Harris William V.
RESTRAINING RAGE The Ideology of Anger Control in Classical Antiquity
Harvard University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2001. Hardcover. 0674006186 . Very faint shelfwear Else book is fine. DJ has light edgewear with a bit of creasing. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; The angry emotions and the problems they presented were an ancient Greek preoccupation from Homer to late antiquity. From the first lines of the Iliad to the church fathers of the fourth century A. D. the control or elimination of rage was an obsessive concern. From the Greek world it passed to the Romans. Drawing on a wide range of ancient texts and on recent work in anthropology and psychology Restraining Rage explains the rise and persistence of this concern. W. V. Harris shows that the discourse of anger-control was of crucial importance in several different spheres in politics--both republican and monarchical--in the family and in the slave economy. He suggests that it played a special role in maintaining male domination over women. He explores the working out of these themes in Attic tragedy in the great Greek historians in Aristotle and the Hellenistic philosophers and in many other kinds of texts. From the time of Plato onward educated Greeks developed a strong conscious interest in their own psychic health. Emotional control was part of this. Harris offers a new theory to explain this interest and a history of the anger-therapy that derived from it. He ends by suggesting some contemporary lessons that can be drawn from the Greek and Roman experience. ; 480 pages . Harvard University Press hardcover

Hershkowitz Debra
THE MADNESS OF EPIC Reading Insanity from Homer to Statius
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0198152450 . Very faint foxing to top of textblock else book is fine. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 1.3 x 8.7 x 5.6 Inches; 360 pages; Madness plays a vital role in many ancient epics: not only do characters go mad but madness also often occupies a central thematic position in the texts. In this book Debra Hershkowitz examines from a variety of theoretical angles the representation and poetic function of madness in Greek and Latin epic from Homer through the Flavians including individual chapters devoted to the Iliad and Odyssey Virgil's Aeneid Ovid's Metamorphoses Lucan's Bellum Civile and Statius' Thebaid. The study also addresses the difficulty of defining madness and discusses how each epic explores this problem in a different way finding its own unique way of conceptualizing madness. Epic madness interacts with ancient models of madness but also even more importantly with previous representations of madness in the literary tradition. Likewise the reader's response to epic madness is influenced by both ancient and modern views of madness as well as by an awareness of intertextuality. . Oxford University Press hardcover

Kirkwood G. M.
A STUDY OF SOPHOCLEAN DRAMA
Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1958. Hardcover. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Spine lightly sunned. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. ; Although many commentators have dealt with various aspects of structure in Sophoclean drama G. M. Kirkwood contends that "Sophocles' mastery of dramatic form is accepted with casual and superficial deference rather than fully and clearly understood." This book shows how Sophocles' method of presenting character his unique handling of myth his predilection for presenting ideas by comparison and contrast and his principles of structure are so closely related that they serve to clarify each other. In an analysis of the form of Sophocles' seven extant plays Kirkwood demonstrates the existence of several deliberate and distinct types of dramatic construction. Sophocles' use of the chorus his irony and certain aspects of diction are considered as a part of his dramatic art and as elements of structure. Kirkwood discusses a number of traditional problems among them questions of consistency and meaning in passages from Ajax Antigone and Electra. He also considers the problem of "diptych" structure and shows that it is a definite dramatic shape of primary importance in understanding the three plays in which it appears. ; Cornell Studies in Classical Philology Vol. 31; 328 pages .

