Finley, M. I
THE ANCIENT ECONOMY
University of California Press. Very Good. 1973. Softcover. 0520024362 . Wraps a bit browned. Corner creasing to 1 page. ; Sather Classical Lectures 43; 222 pages; "Technical progress economic growth productivity even efficiency have not been significant goals since the beginning of time " declares M. I. Finley in his classic work. The states of the ancient Mediterranean world had no recognizable real-property market never fought a commercially inspired war witnessed no drive to capital formation and assigned the management of many substantial enterprises to slaves and ex-slaves. In short to study the economies of the ancient world one must begin by discarding many premises that seemed self-evident before Finley showed that they were useless or misleading. These sagacious fertile and occasionally combative essays are just as electrifying today as when Finley first wrote them. . University of California Press paperback

Davidson, James N.
COURTESANS AND FISHCAKES The Consuming Passions of Classical Athens
Harper Perennial. Very Good. 1999. Softcover. 0060977663 . Pages tanned. Minor shelfwear. ; 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. . Harper Perennial paperback

GREEK AND ROMAN HISTORIOGRAPHY
Oxford University Press. Very Good. 2011. Softcover. 0199233500 . Light shelfwear. ; Greek and Roman Historiography is a collection of important articles from the last thirty years which treat the ways in which the ancient Greeks and Romans thought about and wrote their histories. Six of these articles have been translated into English for the first time. Avoiding issues such as sources and reliability which were the concern of earlier scholarship the contributors focus much more on how the ancients themselves engaged with their past: the relationship between myth and history; the role of memory and oral tradition as they shaped both Greek and Roman notions of the past; the role of the historian in giving form and meaning to his history; and the different notions of historical truth and falsehood. A specially written introduction places the essays in the larger context of earlier and more recent trends in the study of Greek and Roman historiography. ; Oxford Readings In Classical Studies; 21.6 X 14 X 2.6 centimeters; 510 pages .

State University of New York Press. Very Good. 1984. Softcover. 0873957733 . Creasing to spine. Edgewear to spine with minor colour loss. ; One of the reasons for the study of the Greek and Roman classics is their perpetual relevance. In no other area can this position be more clearly defended than in the investigation of the feminine condition for it was here that basic attitudes derogatory to the sex were molded by legal and social systems by philosophers and poets and by the thinking of men long since gone. Women in the Ancient World brings together essays that examine philosophy social history literature and art and that extend from the early Greek period through the Roman Empire. Their wide range of critical perspectives throws new light on the personal political socio-economic and cultural position of women; 377 pages . State University of New York Press paperback

BLACK ATHENA REVISITED
The University of North Carolina Press. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0807845558 . Very minor shelfwear. ; 544 pages; Was Western civilization founded by ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians Can the ancient Egyptians usefully be called black Did the ancient Greeks borrow religion science and philosophy from the Egyptians and Phoenicians Have scholars ignored the Afroasiatic roots of Western civilization as a result of racism and anti-Semitism In this collection of twenty essays leading scholars in a broad range of disciplines confront the claims made by Martin Bernal in Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization. In that work Bernal proposed a radical reinterpretation of the roots of classical civilization contending that ancient Greek culture derived from Egypt and Phoenicia and that European scholars have been biased against the notion of Egyptian and Phoenician influence on Western civilization. The contributors to this volume argue that Bernal's claims are exaggerated and in many cases unjustified. Topics covered include race and physical anthropology; the question of an Egyptian invasion of Greece; the origins of Greek language philosophy and science; and racism and anti-Semitism in classical scholarship. In the conclusion to the volume the editors propose an entirely new scholarly framework for understanding the relationship between the cultures of the ancient Near East and Greece and the origins of Western civilization. .

Dustjacket has minor edgewear with 1 tiny tear. ; 1.26 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 352 pages; With an examination into Xenophon's longer historical works the "Hellenica" and the "Anabasis" Dillery considers how far these texts reflect the Greek intellectual world of the fourth and fifth centuries B. C. rather than focusing on the traditional question of how accurate they are as histories. Through the analysis of the complete corpus of Xenophon's work and the writings of his contemporaries Xenophon is shown to be very much a man of his times concerned with topical issues ranging from panhellenism and utopia to how far the gods controlled human history. .

TELLING WONDERS Ethnographic and Political Discourse in the Work of Herodotus
University of Michigan Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2001. Hardcover. 0472112031 . Book has very minor shelfwear else fine pencil bibliography notes to ffep. DJ has 1 closed tear 2 cm to front panel and light creasing. ; As he explores the causes of the East-West conflict from its most remote antecedents Herodotus includes conflicting traditions about different historical periods as well as apparently tangential descriptions of the customs of faraway peoples. What was his aim in combining such diverse material Rosaria Vignolo Munson argues that Herodotus' aim was two-fold: to use historical narrative to illuminate the present and to describe barbarian customs so that the Greeks might understand themselves. Herodotus assumes the role of advisor to his audience acting as a master of metaphor and oracular speech and as an intellectual fully aware of new philosophical and political trends. By comparing interpreting and evaluating facts through time and space or simply by pointing them out as objects of "wonder" he teaches that correct political action is linked to an appropriate approach to foreigners and additional "others." Munson relies on traditional scholarship and modern studies in narratology and related critical fields to distinguish between narrative and metanarrative providing a framework for analyzing the construction of Herodotus' discourse and his presentation of himself through it. ; 325 pages .

Wilkinson, L. P.
HORACE AND HIS LYRIC POETRY
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1968. Softcover. 0521095530 . Rubbing to wraps. Edgewear along spine. Small piece torn at head of spine 1 cm. Former owner's name and blindstamp to titlepage. ; Horace is viewed as the poet of the Odes and Epodes -- the incomparable genius of the lyric form and a sympathetic and engaging character. Like most Roman poets Horace was not inventive in subject-matter -- rather it is the manner of his writing his mastery of form rhythm and cadence that have charmed and captivated his readers for centuries. This is the aspect of Horace that is studied here with much grace and insight with profound and liberal scholarship and with a readily communicated affection. ; 192 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback

Cicero Marcus Tullius; James M. May & Jakob Wisse
CICERO: ON THE IDEAL ORATOR DE ORATORE Translated with Introduction Notes Appendixes Glossary and Indexes
Oxford University Press. Very Good. 2001. Paperback. 0195091981 . Very Minor shelfwear. Scholar's name to inner cover Mark Possanza. ; In On the Ideal Orator De oratore Cicero the greatest Roman orator and prosewriter of his day gives his mature views on rhetoric oratory and philosophy. Cast in the lively literary form of a dialogue this classic work presents a daring view of the orator as the master of all language communication while still emphasizing his role at the heart of Roman society and politics. Cicero's conception of the ideal orator represents his own original synthesis of the positions of the philosophers and the rhetoricians in the age-old quarrel between these disciplines. The first translation of De oratore in over fifty years this volume is ideal for courses on Cicero and on the history of rhetoric/oratory. James May and Jakob Wisse provide an accurate and accessible translation which is based on--and contributes to--recent advances in our understanding of De oratore and of the many aspects of ancient rhetoric philosophy and history relevant to it. Their translation reflects the many variations of Cicero's style which are essential ingredients of the work. The volume includes extensive annotation based on current scholarship and offering significant original contributions as well. It is also enhanced by a full introduction covering all important aspects of both the work and its historical background; appendices on Cicero's works figures of thought and speech and alternate manuscript readings; a glossary of terms from rhetoric and Roman life and politics; and a comprehensive index of names and places. ; 384 pages . Oxford University Press paperback
