HELLENISTIC HISTORY AND CULTURE
University of California Press. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0520203259 . Top of spine is lightly bumped. Back corner of wraps is creased. ; 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. .

THE LIFE OF THEMISTOCLES A Critical Survey of the Literary and Archaeological Evidence
Mcgill-Queen's University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1975. Hardcover. 0773501851 . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. One closed tear along front corner of dustjacket. Rubbing to DJ. Minor rubbing to boards. ; 250 pages; Themistocles ca. 525 BC-460 BC was a leader in the Athenian democracy during the Persian War. Themistocles favored the expansion of the navy to meet the Persian threat and persuaded the Athenians to spend the surplus generated by their silver mines on building new ships - the Athenian navy grew from 70 to 200 ships. Despite the importance of this enigmatic figure in Greek history our knowledge still largely comes from the ancient accounts of Herodotus Thucydides and Plutarch. Podlecki provides the first modern comprehensive assessment of Themistocles based on literary and archaeological evidence. . Mcgill-Queen's University Press hardcover

ROME AND THE ENEMY Imperial Strategy in the Principate
University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0520211669 . Former owner's name on ffep. Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear. ; 1 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 277 pages; How did the Romans build and maintain one of the most powerful and stable empires in the history of the world This illuminating book draws on the literature especially the historiography composed by the members of the elite who conducted Roman foreign affairs. From this evidence Susan P. Mattern reevaluates the roots motivations and goals of Roman imperial foreign policy especially as that policy related to warfare. In a major reinterpretation of the sources Rome and the Enemy shows that concepts of national honor fierce competition for status and revenge drove Roman foreign policy and though different from the highly rationalizing strategies often attributed to the Romans dictated patterns of response that remained consistent over centuries. Mattern reconstructs the world view of the Roman decision-makers the emperors and the elite from which they drew their advisers. She discusses Roman conceptions of geography strategy economics and the influence of traditional Roman values on the conduct of military campaigns. She shows that these leaders were more strongly influenced by a traditional stereotyped perception of the enemy and a drive to avenge insults to their national honor than by concepts of defensible borders. In fact the desire to enforce an image of Roman power was a major policy goal behind many of their most brutal and aggressive campaigns. Rome and the Enemy provides a fascinating look into the Roman mind in addition to a compelling re-examination of Roman conceptions of warfare and national honor. The resulting picture creates a new understanding of Rome's long mastery of the Mediterranean world. . University of California Press hardcover

Burnett Anne Pippin
REVENGE IN ATTIC AND LATER TRAGEDY
University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0520210964 . Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; Sather Classical Lectures; 1.12 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 384 pages; Modern readings of ancient Athenian drama tend to view it as a presentation of social or moral problems as if ancient drama showed the same realism seen on the present-day stage. Such views are belied by the plays themselves in which supremely violent actions occur in a legendary time and place distinct both from reality and from the ethics of ordinary life. Offering fresh readings of Attic tragedy Anne Pippin Burnett urges readers to peel away twentieth-century attitudes toward vengeance and reconsider the revenge tragedies of ancient Athens in their own context. After a consideration of how our view of Elizabethan drama has obscured an accurate view of the ancient tragedies Burnett reviews early Greek notions of vengeance as expressed in the Odyssey Heracles' tales Pindar's odes Attic judicial processes and the legend of Harmodius and Aristogeiton. Then setting aside post-Platonic and Judeo-Christian notions of criminality she provides new interpretations of all the Attic tragedies in which revenge is a central theme: Aeschylus' Libation Bearers Sophocles' Ajax Electra and Tereus and Euripides' Children of Heracles Hecuba Medea Electra and Orestes. Burnett shows that for the ancients revenge meant a redress of imbalances in both human and divine worlds achieved through human actions. The vengeful heroines thus appear in a new light. Electra Hecuba Medea and others cease to be the picture of depravity in dramas that are grotesque and sensational and are instead representative human figures who respond with grandeur to the outsize demands of necessity and supernatural powers. .

Very minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 0.87 x 9.57 x 6.41 Inches; 224 pages; This is an intelligent and unusually thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan focuses on logos or the power of argument and its effects and on the self-awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed toward an audience made resistant by devotion to the body. Within and without the play logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature and desire. The argument conveys much insight into fifth-century thought and the play's workings the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy and reminds the reader that this is a comic logos--explored in the comic mode and connected with the intentions and vicissitudes of the first and second Clouds. .

Minor edgewear to DJ. ; During the thousand years which separate Homer from Plotinus the Greeks and Romans not only created two great literatures and most of our literary genres; they also developed theories of literature and methods of criticism. These though very different from our own have nevertheless greatly influenced modern thinking especially during the early centuries of our modern literatures. Poets like Pindar Aristophanes and Horace philosophers like Plato aristotle and Philodemus orators like Cicero and Quintilian literary scholars like Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Longinus all these have left us records of their various points of view. In this book Professor Grube who is a recognized authority in this field gives us a clear full and reliable analysis of the ancient critical texts and traces the birth and developments of critical thinking thoughout the classical centuries. ; 372 pages .

Minor bump at top of spine. ; Studies on Themes and Motifs in Literature; 0.75 x 9 x 6 Inches; 228 pages; Both the alliterative Gest Hystoriale of the Destruction of Troy c. 1400 and the Laud Troy Book c. 1400 a metrical romance deal with the lives and feats of chivalric heroes and place special emphasis on the psychological effects of love. This book is a study of the motifs in John Clerk's and the Laud-poet's narratives and of their characterization of the Trojan War's principal actors. Both writers used the same source but their preferences for motifs and their attitudes toward the persons involved were often quite different. Thirteen illustrations mainly from medieval Guido manuscripts serve as a stimulus to those who want to know more about the medieval understanding of the Trojan War. . Peter Lang Pub Inc hardcover
