Connelly Joan Breton
The Parthenon Enigma: A New Understanding of The West's Most Iconic Building and the People Who Made it
New York: A.A.Knopf 2014 Built in the fifth century b.c. the Parthenon has been venerated for more than two millennia as the West�s ultimate paragon of beauty and proportion. Since the Enlightenment it has also come to represent our political ideals the lavish temple to the goddess Athena serving as the model for our most hallowed civic architecture. But how much do the values of those who built the Parthenon truly correspond with our own And apart from the significance with which we have invested it what exactly did this marvel of human hands mean to those who made it In this revolutionary book Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations she re-creates the development of the Acropolis -the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state- from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme. In particular she probes the Parthenon�s legendary frieze: the 525-foot-long relief sculpture that originally encircled the upper reaches before it was partially destroyed by Venetian cannon fire in the seventeenth century. . The frieze�s vast enigmatic procession -a dazzling pageant of cavalrymen and elders musicians and maidens - has for more than two hundred years been thought to represent a scene of annual civic celebration in the birthplace of democracy. But thanks to a once-lost play by Euripides the discovery of which in the wrappings of a Hellenistic Egyptian mummy is only one of this book�s intriguing adventures Connelly has uncovered a long-buried meaning a story of human sacrifice set during the city�s mythic founding. In a society startlingly preoccupied with cult ritual this story was at the core of what it meant to be Athenian. Connelly reveals a world that beggars our popular notions of Athens as a city of staid philosophers rationalists and rhetoricians a world in which our modern secular conception of democracy would have been simply incomprehensible. The Parthenon�s full significance has been obscured until now owing in no small part Connelly argues to the frieze�s dismemberment. And so her investigation concludes with a call to reunite the pieces in order that what is perhaps the greatest single work of art surviving from antiquity may be viewed more nearly as its makers intended. Marshalling a breathtaking range of textual and visual evidence full of fresh insights woven into a thrilling narrative that brings the distant past to life The Parthenon Enigma is sure to become a landmark in our understanding of the civilization from which we claim cultural descent. 512p. illus some col bibliographyindex . 1st US Edition.

Warner Rex Foreword
Encyclopedia of World Mythology
Galahad Books NY 1975. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. "Every people in the world has its own myths; but it is very obvious that many of their myths are strikingly similar. These similarities may be accounted for by assuming a common racial origin at a very remote period as for example in the case of the Indo-Europeans who are also linked by language. But sometimes are found in the stories of peoples who can have had no geographical or racial connections with each other. Human beings it would seem while unlike each other in many ways have always still more in common and their imagination when confronted with similar events will react to them in much the same way."

Gaius Valerius Flaccus
The Voyage of the Argo: The Argonautica of Gaius Valerius Flaccus
Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press 1999 The story of Jason and the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece is one of the oldest and most familiar tales in classical literature. Apollonius of Rhodes wrote the best-known version in Greek in the third century B.C.E. The Latin poet Gaius Valerius Flaccus began his own interpretation of the story in the first century of the Christian era but he died before completing it. With The Voyage of the "Argo" the acclaimed poet and translator David Slavitt recovers for modern readers the only surviving work of this little-known writer. The result is an engaging rendition of Jason's adventures of particular interest when compared to the Greek version of the story. While Apollonius' tale offers a subtle psychological study of Medea Valerius Flaccus' achievement is to present Jason as a more complete and compelling heroic figure. Slavitt for one enjoyed the rediscovery immensely -- and he invites his readers to do the same.165p. Has shadow of price sticker on rear boards else as new. 1st US Edition. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket.
