IMAGES IN MIND Statues in Archaic and Classical Greek Literature and Thought
Princeton University Press. Very Good. 2002. Softcover. 0691094888 . Very faint crease through upper corner. Else minor shelfwear. ; In archaic and classical Greece statues played a constant role in people's religious political economic aesthetic and mental lives. Evidence of many kinds demonstrates that ancient Greeks thought about--and interacted with--statues in ways very different from our own. This book recovers ancient thinking about statues by approaching them through contemporary literary sources. It not only shows that ancient viewers conceived of images as more operative than aesthetic but additionally reveals how poets and philosophers found in sculpture a practice ''good to think with.'

Tzanetou, Angeliki
CITY OF SUPPLIANTS Tragedy and the Athenian Empire
University of Texas Press. Very Good. 2013. Softcover. 0292754329 . Very faint shelfwear. Gift inscription from author to Jenifer Neils on ffep. ; After fending off Persia in the fifth century BCE Athens assumed a leadership position in the Aegean world. Initially it led the Delian League a military alliance against the Persians but eventually the league evolved into an empire with Athens in control and exacting tribute from its former allies. Athenians justified this subjection of their allies by emphasizing their fairness and benevolence towards them which gave Athens the moral right to lead. But Athenians also believed that the strong rule over the weak and that dominating others allowed them to maintain their own freedom. These conflicting views about Athens' imperial rule found expression in the theater and this book probes how the three major playwrights dramatized Athenian imperial ideology. Through close readings of Aeschylus' Eumenides Euripides' Children of Heracles and Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus as well as other suppliant dramas Angeliki Tzanetou argues that Athenian tragedy performed an important ideological function by representing Athens as a benevolent and moral ruler that treated foreign suppliants compassionately. She shows how memorable and disenfranchised figures of tragedy such as Orestes and Oedipus or the homeless and tyrant-pursued children of Heracles were generously incorporated into the public body of Athens thus reinforcing Athenians' sense of their civic magnanimity. This fresh reading of the Athenian suppliant plays deepens our understanding of how Athenians understood their political hegemony and reveals how core Athenian values such as justice freedom piety and respect for the laws intersected with imperial ideology. ; 206 pages; Signed by Author .

THE EPIC CITY Urbanism Utopia and the Garden in Ancient Greece and Rome
Center for Hellenic Studies. Very Good. 2007. Softcover. 0674023749 . Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; As Greek and Trojan forces battled in the shadow of Troy's wall Hephaistos created a wondrous ornately decorated shield for Achilles. At the Shield's center lay two walled cities one at war and one at peace surrounded by fields and pasturelands. Viewed as Homer's blueprint for an ideal or utopian social order the Shield reveals that restraining and taming Nature would be fundamental to the Hellenic urban quest. It is this ideal that Classical Athens with her utilitarian view of Nature exemplified. In a city lacking pleasure gardens it was particularly worthy of note when Epicurus created his garden oasis within the dense urban fabric. The disastrous results of extreme anthropocentrism would promote an essentially nostalgic desire to break down artificial barriers between humanity and Nature. This new ideal vividly expressed through the domestication of Nature in villas and gardens and also through primitivist and Epicurean tendencies in Latin literature informed the urban endeavors of Rome. ; Hellenic Studies 21; 8.9 X 5.4 X 0.5 inches; 220 pages .

THESEUS AND ATHENS
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0195089081 . Review of book tipped in. Dustjacket has faint creasing; 0.85 x 9.32 x 6.32 Inches; 240 pages; Theseus is celebrated as the greatest of Athenian heroes. This work explores what he meant to the Athenians at the height of their city-state in the fifth century B. C. Assembling material that has been scattered in scholarly works Henry Walker examines the evidence for the development of themyth and cult of Theseus in the archaic age. He then looks to major works of classical literature in which Theseus figures exploring the contradictions between the archaic primitive side of his character and his refurbished image as the patron of democracy. His ambiguous nature as outsider flouting accepted standards of behavior while at the same time being a hero-king and a representative of higher ideals is analyzed through his representations in the work of Bacchylides Euripides and Sophocles. This is the only work of scholarship that examines the literary representation ofTheseus so thoroughly. It brings to life a literary character whose virtues flaws and contradictions belong in no less a degree to his creators the people of Athens. . Oxford University Press hardcover

SIREN FEASTS A History of Food and Gastronomy in Greece
Routledge. Very Good. 1997. Softcover. 0415156572 . Scholar's initial to inner cover Jenifer Neils. Else very faint shelfwear. ; 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

ANCIENT ROME AS A MUSEUM Power Identity and the Culture of Collecting
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2012. Hardcover. 0199573239 . DJ flaps are creased. Faint yellowing to DJ. ; In antiquity Rome represented one of the world's great cultural capitals. The city constituted a collective repository for various commemoratives cultural artefacts and curiosities not to mention plunder taken in war and over its history became what we might call a "museum city." Ancient Rome as a Museum considers how cultural objects and memorabilia both from Rome and its empire came to reflect a specific Roman identity and in some instances to even construct or challenge Roman perceptions of power and of the self. In this volume Rutledge argues that Roman cultural values and identity are indicated in part by what sort of materials Romans deemed worthy of display and how they chose to display view and preserve them. Grounded in the growing field of museum studies this book includes a discussion on private acquisition of cultural property and asks how well the Roman community at large understood the meaning and history behind various objects and memorabilia. Of particular importance was the use of collections by a number of emperors in the further establishment of their legitimacy and authority. Through an examination of specific cultural objects Rutledge questions how they came to reflect or even perpetuate Roman values and identity.; Oxford Studies In Ancient Culture & Representation; 9.7 X 7.7 X 1.2 inches; 424 pages .

