Light shelfwear to book. DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; Lucian of Samosata (c.

THINKING LIKE A LAWYER Essays on Legal History and General History for John Crook on His Eightieth Birthday
Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava : Supplementum; 1 x 9.7 x 6.3 Inches; 301 pages; This is a book about the law and life of Rome—in which contributors respond to John Crook's injunction to 'think like lawyers' by ranging as far as ancient Greece, ancient Persia and modern Denmark to expound their themes and draw comparisons. An opening section focuses on Civil Law, more or less as conventionally conceived, with chapters on the peculium, on municipal law at Irni in Roman Spain, on advisers of Roman provincial governors, and on violent crime. Roman perceptions of the physical and human worlds are the focus of a second section, and comparisons between Greek, Roman and modern ways of thinking about law and government come into the third section. In the final section, contributors argue the history of law and life from refractions of real and imagined Rome.

One small closed tear to DJ along top edge near spine. ; This is the first serious attempt to formulate a system of literary criticism for ancient poetry, derived wholly from ancient evidence. It is based on methods of generic analysis, assignment and interpretation applicable to all Greek and Roman poetry. It outlines what the author deduces are the creative principles informing ancient poets' approach to their subject matter, and establishes criteria that enable an objective discussion of the poems' originality and merit. ; 331 pages

RAPE AND THE POLITICS OF CONSENT IN CLASSICAL ATHENS
Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 0.8 x 8.7 x 5.5 Inches; 260 pages; Were acts of sex which we would call rape and regard as a criminal offence similarly regarded in classical Athens? That is the main question posed in this book, the first in-depth study of the topic ever to be undertaken. It considers the legal terminology for rape and discusses exactly what these different terms describe. It also examines literary stories where rape and/or seduction feature as plot devices and looks at different characters' responses to them. The book's presentation makes it accessible to a wider readership of non-classicists.

Luschey, Heinz
RECHTS UND LINKS Untersuchungen Über Bewegungsrichtung, Seitenordnung Und Höhenordnung Als Elemente Der Antiken Bildsprache
Minor creasing along top of DJ. Minor rubbing to DJ. ; 131 pages; Das von Heinz Luschey (3. 12. 1910 -1.1. 1992) selbst gewählte Thema hat den Verfasser ein Leben lang begleitet. Doch seine Fragestellungen sind immer noch aufregend und ganz und gar nicht überholt. Heinz Luschey sagte dazu: "Das Bildmaterial ist nicht so sehr neu, es ist aber neu gesehen"; oder: "... Denn in der Bewegungsrichtung allein der Gestalten schon liegt etwas, was außer J. D. Beazley eigentlich niemand in unserer Wissenschaft gesehen hat. Wer sieht schon das Einfache?" Bernhard Schweitzer, der damalige Ordinarius für Klassische Archäologie in Tübingen, habilitierte Heinz Luschey mit dieser Arbeit und schloß sein Gutachten vom 22. 12. 1955 mit der Formulierung: "in summa: ein sehendes Auge und ein produktives Denken, Verantwortung vor Wissenschaft und Sprache, didaktische Begabung, endlich die Erfahrung und die Sicherheit eines reifen Gelehrten stehen hinter der vorgelegten Arbeit. " Karl Schefold, Klassischer Archäologe aus Basel, meinte 1993 dazu: "Als hervorragender Kenner der griechischen und römischen, aber auch der fernöstlichen und alt-orientalischen Kunst und mit seinem feinen Sinn für die Form des Kunstwerks hat er dieses Problem in einen weltgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang gestellt. " Und Heinz Gaube, Orientalist aus Tübingen: "Nun liegt die Arbeit technisch auf den wissenschaftlich neuesten Stand gebracht vor. Ich schrieb "technisch" (d. H. Die Anmerkungen) , denn inhaltlich ist an diesem Wurf nichts zu ändern. Die Arbeit ist ein "Klassiker" und kann in dieser Art von niemandem wiederholt werden. "

THE SO-CALLED PELEUS AND THETIS SARCOPHAGUS IN THE VILLA ALBANI
Iconological Studies in Roman Art , No Iconological Studies in Roman Art , No 1; 0.9 x 8.9 x 6 Inches; 179 pages; In this iconological study, the author demonstrates the invalidity of the current interpretation of the relief on the so-called Peleus and Thetis sarcophagus in the Villa Albani in Rome, an interpretation which goes back to Winckelmann. By applying a modern art-historical method, he arives at a fundamentally new interpretation. It becomes clear that the splendid sarcophagus in the Villa Albani is highly characteristic of ‘academic’ art of the Hadrianic era. The unique nature of the representation on the Albani sarcophagus, which consists mainly of allegorical figures, makes it an excellent point of entry for the interpretation of mythological scenes applied in a funerary context.

ANCIENT ATHENIAN MARITIME COURTS
233 pages; Athens was the dominant maritime power in the West from the eighth to fourth centuries BCE. Athenian preeminence insured that its maritime law was accepted throughout the Mediterranean world. Indeed, its influence outlasted Athens and is the only area of classical Greek law that wasn't replaced entirely by Roman models. Codified during the Roman period in the Rhodian Sea laws, it went on to influence the subsequent development of European commercial and maritime law. Cohen explores the development of Athenian maritime law, the jurisdiction and procedure of the courts and the Athenian principles that have endured to the present day.

EURIPIDES AND THE POETICS OF NOSTALGIA
0.94 x 9.06 x 6.69 Inches; 278 pages; Branded by critics from Aristophanes to Nietzsche as sophistic, iconoclastic, and sensationalistic, Euripides has long been held responsible for the demise of Greek tragedy. Despite this reputation, his drama has a fundamentally conservative character. It conveys nostalgia for an idealized age that still respected the gods and traditional codes of conduct. Using deconstructionist and feminist theory, this book investigates the theme of the lost voice of truth and justice in four Euripidean tragedies. The plays' unstable mix of longing for a transcendent voice of truth and skeptical analysis not only epitomizes the discursive practice of Euripides' era but also speaks to our postmodern condition. The book sheds new light on the source of the playwright's tragic power and enduring appeal, revealing the surprising relevance of his works for our own day.

THE CHORUSES OF SOPHOKLES' ANTIGONE AND PHILOKTETES Dance of Words
Unwrapped in Plastic. ; Mnemosyne, Supplements. Monographs on Greek and Roman Language and Literature; 0.6 x 9.7 x 6.4 Inches; 146 pages; Dance of Words argues for a fundamental difference in the modes of expression of actor and chorus. The chorus views the action from the perspective of dancers and singers, while the actors' understanding is shaped by the responsibility they have to make things happen. While this responsibility fashions the actors' considerations of cause and effect, linear movement through time and space, and a sense of history, the chorus' sensibilities arise out of the rhythms of its song and movements. Its mode of expression is a particular way of communicating and elaborating on man's place in the larger order, and its view of the action is bounded by the way that song and dance mirror that order.
