Philostratus: Interpreters and Interpretation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines the ways in which the labyrinthine Corpus Philostrateum represents and interrogates the nature of interpretation. Taking 'interpretation' broadly as the production of meaning from objects that are considered to bear some less than obvious significance, it examines the very different interpreter figures presented: Apollonius of Tyana as interpreter of omens, dreams and art-works; an unnamed Vinetender and the dead Protesilaus as interpreters of heroes; and the sophist who emotively describes a gallery full of paintings, depicting in the process both the techniques of educated viewing and the various errors and illusions into which a viewer can fall.
