‎XENOPHOBIE - PHILOXENIE Vom Umgang Mit Fremden in Der Antike‎

‎Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage (PAwB) Band 7 ; 276 pages; Seit Urzeiten erfordert die Begegnung mit Fremden, insbesondere die Aufnahme von Fremden in die eigene Gesellschaft oder in das eigene Haus groae Aufmerksamkeit und Umsicht. Nie ist das Fremde etwas Beilaufiges. Immer hat es den Charakter des Besonderen. Wie war in den alten Gesellschaften der Kelten, der Agypter, der Griechen und der Romer der Umgang mit Fremden geregelt? Stand eher die Angst, die Xenophobie, im Vordergrund oder lasst sich ein bereits ritualisiertes Vertrautsein mit Jedermann, die Philoxenie, als Konstante nachweisen? Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen sind diesen Fragen nachgegangen: der Vor- und Fruhgeschichte (R. Echt), der Keltologie (H. Tristram), der Agyptologie (J. Zeidler), der Archaologie (B. Babler), der Klassischen Philologie (H.-G. Nesselrath, P. Riemer, K. Schopsdau, K. Sier, B. Zimmermann), der Alten Geschichte (M. Dreher, H. Freis), der padagogischen Anthropologie (Chr. Luth), der Theologie (U. Riemer) und der Religionswissenschaft (J. Scheid).‎

‎DIMENSIONE RETORICA E REALTÀ POLITICA Dione Di Prusa Nelle Orazioni III, V, VII, VIII‎

‎Text in italian; Spudasmata Band 115; 280 pages; Dion of Prusa is one of the most important sources for the history of literature and rhetoric in the early Roman empire. He was not only Trajan’s political advisor, but also provided us with an important theoretical study on the political rhetoric of the period: the different forms of government, the dialectic of monarchy and tyranny, social harmony, Greek loyalty to the Romans, and the position of the intellectual in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. This book examines the connections between rhetoric, sophistics, politics and ethics in one of Dion of Prusa’s most famous speeches. The historical background, the literary context and significant aspects of the reception of Dion’s ideas and suggestions are illuminated, and major modern scholarly opinions are discussed and often disproved. The author always keeps the analysis and various interpretations of the text in the central focus of a critical reading. This gives the work its interest for philologists and historians in the field of the history of ancient rhetoric and the second sophistic as well as of Graeco-Roman society in the first two centuries of our era.‎

‎HELLENISTIC HISTORY AND CULTURE‎

‎Top of spine is lightly bumped. Back corner of wraps is creased. ; Hellenistic Culture & Society , No 9; 0.9 x 8.8 x 6 Inches; 293 pages; In a 1988 conference, American and British scholars unexpectedly discovered that their ideas were converging in ways that formed a new picture of the variegated Hellenistic mosaic. That picture emerges in these essays and eloquently displays the breadth of modern interest in the Hellenistic Age. A distrust of all ideologies has altered old views of ancient political structures, and feminism has also changed earlier assessments. The current emphasis on multiculturalism has consciously deemphasized the Western, Greco-Roman tradition, and Nubians, Bactrians, and other subject peoples of the time are receiving attention in their own right, not just as recipients of Greco-Roman culture. History, like Herakleitos' river, never stands still. These essays share a collective sense of discovery and a sparking of new ideas--they are a welcome beginning to the reexploration of a fascinatingly complex age.‎

‎THE ROMAN NEAR EAST 31 BC - AD 337‎

‎Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing with small chip to heel of spine. Minor shelfwear to book. ; Carl Newell Jackson Lectures; 9.5 x 1.5 x 6.75 Inches; 624 pages; From Augustus to Constantine, the Roman Empire in the Near East expanded step by step, southward to the Red Sea and eastward across the Euphrates to the Tigris. In a remarkable work of interpretive history, Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria, Judaea, Arabia, and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples, religions, and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop, Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control, he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities, bringing out the different strands of culture, communal identity, language, and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism, early Christianity, and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world, distilling a vast amount of literary, documentary, artistic, and archaeological evidence--always reflecting new findings--this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East.‎

‎HELLENISTIC POETRY‎

‎Very light creasing to bottom edge of DJ. Light shelfwear and rubbing to DJ. ; Special Edition for Sandpiper books -- reprint of 1988 edition. In this study of the Hellenistic poets of the third century B. C. Hutchinson provides a much-needed picture of the poetry of the period while demonstrating its quality and vitality. The work of the Hellenistic poets in the third century BC has not only an important place in Greek literature, but also a particular significance for Latin poetry. Hutchinson explores the works of such writers as Theocritus, Callimachus, and Apollonius of Rhodes--developing a generalconception of poetry that centers around the poets' handling of tone, level, and form--and offers a fresh analysis of the influence of Hellenistic poetry on the city of Rome. Despite much technical work on the texts and language of these authors - Theocritus, Callimachus, Apollonius Rhodius, and others - previous literary criticism on most of the major figures is limited in quantity and scope. He explores the work of the individual writers in turn, while developing a general conception of the poetry as a whole, centred around the poets' handling of tone, level, and form. The book concludes with a fresh approach to the influence of Hellenistic poets in Rome. All quotations in Greek or Latin have been translated by the author. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 392 pages‎

‎DITHYRAMB TRAGEDY AND COMEDY‎

‎Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor bump to top corner. ; Sandpiper reprint of 1927 edition. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 346 pages; One of the major scholars of the 1920s and 30s concerned with the origins of Greek drama, Sir Arthur Pickard-Cambridge focused in particular on the evidence derived from archaeological finds and papyri. He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb, and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb, and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes.‎

‎Shackleton Bailey, D. R.‎

‎PROFILE OF HORACE‎

‎Dustjacket spine shows discoloration. Light shelfwear. Former owner's name on ffep. ; In this concise analysis, written with elegant wit, the greatest living textual critic of Latin authors offers new insight into the poetry of Horace. Horace is best known for his four books of Odes, cherished for their lyric grace. His amiable persona is displayed more intimately in the moralizing verses of the Satires and Epistles. In a reading of all the poetry, but focusing especially on problematic areas, Shackleton Bailey examines Horace's art of self-presentation. A variety of themes are elucidated, from the poet's relations with his patron to Roman sexual attitudes. Close scrutiny is given to about thirty passages which, he argues, have been misread. An appended essay on a notable predecessor, the textual scholar Richard Bentley, is especially revealing on the art of classical scholarship. ; Classical Life and Letters; 0.67 x 8.81 x 5.68 Inches; 142 pages‎
