‎Courtesans and Fishcakes : The Consuming Passions of Classical Athens‎

‎The luxury of the ancient world is legendary, but the Athenian reputation is sober because this wealthy, successful city-state spent all its money on the conspicuous consumption of ephemeral things. Their consuming passions for food, wine and sex drove their society, as well as generating the rich web of privilege, transgression, guilt and taboo for which they are remembered today. Using pamphlets, comic satires, forensic speeches - from authors as illustrious as Plato and as ignored as Philaenis - as source material - this study combines a traditional classicist's rigour with an appreciation of the new analytical techniques pioneered in gender and cultural studies to provide an alternative view of ancient Athenian culture and to bring its reality into a focus easier on the modern eye. A fascinating investigation of how ancient Athenians looked at food and women and sex..372p. plates. bibliography.index. Book‎

‎GREEK INSECTS‎

‎Old price sticker to front inner cover. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 208 pages; This authoritative study of Greek insects treats not only the obvious questions of their identity--in modern terms of species and genera--but also such topics as the etymologies (both formal and popular) of the various insect names, the folklore, religious and other signficant associations, and the differences in attitude shown toward them by the ancient and modern world. Patterned after two famous studies by D'Arcy Thompson--A Glossary of Greek Birds and A Glossary of Greek Fishes--this volume provides a meticulous survey of the topic, examining the ancient literature and the enormous secondary literature connected with it, as well as the most recent scientific findings. Like Thompson's glossaries, this work focuses primarily on evidence from literature and art, with later evidence brought in only when needed for a full understanding of the facts. Compiled by a classics scholar working with a zoologist, this glossary provides alphabetically-arranged entries on such common insects as the ant, the louse, the butterfly, the wasp, the bedbug, the cricket, and the praying mantis. The first comprehensive study on this subject, Greek Insects belongs on the bookshelf of every Greek scholar, and it will be of considerable interest to educated readers.‎

Il tente seulement de reconstituer la partie de ce cycle qui concerne exclusivement les Achéens et précède l'épisode, relatif à la colère d'Achille, par lequel débute l'Iliade, partie correspondant, essentiellement, au deuxième volet des chants Cypriens, dont nous possédons ce que les siècles et les hommes ont bien voulu nous laisser parvenir [ ... ]".

‎The Ariadne Objective: The Underground War to Rescue Crete from the Nazis‎

‎New York: Crown Publishers 2000 In the bleakest years of World War II when it appeared that nothing could slow the German army Hitler set his sights on the Mediterranean island of Crete the ideal staging ground for German domination of the Middle East. But German command had not counted on the eccentric band of British intelligence officers who would stand in their way conducting audacious sabotage operations in the very shadow of the Nazi occupation force. The Ariadne Objective tells the remarkable story of the secret war on Crete from the perspective of these amateur soldiers - scholars archaeologists writers- who found themselves serving as spies in Crete because as one of them put it they had made '' "the obsolete choice of Greek at school".Patrick Leigh Fermor a Byronic figure and future travel-writing luminary who as a teenager had walked across Europe in the midst of Hitler's rise to power; John Pendlebury a swashbuckling archaeologist with a glass eye and a swordstick who had been legendary archeologist Arthur Evans's assistant at Knossos before the war; Xan Fielding a writer who would later produce the English translations of books like Bridge over the River Kwai and Planet of the Apes; and Sandy Rendel a future Times of London reporter who prided himself on a disguise that left him looking more ragged and fierce than the Cretan mountaineers he fought alongside. Infiltrated into occupied Crete these British gentleman spies teamed with Cretan partisans to carry out a cunning plan to disrupt Nazi maneuvers culminating in a daring high-risk plot to abduct the islands German commander. In this thrilling untold story of World War II Wes Davis offers a brilliant portrait of a group of legends in the making against the backdrop of one of the wars most exotic locales. 329p. bibliography.index. 1st US Edition.

‎In Praise of Barbarians: Essays against Empire‎

He skewers contemporary idols such as Mel Gibson, Niall Ferguson, and Howard Dean; unlocks some secret doors in the Pentagon and the California prison system; visits Star Wars in the Arctic and vigilantes on the border; predicts ethnic cleansing in New Orleans more than a year before Katrina; recalls the anarchist avengers of the 1890s and teeny-bopper” riots on the Sunset Strip in the 1960s; discusses the moral bankruptcy of the Democrats in Kansas and West Virginia; remembers Private Ivan,” who defeated fascism; and looks at the future of capitalism from the top of Hubbert’s Peak. No writer in the United States today brings together analysis and history as comprehensively and elegantly as Mike Davis. In these contemporary, interventionist essays, Davis goes beyond critique to offer real solutions and concrete possibilities for change. Writer, historian, and activist Mike Davis is the author many books, including City of Quartz, The Ecology of Fear, The Monster at Our Door, and Planet of Slums.
