New York: Farrar Straus and Giroux 2003 For thousands of years and in many different cultures cities and states individuals have consulted oracles in time of need. In this fascinating exploration of the history and enduring popularity of oracles Michael Wood examines how they are interpreted and why.The inherent ambiguity of many oracular pronouncements and the ingenuity and tendentiousness of many readings of them form the basis for Woods analyses of oracles both real and imagined.

He also looks at later instances of oracles arguing that consultations have evolved in many ways over the years and that echoes and survivals of old practices in modern literature and popular culture.continue to exert an important influence over human civilization. Lively engaging and remarkably revealing The Road to Delphi shows an ancient art at work in many times and places and invites us to think again about the ways in which we deal with our longing for the certainties we know we cant have.271p. bibliography. index. 1st US Edition.

Wood, Ellen Meiksins
Peasant, Citizen and Slave: The Foundations of Athenian Democracy
The controversial thesis at the center of this study is that, despite the importance of slavery in Athenian society, the most distinctive characteristic of Athenian democracy was the unprecedented prominence it gave to free labor. Wood argues that the emergence of the peasant as citizen, juridically and politically independent, accounts for much that is remarkable in Athenian political institutions and om a survey of historical writings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the focus of which distorted later debates, Wood goes on to take issue with recent arguments, such as those of G.E.M. de Ste Croix, about the importance of slavery in agricultural production. The social, political and cultural influence of the peasant-citizen is explored in a way which questions some of the most cherished conventions of Marxist and non-Marxist historiography.210.index Shabby reading copy, but text complete.

The British themselves however have been slow to honour their fellow-countrymen who fought for the first of the new nation states to achieve independence in the nineteenth century. In this account of the movement at home and in the field Mr. Woodhouse shows that it did not consist merely of Byron plus an entourage of eccentrics ruffian and romantics though there were plenty of all three. They were part of an international movement of protest in which nationalism religion radicalism and commercial greed all played a part as well as sentiment and pure heroism.

Woodhouse, C.M
Rhigas Velestinlis : The Proto-Martyr of the Greek Revolution
(New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) Rhigas of Velestino (1757-1798), popularly known as Rhigas Pheraios, is one of the greatest national heroes of modern Greece for it was he who some thirty years before the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821 first conceived the possibility of a full-scale national revolution to free Greece from the domination of its Ottoman overlords. His aim was not simply an armed rebellion but a regeneration of his people, through education, literature and social and political awareness. To this end he wrote patriotic stories, poems, scientific lectures, he published maps and translations, and drafted a constitution, and he was the first Greek to insist that the popular language, or demotic Greek, should become the country's official language. But he was not to witness the realisation of his vision. On his way up to stir up the Greeks of the Mani he was betrayed, arrested in Trieste by the Austrian police, extradited to the Turkish authorities and executed, with seven colleagues, at Belgrade. This book is the first comprehensive study of Rhigas's life and ideas in English, and includes 14 black and white illustrations. Book
