Small white dots to back board else Fine. Inscribed to Fergus Millar from the editors. ; 261 pages; The empire created by Alexander the Great's general Seleucus constituted the largest Hellenistic kingdom of the successor states: yet this is the first substantial treatment of Seleucid history to appear for fifty years. The authors approach this important and successful state from new perspectives seeing it as part of the Middle Eastern world rather than solely in Greco-Roman terms and arguing that the Seleucid state is best understood as heir to the great Achaemenid Persian empire and earlier Middle Eastern states. They investigate the economies social structures political systems and cultures of the many peoples making up the empire and analyze in the context of colonialism and imperialism such evidence as exists for cultural changes including Hellenization. The book makes accessible the great variety of new and important documents that have been recently discovered. It will be welcomed by students teachers and all readers with an interest in Hellenistic and Middle Eastern history. ; Signed by Editors . Gerald Duckworth & Company hardcover

Vickers, Michael J.
PERICLES ON STAGE Political Comedy in Aristophanes' Early Plays
University of Texas Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0292787278 . New. Unwrapped in plastic; 255 pages; Since the eighteenth century classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "political" plays. Yet according to an anonymous Life of Aristophanes when Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse wanted to know about the government of Athens Plato sent him a copy of Aristophanes' Clouds. In this boldly revisionist work Michael Vickers convincingly argues that in his earlier plays Aristophanes in fact commented on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians. Vickers reads the first six of Aristophanes' eleven extant plays in a way that reveals the principal characters to be based in large part on Pericles and his ward Alcibiades. According to Vickers the plays of Aristophanes--far from being nonpolitical--actually allow us to gauge the reaction of the Athenian public to the events that followed Pericles' death in 429 B.C. to the struggle for the political succession and to the problems presented by Alcibiades' emergence as one of the most powerful figures in the state. This view of Aristophanes reaffirms the central role of allegory in his work and challenges all students of ancient Greece to rethink long-held assumptions about this important playwright. .

Henderson, John
A PLAUTUS READER Selections from Eleven Plays
Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers. Fine. 2009. Softcover. 0865166943 . Latin Reader; 182 pages; The comic playscripts by Plautus-the earliest Latin texts we have-made it through the ancient world to reach ours because the moves and verbal jousting found in them have always made people laugh. Plautine comedies span a wide range of idioms extending from saucy adventures in the sex trade with Father as the fall-guy who foots all bills to the trouncing of bigmouth trooper by Ms. Hot Stuff; from the fairytale wishes come true of faraway foundlings fished up on a surprise romantic shore to the caricature gospel that re-stages the myth of the birth of the hero in true panto style gods and all. Although there is no such creature as a typical Plautus play this cannily chosen set of excerpts-ranging from the best- to least-known plays-gives a good sense of how a whole script runs from opening hush through brisk cameos and spectacular showstoppers to final bow. John Hendersons energy wit and contagious affection for Plautussnappy Latin which he calls 'Plautin' take the reader along on a whirlwind laugh-out-loud tour. His combination of commentary interpretive remarks and attention to staging and metatheatrics make this edition a perfect introduction to Plautus and an incentive for further reading. Special Features Introduction that is as lively as it is informative 616 lines of unadapted Latin text from eleven Plautus plays: Asinaria 746-809 Amphitruo 361-462 Captiui 1029-36 Casina 780-854 and 1012-18 Cistellaria 203-29 Curculio 462-86 Menaechmi 77-109 and 351-69 Poenulus 1-45 and 541-66 Pseudolus 1-2 and 394-414 Rudens 938-1044 and Truculentus 482-548 Notes at the back Map and five photos Bibliography and further reading for each play Appendix on meter Guide to pronunciation of proper names<br> Online Latin text marked for reading aloud Complete vocabulary .

Riedlberger, Peter
PHILOLOGISCHER HISTORISCHER UND LITURGISCHER KOMMENTAR ZUM 8. BUCH DER JOHANNIS DES GORIPP Nebst Kritischer Edition Und Übersetzung
Egbert Forsten. Fine. 2010. Hardcover. 9069801574 . Peter Riedlbergers award-winning thesis offers an exhaustive commentary on the 8th and last book of the Iohannis. This poem intrigues its readers one more than one account: Using the well-established form of Latin epic it offers a fascinating window into the world of reconquered Roman Africa ca. 550 A. D. On one level the commentary tries to elucidate the numerous allusions to contemporary events persons and realia; on another level it firmly sets the poem in the Latin epic tradition distinguishing clearly between poetical conventions and descriptions of real-life facts. The 8th book includes an elaborate Byzantine field mass; hence the commentarys characterisation as liturgical. In addition to the commentary this book comprises a critical edition of the 8th book which differs considerably from the current standard edition the first-ever German translation and a comprehensive introduction which inter alia establishes the true name of the author Gorippus not Corippus and challenges the current notion of the function and role of late antique panegyrics. Strong points include the books high readability its many illustrations which include useful maps and several reproductions from the codex unicus which are used habitually to prove deviant readings and its modern layout which distributes the poems text and translation over the commentary rather than forcing the reader to use two bookmarks. The book comes with comprehensive indices. ; 503 pages; Text in German . Egbert Forsten hardcover

Wirth, Henning
DIE LINKE HAND Wahrnehmung Und Bewertung in Der Griechischen Und Römischen Antike
Franz Steiner Verlag. Near Fine. 2010. Softcover. 3515094490 . Very light rubbing else Fine. ; Heidelberger Althistorische Beitrage Und Epigraphische Studien Band 47; Vol. 47; 283 pages; English summary: Human perception includes the division of space into left and right. In general left holds a negative connotation: A clumsy man appears linkisch in German links meaning left and the term translates as awkward. If you conned him he has been gelinkt. For a long time this negative coloring was also closely associated with the image of left-handers: Left-handers were often regarded as disabled appeared awkward and antisocial and were exposed to discrimination. To understand the people of ancient Greece and Rome one must understand the role right and left played in their perception and evaluation of the world. Henning Wirth studies the following questions from an ancient historical perspective: How did the Greeks and Romans perceive left What role was provided to the left hand in a dominantly right-handed world where the right hand attested Godly effectiveness And how does one explain the phenomenon of left-handedness and assessment of left-handed people German text. German description: Zur menschlichen Wahrnehmung gehort die Einteilung des Raumes in links und rechts. Dabei ist links in der Regel negativ konnotiert: Ein ungeschickter Mensch erscheint alinkisch. Hat man ihn betrogen so hat man ihn agelinkt. Lange Zeit war diese Negativfarbung auch eng mit dem Bild uber Linkshander verknupft: Linkshander galten oftmals als behindert erschienen asozial und ungeschickt und waren Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt. Will man den Menschen der griechischen und romischen Antike verstehen muss man nachvollziehen welche Rolle rechts und links in seiner Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der Welt spielten. Aus althistorischer Perspektive untersucht Henning Wirth hier folgende Fragen: Welche Vorstellungen besassen Griechen und Romer von links' Welche Rolle war in einer mehrheitlich aus Rechtshandern bestehenden Welt in der der rechten Hand gottliche Wirkkraft attestiert wurde fur die linke Hand vorgesehen' Und wie erklarte man sich das Phanomen der Linkshandigkeit und bewertete linkshandige Menschen' .
