GREEK PERSONAL NAMES Their Value as Evidence
Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. One corner very lightly bumped else fine. ; Proceedings of the British Academy 104; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 192 pages; Within the great diversity of their world, the assertion of origin was essential to the ancient Greeks in defining their sense of who they were and how they distinguished themselves from neighbours and strangers. Each person's name might carry both identity and origin - 'I am' . . . inseparable from 'I come from' . . . Names have surfaced in many guises and locations - on coins and artefacts, embedded within inscriptions and manuscripts - carrying with them evidence even from prehistoric and preliterate times. The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names has already identified more than 200,000 individuals. The contributors to this volume draw on this resource to demonstrate the breadth of scholarly uses to which name evidence can be put. These essays narrate the stories of political and social change revealed by the incidence of personal names and cast a fascinating light upon both the natural and supernatural phenomena which inspired them. This volume offers dramatic illumination of the ways in which the ancient Greeks both created and interpreted their world through the specific language of personal names.

The Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization
Unrivaled in scope and scholarship, The Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization is an indispensable guide to the richly textured history of ancient Greece and Rome. The meticulously detailed entries contained within this volume breathe life into the people, places, and events that shaped the development of classical civilization. Readers will learn that Alexander the Great's grand army consisted of 48,500 soldiers and was the largest ever to leave Greek soil, that the white facades of refined Ionic structures in Greece were once washed with vibrant reds and blues, and that the Theodosian Code, a collection of Roman law published in AD 438, still survives today. Here are examinations of the Eves and works of great philosophers and literary figures, such as Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Sophocles, Seneca, Aeschylus and the poets Ovid and Sappho. Mythology and religion were integral parts of classical civilization, and from Aphrodite and Hermes to funerary rites and sacrifice, they are integral parts of this volume as well. Filled with both essay length articles and short quick reference entries, this extraordinarily thorough yet accessibly written book is a treasury of information on classical civilization. 795p. bibliography [+ 10 pages of maps] NOTE : Large HEAVY volume [2 kg] [25X19X5 cm] Book

The Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization
"In 1996, Oxford published the third edition of its excellent resource, The Oxford Classical Dictionary. The goal of this new volume is to appeal to a wider audience by making some changes in the way the material from that dictionary is presented. While no entries have been shortened, some that were considered too recondite or technical for the nonspecialist have been omitted. Bibliographies attached to entries in the dictionary have been replaced by a general bibliography at the back of the book, and color and black-and-white illustrations illuminate some of the entries. Entries are now grouped under the following broad subject areas: History, Law & Society, Literature & Scholarship, Philosophy & Religion, and Science,Technology,& Material Culture" 795p. bibliography [+ 10 pages of maps] NOTE : Large HEAVY volume [2 kg] [25X19X5 cm]793p. + maps.

Greece and the Greek Islands
Greece is a country whose heritage spans the world. Its thinkers, architects, politicians, athletes, writers, and artists all played their part in creating the world we know today. Lying in a key strategic position between Europe, Asia, and Africa, Greece is commonly regarded as the cradle of western civilization and its cultural heritage was also of considerable influence in the history of North Africa and the Middle East. Fragments of this civilization can be found all over the world, not just in the ruins and museums of the Mediterranean countries, but also in neoclassical buildings, in art and sculpture, in the thought and institutions of world democracies.256 illus index Book

Les débuts de la science grecque de Thalès à Aristote
Coll. "Textes à l'appui", Paris, éd. Maspero, 1974, EDITION ORIGINALE, in-8, cartonnage souple à rabats, couv. ill. en sépia éditeur, 192 pp., 1 carte en noir, bibliographie, tableau chonologique, table des figures, index, table des matières, "À la fois un livre de synthèse dont il n'existe aucun équivalent français et un livre d'ouverture débouchant sur la réflexion et la recherche. L'auteur n'a pas cherché à énumérer banalement des théories, encore moins à marquer les étapes d'un " progrès ". Aucun mot grec n'est l'équivalent exact de ce que nous appelons la " science ". Mais les Grecs se sont posés des problèmes que nous appelons scientifiques et ils ont réfléchi à la fois sur ces problèmes que nous appelons scientifiques et ils ont réfléchi à la fois sur ces problèmes et sur la nature même de leur démarche réflexive. " De ce fait, l'étude des débuts de la science grecque est une étude du développement et de l'interaction des opinions touchant la nature de la recherche, tout autant qu'une étude du contenu des théories qui furent proposées. " L'auteur a conçu son sujet de façon très large, dessinant le cadre social et technologique dans lequel s'insère le mouvement intellectuel, traitant tantôt des écoles - les milésiens , les pythagoriciens, Platon, Aristote -, tantôt des disciplines - la médecine, l'astronomie - tantôt enfin des problèmes : comment perçoit-on le " changement'.

Hoyos Dexter
Hannibal: Rome's Greatest Enemy (Bristol Phoenix Press Greece and Rome Live)
8vo, br. ed. 128pp. Hannibal's enduring reputation as a man and as a general is due to his enemies' fascination with him. The way his legend was shaped in the Greek and Roman consciousness is one of the book's main themes. Under Hannibal's leadership, Carthage came close to dominating the western Mediterranean; his total victory would have changed the course of history. That he was a brilliant general is unquestioned and his strategy and tactics have been studied as real-life lessons in war even into the modern era (Norman Schwartzkopf is a fan). His political career is less appreciated and his achievements as civilian leader of Carthage in 196-5 BC have been virtually overlooked. The issue of whether he might indeed have changed history had he postponed conflict with Rome and concentrated first on Carthage's own prosperity and safety is explored in this volume as vigorously as the military questions
