Scholar's name to ffep Martin Cropp. Very light shelfwear else fine. ; 0.75 x 9.5 x 6.5 Inches; 194 pages; This volume complements D. J. Conacher's two earlier studies of Aeschylus Aeschylus' `Prometheus Bound' 1980 and Aeschylus' `Oresteia' 1987 and completes his literary commentary on the extant plays of Aeschylus. In this volume Conacher provides a detailed running commentary on the three earlier plays The Persians The Seven against Thebes and The Suppliants as well as an analysis of their themes structure and dramatic techniques and devices. In two more general studies he reviews Aeschylus' dramatic uses of the chorus and of imagery. Conacher's close readings of the text and sensitive analysis of the main problems in the plays will be of benefit to students especially those encountering these plays for the first time either in Greek or in translation. He also provides a thorough overview of the various interpretative and philological problems and opinions encountered in Aeschylean scholarship which will be of interest to senior scholars as well as students. .

FROM GOOD GODDESS TO VESTAL VIRGINS Sex and Category in Roman Religion
Routledge. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0415132339 . Scholar's name to ffep R. E. Fantham. Else book is fine. 1 small closed tear to DJ 1 cm. Else Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; 0.79 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 207 pages; The role of women in Roman culture and society was a paradoxical one. They enjoyed social material and financial independence yet they were denied basic constitutional rights. Although Roman history is not short of powerful female figures such as Agrippina and Livia their power stemmed from their associations with great men and was not officially recognized. Ariadne Staples' book examines how women in Rome were perceived both by themselves and by men through women's participation in Roman religion as Roman religious ritual provided the single public arena where women played a significant formal role. From Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins argues that the ritual roles played out by women were vital in defining them sexually and that these sexually defined categories spilled over into other aspects of Roman culture including political activity. Staples provides an arresting and original analysis of the role of women in Roman society which challenges traditionally held views and provokes further questions. . Routledge hardcover

Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1994. Softcover. 0521098904 . Very faint creasing to 1 corner of wraps. Minor shelfwear. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 177 pages; The theme of Sophocles' Philoctetes is of lasting significance. It revolves round Neoptolemus' struggles with his conscience and Philoctetes' strength in adversity and refusal to accept any compromise. Sophocles explores the relationship between the two central characters with powerful subtlety. The main emphasis in Professor Webster's commentary is on explaining the impact of the play through metre and language rather than on the examination and comparison of points of grammatical and syntactical usage. He deals with all the essential problems of the play at a level appropriate to the needs of students in the upper forms of schools and at university. . Cambridge University Press paperback

Aris & Phillips. Near Fine. 2001. Softcover. 0856687413 . Faint crease to front wrap else fine. ; Classical Texts; 240 pages; The Children of Heracles is a powerful and challenging tragedy of exile and supplication. Driven from their homeland by Eurystheus King of Argos the children of Heracles flee as fugitives throughout Greece until they are granted protection in Athens. However their acceptance as political refugees threatens to cause civil revolt among the Athenians and hostile invasion from the Argives. The self-sacrifice of Heracles' daughter ensures a victory for Athens and the Heraclidae but Heracles' mother Alcmene refuses to spare the life of Eurystheus altlhough he is a prisoner of war protected by Athenian law. The play shows the amorality of the powerful and the vulnerability of refugees in the most disturbing terms making for a drama of continuing moral and political relevance to the modern world. .

DJ has some creasing to front panel and sticker residue to rear panel. ; 1.18 x 8.75 x 5.75 Inches; 428 pages; This is a new translation of the Thebaid of Publius Papinius Statius an epic poem in twelve books completed in about AD 90. The Thebaid has been thought by many to stand second only to Virgil among Latin narrative poems. Its theme is the war between Eteocles and Polynices sons of Oedipus for the throne of Thebes. Rich in incident and always dramatic in tone it unfolds a panorama of human ambition and violence triumph and catastrophe. Though remaining within the Homeric and Virgilian tradition it achieves its own power and vitality in thought language and description. Held in high esteem and widely imitated in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance the Thebaid of Statius is not only a masterpiece of poetry but a compelling story at times horrifying noble and pathetic of humankind bound by the power of Fate. .