THE CLASSICAL ATHENIAN DEMOCRACY
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0198146973 . Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. Old price sticker to ffep. ; 0.88 x 8.75 x 5.69 Inches; 214 pages; The Greeks had a word for it and the word was demokratia a compound of demos `the people' and kratos `power or rule'. But it is significant that the first occurrence of the word in surviving Greek literature is in Herodotus' History which he was writing during the third quarter of the fifth century BC. It was perhaps coined in the period following the reforms of the last decade of the sixth which later won fame for Cleisthenes as `the man who gave the Athenians their democracy'. In 431 BC Pericles could claim that the Athenian system of government was unique and an example to every other society in Greece. It is the object of this book to explain to the modern reader what the institutions of the classical Athenian democracy were how they worked and what assumptions underlay them. It is principally concerned with the fully developed democracy of the post-Ephialtic period; but a chapter is devoted to tracing the broad development of the Athenian constitution from the reforms of Solon in the early sixth century to those of Ephialtes in the late 460s so that the developed democracy can be seen in its proper historical context. Stockton incorporates recent important work by historians epigraphists and archaeologists into his study. . Oxford University Press hardcover

During his life and after his death his image in works of art exerted an unprecedented influence on marbles bronzes ivories frescoes mosaics coins medals even painted pottery and relief ware. Alexander's physiognomy became the most famous in history. But can we really know what meaning lies behind these images Andrew Stewart demonstrates that these portraits wildly divergent in character quality type provenance date and purpose actually transmit not so much a likeness of Alexander as a set of carefully crafted cliches that mobilize the notion "Alexander" for diverse ends and diverse audiences. Stewart discusses the portraits as studies in power and his original interpretation of them gives unprecedented fullness and shape to the idea and image called "Alexander." .

ROME IN AFRICA
Routledge. Very Good. 2005. Third Edition. Softcover. 0415081505 . Very light edgewear. ; 254 pages; Nearly three thousand years ago the Phoenicians set up trading colonies on the coast of North Africa and ever since successive civilizations have been imposed on the local inhabitants largely from outside. Carthaginians Romans vandals Byzantines Arabs TUrks French and Italians have all occupied the region in their time. The Romans governed this part of Africa for six hundred cities twelve thousand miles of roads and hundreds of aquaducts some fifty miles long. The remains of many of these structures can be seen today. At the height of its prosperity during the second and third centuries AD the area was the granary of Rome and produced more olive oil than Italy itself. The broadening horizons of the Roman Empire provided scope for the particular talents of a number of Africa's sons: the writers Terence and Apuleius; the first African Roman Emperor Septimius Severus famous Christian theologians like Tertulllian and Saint Augustine - these are just some who rose to meet the challenges of their age. .

Munn, Mark H.
THE DEFENSE OF ATTICA The Dema Wall and the Boiotian War of 378-375 B. C.
University of California Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0520076850 . Minor shelfwear to DJ. DJ spine a bit sunned. ; 259 pages; The enigmatic three-mile-long Dema wall in the countryside outside ancient Athens has perplexed archaeologists and historians for decades. When was it built and what role did it play in Greek military history In a tour de force of archaeological and historical argument Mark H. Munn establishes the place of the Dema wall in the defense of Athens and offers a completely new perspective on the Boiotian War. Since no ancient reference to the wall survives scholars have contested the date and purpose of the wall's construction placing it anywhere between the Geometric Age and Hellenistic eras. While directing the excavation of a watchtower above the wall Munn's chance discovery of a datable sherd in the wall's remains fixed the date of the wall's construction at 378 B. C. the onset of the three-year Boiotian War. Munn offers an absorbing narrative account of the war and his descriptions and effective use of literary extracts render a vivid portrayal of the opposing generals military tactics and battle scenes. .

Frier, Bruce W.
LIBRI ANNALES PONTIFICUM MAXIMORUM The Origins of the Annalistic Tradition
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0472109154 . Upper corner a bit bumped. DJ spine sunned. Else minor shelfwear. ; The Papers and Monographs of the American Academy in Rome Vol. XXVII; 368 pages; Recent years have seen a welcome growth of interest in the history of early Rome. Libri Annales Pontificum Maximorum: the Origins of the Annalistic Tradition contributes important information on this period by focusing on the earliest stages of Roman historical writing. The book is once again available with a new Introduction by the author that brings the work up to date and helps place it in its current context. This book remains the starting point for study of the pre-annalistic tradition of Roman history. When first published the volume sparked a lively debate among classicists and historians of the ancient world. Previous scholarship had often assigned the pontifical chronicle a central role not only in preserving the history of the early Republic but also in shaping the form of the annalistic tradition. But the author showed that these assumptions rested on insecure foundations; to a large extent they misrepresented the historiographic development of the annalistic tradition as we know it from above all Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Perhaps the book's most controversial contention was that the final eighty-book edition of the chronicle which previous scholars had dated to the later second century BCE is more probably a massive reworking of materials in the Augustan period. This finding will likely require a considerable revision in our understanding of the development of the annalistic tradition. In the course of making these innovative arguments the author offers extensive information about the origins of the annalistic tradition and about the early history and historiography of Rome. Bruce W. Frier is Professor of Classics and Roman Law and Henry King Ransom Professor of Law University of Michigan. He has published numerous books and articles on classical and legal topics and has won the Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit from the American Philological Association. .
