Hutchinson G. O.
HELLENISTIC POETRY
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0198140401 . very Minor shelfwear. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Edgewear along top edge of DJ. ; In this study of the Hellenistic poets of the third century B. C. Hutchinson provides a much-needed picture of the poetry of the period while demonstrating its quality and vitality. The work of the Hellenistic poets in the third century BC has not only an important place in Greek literature but also a particular significance for Latin poetry. Hutchinson explores the works of such writers as Theocritus Callimachus and Apollonius of Rhodes--developing a generalconception of poetry that centers around the poets' handling of tone level and form--and offers a fresh analysis of the influence of Hellenistic poetry on the city of Rome. Despite much technical work on the texts and language of these authors - Theocritus Callimachus Apollonius Rhodius and others - previous literary criticism on most of the major figures is limited in quantity and scope. He explores the work of the individual writers in turn while developing a general conception of the poetry as a whole centred around the poets' handling of tone level and form. The book concludes with a fresh approach to the influence of Hellenistic poets in Rome. All quotations in Greek or Latin have been translated by the author. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 392 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

Machon; Gow, A. S. F.
MACHON: THE FRAGMENTS Edited with an Introduction and Commentary
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1965. First Edition. Hardcover. 0521056314 . Light shelfwear to DJ and book. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. ; Machon was a writer of Comedies who lived and worked in Alexandria in the middle of the third century B. C. All of his work that survives is preserved in the Deipnosophistae of Athenaeus who besides two fragments of Comedies of no great importance quotes also 462 verses from a collection of anecdotes which Machon called Xpeiai. These anecdotes are written in the iambic verse of Comedy. They are concerned with the doings and sayings of courtesans parasites and musicians sometimes in relation to persons of historical importance. They are often scabrous but also not infrequently amusing; and they are of considerable interest both as documents of social history and as a type of literature which though popular in antiquity has hardly survived. The Xpeiai which present many problems of reading and interpretation have never before been separately edited. Recent editors of Athenaeus have improved the text; but to find commentaries it is necessary to go back to Casaubon's edition of Athenaeus published in 1600 and to Schweighauser's published in 1801-7. ; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 1; 172 pages .

The excavator's suggestion that the tomb's occupant was probably Philip son of Amyntas king of the Macedonians and Captain General of the united Greeks created an understandable sensation and aroused world-wide interest in this extraordinary personality: father of Alexander the Great one of the greatest Macedonian kings and also one of the most important political figures of antiquity. In response to this interest nine scholars all eminent specialists in the history of 4th century Greece describe the tumultuous career of Philip re-evaluate his personality and re-examine his political achievements in the light of the recent discoveries. The book closes with an account of the excavation of the fabulous treasures of the royal tombs at Vergina by Professor Andronicos. ; 254 pages . Ekdotike Athenon hardcover

THE OXFORD COMPANION TO CLASSICAL LITERATURE
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Second Revised Edition. Hardcover. 0198661215 . Foxing to textblock and endpapers and DJ flaps. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 640 pages; From Achilles's heel to the sword of Damocles Western culture teems with allusions from the rich heritage of classical literature and this new edition of The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature the first updating since Sir Paul Harvey's original edition of 1937 provides the key to these works and the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations that produced them. Substantially revising the first edition this volume condenses the findings of the most recent scholarship into highly readable prose and supplies a wealth of background information not found in Harvey's Companion. Indispensable to those studying classical literature in depth the book will be equally accessible to the non-specialist. All Greek is transliterated with translations given for all quotations from Greek and Latin. The main focus of the Companion remains the lives and works of the principal authors. Biographical entries offer the essential facts and sift the conjectural evidence while entries on the major works include discussions of the philosophical dialogues and political speeches and plot summaries of the epic poems and plays. The various literary forms--epic comedy tragedy rhetorical writing--are covered in depth supplemented by articles on the origins of the Greek and Latin alphabets and languages. The Companion also puts this literature into its societal and historical contexts including many articles on political social and artistic achievements. We learn for example about the political climate that produced the great speeches of Demosthenes and Cicero. Orators statesmen and generals stalk the pages and major battles and conquests from the time of Alexander to the fall of Rome are summarized. Articles on contemporary social mores and religious beliefs help explain literary references while the glories of philosophy science and art are celebrated from Cynics to Stoics astronomy to water-clocks and flute competitions to vase painting. Helpful maps supplement geographical entries a chronological table provides an overview of the main historical and literary events and a systematic set of cross-references links the entries. The breadth and accuracy of this volume will surely make it the standard reference book of its kind for years to come. . Oxford University Press hardcover

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
