Davis Gregson
POLYHYMNIA The Rhetoric of Horation Lyric Discourse
University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0520070771 . Very Minor shelfwear to book. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. DJ has minor edgewear with light creasing. Spine a bit sunned. ; Horace's Odes have a surface translucency that belies their rhetorical sophistication. Gregson Davis brings together recent trends in the study of Augustan poetry and critical theory and deftly applies them to individual poems. Exploring four rhetorical strategies--what he calls modes of assimilation authentication consolation and praise and dispraise--Davis produces enlightening new interpretations of this classic work. Polyhymnia named after one of the Muses invoked in Horace's opening poem revises the common image of Horace as a complacent uncomplicated and basically superficial singer. Focusing on the artistic persona--the lyric "self" that is constituted in the text--Davis explores how the lyric speaker constructs subtle "arguments" whose building-blocks are topoi recurrent motifs and generic conventions. By examining the substructure of lyric argument in groupings of poems sharing similar strategies the author discloses the major principles that inform Horatian lyric composition. ; 293 pages .

Kirk James
HOMER AND THE EPIC A Shortened Version of 'the Songs of Homer'
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1965. Softcover. 0521093562 . Minor shelfwear. Spine sunned and a bit creased. Light bump to top of spine. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; 243 pages; This is a shortened and rearranged version of The Songs of Homer. The literature of the western world begins with one of its greatest achievements. The stories of the wrath of Achilles and its consequences and of the wanderings of Odysseus have been admired from ancient times to the present day. The two great epics can be read and enjoyed unreflectingly as tales of adventure; or they can be studied as literature yielding as insight and understanding grow a deeper and more permanent pleasure. Professor Kirk's book is the means to this pleasure. It is a vivid and comprehensive account of the background and development of the Homeric poems and of their quality as literature. The epics are seen primarily as oral poetry sung for centuries by illiterate singers; and from this view rises discussion of the problems of authorship and transmission. The historical archaeological and linguistic evidence is also examined; and the possible contributions of the Mycenaean period and of the subsequent Dark Age are shown in a fresh light. .

Starr Chester G.
THE INFLUENCE OF SEA POWER ON ANCIENT HISTORY
NY: Oxford University Press. Very Good. 1989. Softcover. 0195056671 . Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. Light shelfwear. ; 105pp maps. Alfred Thayer Mahan's nineteenth-century classic The Influence of Sea Power Upon History has long occupied a central place in the canon of strategic thought. But as Chester G. Starr shows in this thought-provoking work Mahan's theories have also led to serious misperceptions among historians about the significance of naval superiority in antiquity. This analytical study of the role of sea power from the second millennium B. C. To the end of the Roman Empire illustrates both the utility and the limitations of naval power. Focusing on Athens and Carthage Starr demonstrates that control of the seas was not always a strategic necessity. Similarly he examines the Roman imperial navy--the most advanced and widely-based naval structure in antiquity--noting that when Rome fell it was due to invasions by land not sea. Starr describes major naval battles in fascinating detail and analyzes technological developments as they reveal the limitations of galleys in warfare. This innovative study provides an important corrective to Mahan's thesis both as applied to ancient history and to modern strategic thought--making it provocative reading for those interested in ancient history and also for those who follow military history. ; 105 pages .

Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1994. Softcover. 0521466423 . Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. Light chipping to corners of wraps and spine ends. Minor shelfwear. ; Centering on the examination of the social and legal context of adultery homosexuality impiety and the public-private dichotomy in Athenian society this book attempts to examine the problems of social control and the regulation of sexuality in a way that will be of interest to a broad readership. It uses a comparative approach to show how the examination of such issues can deepen our understanding of classical Athens particularly in regard to the role of law in society. Further it argues that this historical investigation can in turn enrich our general appreciation of the relation of social and legal norms and the roles they play in regulating complex social practices such as those associated with sexuality morals and the family. This illuminating book develops a view of classical Athenian society that emphasizes the study of social control as the dynamic interplay of legal and social norms within the context of ideology and practice. ; 0.87 x 9.33 x 6.22 Inches; 271 pages .

Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. ; 1.25 x 10 x 6.75 Inches; 371 pages; British historian Davidson takes us inside classical Greece's brothels bedrooms drinking parties and banquets in this rarefied scholarly inquiry. His aim is not merely to depict Athenians as pleasure seekers but to overturn the current notion purveyed by Michel Foucault and others that Athens was a "phallocratic" society permeated with an ethos of penetration and domination a homosexual-leaning culture polarized between adult male citizens and all others: Slaves women boys foreigners. He largely succeeds on all counts bringing to convivial life a predominantly heterosexual society where classes mingled easily; cultured courtesans bedded leading figures like Pericles and Alcibiades; and wives participated fully in sexual pleasures. Drawing on ancient treatises pamphlets comic plays poems and speeches Davidson investigates the classical Greeks' indulgences including their mania for eating fish A luxury viewed as hedonistic And their tolerance for booze and sex though sex addicts were considered to have a lower capacity to resist the natural pleasures. His intriguing study serves up a banquet of arcane lore. . St. Martin's Press hardcover

Ars Amatoria The Art of Love and Remedia Amoris Cures for Love which purport to teach young Roman men and women how to be good lovers were partly responsible for the poet's exile from Rome under the emperor Augustus. None the less they exerted great influence over ancient and later love poetry. This is the first collection in English devoted to the poems and brings together many of the leading figures in the field of Latin literature and Ovidian studies from the British Isles Germany Italy and the United States. It offers a range of perspectives on the poetics politics and erotics of the poems beginning with a critical survey of recent research and concluding with papers on the ancient medieval and modern reception of the poems. ; 387 pages .

HELLENISTIC HISTORY AND CULTURE
University of California Press. Very Good. 1993. Softcover. 0520203259 . Light edgewear. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. ; Hellenistic Culture & Society No 9; 0.9 x 8.8 x 6 Inches; 293 pages; In a 1988 conference American and British scholars unexpectedly discovered that their ideas were converging in ways that formed a new picture of the variegated Hellenistic mosaic. That picture emerges in these essays and eloquently displays the breadth of modern interest in the Hellenistic Age. A distrust of all ideologies has altered old views of ancient political structures and feminism has also changed earlier assessments. The current emphasis on multiculturalism has consciously deemphasized the Western Greco-Roman tradition and Nubians Bactrians and other subject peoples of the time are receiving attention in their own right not just as recipients of Greco-Roman culture. History like Herakleitos' river never stands still. These essays share a collective sense of discovery and a sparking of new ideas--they are a welcome beginning to the reexploration of a fascinatingly complex age. .

SOURCES FOR ANCIENT HISTORY With Contributions from Emilio Gabba Fergus Millar Anthony Snodgrass
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1983. Paperback. 0521289580 . Wraps have yellowing. Minor shelfwear. Scholar's blindstamp to ffep Robert Brown. ; If a scholar wishes to create a picture of a topical society in all its aspects there is little of what he needs to know that he cannot know although there may still be much that he cannot understand. For the history of Greece and Rome there is a great deal that is simply unknowable. From the end of the archaic age of Greece there is an unbroken sequence of works by Greek and later Roman historians down to the end of antiquity. Their vision and range of interest were often limited and much of what they produced has been lost. Some help may be derived from the documentary material supplied in antiquity material that was the product of officials organising public activities or heads of families organising their affairs or individuals leaving their mark on the world. Beyond this the evidence of archaeology and numismatics may also be helpful. The four essays in this book set out to characterise the nature of the ancient literary tradition the inscriptional material the archaeological and numismatic evidence and to explain how and for what purposes they may be used.
