THE DISTAFF SIDE Representing the Female in Homer's Odyssey
Pencil marginalia and underlining to a few pages. Inner hinges are weakened and book is slanted. Scholar's name to ffep (Jenifer Neils). ; Female Characters play various roles in the Odyssey: patron goddess (Athena) , seductress (Kirke, the Sirens, Nausikaa) , carnivorous monster (Skylla) , maid servant (Eurykleia) , and faithful wife (Penelope). Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this study examines these different femalerepresentations and their significance within the context of the poem and Greek culture. A central theme of the book is the visualization of the Odyssey's female characters by ancient artists, and several essays discuss the visual and iconographic implications of Odysseus' female encounters asdepicted in Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art. The distinguished contributors--from the fields of classical studies, comparative literature, art history, and archaeology--are A. J. Graham, Seth L. Schein, Diana Buitron-Oliver, Beth Cohen, Sheila Murnaghan, Lillian Eileen Doherty, Helene P. Foley, FromaI. Zeitlin, H. A. Shapiro, Richard Brilliant, Jenifer Neils, and Christine Mitchell Havelock. Feminine in orientation, but not narrowly feminist in approach, this first interdisciplinary work on the Odyssey's female characters will have a broad audience amongst scholars and students working inclassical studies, iconography and art history, women's studies, mythology, and ancient history. ; 0.72 x 9.24 x 6.09 Inches; 229 pages; Signed by Contributor

THE CRIMINAL COURTS OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC AND PRINCIPATE With a Preface by John Crook
DJ is price-clipped. Very light foxing to textblock. ; 143 pages; Provides a massive reinforcement for Livy's, Cicero's and Mommsen's view of the early Roman criminal courts-- namely that they were indeed the assembly of the people acting as a court of appeal against a magisterial sentence. Also describes minutely the working of the quaestiones, the standing jury courts of the age of Cicero and considers how satisfactory was the justice they provided. Lastly he describes the developments in criminal justice under the emperors of the Principate.
