THE EPYLLION FROM THEOCRITUS TO OVID
Garland Publishing. Fine. 1978. Softcover. 0824029666 . Reprint of 1931 edition. ; The Garland Library of Latin Poetry; 12mo 7" - 7�" tall; 284 pages; "Epyllion" is the term coined by modern scholars for a relatively short poem on a mythological theme otherwise appropriate to longer epic. One of its recurrent characteristics is "ekphrasis" the telling of one myth encapsulated within the context of another and the two thematically or symbolically linked to offer subtle comparison and contrast. The most persistent modes of "ekphrasis" are narrative by a character form or the description of myth depicted on a work of art used in the context of the "outer" myth. The phenomenon has its origins in Homeric epic the shield of Achilles but was refined in the Hellenistic period by Callimachus and Theocritus and taken up by the neoterics Catullus 64. Its methods were absorbed back into long epic and form a dominant characteristic of Ovid's interweaving of myths in the "Metamorphoses". This book was originally published in 1931 and presents a chronological account of "epyllion" in English. . Garland Publishing paperback

Hardcover. 9004174737 . 3 tiny scratches along top edge-- very light shelfwear 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.

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. .

THE HUMANITY OF THUCYDIDES
Princeton University Press. Near Fine. 1994. Softcover. 0691017263 . Spine has light discoloration else Fine. ; 1 x 9.75 x 6.5 Inches; 235 pages; Thucydides has long been celebrated for the unflinching realism of his presentation of political life. And yet as some scholars have asserted his work also displays a profound humanity. In the first thorough exploration of the relation between these two traits Clifford Orwin argues that Thucydides' humanity is not a reflection of the author's temperament but an aspect of his thought above all of his articulation of the central problem of political life the tension between right and compulsion. This book provides the most complete treatment to date of Thucydides' handling of the problem of injustice as well as the most extensive interpretations yet of the speeches in which it comes to light. Thucydides does not merely display the weakness of justice in the world but joins his characters in exploring the implications of this weakness for our understanding of what justice is. Orwin pursues this question through Thucydides' work and relates it to the historian's other leading concerns such as the contrast between the Athenian way and the Spartan way the role of piety in political life the interaction of foreign and domestic politics and the role of statesmanship in a world dominated by frenzies of hope fear and indignation. Above all Orwin demonstrates the richness complexity and daring of Thucydides' articulation of these issues. . Princeton University Press paperback

Inscribed to Fergus Millar from the editors. ; 261 pages; The empire created by Alexander the Great's general Seleucus constituted the largest Hellenistic kingdom of the successor states: yet this is the first substantial treatment of Seleucid history to appear for fifty years. The authors approach this important and successful state from new perspectives seeing it as part of the Middle Eastern world rather than solely in Greco-Roman terms and arguing that the Seleucid state is best understood as heir to the great Achaemenid Persian empire and earlier Middle Eastern states. They investigate the economies social structures political systems and cultures of the many peoples making up the empire and analyze in the context of colonialism and imperialism such evidence as exists for cultural changes including Hellenization. The book makes accessible the great variety of new and important documents that have been recently discovered. It will be welcomed by students teachers and all readers with an interest in Hellenistic and Middle Eastern history. ; Signed by Editors . Gerald Duckworth & Company hardcover

There was no movement for abolition in these societies or a vigorous debate such as occurred in antebellum America but this does not imply that slavery was accepted without question. This book draws on a wide range of sources pagan Jewish and Christian over ten centuries to challenge the common assumption of passive acquiescence in slavery and the associated view that Aristotle apart there was no systematic thought on slavery. The work contains both a typology of attitudes to slavery ranging from critiques to justifications and paired case studies of leading theorists of slavery Aristotle and the Stoics Philo and Paul Ambrose and Augustine.; Signed by Author .

Sahlins Marshall
APOLOGIES TO THUCYDIDES Understanding History as Culture and Vice Versa
University Of Chicago Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2004. Hardcover. 0226734005 . Very light edgewear to top of DJ spine. Book is fine. ; 320 pages; Thucydides' classic work on the history of the Peloponnesian War is the root of Western conceptions of history�including the idea that Western history is the foundation of everyone else's. Here Marshall Sahlins takes on Thucydides and the conceptions of history he wrought with a groundbreaking new book that shows what a difference an anthropological concept of culture can make to the writing of history. Sahlins begins by confronting Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War with an analogous "Polynesian War" the fight for the domination of the Fiji Islands 1843-55 between a great sea power like Athens and a great land power like Sparta. Sahlins draws parallels between the conflicts with an eye to their respective systems of power and sovereignty as well as to Thucydides' alternation between individual Pericles Themistocles and collective the Athenians the Spartans actors in the making of history. Characteristic of most histories ever written this alternation between the agency of "Great Men" and collective entities leads Sahlins to a series of incisive analyses ranging in subject matter from Bobby Thomson's "shot heard round the world" for the 1951 Giants to the history-making of Napoleon and certain divine kings to the brouhaha over Eli�n Gonzalez. Finally again departing from Thucydides Sahlins considers the relationship between cultural order and historical contingency through the recounting of a certain royal assassination that changed the course of Fijian history a story of fratricide and war worthy of Shakespeare. In this most convincing presentation yet of his influential theory of culture Sahlins experiments with techniques for mixing rich narrative with cultural explication in the hope of doing justice at once to the actions of persons and the customs of people. And he demonstrates the necessity of taking culture into account in the creation of history�with apologies to Thucydides who too often did not. . University Of Chicago Press hardcover

Munn Mark H.
THE DEFENSE OF ATTICA The Dema Wall and the Boiotian War of 378-375 B. C.
University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0520076850 . Very minor shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 259 pages; The enigmatic three-mile-long Dema wall in the countryside outside ancient Athens has perplexed archaeologists and historians for decades. When was it built and what role did it play in Greek military history In a tour de force of archaeological and historical argument Mark H. Munn establishes the place of the Dema wall in the defense of Athens and offers a completely new perspective on the Boiotian War. Since no ancient reference to the wall survives scholars have contested the date and purpose of the wall's construction placing it anywhere between the Geometric Age and Hellenistic eras. While directing the excavation of a watchtower above the wall Munn's chance discovery of a datable sherd in the wall's remains fixed the date of the wall's construction at 378 B. C. the onset of the three-year Boiotian War. Munn offers an absorbing narrative account of the war and his descriptions and effective use of literary extracts render a vivid portrayal of the opposing generals military tactics and battle scenes. .
