ENNIUS PERENNIS The Annals and Beyond
Cambridge Philological Society. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2007. Hardcover. 0906014301 . Scholar's small bookplate to ffep R. E. Fantham with very light pencil marginalia to 1 page. Faint creasing along upper edge of DJ. ; Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society Supplementary Volume 31; Vol. 31; 172 pages; Ennius Perennis: the Annals and Beyond is a collection of eight essays by an international group of scholars on different aspects of the poetry and legacy of Quintus Ennius 239-169 BC. Ennius' epic poem the Annals and his many other works including tragedies satires and epigrams survive only in mystifying fragments but his influence on Latin poetry was enormous. He is now beginning to be appreciated thanks both to excellent critical editions and to more enlightened literary and historical approaches as a complex and varied poet and a fascinating representative of an era of intense cultural and political change. While they acknowledge the extent to which later authors are responsible for creating a misleading perception of Ennius as monolithic jingoistic and clumsy these essays also reflect on what can be said about the nature and aims of his work given the limitations of our evidence. Subjects discussed include Cicero's "invention" of Ennius the part played by the cor heart in unifying Ennius' literary project the possibility of "further voices" and a role for women in Ennius Virgil's fraught "father-son" relationship with his epic predecessor and Ennius' later reincarnation in the works of Horace and Petrarch. The collection is likely to appeal to all who are interested in Latin literature literary history or reception studies. . Cambridge Philological Society hardcover

Book has very minor shelfwear. ; In this book James Sickinger explores the use and preservation of public records especially laws and decrees in the ancient Athenian democracy of the archaic and classical periods. This book challenges the growing orthodoxy in classical scholarship that characterizes Athenian literacy and record keeping as crude and primitive before the fourth century B. C. It argues instead that the practical use and preservation of laws decrees and other state documents were hallmarks of Athenian society from the earliest times. ; Studies in the History of Greece and Rome; 1.03 x 9.59 x 6 Inches; 274 pages .

THE POLITICAL ORGANIZATION OF ATTICA A Study of the Demes Trittyes and Phylai and Their Representation in the Athenian Council
American School of Classical Studies. Very Good-. 1975. Softcover. 0876615140 . Former owner's name on titlepage. Foxing to first few pages. ; Hesperia Supplement XIV; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 150 pages; Using inscriptions recording council membership recovered by excavations in the Athenian Agora the author presents a detailed reconstruction of the political geography of Attica. The reforms of the 6th-century B. C. Politician Cleisthenes organized Athenian citizens into ten tribes phylai divided into thirty "thirds" trittyes and 139 local units demes. The author shows how this visionary arrangement was maintained almost unchanged until at least 200 B. C. And provided the basis for the whole representative system at the center of ancient democracy. Charts and tables document the evidence in great detail but the whole arrangement is made easier to understand by the inclusion of a color map the basis for almost all scholarship on Athenian politics since this book was first published. .

WHY HOMER MATTERS
Henry Holt and Co. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 1627791795 . Some creasing to DJ flaps. Lower corners of book a bit bumped. ; Why Homer Matters is a magical journey of discovery across wide stretches of the past sewn together by the poems themselves and their metaphors of life and trouble. Homer's poems occupy as Adam Nicolson writes "a third space" in the way we relate to the past: not as memory which lasts no more than three generations nor as the objective accounts of history but as epic invented after memory but before history poetry which aims "to bind the wounds that time inflicts." The Homeric poems are among the oldest stories we have drawing on deep roots in the Eurasian steppes beyond the Black Sea but emerging at a time around 2000 B. C. When the people who would become the Greeks came south and both clashed and fused with the more sophisticated inhabitants of the Eastern Mediterranean. ; 320 pages . Henry Holt and Co. hardcover

Burkert Walter; translated by Margaret E. Pinder & Walter Burkert
THE ORIENTALIZING REVOLUTION Near Eastern Influence on Greek Culture in the Early Archaic Age
Harvard University Press. Very Good. 1997. Softcover. 067464364X . Former owner's name on ffep. ; Revealing Antiquity 5; 238 pages; The rich and splendid culture of the ancient Greeks has often been described as emerging like a miracle from a genius of its own owing practically nothing to its neighbours. Walter Burkert offers an argument against that distorted view pointing toward a balanced picture of the archaic period "in which under the influence of the Semitic East Greek culture began its unique flowering soon to assume cultural hegemony in the Mediterranean". Burkert focuses on the "orientalizing" century 750-650 B.C. the period of Assyrian conquest Phoenician commerce and Greek exploration of both East and West when not only eastern skills and images but also the Semitic art of writing was transmitted to Greece. He tracks the migrant craftsmen who brought the Greeks new techniques and designs the wandering seers and healers teaching magic and medicine and the important Greek borrowings from Near Eastern poetry and myth. Drawing widey on archaeological textual and historical evidence he demonstrates that eastern models significantly affected Greek literature and religion in the Homeric age. .

Author's signature to titlepage with gift inscription to ffep. 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 .

