ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Albersmeier, Sabine (Ed. )
HEROES Mortals and Myths in Ancient Greece
Faint creasing to DJ. ; This handsome volume explores the integral role of heroes in ancient Greek art and culture. More than a hundred stunning statues, reliefs, vases, bronzes, coins, and gems drawn from major American and European collections highlight how heroes were represented, why they were important, and what encouraged individuals to seek them out. To contemporary eyes, Greek heroes embody contradiction: they might have superhuman powers, but their mortality was what made them heroic. Many were regarded as benevolent ancestors with powers to protect and heal, but others were dangerous and haunted spirits of the dead, who had to be appeased. Although epic, drama, and the visual arts abound in representations of heroes whose fame has carried over into modern times, cult and funerary architecture commemorate many more individuals whose names and deeds are entirely lost to us. Featuring essays by leading authorities in the field, this book draws on recent archaeological, literary, and art historical research to explore such issues as gender, cult, and iconography, as well as overlooked aspects of familiar (Herakles, Achilles, and Odysseus) and unfamiliar heroes (Helen of Troy). ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 328 pages

Alberti Marta; Zanolla Silvia
Il regno invisibile delle emozioni
ill., ril. "C'erano una volta un re e una regina che si chiamavano Amore e Psiche. Dalla loro unione erano nati quattro bellissimi figli: Gioia, Tristezza, Rabbia e Paura. Il regno di Amore e Psiche era un regno davvero speciale, infatti, nonostante fosse molto grande, riuscivano a vederlo solo coloro che vi entravano con cuore aperto. A tutti gli altri il regno rimaneva invisibile..." La fiaba, quasi come un racconto di viaggio, è un invito ad avventurarci nel regno invisibile delle emozioni, proprio nel momento in cui si stanno decidendo le sue sorti: chi, dei quattro fratelli, è destinato a diventare primo e unico consigliere del re e della regina? Cosa accadrebbe se il regno di Amore e Psiche fosse governato da una sola delle emozioni? Come insegna la migliore tradizione filosofica - laddove il ragionamento non può arrivare - la fiaba, come il mito, ci aiuta a ritornare alla fonte di un sapere lontano e inaccessibile ma, al tempo stesso, familiare e vicinissimo, perché affonda le sue radici nel nostro mondo interiore. Età di lettura: da 7 anni.

Terragni ultimo
Guida 1987 188 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO, PARI AL NUOVO All'opera di Giuseppe Terragni può legittimamente attribuirsi la coscienza prima del disorientamento, l’ultimo eroico tentativo di interpretare la «fine» come palingenesi, motivo di una rinascita e di una rinnovata progettualità. Essa, quindi, si pone come obbligato riferimento per chi voglia risalire ai motivi che hanno determinato la crisi attuale del progetto. Ma, al tempo stesso, il suo confronto con la politica, fino all'affermazione di un ruolo autonomo dell’architettura nella rappresentazione storica e civile delle genti, ne fa un elemento fondamentale del dibattito culturale tra le due guerre e, dunque, un aiuto prezioso alla più generale lettura della nostra storia recente. Indice introduzione Capitolo primo - Il moderno come oltremoderno Capitolo secondo - Il principe numinoso Capitolo terzo - Genio e popolo Capitolo quarto - L’eterno femminino Capitolo quinto - La maschera del sacro

MARS AND RHEA SILVIA IN ROMAN ART
Latomus. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Among the stories surrounding the legendary foundation of the city of Rome by the twins Romulus and Remus previous scholarly attention has focused primarily on one scene – the depiction of the she-wolf nursing the twins following their miraculous salvation from the floodwaters of the Tiber. This book examines another event in the cycle the conception of the twins in which the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia is visited in her sleep and raped by the god Mars. Some fifty-one examples of the encounter of Mars and Rhea Silvia are analyzed drawn from coins relief sculpture gems wall painting mosaics and pottery covering a time frame from the motif’s origin in the early 1st century B. C. To its disappearance in the late 4th century A. D. An analysis of the scene's iconographical evolution and its documented periods of popularity both in the public and private sphere are associated with contemporary trends in Roman literature religion and art. This monograph on the representation of Mars and Rhea Silvia is not simply a self-contained study of a single motif over a specific time frame. Within the realm of Roman art the book discusses larger issues concerning the relationship between art myth and religion and political propaganda drawing from methodologies of appropriation Kopienkritik word and image semiotics and memory culture. As such the book constitutes a case study whose conclusions may serve as guidelines for the study of Roman art in general.; Collection Latomus Volume 336; 241 pages . 2870312776 . Latomus paperback

Alexander S. Murray
Manual of Mythology: Greek and Romen, Norse, and old German, Hindoo and Egyptian Mythology [Hardcover]
About The Book -: There is a charm in the name of ancient Greece; there is glory in every page of her history; there is a fascination in the remains of her literature, and a sense of unapproachable beauty in her works of art; there is a spell in her climate still, and a strange attraction in her ruins. We are familiar with the praises of her beautiful islands; our poets sing of her lovely genial sky. There is not in all the land a mountain, plain, or river, nor a fountain, grove, or wood, that is not hallowed by some legend or poetic tale. We look back over a period of more than two thousand years with feelings of wonder at her achievements on the battle-field and in the arts of peace. We emulate her in many ways, but always confess to failure; and when we have no desire of emulation, we are still ready in most cases to admire. How far we may find just cause for admiration or the contrary with regard to her religion remains to be seen. But whichever way it be, we shall at any rate find abundant evidence of the intense hold it has upon the great mass of the people, and of the important influence it was calculated to exercise on their civilization. The mechanic traced the skill and handicraft which grew unconsciously upon him by practice to the direct Influence of a god. Artists ascribed the mysterious evolution of their ideas, and poets the inspiration of their song, to the same superior cause. Everywhere in nature was felt the presence of august invisible beings: in the sky, with its luminaries and clouds; on the sea, with its fickle, changeful movements; on the earth, with its lofty peaks, its plains and rivers. It seemed that man himself, and everything around him, was upheld by Divine power. About the Author -: Alexander Stuart Murray, FBA (1841 –1904) was a Scottish archaeologist. He was known for excavations on Cyprus. Murray was born at Arbroath, and educated there, at the Royal High School, Edinburgh and at the Universities of Edinburgh and Berlin. In 1867 he entered the British Museum as an assistant in the department of Greek and Roman antiquities under Sir Charles Newton, whom he succeeded in 1886. In 1873 Murray published a Manual of Mythology, and in the following year contributed to the Contemporary Review two articles—one on the Homeric question—which led to a friendship with Mr Gladstone, the other on Greek painters. In 1874 he also published the popular work Who's Who in Mythology. In 1880-1883 he brought out his History of Greek Sculpture: From the Earliest Times Down to the Age of Pheidias, which at once became a standard work. Murray's other official publications include three folio volumes on Terra-cotta Sarcophagi, White Athenian Vases and Designs from Greek Vases. In 1898 he wrote for the Portfolio a monograph on Greek bronzes, founded on lectures delivered at the Royal Academy in that year, and he contributed many articles on archaeology to standard publications. In recognition of his services to archaeology he was made LL.D. of Glasgow University in 1887 and elected a corresponding member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1900.
