A Companion to Translations Studies and Ancient Epic

by Richard H. Armstrong, Alexandra Lianeri

Translation studies can be situated as either a complementary field or an aspect of classical receptions, but there are certaindifficulties in how translation studies can be suitably adapted for importation into classical studies; difficulties which are not currently addressed in a systematic form for graduate students or researchers wishing to gain a comprehensive orientation to classics studies. The proposed Companion would address these difficulties by providing the first systematic work to translation studies as applied to classics.

The proposed Companion attempts to address this lack by providing the first systematic work that would both orient the new-comer to translation studies as applied to classics and provide exemplary, state-of-the-art discussions and case studies on how translation is a central element in reception.
