Scholten Joseph B.
THE POLITICS OF PLUNDER Aitolians and Their Koinon in the Early Hellenistic Era 279-217 B. C.
University of California Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0520201876 . Light shelfwear to DJ. Small remainder mark to bottom of textblock. ; Between 279 and 229 B. C. the Aitolian koinon a federation of mountain cantons in west central Greece expanded to incorporate many of the neighboring lands and peoples lying between the Adriatic and Aegean Seas. This new political configuration contributed to the development of modern systems of federal democracy based on proportional representation. Despite these institutional advances the Aitolians and their polity are reviled in the ancient historical tradition which views them as backward semi-barbarous brigands. The Politics of Plunder is the first English-language book in over a century to examine the political history of the Aitolian koinon in its era of expansion. Joseph Scholten presents a chronological reconstruction of the koinon's course of expansion synthesizing a number of recent studies covering Aitolian topography epigraphy and institutional development that help to compensate for deficiencies in the ancient narrative record. His study is the first to ask how a people and a polity so detested by their contemporaries succeeded in making such fundamental contributions to their regional political culture. Scholten's careful investigation charts a middle course that neither whitewashes the Aitolians nor credulously accepts the biased ancient tradition. This balanced approach provides a much-needed fresh perspective on the Aitolians and their koinon. Discussing the history of the ancient Aegean Greek world and the political economic and social history of the Hellenistic Era this book will interest anyone concerned with those subjects or fascinated by the development of ancient Greek political institutions and theories particularly federalism. ; Hellenistic Culture and Society; 2.72 x 9.31 x 7.94 Inches; 339 pages .

THE EMPEROR JULIAN

The first 20 pages are creased but with no loss to text else VG. Adhesives stain to front free-page. ; 256 pages; Julian is called by Christians "The Apostate" because they believe he converted from Christianity to Paganism. He himself as attested to in private letters between him and the Rhetorician Libanius had Christianity forced on him as a child by his cousin Constantius II who was a zealot Christian and would have not tolerated a pagan relative but Julian had never really accepted any religion until his reading of the Homeric poems some of the most important texts for the Greek religion. After this conversion to Hellenism he devoted his life to protecting and restoring the fame and security of this more ancient tradition as well as other religious traditions such as Judaism from Christian persecution. After gaining the purple Julian started a religious reformation of the state which in his intentions was to give back its lost strength to the Roman State. He supported the restoration of the old Roman faith based on polytheism. Julian reduced the influence of Christian bishops in public offices. The lands taken by the Church were to be returned to their original owners and the bishops lost the privilege to travel for free at expenses of the State. . Weidenfeld and Nicolson hardcover

THE FOUNDATION OF ROME Myth and History
Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 080143114X . Top corners lightly bumped. Light general soiling. ; 9.5 x 0.75 x 6.5 Inches; 236 pages; "The Foundation of Rome is one of the few intelligent books on the subject neither hypercritical nor visionary; its particular strength lies in the skillful interweaving of modern historiography and ideology with ancient history. "--Jerzy Linderski University of North Carolina. At once a historical essay and a self-conscious meditation on the writing of history The Foundation of Rome takes as its starting point a series of accounts of Rome's origins offered over the course of centuries. Alexandre Grandazzi places these accounts in their contemporary contexts and shows how the growing sophistication in methodology gradually changed the accepted views of the city's origins. He looks for example at the hypercritical philology of the nineteenth century which cast aside everything that could not be verified. He then explains how the increase in archaeological discoveries and changing archaeological techniques influenced the story of Rome's birth. Grandazzi produces a depiction of Rome's origins that is both up-to-date and provocative. His use of scientific parallels in describing changes in the ways texts were analyzed and his broad familiarity with comparative material make his synthesis particularly illuminating and he writes with clarity verve and wit. .

ROBERT ESTIENNE'S INFLUENCE ON LEXICOGRAPHY
University of Texas Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1963. Hardcover. DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has a few small nicks and one small tear. Rubbing to DJ. Minor bumping to book. ; Towering above printers of his time and their successors for many years afterward was the figure of Robert Estienne the great French lexicographer of the sixteenth century whose contribution to knowledge and its dissemination is the subject of this authoritative book. The span of Robert Estienne's life 1503 - 1559 encompassed the historical epochs and events which shaped his career: the Renaissance the Reformation and the invention of printing by movable type. His keen interest in the revival of ancient literatures and languages and his training in the art of printing pointed the road he would travel and the climate of opinion in the Reformation determined his destiny. Robert Estienne promoted classical learning by printing the works of good authors; to spread knowledge of ancient literature he compiled dictionaries and grammars which were adopted by most of the universities of Europe. His dictionary of proper names of Biblical and classical origin the Dictionarium historicum ac poeticum became one of the great source books for later compilers of dictionaries and for authors. Ben Jonson showed familiarity with his texts; Spenser and Milton sometimes set translations of his phraseology directly into their poetry. Perpetuation of the few errors he made is one sure proof that his dictionaries were used and copied. An exemplar of learning in the classics and scripture he searched in ancient manuscripts to avoid repeating the numerous errors that had crept into Bible translations over hundreds of years. ; 136 pages .

