessionslied zu Ehren de...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=969968 ... Read more

Excerpt: Lucius Livius Andronicus (c. 280/260 BC - c. 200 BC), not to be confused with the later historian Livy, was a Greco-Roman dramatist and epic poet of the Old Latin period. He began as an educator in the service of a noble family at Rome by translating Greek works into Latin, including Homer's Odyssey. They were meant at first as educational devices in the school he founded. When it came to drama he began staging plays, both tragedies and comedies, which were the first Roman dramatic works. The comedy, based on Greek New Comedy, came to be called comoedia palliata, "the Greek comedy," by the Romans. Suetonius later coined the term "half-Greek" of Livius and Ennius (referring to their genre, not their ethnic backgrounds). The genre was imitated by the next dramatists to follow in Andronicus' footsteps and on that account he is regarded as the father of Roman drama and of Latin literature in general; that is, he was the first man of letters to write in Latin. Varro, Cicero, and Horace, all men of letters during the subsequent Classical Latin period, considered Livius Andronicus to have been the originator of Latin literature. He is the earliest Roman poet whose name is known. In ancient sources, Livius Andronicus is either given that name or is simply called Livius.

Excerpt: Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254184 BC), commonly known as Plautus, was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are among the earliest surviving intact works in Latin literature. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by the innovator of Latin literature, Livius Andronicus. The word Plautine (pronounced ) is used to refer to Plautus's works or works similar to or influenced by his. Little is known about Titus Maccius Plautus' early life. It is believed that he was born in Sarsina, a small town in Umbria in central Italy,around 254 BCE. According to Morris Marples, Plautus worked as a stage-carpenter or scene-shifter in his early years. It is from this work, perhaps, that his love of the theater originated. His acting talent was eventually discovered; and he adopted the names "Maccius" (a clownish stock-character in popular farces) and "Plautus" (a term meaning either "flat-footed" or "flat-eared," like the ears of a hound). Tradition holds that he made enough money to go into the nautical business, but that the venture collapsed. He is then said to have worked as a manual laborer and to have studied Greek dramaparticularly the New Comedy of Menanderin his leisure. His studies allowed him to produce his plays, which were released between c. 205 and 184 BCE. Plautus attained such a popularity that his name alone became a hallmark of theatrical success. Plautus' comedies are mostly adapted from Greek models for a Roman audience, and are often based directly on t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24171 ... Read more

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca, or Seneca the Younger) (c. 4 BC AD 65) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and in one work humorist, of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He was tutor and later advisor to emperor Nero. He was later forced to commit suicide for complicity in the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate this last of the Julio-Claudian emperors; however, he may have been innocent. His father was Seneca the Elder. Miriam Griffin says in her standard modern biography of Seneca that "the evidence for Seneca's life before his exile in 41 is so slight, and the potential interest of these years, for social history as well as for biography, is so great that few writers on Seneca have resisted the temptation to eke out knowledge with imagination." It is thus necessary to regard what one reads as alleged fact with extreme skepticism. Griffin infers from ancient sources that Seneca was born in either 8, 4, or 1 BC. She thinks he was born between 4 and 1 BC and was resident in Rome by 5 AD. Seneca says that he was carried to Rome in the arms of his mother's stepsister. Griffin says that, allowing for rhetorical exaggeration, means "it is fair to conclude that Seneca was in Rome as a very small boy." His family was from Cordoba in Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula), and one might infer that he may have been born there, although there is no documentary evidence for it. He was the second son of Helvia and Lucius Annaeus Seneca (there is no ancient evidence for the name Marcus), the wealthy rhetorician known as Seneca the Elder. Griffin says that it is p...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=75150 ... Read more

Extrait : Sénèque (en latin Lucius Annaeus Seneca), né dans l'actuelle Cordoue au sud de l'Espagne d'aujourd'hui vers 4 av. J.-C. et mort le 12 avril 65 ap. J.-C., est un philosophe de l'école stoïcienne, un dramaturge et un homme d'État romain du siècle de l'ère chrétienne. Il est parfois nommé Sénèque le Tragique ou Sénèque le Jeune pour le distinguer de son père, Sénèque l'Ancien. Conseiller à la cour impériale sous Caligula et précepteur de Néron, Sénèque joue un rôle important de conseiller auprès de ce dernier avant d'être discrédité et acculé au suicide. Ses traités philosophiques comme De la colère, Sur la vie heureuse (en latin, De Vita beata) ou De la brièveté de la vie (De Brevitate vitæ), et surtout ses Lettres à Lucilius exposent ses conceptions philosophiques stoïciennes : pour lui « Le souverain bien c'est une âme qui méprise les événements extérieurs et se réjouit par la vertu ». Ses tragédies constituent par ailleurs un des meilleurs exemples du théâtre tragique latin avec des œuvres qui nourriront le théâtre classique français du XVIIe siècle comme Médée, Œdipe ou Phèdre. Il est né à Curduba (actuelle Cordoue) en Bétique (actuelle Andalousie, en Espagne) vers 4 avant J.-C. La date est imprécise et la naissance est Sa famille ne semble pas avoir été espagnole, mais . Il était le deuxième fils d'Helvia et de Marcus Lucius Annaeus Seneca (dit « Sénèque l'Ancien »), un rhéteur aisé de rang équestre.

Excerpt: Giovanni Paisiello (or Paesiello) (May 9, 1740 June 5, 1816) was an Italian composer of the Classical era. Paisiello was born at Taranto and educated by the Jesuits there. He became known for his beautiful singing voice and in 1754 was sent to the Conservatorio di S. Onofrio at Naples, where he studied under Francesco Durante, and eventually became assistant master. For the theatre of the Conservatorio, which he left in 1763, he wrote some intermezzi, one of which attracted so much notice that he was invited to write two operas, La Pupilla and Il Mondo al Rovescio, for Bologna, and a third, Il Marchese di Tidipano, for Rome. His reputation now firmly established, he settled for some years at Naples, where, despite the popularity of Niccolò Piccinni, Domenico Cimarosa and Pietro Guglielmi, of whose triumphs he was bitterly jealous, he produced a series of highly successful operas, one of which, L'ldolo cinese, made a deep impression upon the Neapolitan public. In 1772 Paisiello began to write church music, and composed a requiem for Gennara di Borbone, of the reigning dynasty. In the same year he married Cecilia Pallini, and the marriage was a happy one. In 1776 Paisiello was invited by the empress Catherine II of Russia to St Petersburg, where he remained for eight years, producing, among other charming works, his masterpiece, Il barbiere di Siviglia, which soon attained a European reputation. The fate of this opera marks an epoch in the history of Italian art; for with it the gentle suavity cultivated...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=37945 ... Read more
