LAW SEXUALITY AND SOCIETY The Enforcement of Morals in Classical Athens
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 2001. Softcover. 0521466423 . Very light shelfwear. ; Centering on the examination of the social and legal context of adultery homosexuality impiety and the public-private dichotomy in Athenian society this book attempts to examine the problems of social control and the regulation of sexuality in a way that will be of interest to a broad readership. It uses a comparative approach to show how the examination of such issues can deepen our understanding of classical Athens particularly in regard to the role of law in society. Further it argues that this historical investigation can in turn enrich our general appreciation of the relation of social and legal norms and the roles they play in regulating complex social practices such as those associated with sexuality morals and the family. This illuminating book develops a view of classical Athenian society that emphasizes the study of social control as the dynamic interplay of legal and social norms within the context of ideology and practice. ; 0.87 x 9.33 x 6.22 Inches; 271 pages; Digitally reprinted. .

Kirk, James
HOMER AND THE EPIC A Shortened Version of 'the Songs of Homer'
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1965. Softcover. 0521093562 . Light edgewear to spine. Old price deleted. Former owner's name on inner cover. ; 243 pages; This is a shortened and rearranged version of The Songs of Homer. The literature of the western world begins with one of its greatest achievements. The stories of the wrath of Achilles and its consequences and of the wanderings of Odysseus have been admired from ancient times to the present day. The two great epics can be read and enjoyed unreflectingly as tales of adventure; or they can be studied as literature yielding as insight and understanding grow a deeper and more permanent pleasure. Professor Kirk's book is the means to this pleasure. It is a vivid and comprehensive account of the background and development of the Homeric poems and of their quality as literature. The epics are seen primarily as oral poetry sung for centuries by illiterate singers; and from this view rises discussion of the problems of authorship and transmission. The historical archaeological and linguistic evidence is also examined; and the possible contributions of the Mycenaean period and of the subsequent Dark Age are shown in a fresh light. .

SOURCES FOR ANCIENT HISTORY With Contributions from Emilio Gabba Fergus Millar Anthony Snodgrass
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1983. Paperback. 0521289580 . Wraps have yellowing. Upper corner of rear wraps creased. Scholar's name to ffep Carolyn Dewald. ; If a scholar wishes to create a picture of a topical society in all its aspects there is little of what he needs to know that he cannot know although there may still be much that he cannot understand. For the history of Greece and Rome there is a great deal that is simply unknowable. From the end of the archaic age of Greece there is an unbroken sequence of works by Greek and later Roman historians down to the end of antiquity. Their vision and range of interest were often limited and much of what they produced has been lost. Some help may be derived from the documentary material supplied in antiquity material that was the product of officials organising public activities or heads of families organising their affairs or individuals leaving their mark on the world. Beyond this the evidence of archaeology and numismatics may also be helpful. The four essays in this book set out to characterise the nature of the ancient literary tradition the inscriptional material the archaeological and numismatic evidence and to explain how and for what purposes they may be used.

Lacey W. K.
THE FAMILY IN CLASSICAL GREECE
Cornell University Press. Near Fine. 1989. Softcover. 0801492742 . Very Minor shelfwear. ; Aspects of Greek and Roman Life; 342 pages; In this well-researched and coherent introduction to family life in classical Greece Mr Lacey explains the structure of the family the social and economic pressures that affected it and the complicated legal measures that were devised to regulate and protect it. Even though the family has always been a fundamental institution in Greek society this is the first study in English devoted to it. This book deals in detail with the family in the archaic and classical ages -- the great era of the city-states. It was during this period that a close and complex relationship existed between the family and the city-state. Each city-state was in fact the sum total of the households contained in it and each household resembled a miniature kingdom with its own gods and lands and the head of the house exercised almost royal powers over his children. So powerful and close-knit was the family group that it was regarded by politicians and philosophers including Plato and Aristotle as damaging to their ideals of personal detachment and public service and even as a menace to the unity of the state. Mr Lacey supports his views of family life by quoting and discussing relevant writings of the Greek philosophers and by citing contemporary literature especially the comedies. He analyzes also the valuable evidence supplied by inscriptions vase paintings sculpture terracottas and coins many of which are presented in black-and-white photographs. From ancient times until today the most pervasive force in Greek life has been the family. This study of its influence in classical Greece makes possible a better understanding of greek history literature and art. . Cornell University Press paperback

Loraux, Nicole
THE EXPERIENCES OF TIRESIAS The Feminine and the Greek Man
Princeton University Press. Very Good. 1997. Softcover. 0691017174 . Minor shelfwear. ; In The Experiences of Tiresias its title referring to the shepherd struck blind after glimpsing Athena's naked body Nicole Loraux explores the ambivalence in how the Greek male defines himself in relationship to the feminine. In these essays Loraux disturbs the idea of virile men and feminine women a distinction found in official discourse and aimed at protecting the ideals of male identity from any taint of the feminine. Turning to epic and to Socrates however she insists on a logic of an inclusiveness between the genders which casts a shadow over their clear officially defined borders. "Nicole Loraux documents with delicate sensitivity to text and context the mobility of the contrast between 'man' and 'the feminine. '. Her readings of tragedy are particularly compelling. "--Mary Margaret McCabe The Times Literary Supplement "Loraux is a pioneer in the analysis of gender difference and sexuality in classical Greece. Strongly opposed to polarized interpretations of 'masculine' and 'feminine ' she illuminates the complex and often contradictory interrelationship of the sexes in real life and in the Greek/Athenian social 'imaginary.

