THUCYDIDES MYTHISTORICUS
University of Pennsylvania Press. Very Good-. 1971. Softcover. 0812210212 . Spine a little discolored. Wraps has some rubbing and discoloration. Faint staining to ffep and front inner cover. Contents a bit shaken. ; The title of this book needs a word of explanation if not of apology; for to any one who is accustomed to think of Thucydides as typically prosaic and nothing if not purely historical the epithet Mythistoricus may seem to carry a note of challenge or even of paradox. But the sense in which the expression has here been used is quite consistent with the historian's much-talked-of `trustworthiness' and indeed with the literal truth of every statement of fact in the whole of his work. It is possible however even for a writer of history to be something much better than trustworthy. Xenophon I suppose is honest; but his honesty makes it none the easier to read him. To read Thucydides is although certainly not easy at any rate pleasant because--trustworthiness and all--he is a great artist. It is the object of this essay to bring out an essentially artistic aspect of his work which has escaped notice partly because the history is so long that it is hard to take it in as a whole and partly because the execution of the effect is imperfect having been hindered by the good intentions with which Thucydides set out. ; Pennsylvania Paperback 1021; 252 pages; Reprint of 1907 Original. .

ROME IN AFRICA
Routledge. Near Fine. 1993. Third Edition. Softcover. 0415081505 . Very light shelfwear. ; 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. .

Shackleton Bailey, D. R.
PROFILE OF HORACE
Duckworth & Company. Very Good. 1982. Softcover. 0715617257 . Spine and part of front wrap show sun discoloration. ; In this concise analysis written with elegant wit the greatest living textual critic of Latin authors offers new insight into the poetry of Horace. Horace is best known for his four books of Odes cherished for their lyric grace. His amiable persona is displayed more intimately in the moralizing verses of the Satires and Epistles. In a reading of all the poetry but focusing especially on problematic areas Shackleton Bailey examines Horace's art of self-presentation. A variety of themes are elucidated from the poet's relations with his patron to Roman sexual attitudes. Close scrutiny is given to about thirty passages which he argues have been misread. An appended essay on a notable predecessor the textual scholar Richard Bentley is especially revealing on the art of classical scholarship. ; Classical Life and Letters; 0.67 x 8.81 x 5.68 Inches; 142 pages .

ROMAN LITERARY CULTURE From Cicero to Apuleius
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine. 1999. Softcover. 0801862019 . Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; Ancient Society and History; 352 pages; Scholars of ancient literature have often focused on the works and lives of major authors rather than on such questions as how these works were produced and who read them. In Roman Literary Culture Elaine Fantham fills that void by examining the changing social and historical context of literary production in ancient Rome and its empire. Fantham discusses the habits of Roman readers and developments in their means of access to literature from booksellers and copyists to pirated publications and libraries. She examines the issues of patronage and the utility of literature. She shows how the constraints of the physical object itselfthe ancient "book"influenced the practice of both reading and writing. And she explores the ways in which ancient criticism and critical attitudes reflected cultural assumptions of the time. . The Johns Hopkins University Press paperback

Nisbet R. G. M. & S. J. Harrison edited by
COLLECTED PAPERS ON LATIN LITERATURE
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0198149484 . Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; This book collects twenty-six articles on a wide range of topics in Latin literature by the eminent scholar and former Professor of Latin at Oxford Robin Nisbet. Some papers address the historical bearing of various literary works--Gallus on Caesar Virgil and the Gospels and Ovid in exile--while other papers focus more on issues of style symbolism and the poetic address. In articles on prose Nisbet considers the reader's contribution to the understanding of Cicero's speeches and the use of rhythm to determine the punctuation of Latin sentences. The collection ends with a critique of the current tendency to exaggerate the ambiguities of Roman poetry. Original stimulating and at times provocative these papers represent some of the best in recent Latin scholarship. ; 464 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

DEMOSTHENES: SELECTED PRIVATE SPEECHES
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 0521239605 . Light bump to 1 corner. Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 252 pages; The four private speeches contained in this collection were functional artefacts whose object was to persuade a jury numbered in hundreds by manipulating both the facts of the case and the prejudices beliefs and attitudes of the Athenian man-in-the-street. It is as vehicles of persuasion that Dr Carey and Dr Reid seek primarily to treat the speeches using their commentary to shed light on how well the speeches perform their function. The speeches have also been chosen for their value as documents of Athenian law commerce and private life. The commentary explains as far as possible any obscurities in these fields and also deals with matters of linguistic interest. While intended mainly for undergraduates and students in the upper forms of schools the book will be of interest to all classical scholars. The introduction which provides a brief survey of the Athenian legal system and the trade of the speechwriter requires no knowledge of Greek and should interest students of classical culture and literature in translation. .

Millar Fergus
THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472108921 . Very faint shelfwear to book and DJ. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters advise other officeholders and make some administrative decisions it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights voters had to come to Rome or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover
