Minor discoloration on back board along middle of spine. ; 1 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 400 pages; Inadequately documented ancient Greek religion can all too easily be reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains and so-called `ritual objects'. This authoritative new work attempts to bridge the gap that usually divides Greek religion from Greek history setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary events and politics. How did people actually worship the gods Was Socrates's trial a crisis for religion or the state or both These are among the key issues addressed in what promises to be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come. .

In legend he lives as the great conqueror of Rome's immense empire a remarkable diplomat and writer an unrivaled heartbreaker and a man of relentless determination who met a seemingly tragic end. Caesar examines the riveting story of a complex man within the context of the crisis of the Roman republic. Meier vividly reconstructs the distinctive features of this age by emphasizing the prevalent educational practices that imposed limitations on individual development. Meier clearly shows that Caesar early on established himself as a man whose unique drive self-confidence and detachment would bring him into continual conflict with established institutions. What were the political and social forces that shaped and challenged this extraordinary individual And how did this larger-than-life leader truly affect the fate of the Roman republic and the course of history Internationally renowned historian Christian Meier explores these questions in the most authoritative and accessible account ot Julius Caesar's life career and legacy. .

Dustjacket has small abrasion along the spine which has rubbed the colour off else NF; This book explores for the first time an idea common to both Plato and Aristotle: although people are separate their lives need not be; one person's life may overflow into another's so that helping someone else is a way of serving oneself. Price considers how this idea unites the philosophers' treatments of love and friendship which are otherwise very different and demonstrates that this view of love and friendship applied not only to personal relationships but also to the household and even the city-state promises to resolve the old dichotomy between egoism and altruism. ; 278 pages .

‎AESCHINES AND ATHENIAN POLITICS‎

‎Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0195082850 . 0.88 x 9.4 x 6.34 Inches; 248 pages; Filling a major gap in scholarship this is the first full-length study of the Athenian politician Aeschines. Along with Isocrates Aeschines was one of the most prominent Athenian politicians who advocated friendly ties with the Macedonian king Philip II. Though overshadowed by his famous rival Demosthenes Aeschines played a key role in the decisive events that marked the rise of Macedonian power in Greece and formed the transition from the Classical to the Hellenistic period. Three long speeches by Aeschines all delivered in court battles with his opponent Demosthenes have been preserved and provide us with valuable information about Athenian politics during a major turning point in Greek history. This study of Aeschines' political career examines the reliability of court speeches as historical evidence and shows how they help reveal how democratic institutions actually functioned in Athens when faced with the rise of Macedonian power. .

Ex-library copy with usual stamps and pocket though I believe this was never in circulation. ; The Library of Medieval Women; 0.94 x 8.43 x 5.59 Inches; 199 pages; Christine de Pizan also seen as de Pisan 1364�1430 was a writer and analyst of the medieval era who strongly challenged the clerical misogyny and stereotypes that were prevalent in the male-dominated realm of the arts. De Pizan completed forty-one pieces during her thirty-year career 1399�1429. She earned her accolade as Europe�s first professional woman writer Redfern 74. Her success stems from a wide range of innovative writing and rhetorical techniques that critically challenged renowned male writers such as Jean de Meun who to Pizan�s dismay incorporated misogynist beliefs within their literary works. In recent decades de Pizan's work has been returned to prominence by the efforts of scholars such as Charity Cannon Willard and Earl Jeffrey Richards. Certain scholars have argued that she should be seen as an early feminist who efficiently used language to convey that women could play an important role within society although this characterisation has been challenged by other critics who claim either that it is an anachronistic use of the word or that her beliefs were not progressive enough to merit such a designation Richards 1-2. .

‎Princeton University Press. Very Good in Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0691048894 . Remainder mark to bottom of textblock else Fine. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 243 pages; Cities throughout the Roman Empire flourished during the reign of Hadrian A. D. 117-138 a phenomenon that not only strengthened and legitimized Roman dominion over its possessions but also revealed Hadrian as a masterful negotiator of power relationships. In this comprehensive investigation into the vibrant urban life that existed under Hadrian's rule Mary T. Boatwright focuses on the emperor's direct interactions with Rome's cities exploring the many benefactions for which he was celebrated on coins and in literary works and inscriptions. Although such evidence is often as imprecise as it is laudatory its collective analysis undertaken for the first time together with all other related material reveals that over 130 cities received at least one benefaction directly from Hadrian. The benefactions mediated by members of the empire's municipal elite touched all aspects of urban life they included imperial patronage of temples and hero tombs engineering projects promotion of athletic and cultural competitions settlement of boundary disputes and remission of taxes. .

‎POWER PAIDEIA & PYTHAGOREANISM Greek Identity Conceptions of the Relationship between Philosophers and Monarchs and Political Ideas in Philostratus� Life of Apollonius‎

‎J. C. Gieben. Fine with no dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 905063236X . Dutch Monographs on Ancient History and Archaeology; 10.25 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 286 pages; The Athenian sophist Philostratus completed a romanticised biography of Apollonius of Tyana in the second or third decade of the third century A. D. One of the most striking aspects of the presentation of this firstcentury Pythagorean sage and miracleworker in the Vita Apollonii VA is his role as �politically active philosopher�. Not only does the protagonist of the VA regularly intervene in situa-tions of conflict in Greek cities and instruct their citi-zens on how they ought to live together but he also appears in contact with Parthian and Indian kings and Roman emperors. The present study deals with this promi-nent facet of Philostratus� portrait of the Tyanean sage. There are three main issues. The first is the question of the extent to which the Apollonius tradition provided support for the image of the contacts of the protagonist of the VA with cities and monarchs. The second is consideration of how the author dealt with and elaborated these elements in his source material. The third is the question of to what extent the protagonist of the VA may be regarded as a spokesman for the explicit political views of Philostratus. In other words the aim is to analyse the image of the protagonist of the VA as a �politically active philosopher� as the result of the interaction between the traditions associated with a sage and miracleworker who was regarded as a representative of Pythagorean wisdom on the one hand and the paideia cultural baggage and mentality of a sophist on the other. .

Unwrapped in Plastic. ; Amsterdam Studies in Classical Philology; 154 pages; Although it is widely recognised that Solon�s thoughts on human life 1.30-32 are important to a correct understanding of Herodotus� work little attention has been given to their narratological meaning. On the basis of a careful interpretation of five episodes this monograph argues that Solon�s advice �look to the end� establishes the viewpoint from which Herodotus� stories are to be understood. This viewpoint leads to surprising conclusions as to what is and is not important to the development of history. It casts doubts especially on the magnificent role of Athens and its democracy. . J.