Finley in his classic work. The states of the ancient Mediterranean world had no recognizable real-property market never fought a commercially inspired war witnessed no drive to capital formation and assigned the management of many substantial enterprises to slaves and ex-slaves. In short to study the economies of the ancient world one must begin by discarding many premises that seemed self-evident before Finley showed that they were useless or misleading. These sagacious fertile and occasionally combative essays are just as electrifying today as when Finley first wrote them. . University of California Press paperback

Light creasing to corners of wraps. Minor shelfwear. ; Institute of Classical Studies Bulletin Supplement 97; 193 pages; The new millennium sees both Pliny the Elder and his massive encyclopaedic Natural History being studied more seriously and holistically than at any time in the preceding century. The essays in this volume which honour the seminal work of Barbara Levick on the politics and society of imperial Rome above all in the period of Pliny�s life and literary activity further this re-assessment. They consider aspects of Pliny�s life and output which have not so far received serious attention. These include his value as a source for the kings of Rome and their achievements; his attitude to astronomy and natural wonders to gentilician commemoration philosophical sects Roman dress and coinage; and his moral judgements on the fall of the Republic. The essays consider the ideological climate of the Flavian period as reflected not only in Pliny�s attitude to the past but in his construction of Rome and Italy and his relationship to contemporary writers like Licinius Mucianus. Pliny emerges clearly as a major literary and cultural figure of the early Empire. ; Signed by Contributor . Institute of Classical Studies paperback

COLLECTED ANCIENT GREEK NOVELS
University of California Press. Very Good. 1989. Softcover. 0520043065 . Bumping to top corner of book with light creasing. Crease to spine. Minor shelfwear. ; 835 pages; Prose fiction although not always associated with classical antiquity did in fact flourish in the early Roman Empire not only in realistic Latin novels but also and indeed principally in the Greek ideal romance of love and adventure to which they are related. Popular in the Renaissance these stories have been less familiar in later centuries. Translations of the Greek stories were not readily available in English before B. P. Reardon�s excellent volume. Nine complete stories are included here as well as ten others encompassing the whole range of classical themes: ideal romance travel adventure historical fiction and comic parody. A new foreword by J. R. Morgan examines the enormous impact this groundbreaking collection has had on our understanding of classical thought and our concept of the novel. .

Two tears to back panel and light chipping to heel of DJ spine. ; 465 pages; The two silver skyphoi commonly known as the Boscoreale Cups of Augustus and Tiberius are indispensable for providing the documentation of one of the only two cycles of Roman imperial state reliefs to survive from the Julio-Claudian period. Ann Kuttner offers the first comprehensive examination of these historical treasures. Kuttner studies the Cups not only from the standpoint of art history but also as they relate to Augustan ideology and politics. When she began work on this book the whereabouts of the Cups were unknown and she had to rely on the illustrations in Monuments et Memoires Fondation Eugen Pinot 1901. The rediscovery of the Cups at the Louvre in late 1990 has allowed Kuttner to examine them directly. ; Signed by Author . University of California Press hardcover

THE PLAY OF TEXTS AND FRAGMENTS Essays in Honour of Martin Cropp
Brill. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 9004174737 . Minor shelfwear. Light bumps to one corner and along 1 edge. Else fine. ; Mnemosyne Supplements 314; 580 pages; This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides� fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and exciting development in Euripidean studies since it is only very recently that the fragmentary plays have begun to appear in reliable and readily accessible editions. The book�s thirty-two contributors constitute an international 'who�s who' of Euripidean studies and Athenian drama and their contributions will certainly feature in the forefront of scholarly discourse on Euripides and Greek drama for years to come. .