Winnington Ingram R. P. & Foreword and Bibliography by P. E. Easterling
SOPHOCLES An Interpretation
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. 0521226724 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Author's obituary pasted to ffep. Very light Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. ; 0.94 x 8.82 x 5.91 Inches; 358 pages; In this interpretation of the seven extant tragedies of Sophocles Professor Winnington-Ingram provides not so much a straightforward account of Sophocles as an exploration of his tragic vision of the world. The Sophoclean hero lies at the centre of this vision. Taking the plays individually but without losing sight of the single consistent mind behind them the author faces the questions of how the hero is to be regarded what we are to make of the fates he suffered and the divine powers who controlled those fates. He proceeds by a detailed study of what Sophocles wrote by close attention to form and recurrent themes and especially by close analysis of a number of choral odes. Students of Greek drama will find that this detailed study provides invaluable insights into the meaning of the tragedies. Greek in the text is translated or paraphrased so that the book will also be of interest to students of the literature and drama of other cultures. . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Edmunds Lowell Ed.
APPROACHES TO GREEK MYTH
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2014. Second Edition. Softcover. 1421414198 . Minor shelfwear else fine. ; Since the first edition of Approaches to Greek Myth was published in 1990 interest in Greek mythology has surged. There was no simple agreement on the subject of "myth" in classical antiquity and there remains none today. Is myth a narrative or a performance Can myth be separated from its context What did myths mean to ancient Greeks and what do they mean today Here Lowell Edmunds brings together practitioners of eight of the most important contemporary approaches to the subject. Whether exploring myth from a historical comparative or theoretical perspective each contributor lucidly describes a particular approach applies it to one or more myths and reflects on what the approach yields that others do not. Edmunds's new general and chapter-level introductions recontextualize these essays and also touch on recent developments in scholarship in the interpretation of Greek myth. Contributors are Jordi P�mias on the reception of Greek myth through history; H. S. Versnel on the intersections of myth and ritual; Carolina L�pez-Ruiz on the near Eastern contexts; Joseph Falaky Nagy on Indo-European structure in Greek myth; William Hansen on myth and folklore; Claude Calame on the application of semiotic theory of narrative; Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood on reading visual sources such as vase paintings; and Robert A. Segal on psychoanalytic interpretations. ; 470 pages . The Johns Hopkins University Press paperback

SAINTS AND SYMPOSIASTS The Literature of Food and the Symposium in Greco-Roman and Early Christian Culture
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2012. Hardcover. 0521886856 . Greek traditions of writing about food and the symposium had a long and rich afterlife in the first to fifth centuries CE in both Greco-Roman and early Christian culture. This book provides an account of the history of the table-talk tradition derived from Plato's Symposium and other classical texts focusing among other writers on Plutarch Athenaeus Methodius and Macrobius. It also deals with the representation of transgressive degraded eccentric types of eating and drinking in Greco-Roman and early Christian prose narrative texts focusing especially on the Letters of Alciphron the Greek and Roman novels especially Apuleius the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles and the early saints' lives. It argues that writing about consumption and conversation continued to matter: these works communicated distinctive ideas about how to talk and how to think distinctive models of the relationship between past and present distinctive and often destabilising visions of identity and holiness. ; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 430 pages .

HISTORIOGRAPHY AT THE END OF THE REPUBLIC Provincial Perspectives on Roman Rule
Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. 0199277540 . This study of six historians from the edges of the Roman world at the end of the Republic--the author of I Maccabees Posidonius Diodorus Siculus Pompeius Trogus Nicolaus of Damascus and Memnon of Heraclea--combines discussion of their biographical details the intellectual and elite culture in which they composed and the methodological difficulties of interpreting fragmentary texts with textual analysis of their representations of Rome. These authors show remarkable unity in their acceptance of Roman hegemony. Nevertheless their interpretations of Roman rule assume political significance in the light of their intentions in writing and the audiences whom they addressed. They therefore provide a unique insight into the minds of the conquered peoples and the intellectual culture which allowed them to influence their conquerors. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 416 pages .

Harris William V.
DREAMS AND EXPERIENCE IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY
Harvard University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 0674032977 . From the Iliad to Aristophanes from the gospel of Matthew to Augustine Greek and Latin texts are constellated with descriptive images of dreams. Some are formulaic others intensely vivid. The best ancient minds Plato Aristotle the physician Galen and others Struggled to understand the meaning of dreams. With Dreams and Experience in Classical Antiquity the renowned ancient historian William Harris turns his attention to oneiric matters. This cultural history of dreams in antiquity draws on both contemporary post-Freudian science and careful critiques of the ancient texts. Harris traces the history of characteristic forms of dream-�description and relates them both to the ancient experience of dreaming and to literary and religious imperatives. He analyzes the nuances of Greek and Roman belief in the truth-telling potential of dreams and in a final chapter offers an assessment of ancient attempts to understand dreams naturalistically. How did dreaming culture evolve from Homer�s time to late antiquity What did these dreams signify And how do we read and understand ancient dreams through modern eyes Harris takes an elusive subject and writes about it with rigor and precision reminding us of specificities contexts and changing attitudes through history. ; 352 pages .

