Lateiner Donald
THE HISTORICAL METHOD OF HERODOTUS
University of Toronto Press. Near Fine. 1991. Softcover. 080207684X . Light sticker residue to bottom of spine. Else Fine. ; Phoenix Supplementary Volume XXIII; 336 pages; Herodotus was the first writer in the West to conceive the value of creating a record of the recent past. He found a way to co-ordinate the often conflicting data of history ethnology and culture. The Historical Method of Herodotus explores the intellectual habits and the literary principles of this pioneer writer of prose. Donald Lateiner argues against the perception that Herodotus' work seems amorphous and ill organized that the Histories contain their own definition of historical significance. He examines patterns of presentation and literary structure in narratives speeches and direct communications to the reader in short the conventions and rhetoric of history as Herodotus created it. This rhetoric includes the use of recurring themes the relation of speech to reported actions indications of doubt stylistic idiosyncrasies frequent reference to nonverbal behaviours and strategies of opening and ending. Lateiner shows how Herodotus sometimes suppresses information on principle and sometimes compels the reader to choose among contending versions of events. His inventories of Herodotus' methods allow the reader to focus on typical practice not misleading exception. In his analysis of the structuring concepts of the Histories Lateiner scrutinizes Herodotean time and chronology. He considers the historian's admiration for ethnic freedom and autonomy the rule of law and the positive values of conflict. Despite these apparent biases he argues the text's intellectual and moral preferences present a generally cool and detached account from which an authorial personality rarely emerges. The Historical Method of Herodotus illuminates the idiosyncrasies and ambitious nature of a major text in classics and the Western tradition and touches on aspects of historiography ancient history rhetoric and the history of ideas. .

Routledge. Near Fine. 1992. Softcover. 0415082234 . Very light shelfwear else Fine. ; 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. .

Light shelfwear. ; The Cambridge History of Classical Literature; 264 pages; The period from the eight to the fifth centuries B. C. Was one of extraordinary creativity in the Greek-speaking world. Poetry was apublic and popular medium and its production was closely related to developments in contemporary society. At the time when the city states were acquiring their distinctive institutions epic found the greatest of all its exponents in Homer and lyric poetry for both solo and choral performance became a genre which attracted poets of the first rank writers of the quality of Sappho Alcaeus and Pindar whose influence on later literature was to be profound. This volume covers the epic tradition the didactic poems of Hesiod and his imitators and the wide-ranging work of the iambic elegiac and lyric poets of what is loosely called the archaic age. .

Minor Shelfwear to book. ; During the thousand years which separate Homer from Plotinus the Greeks and Romans not only created two great literatures and most of our literary genres; they also developed theories of literature and methods of criticism. These though very different from our own have nevertheless greatly influenced modern thinking especially during the early centuries of our modern literatures. Poets like Pindar Aristophanes and Horace philosophers like Plato aristotle and Philodemus orators like Cicero and Quintilian literary scholars like Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Longinus all these have left us records of their various points of view. In this book Professor Grube who is a recognized authority in this field gives us a clear full and reliable analysis of the ancient critical texts and traces the birth and developments of critical thinking thoughout the classical centuries. ; 372 pages; Signed by Author .

Ando Clifford
IMPERIAL IDEOLOGY AND PROVINCIAL LOYALTY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0520220676 . One small chip to DJ else Fine. ; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 1.57 x 9.37 x 6.31 Inches; 494 pages; The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world it did not. Rather its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question Why did the Roman empire fall Rather he asks Why did the empire last so long Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire argues that the longevity of the empire rested not on Roman military power but on a gradually realized consensus that Roman rule was justified. This consensus was itself the product of a complex conversation between the central government and its far-flung peripheries. Ando investigates the mechanisms that sustained this conversation explores its contribution to the legitimation of Roman power and reveals as its product the provincial absorption of the forms and content of Roman political and legal discourse. Throughout his sophisticated and subtle reading is informed by current thinking on social formation by theorists such as Max Weber Jrgen Habermas and Pierre Bourdieu. .

Lefkowitz Mary R.
FIRST-PERSON FICTIONS Pindar's Poetic 'I'
Oxford Clarendon Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198146868 . DJ has very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; 240 pages; This collection of essays written over a period of almost thirty years deals with one problem: who is the 'I' in the odes of the most celebrated ancient Greek poet Pindar Since antiquity the complex and allusive language of the first-person statements has provoked many different answers. Professor Lefkowitz describes the function and nature of Pindar's 'I'-statements and proposes a controversial solution that would cause some histories of Greek literature to be rewritten. Rather than accept the view that the identity of the speaker could be subject to instant and unannounced change she proposes that the voice of the victory odes is the poet himself in his most professional persona. Professor Lefkowitz also refutes the traditional belief that the odes were sung by a chorus. She shows that in most if not all cases they were sung as solos and that Pindar was continuing the tradition established by the Homeric bards. . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover
