THE ORPHIC POEMS

Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; A large number of Greek religious poems in hexameter were attributed to Orpheus as they were to similar miracle-man figures like Bakis Musaeus Abaris Aristeas Epimenides and the Sybil. Of this vast literature only two examples survive whole: a set of hymns composed at some point in the 2nd or 3rd century AD and an Orphic Argonautica composed somewhere between the 4th and 6th centuries AD. Earlier Orphic literature which may date back as far as the 6th century BC survives only in papyrus scraps or in quotations by later authors. ; 296 pages; Sandpiper reprint of 1983 Edition. .

Wiles David
THE MASKS OF MENANDER Sign and Meaning in Greek and Roman Performance
Cambridge University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0521401356 . Publisher's remainder mark to bottom of textblock small black dot. Small tear to cloth at base of spine ~1 cm. ; 1.06 x 9.33 x 6.26 Inches; 287 pages; This book provides a detailed analysis of the conventions and techniques of performance characteristic of the Greek theatre of Menander and the subsequent Roman theatre of Plautus and Terence. Drawing on literary and archaeological sources and on scientific treatises David Wiles identifies the mask as crucial to the actor's art and shows how sophisticated the art of the mask-maker became. He also examines the other main elements which the audience learned to decode: costume voice movement etc. In order to identify features that were unique to Hellenistic theatre he contrasts Greek New Comedy with other traditions of masked comedy and shows how different Roman conventions of performance rest upon different underlying assumptions about religion marriage and class. David Wiles offers theatre historians and classicists a radical new approach to reading play texts. His book will also be useful to archaeologists seeking to understand what masks mean and how Greek and Roman theatres were used. . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Former owner's signature on prelim.

Probing the documents and artifacts of the ancient world with a scientist's mind and a detective's eye Guido Majno pieces together the difficulties people faced in the effort to survive their injuries as well as the odd chilling or inspiring ways in which they rose to the challenge. In asking whether the early healers might have benefited their patients or only hastened their trip to the grave Dr. Majno uncovered surprising answers by testing ancient prescriptions in a modern laboratory. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs many in full color and climaxing ten years of work The Healing Hand is a spectacular recreation of man's attempts to conquer pain and disease. ; Commonwealth Fund Publications; 571 pages .

Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0198142277 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor bump to top corner. ; Sandpiper reprint of 1927 edition. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 346 pages; One of the major scholars of the 1920s and 30s concerned with the origins of Greek drama Sir Arthur Pickard-Cambridge focused in particular on the evidence derived from archaeological finds and papyri. He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes. .

CHANGES IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Essays in the Ordinary
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0691036012 . Dustjacket and book have minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 416 pages; Written by one of the foremost historians of the Roman Empire this collection of both new and previously published essays forms a colorful picture of daily life in the Mediterranean world between A.D. 50 and 450. Here for example the author applies statistical analysis to broad groups of people on matters ranging from justice through medicine to language. In so doing he is able to substantiate general statements about routines in ordinary people's behavior and to detect within these routines the very changes that constitute history. Such analysis also shows how this era benefits from the same historiographical approaches that have so successfully elucidated sociocultural phenomena in other periods. Drawing from statistical analysis and many other historical approaches these essays on popular mores in the Roman Empire cover such topics as language and art acculturation thought and religion sex and gender cruelty and slavery and aspects of class and power relations. The author introduces the collection with several essays on historical method as it pertains to the richness of documentation and variety to be found in the region and period chosen. .

Shelfwear to DJ--minor creasing along top edge. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 190 pages; This book analyses about 2000 legal rulings rescripts given by Roman Emperors and argues that though issued in the name of emperors they were really both in style and substance the work of at least 20 professional lawyers who headed the imperial office a libellis half-a-dozen of them men like Papinian. From their style we can detect when one lawyer-draftsman gave way to another we can identify some of the lawyers and we can allot most of the rescripts to their real author. On this basis the author argues that in the third century there was a convention that the rights of citizens would be governed by objective legal standards. The study adduces evidence for the authenticity of the texts of rescripts in Justinian's Codex and indirectly of the Digest also. . Duckworth & Company hardcover

His chief works were: an epic Thebais an account of the expedition of the Seven against Thebes and the war of the Epigoni; and an elegiac poem Lyde so called from the poet's mistress for whose death he endeavoured to find consolation telling stories from mythology of heroic disasters Plutarch Consul ad Apoll. 9; Athenaeus xiii. 597. Antimachus was the founder of "learned" epic poetry and the forerunner of the Alexandrian school whose critics allotted him the next place to Homer. He also prepared a critical recension of the Homeric poems . Bouma's Boekhuis hardcover

May James M.
TRIALS OF CHARACTER The Eloquence of Ciceronian Ethos
The University of North Carolina Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0807817597 . Scratch to front panel of DJ. Minor rubbing to DJ else NF. ; 0.88 x 9.48 x 6.38 Inches; 224 pages; By its very nature the art of oratory involves character. Verbal persuasion entails the presentation of a persona by the speaker that affects an audience for good or ill. In this book James May explores the role and extent of Cicero's use of ethos and demonstrates its persuasive effect. May discusses the importance of ethos not just in classical rhetorical theory but also in the social political and judicial milieu of ancient Rome and then applies his insights to the oratory of Cicero. Ciceronian ethos was a complex blend of Roman tradition Cicero's own personality and selected features of Greek and Roman oratory. More than any other ancient literary genre oratory dealt with constantly changing circumstances with a wide variety of rhetorical challenges. An orator's success or failure as well as the artistic quality of his orations was largely the direct result of his responses to these circumstances and challenges. Acutely aware of his audience and its cultural heritage and steeped in the rhetorical traditions of his predecessors Cicero employed rhetorical ethos with uncanny success. May analyzes individual speeches from four different periods of Cicero's career tracing changes in the way Cicero depicted character both his own and others' as a source of persuasion changes intimately connected with the vicissitudes of Cicero's career and personal life. He shows that ethos played a major role in almost every Ciceronian speech that Cicero's audiences were conditioned by common beliefs about character and finally that Cicero's rhetorical ethos became a major source for persuasion in his oratory. .

This is a work of prodigious scholarship written in grand style. John Fine surveys the archaeological work that has revealed so much about the civilization of Crete and Mycenaean Greece and discusses the age of colonization during which Greek colonies were established from the Crimea to the Nile from the Caucasus to Spain. Analyzing social and economic developments as well as foreign and inter-city affairs he assesses the history culture and democracy of Athens and Sparta's institutions and military exploits; recounts the Greeks' relations and then war with the Persian empire; details alliances struggles and the varying fortunes of the Greek city-states; and relates the rise of Macedon. Fine treats the Greeks' story in the context of events elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean. Throughout he indicates the nature of the evidence on which our present knowledge is based masterfully explaining the problems and pit-falls in interpreting ancient accounts. The Ancient Greeks is a splendid narrative history and a refreshing reinterpretation that will please students of ancient history and everyone interested in early civilizations. .
