IDEAS OF SLAVERY FROM ARISTOTLE TO AUGUSTINE
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0521574331 . Gift inscription on ffep: "To Alan from Peter Jan 1997". Crease to upper corner else book is fine. ; The W.B. Stanford Memorial Lectures; 288 pages; This study unique of its kind asks how slavery was viewed by the leading spokesmen of Greece and Rome. 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

Henderson John
A PLAUTUS READER Selections from Eleven Plays
Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers. Fine. 2009. Softcover. 0865166943 . Latin Reader; 182 pages; The comic playscripts by Plautus-the earliest Latin texts we have-made it through the ancient world to reach ours because the moves and verbal jousting found in them have always made people laugh. Plautine comedies span a wide range of idioms extending from saucy adventures in the sex trade with Father as the fall-guy who foots all bills to the trouncing of bigmouth trooper by Ms. Hot Stuff; from the fairytale wishes come true of faraway foundlings fished up on a surprise romantic shore to the caricature gospel that re-stages the myth of the birth of the hero in true panto style gods and all. Although there is no such creature as a typical Plautus play this cannily chosen set of excerpts-ranging from the best- to least-known plays-gives a good sense of how a whole script runs from opening hush through brisk cameos and spectacular showstoppers to final bow. John Hendersons energy wit and contagious affection for Plautussnappy Latin which he calls 'Plautin' take the reader along on a whirlwind laugh-out-loud tour. His combination of commentary interpretive remarks and attention to staging and metatheatrics make this edition a perfect introduction to Plautus and an incentive for further reading. Special Features Introduction that is as lively as it is informative 616 lines of unadapted Latin text from eleven Plautus plays: Asinaria 746-809 Amphitruo 361-462 Captiui 1029-36 Casina 780-854 and 1012-18 Cistellaria 203-29 Curculio 462-86 Menaechmi 77-109 and 351-69 Poenulus 1-45 and 541-66 Pseudolus 1-2 and 394-414 Rudens 938-1044 and Truculentus 482-548 Notes at the back Map and five photos Bibliography and further reading for each play Appendix on meter Guide to pronunciation of proper names<br> Online Latin text marked for reading aloud Complete vocabulary .

It sheds much new light on ancient grammarians and other ancient writers many of them 'lost' in the sense that they survive only in quotations in later sources. At the heart of the volume is a study of the sources which lie behind an enigmatic but important treatise which survives only in epitome: the Ethnika of the grammarian Stephanus of Byzantium. This suppliment to the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names is the final work of its founding editor. . Oxford University Press hardcover

CHARITON OF APHRODISIAS AND THE INVENTION OF THE GREEK LOVE NOVEL
Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0199576947 . 360 pages; The best known variety of the ancient novel - sometimes identified with the ancient novel tout court- is the Greek love novel. The question of its origins has intrigued scholars for centuries and has been the focus of a great deal of research. Stefan Tilg proposes a new solution to this ancient puzzle by arguing for a personal inventor of the genre Chariton of Aphrodisias who wrote the first Greek and with that the first European love novel Narratives about Callirhoe in the mid-first century AD. Tilg's conclusion is drawn on the basis of two converging lines of argument one from literary history another from Chariton's poetics and will shed fresh light upon the reception of Latin literature in the Greek world. .

Vickers Michael J.
PERICLES ON STAGE Political Comedy in Aristophanes' Early Plays
University of Texas Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0292787278 . New. Unwrapped in plastic; 255 pages; Since the eighteenth century classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "political" plays. Yet according to an anonymous Life of Aristophanes when Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse wanted to know about the government of Athens Plato sent him a copy of Aristophanes' Clouds. In this boldly revisionist work Michael Vickers convincingly argues that in his earlier plays Aristophanes in fact commented on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians. Vickers reads the first six of Aristophanes' eleven extant plays in a way that reveals the principal characters to be based in large part on Pericles and his ward Alcibiades. According to Vickers the plays of Aristophanes--far from being nonpolitical--actually allow us to gauge the reaction of the Athenian public to the events that followed Pericles' death in 429 B.C. to the struggle for the political succession and to the problems presented by Alcibiades' emergence as one of the most powerful figures in the state. This view of Aristophanes reaffirms the central role of allegory in his work and challenges all students of ancient Greece to rethink long-held assumptions about this important playwright. .

THE GORGON'S SEVERED HEAD Studies of Alcestis Electra and Phoenissae

Very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 255 pages; The Gorgon's Severed Head looks at three plays of Euripides one early one middle and one late in his career. Innovations in genre in the use of the traditional stories in the representation of women and of gender issues are present at every period. In all three plays characters are depicted creating themselves and each other. Chapter One on Alcestis looks at the artistry of the two main characters and is especially concerned with finding a role for Admetus the play's most serious problem. The second chapter treats the physical displacement of the myth in Euripides' version of the Electra-Orestes story. A last section approaches the layers of time and space in Phoenissae. . E. J.

Brain Peter
GALEN ON BLOODLETTING A Study of the Origins Development and Validity of his Opinions with a Translation of the Three Works
Cambridge University Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. 0521320852 . 202 pages; For more than two thousand years almost all doctors in the West used bloodletting to treat a great variety of diseases and conditions. In an attempt to find out why they acted thus Dr Brain has translated the three works on bloodletting by the second-century physician Galen which provide by far the most comprehensive account of the practice in antiquity. This is the first published version of these works in a modern language. After a brief summary of Galen's medical system the author goes on to consider the origins of Galen's ideas and methods with particular reference to the Hippocratic writings and the question why Galen in common with most of the ancient physicians believed in the efficacy of the comedy. The effects of bloodletting are considered in terms of modem physiology and medicine and the possibility is explored that it may indeed have been beneficial in the conditions prevailing in Galen's time. .
