DJ has light creasing to head of spine. ; Leicester-Nottingham Studies in Ancient Society 2; 324 pages; The ancient Greco-Roman world was a world full of cities: not of cities in the modern sense of massive conglomerations but in a distinctive sense of communities in which countryside was dominated by urban centre. Interest in the special relationship of town and country in the ancient world goes back to Max Weber and beyond. This volume of papers by influential archaeologists and historians seeks to bring together the two disciplines in exploring the city-country relationship and its impact on social political economic and cultural conditions in classical antiquity. Topics include the rise of the polis in ancient Greece the economic and cultural role of city elites in Athens central Italy and Asia Minor and the role of taxation in subordinating town to country. ; Signed by Editor .

Arguing against this view this work sees early Greek rhetoric as largely unsystematic efforts to explore more by means than by precept all aspects of discourse. Replacing these early text by such treatises as the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle Cole explains can only be understood as part of a gradual process as artistic prose came to be disseminated in written texts and so available in a form that for the first time be analyzed evaluated and closely imitated. ; Ancient Society and History; 191 pages .

HELLENISTIC POETRY
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0198140401 . Scholar's name to ffep R. E. Fantham in pencil with light pencil markings on a couple of pages. Very light shelfwear to book else fine. DJ spine is sunned with tears to top of DJ spine and a few small chips. ; Special Edition for Sandpiper books -- reprint of 1988 edition. 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

May James M.
TRIALS OF CHARACTER The Eloquence of Ciceronian Ethos
The University of North Carolina Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0807817597 . Very light shelfwear to book else fine. Scholar's name to ffep R. E. Fantham. Very light edgewear to DJ else fine. ; 0.88 x 9.48 x 6.38 Inches; 224 pages; By its very nature the art of oratory involves character. Verbal persuasion entails the presentation of a persona by the speaker that affects an audience for good or ill. In this book James May explores the role and extent of Cicero's use of ethos and demonstrates its persuasive effect. May discusses the importance of ethos not just in classical rhetorical theory but also in the social political and judicial milieu of ancient Rome and then applies his insights to the oratory of Cicero. Ciceronian ethos was a complex blend of Roman tradition Cicero's own personality and selected features of Greek and Roman oratory. More than any other ancient literary genre oratory dealt with constantly changing circumstances with a wide variety of rhetorical challenges. An orator's success or failure as well as the artistic quality of his orations was largely the direct result of his responses to these circumstances and challenges. Acutely aware of his audience and its cultural heritage and steeped in the rhetorical traditions of his predecessors Cicero employed rhetorical ethos with uncanny success. May analyzes individual speeches from four different periods of Cicero's career tracing changes in the way Cicero depicted character both his own and others' as a source of persuasion changes intimately connected with the vicissitudes of Cicero's career and personal life. He shows that ethos played a major role in almost every Ciceronian speech that Cicero's audiences were conditioned by common beliefs about character and finally that Cicero's rhetorical ethos became a major source for persuasion in his oratory. .

LATIN LITERATURE FROM SENECA TO JUVENAL A Critical Study
Oxford University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0198146906 . Minor shelfwear to boards. Light pencil markings to a few pages. ; 384 pages; G. O. Hutchinson explores central aspects of the period in Latin literature often depreciatingly termed 'Silver'. It is unusual in embracing both poetry and prose and in offering close literary discussion of a large number of particular passages. It is a selective and comparative study--throwing fresh light on the period as a whole on individual authors and on differences and affinities between genres. Most space is given to epic and tragedy and to the prose of Seneca and Tacitus; but Juvenal Martial the Younger Pliny and other authors are also treated. The author also considers large features of genre and relates these to fundamental elements of style and to the treatment of some vital themes. He gives the reader a feeling for this brilliant and extraordinary writing and a sense of the excitement and fascination of the literary period. All Latin in the text is translated. .

Parke H. W. & Brian McGing editor
SIBYLS AND SIBYLLINE PROPHECY IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
Routledge. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. First Edition. Hardcover. 0415003431 . Corners are bumped. Pen lines to margins on about 9 pages. Pencil markings on 2 other pages. Small chip to one corner of DJ. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Writing in pencil to front DJ flap. ; 236 pages; In antiquity a considerable number of books of prophecies went under the general title of "Sibylline Oracles". Rulers as significant as Augustus consulted them in time of danger or crisis for advice and prognoses. Increasing numbers of "ex post facto" prophecies laying a particular interpretation on facts of recent history came to be attributed to one of the mysterious Sibyls. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Cumaean Sibyl who guides the hero in the sixth book of Vergil's "Aeneid" . In fact she was somewhat unusual in her similiarity to other oracular prophetesses such as the Pythia. For where the latter prophesied in response to particular inquirers one of the distinguishing characteristics of Sibyls was that they composed discursive verses for distribution to the world at large. This Professor Parke's last book which was virtually complete on his death in 1986 is an account of a subject both rarely treated in recent decades and difficult to access for all but the most expert. In its pursuit of the sometimes elusive Sibyls it ranges from Heraclitus to Eusebius from Archaic Asia Minor to Christian Rome. This book should be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates and academics of classics. . Routledge hardcover

Gurval Robert Alan

Dustjacket has shelfwear and rubbing. Creasing/waviness to front panel of DJ. ; On 2 September 31 B. C. E. the heir of Julius Caesar defeated the forces of Antony and Cleopatra in a naval engagement at Actium. Despite the varied judgments this battle received in antiquity common opinion held that Actium marked the start of a new era a turning point in Roman history and indeed in Western civilization. Actium and Augustus marks a turning point as well. Robert Alan Gurval's unusual approach is to examine contemporary views of the battle and its immediate political and social consequences. He starts with a consideration of the official celebration and public commemoration of the Actian victory and then moves on to other questions. What were the "Actian" monuments that Octavian erected on the battle site and later in Rome What role did the Actian victory play in the political formation of the Principate and its public ideology What was the response of contemporary poetry Throughout this volume concentrates on contemporary views of Actium and its results. Written to include the general reader Actium and Augustus presents a thoughtful examination of a complex period. All Greek and Latin quotations are translated and extensive illustrations present graphic evidence about the issues Romans faced. ; 9.75 x 1.25 x 6.5 Inches; 270 pages; Signed by Author .
