Hanson, Victor Davis
WARFARE AND AGRICULTURE IN CLASSICAL GREECE
Faint sunning to spine. ; The ancient Greeks were for the most part a rural, not an urban, society. And for much of the Classical period, war was more common than peace. Almost all accounts of ancient history assume that farming and fighting were critical events in the lives of the citizenry. Yet never before have we had a comprehensive modern study of the relationship between agriculture and warfare in the Greek world. In this completely revised edition of Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece, Victor Davis Hanson provides a systematic review of Greek agriculture and warfare and describes the relationship between these two important aspects of life in ancient communities. With careful attention to agronomic as well as military details, this well-written, thoroughly researched study reveals the remarkable resilience of those farmland communities. ; 0.87 x 9.25 x 6.12 Inches; 281 pages

WARS OF THE ANCIENT GREEKS
Very Light shelfwear. ; This brilliant account covers a millennium of Greek warfare. With specially commissioned battle maps and vivid illustrations, Victor Davis Hanson takes the reader into the heart of Greek warfare, classical beliefs, and heroic battles. This colorful portrait of ancient Greek culture explains why their approach to fighting was so ruthless and so successful. Development of the Greek city-state and the rivalries of Athens and Sparta. Rise of Alexander the Great and the Hellenization of the Western world. Famous thinkers—Sophocles, Socrates, Demosthenes—who each faced his opponent in battle, armed with spear and shield. Unsurpassed military theories that still influence the structure of armies and the military today. ; Smithsonian History of Warfare; 240 pages

HOPLITES The Classical Greek Battle Experience
Minor shelfwear with creasing to spine. ; 304 pages; Incorporating research found in ancient literary, iconographic, epigraphic, and archaeological sources, this book explores the experiences of the soldiers who conducted battle on the small plains of ancient Greece. The volume, which draws on the accumulated expertise of nine American and British scholars, emphasizes the actual techniques of fighting and practical concerns as the use of commands, music in warfare, the use of "dog-tags", and ritual on the battlefield.

Hanson, Victor Davis; John Keegan (Intro. )
THE WESTERN WAY OF WAR Infantry Battle in Classical Greece
271 pages; Second Edition. The Greeks of the classical age invented not only the central idea of Western politics--that the power of state should be guided by a majority of its citizens--but also the central act of Western warfare, the decisive infantry battle. Instead of ambush, skirmish, maneuver, or combat between individual heroes, the Greeks of the fifth century b. C. Devised a ferocious, brief, and destructive head-on clash between armed men of all ages. In this bold, original study, Victor Davis Hanson shows how this brutal enterprise was dedicated to the same outcome as consensual government--an unequivocal, instant resolution to dispute. The Western Way of War draws from an extraordinary range of sources--Greek poetry, drama, and vase painting, as well as historical records--to describe what actually took place on the battlefield. It is the first study to explore the actual mechanics of classical Greek battle from the vantage point of the infantryman--the brutal spear-thrusting, the difficulty of fighting in heavy bronze armor which made it hard to see, hear and move, and the fear. Hanson also discusses the physical condition and age of the men, weaponry, wounds, and morale. This compelling account of what happened on the killing fields of the ancient Greeks ultimately shows that their style of armament and battle was contrived to minimize time and life lost by making the battle experience as decisive and appalling as possible. Linking this new style of fighting to the rise of constitutional government, Hanson raises new issues and questions old assumptions about the history of war.

FROM THE END OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR TO THE BATTLE OF IPSUS
DJ spine is discolored. Minor shelfwear to DJ. Very minor shelfwear to book. ; Translated Documents of Greece and Rome 2; 232 pages; The second volume of Translated Documents of Greece and Rome is a collection of English translations with commentary and bibliography, ancient and modern, of the major inscriptions and historical fragments relating to the history of Greece in the fourth century BC. The book is designed to supplement existing translations of the extant historical works of the period, so that the student who knows neither Greek nor Latin can study the fourth century in greater depth than has previously been possible. The period covered by this collection includes the restoration of the democracy at Athens in 403/2, the creation of the Second Athenian Naval League, the Theban hegemony, the Sacred and Social Wars, the rise of Philip of Macedon, the career of his son Alexander, the Lamian War and, finally, the first rounds of the battle for the succession. There are documents from places as far apart as Priene and Tegea, but the majority come from Athens. This collection includes such material as alliances and peace treaties, honorific decrees, catalogues of temple deposits and naval equipment, laws, accounts, dedications, legal decisions, royal correspondence, constitutions and some important fragments of narrative histories. This book will be welcomed by teachers and students of ancient history.

