‎THE FOUNDATION OF ROME Myth and History‎

‎Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 080143114X . Top corners lightly bumped. Light general soiling. ; 9.5 x 0.75 x 6.5 Inches; 236 pages; "The Foundation of Rome is one of the few intelligent books on the subject neither hypercritical nor visionary; its particular strength lies in the skillful interweaving of modern historiography and ideology with ancient history. "--Jerzy Linderski University of North Carolina. At once a historical essay and a self-conscious meditation on the writing of history The Foundation of Rome takes as its starting point a series of accounts of Rome's origins offered over the course of centuries. Alexandre Grandazzi places these accounts in their contemporary contexts and shows how the growing sophistication in methodology gradually changed the accepted views of the city's origins. He looks for example at the hypercritical philology of the nineteenth century which cast aside everything that could not be verified. He then explains how the increase in archaeological discoveries and changing archaeological techniques influenced the story of Rome's birth. Grandazzi produces a depiction of Rome's origins that is both up-to-date and provocative. His use of scientific parallels in describing changes in the ways texts were analyzed and his broad familiarity with comparative material make his synthesis particularly illuminating and he writes with clarity verve and wit. .

‎Grimal Pierre Edited by‎

‎Larousse World Mythology‎

‎Paul Hamlyn - The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited 1972. BOOK: Boards Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Previous Owner Markings Price Clipped; Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: All races without exception have possessed a mythology. To trace the outline of the world's mythology is to trace also the pattern of man's development. There has been no age no civilisation that has not probed the mysteries of life and sought to explain them by the graphic means of myth. The preoccupying questions have remained constant - how was the world created what forces govern man's life and how best can he make them favourable to him The answers have been as varied as the societies that have produced them ranging from the primitive to the near-sophisticated. In a book of generous proportions Pierre Grimal's twenty-three authors survey the myths of the world's principal societies with perception. They analyse the form with function of myth note its variations and evolution and examine recurrent themes. They range from the dark cave-bound rites of prehistoric man through the system of Egyptian gods the monotheistic patterns of the ancient near east the Indian pantheon and the gods and heroes of classical Greece and Rome. In less commonly charted areas they survey the polytheistic cults of northern Europe the nature spirits of the American Indians the sacrificial cults of Central America totemism in Africa and ancestor and fetish worship in Oceania. In a brilliant preface to this kaleidoscopic display of man's efforts to explain his world Pierre Grimal proposes that myths form a vital element of all thought even in an advanced society. Any attempt to know them better is to surrender to the very legitimate pleasure of reading and re-reading a collection of very fine stories and to probe deeper into human consciousness. The book is of unparalleled interest and unrivalled breadth sensitively written and imaginatively illustrated with more than 600 black-and-white and colour photographs. A delight for the browser a feast for the fact-finder. First Edition 3rd Impression. Hard Cover. Fine/Good. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Paul Hamlyn - The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited Hardcover‎
