THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1992. Softcover. 0521421640 . Scholar's initial to inner cover Jenifer Neils. ; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages .

THE IMAGERY OF THE ATHENIAN SYMPOSIUM
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2012. Hardcover. 1107011027 . Minor pencil underlining and notes by Jenifer Neils to a few pages. Else book has very minor shelfwear. ; The late sixth and early fifth centuries BC were a dynamic time in the history of the symposium and hundreds of vase paintings from this period show people engaged in sympotic activities. Most scholars have understood these images as illustrations of contemporary Athenian practices but such an interpretation cannot account for the enormous variety of settings costumes and participants in the images nor is it easily reconciled with recent methodological developments in the study of vase painting. Noting the close link between the symposium and the polis in ancient thought this book approaches the images not as documents of contemporary sympotic practice but as vehicles for exploring what it meant to be a Greek community. It argues that many of the images depict imagined ancestral symposia and that they thus shed new light on how the Athenians envisioned the history of the symposium and its importance to their city. ; 10.1 X 7.2 X 1.0 inches; 233 pages .

THE DAILY LIFE OF THE GREEK GODS
Stanford University Press. Very Good. 2000. Softcover. 0804736146 . Light Foxing to textblock. ; Despite the rousing stories of male heroism in battles the Trojan War transcended the activities of its human participants. For Homer it was the gods who conducted and accounted for what happened. In the first part of this book the authors find in Homer s Iliad material for exploring the everyday life of the Greek gods: what their bodies were made of and how they were nourished the organization of their society and the sort of life they led both in Olympus and in the human world. The gods are divided in their human nature: at once a fantasized model of infinite joys and an edifying example of engagement in the world they have loves festivities and quarrels. In the second part the authors show how citizens carried on everyday relations with the gods and those who would become the Olympians inviting them to reside with humans organized in cities. At the heart of rituals and of social life the gods were omnipresent: in sacrifices at meals in political assemblies in war in sexuality. In brief the authors show how the gods were indispensable to the everyday social organization of Greek cities. ; Mestizo Spaces; 0.71 x 8.5 x 5.56 Inches; 287 pages .

Lyons Deborah J.
GENDER AND IMMORTALITY Heroines in Ancient Greek Myth and Cult
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1996. Hardcover. 0691011001 . Book in plastic sleeve. Light Foxing/dustsoiling to book and DJ. Else very minor shelfwear. ; 1.25 x 10 x 6.75 Inches; 288 pages; In recent years the topic of ancient Greek hero cult has been the focus of considerable discussion among classicists. Little attention however has been paid to female heroized figures. Here Deborah Lyons argues for the heroine as a distinct category in ancient Greek religious ideology and daily practice. The heroine she believes must be located within a network of relations between male and female mortal and immortal. Using evidence ranging from Homeric epic to Attic vase painting to ancient travel writing she attempts to re-integrate the feminine into our picture of Greek notions of the hero. According to Lyons heroines differ from male heroes in several crucial ways among which is the ability to cross the boundaries between mortal and immortal. She further shows that attention to heroines clarifies fundamental Greek ideas of mortal/immortal relationships. The book first discusses heroines both in relation to heroes and as a separate religious and mythic phenomenon. It examines the cultural meanings of heroines in ritual and representation their use as examples for mortals and their typical "biographies." The model of "ritual antagonism" in which two mythic figures represented as hostile share a cult is ultimately modified through an exploration of the mythic correspondences between the god Dionysos and the heroines surrounding him and through a rethinking of the relationship between Iphigeneia and Artemis. An appendix which identifies more than five hundred heroines rounds out this lively work. . Princeton University Press hardcover

IMAGES IN MIND Statues in Archaic and Classical Greek Literature and Thought
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2001. Hardcover. 0691044317 . Small tears to head of spine. Faint foxing to top of textblock. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; 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.'

Book is fine. ; Challenging the conventional perception of ancient Greece as the paradigm for unified models of culture this study offers an alternative view of archaic and classical Greece. It is one in which the contact conflict and collaboration of a variety of "subcultures" combine to comprise what we now understand as "Greekness." The volume argues for the recognition and analysis of cultural contact within Greece focusing on the micromechanics of cultural exchange the permeability of cultural boundaries and the significance of Delphi's geographically marginal yet symbolically central location as an "internal contact zone." ; 9.8 X 6.8 X 0.9 inches; 310 pages .

Minor creasing lower corner of DJ. ; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages .

Golden Mark
GREEK SPORT AND SOCIAL STATUS
University of Texas Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 0292718691 . Slight sticker residue to DJ. ; From the ancient Olympic games to the World Series and the World Cup athletic achievement has always conferred social status. In this collection of essays a noted authority on ancient sport discusses how Greek sport has been used to claim and enhance social status both in antiquity and in modern times. Mark Golden explores a variety of ways in which sport provided a route to social status. In the first essay he explains how elite horsemen and athletes tried to ignore the important roles that jockeys drivers and trainers played in their victories as well as how female owners tried to rank their equestrian achievements above those of men and other women. In the next essay Golden looks at the varied contributions that slaves made to sport despite its use as a marker of free Greek status. In the third essay he evaluates the claims made by gladiators in the Greek east that they be regarded as high-status athletes and asserts that gladiatorial spectacle is much more like Greek sport than scholars today usually admit. In the final essay Golden critiques the accepted accounts of ancient and modern Olympic history arguing that attempts to raise the status of the modern games by stressing their links to the ancient ones are misleading. He concludes that the contemporary movement to call a truce in world conflicts during the Olympics is likewise based on misunderstandings of ancient Greek traditions. ; Fordyce W.