TRANSLATING WORDS, TRANSLATING CULTURES
Faint crease to 1 corner of wraps. Scholar's name to half title (Robert Brown). ; Never have there been so many different types of translations of Greek and Latin literature into English. Most people experience Homer and Greek tragedy for the first time through translations. New versions of Vergil and Ovid have become best sellers. This book examines the literary and cultural environment underlying the various kinds of translation - from 'faithful' and 'equivalent' through 'imitation' to 'adaptation' and 'version' - discussing the extent to which translations have been regarded as creative work in their own right and their impact in the work of modern writers such as Harrison, Heaney, Hughes and Walcott. Key themes include the challenge presented by translations to conventional interpretations of the classical canon; the implications of translating across genres - for example in the staging of epic; and the role of translations in twentieth-century conflicts. Lorna Hardwick suggests that translations from Greek and Latin literature are catalysts in the refiguring of both poetic and political awareness and that in transplanting myths and metaphors into disparate cultures, translations energise new senses of cultural identity. ; Classical Inter/Faces; 128 pages

CLASSICS IN POST-COLONIAL WORLDS
Very light shelfwear to book and DJ. Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). ; Classical material was traditionally used to express colonial authority, but it was also appropriated by imperial subjects to become first a means of challenging colonialism and then a rich field for creating cultural identities that blend the old and the new. Nobel prize-winners such as Derek Walcott and Seamus Heaney have rewritten classical material in their own cultural idioms while public sculpture in southern Africa draws on Greek and Roman motifs to represent histories of African resistance and liberation. These developments are explored in this collection of essays by international scholars, who debate the relationship between the culture of Greece and Rome and the changes that have followed the end of colonial empires. ; Classical Presences; 420 pages

HARID FERAI.
Kus-Hasanlar, Nâm-i diger Hasan-Bulliler. Kibris'in eskiyasi.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Fine+. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. Color ills. 162 p. History and biography of a Cypriot bandit. Under Ottoman rule, in 1571 was introduced the "Millet" system in Cyprus: members of different religions were considered a single "Millet" 'nation' and each Millet had its own religious and educational institutions as well as civil law; the result could be considered self-government (Çevikel 1997). When Cyprus became under the British rule in 1878, the Millet system was maintained with some modifications. It was in these circumstances that the events underlying the epic of the Hasanbullis took place (Gürkan NA; Ismailoglu NA): Turkish Cypriot brothers nicknamed Bulli hid in the mountains in 1887-1888 and 1894-1896 as they believed they were unjustly accused and sentenced. During that time they committed several crimes. Despite this, both Turkish and Greek Cypriots regarded the Hasanbulli brothers positively as people fighting against the regime. Ten to fifteen years later, two epics in Turkish and Greek, plus various publications and works of art based on the event were written (see e.g. Kareklas 1938; Machlouzarides 1973; Gelen 1973; Ismailoglu; Islamoglu 1994; Serdar 1986; Yorgancioglu 1980: 100-102; Sayil 1988: 18; Fedai 1993: 1-7; Gökçeoglu 1993; Gürkan NA; Lyssarides 1995: 11; Bozkurt 1996: 59-64; 1998; Cahit 1997; Sadikoglu 1999: 34; 2000: 34). In these works the events were treated differently: Greek Cypriots depict the Hasanbullis as bandits while the Turkish appear to be brave heroes who rose against the British rule. The current article aims to analyse and discuss differences between these two approaches. THE CASE OF HASANBULLIS In May 1887, at a small village in the impoverished region of Paphos, where the Turks and Greeks live in mixed communities, a Turkish youngster Hasan Ahmet Bulli is unjustly accused of theft. False witnesses as well as his own quickness (which lead him to be nicknamed Bulli, 'bird' in Greek) play a role in the accusation. Once Hasan Ahmet Bulli is convicted, he arms himself and takes to the mountains. He wanders about in the mountains for 18 months, committing murders and fighting with the police. He is caught when he is sheltering at a house during a spell of malaria. He is sentenced to death but his punishment is then converted to life imprisonment. Six years later, in 1894, Ahmet Hasan Bulli's brothers Kaymakam and Hüseyin Ahmet Bulli take to the mountains when accused of committing a murder after one Greek Cypriot is killed in a Turkish- Greek fight over a woman. With others joining them, they form a powerful gang and continue their activities at the mountains until 1896. In the meantime, the elder brother Hasan escapes from prison to join his brothers, but he is shot dead. In 1896, one of the brothers, Hüseyin is killed at a confrontation with the police; Mehmet and other members of the gang are captured and executed by hanging. The Hasanbullis case considerably preoccupied the British administration in Cyprus and it eventually became a matter of prestige. It is obvious that both the Turkish and the Greek in Cyprus saw Hasanbullis as people who rose against the British administration: despite the fact that the British Colonial Regime offered rewards for their capture and enacted special legislation for it, and despite the security troops pursuing them and the use of hired informers, the Hasanbullis managed to live at the mountains for a long time. Unquestionably this was possible only thanks to people who protected, hid, supported, fed, and informed them of any danger.

