‎Fakinos,Aris‎

‎The Marked Men‎

‎"At the height of the Greek Civil War,a lost nationalist army patrol seeks refuge in Doliani, a small village in the rugged Macedonian mountains, decimated by an endless stream of invading armies - Bulgarians,Italians,Germans, and finally their fellow Greeks. (it) is a pentrating indictment of the current regime in Greece as well,for many of those now in power appear in the novel. "in 1966, while embroiled in a political trial, Fakinos dramatically proved existence of a 'generals' plot' to establish a Greek military dictatorship by force. When the predicted coup d'etat occurred on April 21, 1967, he fled Greece with the unfinished manuscript of this book" Book‎

‎LATIN POETS AND ITALIAN GODS‎

‎Large closed tear to back panel of DJ (8cm). Now protected in mylar sleeve. Bottom corners slightly bumped. ; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures, Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter, Mars, and Juno. However, real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters, the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers, the lusty garden god Priapus, and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age.‎

‎Faraone, Christopher A.‎

‎ANCIENT GREEK LOVE MAGIC‎

‎Spine sunned and a bit discolored. ; The ancient Greeks commonly resorted to magic spells to attract and keep lovers--as numerous allusions in Greek literature and recently discovered "voodoo dolls," magical papyri, gemstones, and curse tablets attest. Surveying and analyzing these various texts and artifacts, Christopher Faraone reveals that gender is the crucial factor in understanding love spells. There are, he argues, two distinct types of love magic: the curselike charms used primarily by men to torture unwilling women with fiery and maddening passion until they surrender sexually; and the binding spells and debilitating potions generally used by women to sedate angry or philandering husbands and make them more affectionate. Faraone's lucid analysis of these spells also yields a number of insights about the construction of gender in antiquity, for example, the "femininity" of socially inferior males and the "maleness" of autonomous prostitutes. Most significantly, his findings challenge the widespread modern view that all Greek men considered women to be naturally lascivious. Faraone reveals the existence of an alternate male understanding of the female as "naturally" moderate and chaste, who uses love magic to pacify and control the "naturally" angry and passionate male. This fascinating study of magical practices and their implications for perceptions of male and female sexuality offers an unusual look at ancient Greek religion and society. ; 224 pages‎