Louden Bruce
THE ODYSSEY Structure Narration and Meaning
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 080186058X . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 0.98 x 9.37 x 6.31 Inches; 208 pages; Bruce Louden's bold re-reading of the Odyssey -- the first attempt in years to map in detail the poem's overall structure -- offers new insights into the artistry of Odysseus' mythic voyage and enriches our understanding of Homer's masterful craftsmanship. Louden's groundbreaking work uncovers an extended narrative pattern repeated in full three times which reveals the poem's underlying skeletal structure. This organizational analysis helps to explain the existence of several characters or episodes sometimes dismissed as extraneous as late additions or even as corruptions to Homer's original intent. In addition Louden's discovery strengthens the suggestion that the Odyssey was the product of oral tradition. By repeating this sequence of successive motifs a single improvising bard could explore a variety of complex ideas within a poem as long as the Odyssey. Though centrally concerned with the form of Homer's rich and complex plot Louden's study is not exclusively or even primarily formalistic. His investigation involves the study of characters' names challenges faced by Odysseus the structure of the poem and roles assigned to the poem's female characters. Louden's comprehensive achievement gives the reader a fresh perspective on the role of divine hostility and the artistry of an epic survivor on his timeless journey home. .

EROS IN MOURNING From Homer to Lacan
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0801849233 . Dustjacket has light rubbing. Light shelfwear. ; Eros in Mourning begins with a reading of the Iliad that shows how Homer not yet influenced by the ideology of transcendence analyzes the structure of unassuageable mourning in a way that is as up-to-date as the latest poststructuralism. Then in readings of Dante Hamlet La Princess de Cl�ves Heart of Darkness and Lacan Staten depicts the "thanato-erotic" hysteria that is set off by the specter of the dead and decomposing body that is also the body of sexual love and which in the "transcendentalizing" tradition is more female than male. Yet St. John certain troubadours and Milton offer glimpses of a more affirmative relation to "eros in mourning. " ; 9.5 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 248 pages . The Johns Hopkins University Press hardcover

Clark Matthew
OUT OF LINE Homeric Composition Beyond the Hexameter
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0847686973 . Very light shelfwear ; Building upon the groundbreaking work of Milman Parry and Albert Lord "Out of Line" presents a new theory of Homeric composition focusing upon patterns that extend beyond the boundary of the line and the clause. Matthew Clark takes enjambment as a starting point analyzing the techniques used by the poet to complete a line that begins with a runover. Clark proceeds to propose two levels of analysis a "deep-structure" level which describes the associations of words and ideas before they take metrical form and a "surface-structure" level which describes the words as they are employed on any particular occasion. "Out of Line" combines formulaic and metrical analysis expanding the study of Homeric meter both in practice by taking into account larger compositional structures such as entire scenes and in theory by using the results to test models of formulaic composition. This book is important for students and scholars of Homer epic and oral literature. ; 0.83 x 9.29 x 6.19 Inches; 264 pages . Rowman & Littlefield Publishers hardcover

Rabel Robert J.
PLOT AND POINT OF VIEW IN THE ILIAD
University of Michigan Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472107682 . Light discoloration to spine. Light edgewear to one corner of DJ. ; Plot and Point of View in the Iliad argues that Homer the poet of the Iliad may be fully distinguished from the narrator of Homeric poetry who is the Muse and also from the heroes and heroines who live within the world of the story. The Iliad is a poem with a particularly rich and complex structure of perspectives and as point of view as an element of storytelling has garnered tremendous interest in this century critical attention has taken up this question in relation to Homer's poem. Robert Rabel argues that in different ways both the Muse-narrator and the poet manipulate point of view in order to discover and define the meaning of the Iliad placing various ways of thinking in competing and complementary relationships with one another. In the process the Muse-narrator produces a sophisticated and compelling analysis of the tragic limitations of life in accordance with the heroic ethic. In the end the poet provides a demonstration of the extent to which reality can only be grasped and apprehended in epic poetry through images that are constructed from various individual perspectives. This volume will be of interest to students of comparative and classical literature philosophers and readers of Homeric epic. All Greek passages are translated and discussions of technical language are kept to a minimum. ; 1.04 x 9.31 x 6.34 Inches; 251 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover
