Quintus Smyrnaeus: Transforming Homer in Second Sophistic Epic

About this book

Millennium transcends boundaries – between epochs and regions, and between disciplines. Like the journal Millennium-Jahrbuch, the Millennium-Studien pursues an international, interdisciplinary approach that cuts across historical eras. Composed of scholars from various disciplines, the editorial and advisory boards welcome submissions from a range of fields, including history, literary studies, art history, theology, and philosophy. Millennium-Studien also accepts manuscripts on Latin, Greek, and Oriental cultures.

In addition to offering a forum for monographs and edited collections on diverse topics, Millennium-Studien publishes commentaries and editions. The journal primary accepts publications in German and English, but also considers submissions in French, Italian, and Spanish.

If you want to submit a manuscript please send it to the editor from the most relevant discipline:

Wolfram Brandes, Frankfurt (Byzantine Studies and Early Middle Ages): [email protected]

Peter von Möllendorff, Gießen (Greek language and literature): [email protected]

Dennis Pausch, Dresden (Latin language and literature): [email protected]

Rene Pfeilschifter, Würzburg (Ancient History): [email protected]

Karla Pollmann, Bristol (Early Christianity and Patristics): [email protected]

All manuscript submissions will be reviewed by the editor and one outside specialist (single-blind peer review).