Graf, Fritz; Philip, Franklin
MAGIC IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
Harvard University Press. Very Good. 2003. Softcover. 0674541537 . 1 page corner creased. Mild creasing to spine. Sticker residue to front wrap. ; Revealing Antiquity; 1.05 x 8.51 x 5.8 Inches; 320 pages; Ancient Greeks and Romans often turned to magic to achieve personal goals. Magical rites were seen as a route for direct access to the gods for material gains as well as spiritual satisfaction. In this fascinating survey of magical beliefs and practices from the sixth century B. C. E. Through late antiquity Fritz Graf sheds new light on ancient religion. Evidence of widespread belief in the efficacy of magic is pervasive: the contemporaries of Plato and Aristotle placed voodoo dolls on graves in order to harm business rivals or attract lovers. The Twelve Tables of Roman Law forbids the magical transference of crops from one field to another. Graves wells and springs throughout the Mediterranean have yielded vast numbers of Greek and Latin curse tablets. And ancient literature abounds with scenes of magic from necromancy to love spells. Graf explores the important types of magic in Greco-Roman antiquity describing rites and explaining the theory behind them. And he characterizes the ancient magician: his training and initiation social status and presumed connections with the divine world. With trenchant analysis of underlying conceptions and vivid account of illustrative cases Graf gives a full picture of the practice of magic and its implications. He concludes with an evaluation of the relation of magic to religion. Magic in the Ancient World offers an unusual look at ancient Greek and Roman thought and a new understanding of popular recourse to the supernatural. . Harvard University Press paperback

DJ spine sunned. 1 tiny chip to DJ. ; Sather Classical Lectures; 0.86 x 9.34 x 6.24 Inches; 180 pages; Using pagan fiction produced in Greek and Latin during the early Christian era G. W. Bowersock investigates the complex relationship between "historical" and "fictional" truths. This relationship preoccupied writers of the second century a time when apparent fictions about both past and present were proliferating at an astonishing rate and history was being invented all over again. With force and eloquence Bowersock illuminates social attitudes of this period and persuasively argues that its fiction was influenced by the emerging Christian Gospel narratives. Enthralling in its breadth and enhanced by two erudite appendices this is a book that will be warmly welcomed by historians and interpreters of literature. . University of California Press hardcover

Karageorghis, Vassos & Ioannis Taifacos
THE WORLD OF HERODOTUS Proceedings of an International Conference Nicosia September 18-21 2003
A. G. Leventis Foundation. Good. 2004. First Edition. Hardcover. 9963560571 . Many ink notes in black and red ink. Some edgewear to wraps. ; These twenty-five papers form the proceedings of a conference held at the Foundation Anastasios G Leventis in Nicosia Cyprus in 2002 which reflected the current revival of interest in Herodotus. As Vassos Karageorghis explains in his eloquent if brief introduction we need Herodotus as `a social anthropologist a philosopher/companion' to help us to reassess the Greek world `with impartial serenity with wisdom and good humour'. These well-presented essays focus on Herodotus presentation of Greeks and barbarians across the eastern Mediterranean and Aegean and discuss how this throws light on ancient Greek attitudes to themselves to other cultures to religion to politics and to war. The papers are wide-ranging and cover Herodotus' treatment of Cyprus Amathus Athens the Phoenicians and Scythia his principles and attitudes towards violence his realisation of the sacred landscape his rhetoric of slavery his strategies and use of lies and his accounts of war. ; 423 pages .

Gelzer, Mattias
CAESAR Politician and Statesman
Basil Blackwell. Fair with no dust jacket. 1968. Hardcover. 0631104305 . Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. Minor pencilling. Boards are reinforced with library tape. Reading copy only. ; In 1912 a young scholar published a slim volume investigating the social structure of the late Roman Republic which was in due course to transform the study of Roman history. The author Professor Gelzer went on to hold the Chair of Ancient History at Frankfurt and to become the greatest German-speaking historian of the Roman Republic since Mommsen. In 1921 he published his Caesar which has by now gone through six editions in Germany and is still the standard account in any language of Caesar and his age. It amply fulfills the author's intent "to give the educated public a lively picture of the complete political career of one of the great statesmen of the past. " Based on a conscientious evaluation of the abundant source materials--primarily the writings of Caesar and his contemporaries--Professor Gelzer's portrait renders Caesar in heroic proportions destined and determined from the beginning to overthrow a corrupt aristocracy. The sixth edition 1960 brought up to date and provided with full annotations by the author is the basis of this translation which for the first time makes the work available in English. With Professor Gelzer's approval some minor errors have been corrected both in the text and in the chronological table and the map at the end of the book and an analytical index of names has been added. ; 0.85 x 9.01 x 6.06 Inches; 368 pages .