Özerk toplumsal girisimlerin araci olarak derneklerin ortaya çikisi, özellikle geç dönem Osmanli tarihinin en ilgi çekici konularindan biridir. Elinizdeki çalisma, Osmanli Imparatorlugu'ndaki Rum-Ortodoks toplulugun en taninmis ve uzun ömürlü cemiyetlerinden birini, Dersaadet Rum Cemiyet-i Edebiyesi'ni konu ediniyor. Kitap, Osmanli Rum orta sinifinin 19. yüzyilin ikinci yarisinda hizla çogalan cemiyetler vasitasiyla kendi kimligini insa süreci üzerine egiliyor. Cemiyetleri, kolektif deneyimi anlamlandiran ve bilince dönüstüren bir "egitimli topluluk" olarak tanimlayan Eksertzoglou, Cemiyet-i Edebiye'nin düzenledigi müsabaka ve konferans gibi etkinlikleri inceleyerek, cemiyetin olusturdugu söyleme odaklaniyor; bu söylemin yükselen Yunan milliyetçiligiyle hangi noktalarda iliskilendiginin izlerini sürmeye çalisiyor. Cemiyetleri baglantili olduklari toplumsal tabakalarin basit birer yansimasi olarak ele almaktan kaçinan yazar, Rum burjuva katmanlarin hayirseverlik ve egitim gibi etkinlik alanlarindaki inisyatiflerinin kendi cemaatleri ve Osmanli sistemindeki konumlari üzerindeki etkilerini irdeliyor. -- Osmanli tarihi Sosyal tarih Azinlik Rum cemaati

RESTRAINING RAGE The Ideology of Anger Control in Classical Antiquity
Very faint bump to 1 corner else book is fine. DJ has light edgewear with a bit of creasing. ; The angry emotions, and the problems they presented, were an ancient Greek preoccupation from Homer to late antiquity. From the first lines of the Iliad to the church fathers of the fourth century A. D. , the control or elimination of rage was an obsessive concern. From the Greek world it passed to the Romans. Drawing on a wide range of ancient texts, and on recent work in anthropology and psychology, Restraining Rage explains the rise and persistence of this concern. W. V. Harris shows that the discourse of anger-control was of crucial importance in several different spheres, in politics--both republican and monarchical--in the family, and in the slave economy. He suggests that it played a special role in maintaining male domination over women. He explores the working out of these themes in Attic tragedy, in the great Greek historians, in Aristotle and the Hellenistic philosophers, and in many other kinds of texts. From the time of Plato onward, educated Greeks developed a strong conscious interest in their own psychic health. Emotional control was part of this. Harris offers a new theory to explain this interest, and a history of the anger-therapy that derived from it. He ends by suggesting some contemporary lessons that can be drawn from the Greek and Roman experience. ; 480 pages
