Slight slant to spine. Else book is VG. DJ is shelfworn with creasing and edgewear to top edge; Commentary on Thucydides; 1.3 x 9.25 x 6.17 Inches; 548 pages; This is the first volume of a three-volume historical and literary commentary on the eight books of Thucydides the great fifth-century BC historian of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. Of the three books covered in this volume Book I presents Thucydides' aims in writing the work and the historical background to the war. Books II and III describe the main events of the first five years of the war 431-426 and include Pericles' funeral oration the plague of Athens the revolt of Mytilene the destruction of Plataea and civil war in Corcyra. Thucydides intended his work to be `an everlasting possession' and the continuing importance of his work is undisputed. Simon Hornblower's commentary by translating every passage or phrase of Greek commented on for the first time allows the reader with little or no Greek to appreciate the detail of Thucydides' thought and subject-matter. It is the first complete commentary written by a single author this century and explores both the historical and literary aspects of the work. A full index is provided at the end of the volume. .

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 Oxford Companion to Classical Civilization
Oxford: Oxford University Press 2004 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 48500 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 Large heavy volume - weighs 2kg/ 4.5 lb.