Parker Grant
THE MAKING OF ROMAN INDIA
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2008. Hardcover. 0521858348 . Book is fine. Front DJ flap creased. 1 very tiny chip to DJ. ; Latin and especially Greek texts of the imperial period contain a wealth of references to 'India'. Professor Parker offers a survey of such texts read against a wide range of other sources both archaeological and documentary. He emphasises the social processes whereby the notion of India gained its exotic features including the role of the Persian empire and of Alexander's expedition. Three kinds of social context receive special attention: the trade in luxury commodities; the political discourse of empire and its limits; and India's status as a place of special knowledge embodied in 'naked philosophers'. Roman ideas about India ranged from the specific and concrete to the wildly fantastic and the book attempts to account for such variety. It ends by considering the afterlife of such ideas into late antiquity and beyond. ; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 374 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Griffin Miriam T.
SENECA ON SOCIETY A Guide to De Beneficiis
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2013. Hardcover. 0199245487 . 1 corner bumped else fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Seneca's De Beneficiis On Benefits is the only work surviving from antiquity that discusses the exchange of gifts and services. Though the topic is of great importance in practical moral philosophy sociology and in the historical study of how Roman society worked the treatise has received comparatively little scholarly notice in modern times. This is partly attributable to its length Seneca's fullest treatment of a single subject and its puzzling structure. In this volume Griffin aims to explain the philosophical sociological and historical significance of De Beneficiis and make it more accessible to readers. Divided into three sections the volume firstly defines the phenomenon Seneca treats in De Beneficiis pointing out his Stoic orientation and the relevance of his discussion to the Roman elite's code of conduct and to the phenomenon of the Princeps. The second section explores the work itself: its date addressee structure teaching strategy its relation to other works of Seneca and its later reputation up to the Renaissance. The final section provides a detailed synopsis of each book accompanied by notes in commentary form as well as separate biographical notes on the persons mentioned in De Beneficiis. ; 416 pages .

Miller John F.
APOLLO AUGUSTUS AND THE POETS
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 0521516838 . Apollo's importance in the religion of the Roman state was markedly heightened by the emperor Augustus who claimed a special affiliation with the god. Contemporary poets variously responded to this appropriation of Phoebus Apollo both participating in the construction of an imperial symbolism and resisting that ideological project. This book offers a synoptic study of 'Augustan' Apollo in Augustan poetry. Topics explored include the divine self-imaging of late Republican rivals for power poetic imaginings of Apollo's intervention at the pivotal battle of Actium how poets 'read' Augustus' new Palatine Temple of Apollo and the deity's role in the reconstituted Saecular Games and Apollo's key position in the emerging dialectic between poetics - as traditional divine patron of music and literature - and politics - as patron of Augustus. Discussions encompass the major Latin poets Horace Virgil Tibullus Propertius Ovid as well as anonymous voices in poetic lampoons encomia and contemporary Greek verse. ; 422 pages .

Wilson Malcolm
ARISTOTLE'S THEORY OF THE UNITY OF SCIENCE
University of Toronto Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0802047963 . Phoenix Supplementary Volume XXXVIII; 336 pages; <p>Aristotle was the first philosopher to provide a theory of autonomous scientific disciplines and the systematic connections between those disciplines. This book presents the first comprehensive treatment of these systematic connections: analogy focality and cumulation. </p><p>Wilson appeals to these systematic connections in order to reconcile Aristotle's narrow theory of the subject-genus described in the Posterior Analytics in terms of essential definitional connections among terms with the more expansive conception found in Aristotle's scientific practice. These connections all variations on the notion of abstraction allow for the more expansive subject-genus and in turn are based on concepts fundamental to the Posterior Analytics. Wilson thus treats the connections in their relation to Aristotle's theory of science and shows how they arise from his doctrine of abstraction. The effect of the argument is to place the connections which are traditionally viewed as marginal at the centre of Aristotle's theory of science. The scholarly work of the last decade has argued that the Posterior Analytics is essential for an understanding of Aristotle's scientific practice. Wilson's book while grounded in this research extends its discoveries to the problems of the conditions for the unity of scientific disciplines. . University of Toronto Press hardcover