Cicero; David Stockton
THIRTY-FIVE LETTERS OF CICERO Selected and Edited with Introductions and Notes
Oxford University Press. Very Good. 1988. Softcover. 0199120056 . Former owner's name to titlepage. Light shelfwear. ; These letters have been selected to show Cicero in his mature years from 65 to 44 B. C. They have not been chosen to illustrate details of social life and manners though such details inevitably occur in them : the main emphasis is political and the linking commentary that precedes each letter is designed to set it against the political background. The commentary is intended to supply not merely assist with the translation of the Latin and understanding of the syntax but more particularly the indispensable background of social and historical information without which the study of Cicero�s letters would be largely wasted labor. The introduction too while sketching the career of Cicero also clarifies the political background of the period. In general this edition will serve not merely as an introduction to Cicero�s letters but as giving some substance and immediacy to the study of the history of the late Republic. The text is that of the Oxford edition but care has been taken to produce a �clean� text and occasionally different readings have been admitted from those printed in the Oxford text though these are generally noted and justified in the commentary. There are two appendices on the Roman calendar and on Roman money an index of proper names and of subject-matter and a select vocabulary. David Stockton 1925-2012 attended the Emanuel School and in 1943 was conscripted into the Royal Navy and worked on Japanese codes at Bletchley Park. A colleague at Brasenose observed that this experience may have honed his formidable skills at solving crosswords a devotion to which was shared by Inspector Morse author Colin Dexter. After the war Stockton won an open scholarship to read Classics at Magdalen College and went onto become a Fellow and Tutor at Brasenose College. His wide-ranging body of work includes what is widely regarded as the leading study on Cicero published in the 20th century.; 241 pages . Oxford University Press paperback

DJ has faint creasing along top edge. ; A fiercely independent thinker colorful storyteller and spirited teacher David Grene devoted his life to two things: farming which he began as a boy in Ireland and continued into old age; and classics which he taught for several decades that culminated in his translating and editing with Richmond Lattimore of The Complete Greek Tragedies. In this charming memoir which he wrote during the years leading up to his death in 2002 at the age of eighty-nine Grene weaves together these interests to tell a quirky and absorbing story of the sometimes turbulent and always interesting life he split between the University of Chicago�where he helped found the Committee on Social Thought�and the farm he kept back in Ireland. Charting the path that took him from Europe to Chicago in 1937 and encompassing his sixty-five-year career at the university Grene�s book draws readers into the heady and invigorating climate of his time there. And it is elegantly balanced with reflections stemming from his work on the farm where he hunted plowed and regularly traveled on horseback to bring his cows home for milking. Grene�s form and humor are quite his own and his brilliant storytelling will enthrall anyone interested in the classics rural Ireland or twentieth-century intellectual history especially as it pertains to the University of Chicago. ; 184 pages .

Jenkyns Richard Ed.
THE LEGACY OF ROME A New Appraisal
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0198219172 . Book is fine. DJ has scratches along top edge. ; If the grandeur that was Rome has long since vanished the impact of the Eternal City can still be felt in virtually every corner of Western culture. Students of speech and rhetoric to this day study the works of Cicero for guidance. We find Roman Law setting the model for legal systems from the twelfth century to the present. And Latin itself far from being a "dead language" lives on not only in the Romance languages but also in English vocabulary and grammar. Rhetoric language law--these are just a small part of the great Roman influence that has lasted throughout the centuries. The Legacy of Rome has long been considered the standard introduction to the achievements of the Roman world. Now in a completely new edition this classic work brings together the latest scholarship in the field from some of the world's leading classical scholars. Unlike the previous version which focused on such narrow topics as commerce and administration the new edition broadens the spectrum of influence showing the impact for example of Roman literature art politics law and language on western civilization. Jasper Griffin for instance looks to the works of Shakespeare Milton Keats and Wordsworth among others to trace the lasting influence of the great Roman poet Virgil on the development of poetic forms such as the pastoral epitomized by Virgil's Eclogues and the epic poem exemplified by the Aeneid. A. T. Grafton shows how Renaissance intellectuals such as Machiavelli and Guicciardini looked to Rome's past for political enlightenment and found models of military strategy in the works of Tacitus and Livy. Editor Richard Jenkyns dispels the misconception of the Romans as purely imitative of the Greeks; he points out such uniquely Roman concepts as jurisprudence and citizenship and architecture based on the round arch and the vault as evidence of Roman innovativeness. Other contributors--George A. Kennedy Robert Feenstra and Nicholas Purcell--discuss the importance of the study of Roman rhetoric in preparing speakers for public life the lasting influence of the Justinian code on Western legal development and the impact on future civilizations of the romanticized notion of an imperial Rome and its magical ruins. ; 518 pages .

Lacey W. K.
THE FAMILY IN CLASSICAL GREECE
Cornell University Press. Near Fine. 1984. Softcover. 0801492742 . Very Minor shelfwear. ; Aspects of Greek and Roman Life; 342 pages; In this well-researched and coherent introduction to family life in classical Greece Mr Lacey explains the structure of the family the social and economic pressures that affected it and the complicated legal measures that were devised to regulate and protect it. Even though the family has always been a fundamental institution in Greek society this is the first study in English devoted to it. This book deals in detail with the family in the archaic and classical ages -- the great era of the city-states. It was during this period that a close and complex relationship existed between the family and the city-state. Each city-state was in fact the sum total of the households contained in it and each household resembled a miniature kingdom with its own gods and lands and the head of the house exercised almost royal powers over his children. So powerful and close-knit was the family group that it was regarded by politicians and philosophers including Plato and Aristotle as damaging to their ideals of personal detachment and public service and even as a menace to the unity of the state. Mr Lacey supports his views of family life by quoting and discussing relevant writings of the Greek philosophers and by citing contemporary literature especially the comedies. He analyzes also the valuable evidence supplied by inscriptions vase paintings sculpture terracottas and coins many of which are presented in black-and-white photographs. From ancient times until today the most pervasive force in Greek life has been the family.
