This study presents an analysis of the Syriac translations of Cyril of Alexandria's Christological works, seeking to locate them in their literary context on the basis of a comparative typology of translation technique and by making full use of Biblical citations and parallel citations in other texts. The texts in question range from the middle of the fifth to the middle of the sixth century and are closely comparable to other contemporary documents. The decades either side of the turn of the sixth century are shown as the key period in which Syriac translators developed a new vision of their language and its capabilities. More widely, the translations in question are used to illuminate parallel developments in late antique culture in matters of textual authority, the exegesis of patristic texts and the development of Florilegia. The Syrian church's new vision of language use can be observed in other walks of life across and represents a typical 'late antique' phenomenon.

The Syriac Versions of the Writings of Cyril of Alexandria: A Study in Translation Technique
Illuminating monograph. Offers a thorough and rich reconstruction of Hesiod's universe: the structure of the poems, the meaning of their inconsistencies, the cosmic dynamic of the male and female, the difference between the divine and the human, the mixing of things, and the eschatological vision.
The Theogeny is the story told from the view from Olympus, a story of progress and consolidation under Zeus. Works and Days is the anthropocentric view. The gods are invisible and cruel. Our world shrinks and crumbles, our cities, our households, our bodies collapse exhausted before the sheer indifference of the cosmos.
With the passing of heroes, the human race can only degenerate from the beasts we were raised from.
Humanity has no hope; the gods watch with bemused interest as we perish under Zeus' guidance. He does not destroy us from anger but to relieve the groaning of mother Earth straining under our weight. To stabilize the cosmos, humankind must perish.
An excellent cosmological take, perhaps even better than Homer.
