POWER PAIDEIA & PYTHAGOREANISM Greek Identity Conceptions of the Relationship between Philosophers and Monarchs and Political Ideas in Philostratus Life of Apollonius
J. C. Gieben. Fine with no dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 905063236X . Still sealed in plastic; Dutch Monographs on Ancient History and Archaeology; 10.25 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 286 pages; The Athenian sophist Philostratus completed a romanticised biography of Apollonius of Tyana in the second or third decade of the third century A. D. One of the most striking aspects of the presentation of this firstcentury Pythagorean sage and miracleworker in the Vita Apollonii VA is his role as politically active philosopher. Not only does the protagonist of the VA regularly intervene in situa-tions of conflict in Greek cities and instruct their citi-zens on how they ought to live together but he also appears in contact with Parthian and Indian kings and Roman emperors. The present study deals with this promi-nent facet of Philostratus portrait of the Tyanean sage. There are three main issues. The first is the question of the extent to which the Apollonius tradition provided support for the image of the contacts of the protagonist of the VA with cities and monarchs. The second is consideration of how the author dealt with and elaborated these elements in his source material. The third is the question of to what extent the protagonist of the VA may be regarded as a spokesman for the explicit political views of Philostratus. In other words the aim is to analyse the image of the protagonist of the VA as a politically active philosopher as the result of the interaction between the traditions associated with a sage and miracleworker who was regarded as a representative of Pythagorean wisdom on the one hand and the paideia cultural baggage and mentality of a sophist on the other. .

SIREN FEASTS A History of Food and Gastronomy in Greece
Routledge. Very Good. 1997. Softcover. 0415156572 . Very faint foxing. 1 corner lightly edgeworn. ; 0.92 x 9.18 x 6.11 Inches; 320 pages; Cheese wine honey and olive oil--four of Greece's best known contributions to culinary culture- -were already well known four thousand years ago. Remains of honeycombs and of cheeses have been found under the volcanic ash of the Santorini eruption of 1627 BC. Over the millennia Greek food diversified and absorbed neighboring traditions yet retained its own distinctive character. In Siren Feasts Andrew Dalby provides the first serious social history of Greek food. He begins with the tunny fishers of the neolithic age and traces the story through the repertoire of classical Greece the reputations of Lydia for luxury and of Sicily and South Italy for sybaritism to the Imperial synthesis of varying traditions with a look forward to the Byzantine cuisine and the development of the modern Greek menu. The apples of the Hesperides turn out to be lemons and great favour attaches to Byzantine biscuits. Fully documented and comprehensively illustrated scholarly yet immensely readable Siren Feasts demonstrates the social construction placed upon different types of food at different periods was fish a luxury item in classical Athens though disdained by Homeric heroes . It places diet in an economic and agricultural context; and it provides a history of mentalities in relation to a subject which no human being can ignore. . Routledge paperback

Davidson, James N.
COURTESANS AND FISHCAKES The Consuming Passions of Classical Athens
Harpercollins Publishers. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0002555913 . Pages tanned. DJ spine a bit sunned. ; 1.25 x 10 x 6.75 Inches; 371 pages; British historian Davidson takes us inside classical Greece's brothels bedrooms drinking parties and banquets in this rarefied scholarly inquiry. His aim is not merely to depict Athenians as pleasure seekers but to overturn the current notion purveyed by Michel Foucault and others that Athens was a "phallocratic" society permeated with an ethos of penetration and domination a homosexual-leaning culture polarized between adult male citizens and all others: Slaves women boys foreigners. He largely succeeds on all counts bringing to convivial life a predominantly heterosexual society where classes mingled easily; cultured courtesans bedded leading figures like Pericles and Alcibiades; and wives participated fully in sexual pleasures. Drawing on ancient treatises pamphlets comic plays poems and speeches Davidson investigates the classical Greeks' indulgences including their mania for eating fish A luxury viewed as hedonistic And their tolerance for booze and sex though sex addicts were considered to have a lower capacity to resist the natural pleasures. His intriguing study serves up a banquet of arcane lore. . Harpercollins Publishers hardcover

Rivalry in history: an introduction Hans van Wees 2. Fame and prizes: competition and war in the Neo-Assyrian empire Karen Radner 3. Levels and strategies of competition in the Aztec Empire Frances F. Berdan Part II: Competition in Greece: 4. Ancient Greek competition - a modern construct Christoph Ulf 5. Conflict and community in the Iliad William Allan and Douglas Cairns 6. Peer-polity interaction and cultural competition in sixth-century Greece Sara Forsdyke 7. Competitive delights: the social effects of the expanded programme of contests in post-Kleisthenic Athens Nick Fisher Part III: Competition in Rome: 8. Lotteries and elections: containing elite competition in Venice and Rome Henrik Mouritsen 9. Keeping up with the Joneses: competitive display within the Roman villa landscape Hannah Platts 10. Competitiveness and anti-competitiveness in Philostratus Lives of the Sophists Jason Konig; 320 pages; Ancient peoples like modern spent much of their lives engaged in and thinking about competitions: both organised competitions with rules audiences and winners such as Olympic and gladiatorial games and informal indefinite often violent competition for fundamental goals such as power wealth and honour. The varied papers in this book form a case for viewing competition for superiority as a major force in ancient history including the earliest human societies and the Assyrian and Aztec empires. Papers on Greek history explore the idea of competitiveness as peculiarly Greek the intense and complex quarrel at the heart of Homers Iliad and the importance of formal competitions in the creation of new political and social identities in archaic Sicyon and classical Athens. Papers on the Roman world shed fresh light on Republican elections through a telling parallel from renaissance Venice on modes of competitive display of wealth and power evident in elite villas in Italy in the imperial period and on the ambiguities in the competitive self-representations of athletes sophists and emperors. .
