DIVUS JULIUS
Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ has rubbing and chipping with small tears. DJ spine is sunned. ; This book is about Roman religion in the age of Caesar, beginning with the ancestral cults of the Gens Julia at Bovillae and ending with the new cult of Divus Julius all over the Roman Empire. It deals with the old gods, politico-religious ideas, and ruler cult. Caesar is at the centre, as religious reformer rather than modern rationalist. This aspect of him, though remote and unfamiliar, rounds out the portrait of Caesar as the founder of the Empire of which one may get an occasional glimpse in the later writings of Mommsen but which has since been too seldom presented. ; 490 pages

THE ORPHIC POEMS
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; A large number of Greek religious poems in hexameter were attributed to Orpheus, as they were to similar miracle-man figures like Bakis, Musaeus, Abaris, Aristeas, Epimenides, and the Sybil. Of this vast literature, only two examples survive whole: a set of hymns composed at some point in the 2nd or 3rd century AD, and an Orphic Argonautica composed somewhere between the 4th and 6th centuries AD. Earlier Orphic literature, which may date back as far as the 6th century BC, survives only in papyrus scraps or in quotations by later authors. ; 296 pages; Sandpiper reprint of 1983 Edition.

HESIOD: WORKS AND DAYS Edited with Prolegomena and Commentary
Very light shelfwear to book and DJ; 1996 Sandpiper reprint of 1978 Edition. ; 399 pages; Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet whose Works and Days discusses agricultural practices and society in general. Classicists and ancient historians have turned to Works and Days for its insights on Greek mythology and religion. The poem also sheds light on economic history and ancient agriculture, and is a good resource for social scientists interested in these areas. This translation emphasizes the activities and problems of a practicing agriculturist as well as the larger, changing political and economic institutions of the early archaic period. The authors provide a clear, accurate translation along with notes aimed at a broad audience. The introductory essay discusses the changing economic, political and trading world of the eighth and seventh centuries B. C. E. , while the notes present the range and possible meanings of important Greek terms and references in the poem and highlight areas of ambiguity in our understanding of Works and Days.

THE ATHENIAN INSTITUTION OF THE KHOREGIA The Chorus, the City and the Stage
Scholars' name to half-title (Mark Golden). Else very minor shelfwear. ; This book is the first major study of the means by which the classical Athenians organised and funded their many festival choruses. It explores the mechanics of the institution by which a minority of rich citizens were required to arrange and pay for a festival chorus, including choruses for tragic and comic drama, and situates this duty within the range of occasions for elite leadership in Athens' elaborate festival calendar. Peter Wilson goes on to show the importance of the khoregia to our understanding of the workings of Athenian democracy itself, and to demonstrate the degree to which the institution was itself a highly performative occasion, an opportunity for elite display in the democratic environment. The post-classical history of the khoregia and its appearance in a wide range of other Greek communities are also examined. ; 452 pages

THE GREEK THEATRE AND FESTIVALS Documentary Studies
Minor bumping. Light shelfwear to DJ and book. ; A collection of essays, by leading international scholars, on the history of the Greek theatre, and on the wider context of festival culture in which theatrical activity took place in the Greek world. The emphasis is on the documentary material - inscriptions, archaeological remains and monuments - which provides so much of our 'hard' evidence for the activities of the theatre. Much of the important material discussed here is unknown except to specialists, and these studies offer access to its interpretation to a wider audience. They cover a wide range of time and place, from the earliest days of the Greek theatre to the Roman period, with special emphasis on the neglected Hellenistic period, which is especially rich in documentary evidence. ; Oxford Studies In Ancient Documents; 8.6 X 5.7 X 1.2 inches; 400 pages

CHALLENGES TO THE POWER OF ZEUS IN EARLY GREEK POETRY
Scratches to back panel of DJ else fine. ; 192 pages; In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy. However, scattered and scanty though they may be, there are allusions to threats of rebellion which challenge Zeus' supremacy. This book examines these passages, drawn from Homer, Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns, to offer some new interpretations. While focusing on the theme of cosmic/divine strife, it becomes clear that hints of lost legends underlie these texts. Tracing their hidden logic helps to improve our understanding of early Greek poetry.
