GELA The Ancient Greeks in Sicily
Very minor shelfwear to book. Dustjacket has some tears and chipping; The ancient Greeks attempted to dominate the whole Mediterranean basin, and thus invaded Sicily during the 8th century BC, and from various parts of the homeland, they eventually founded Gela (ca. 693 BC) on the south shore, where it prospered and grew as one of the principal Greek centers in Sicily until its eventual defeat and destruction around 280 BC. Over 150 plates, 56 in colour, this book is intended for the general reader, the traveler, and also the specialist in things Greek and Sicilian. ; 224 pages

THE POISON KING The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome's Deadliest Enemy
Very minor shelfwear. ; The Poison King describes a life brimming with spectacle and excitement. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals. ; 448 pages

Ridgway, David
THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
Scholar's initial to inner cover (Jenifer Neils). ; The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation, from 1952 onwards, of the first Greek establishment in the West, Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early, and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore, the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there, which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery, the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages

Neer, Richard T.
STYLE AND POLITICS IN ATHENIAN VASE-PAINTING The Craft of Democracy, Circa 530–470 Bce
Minor pencil underlining and notes by Jenifer Neils to a few pages [for a review by Neils]. Else book has minor shelfwear with a couple of rounded corners. Minor creasing along top edge of DJ. ; The pictures on Athenian vases of the late Archaic period often play upon the tension between an image and its material support, and between the sense of depth and the sense of surface. Richard Neer's study tracks design and imagery on Athenian vases in four domains: the symposium, with its elaborate riddles and poems; the development of 'naturalistic' techniques, such as foreshortening and shading; the birth of self-portraiture at the end of the sixth century; and the treatment of overtly political subject-matter in the early democracy. In each case, formal ambiguity provided vase painters and their audiences with a means of creating new conceptions of civic identity. Focusing on 'how pictures show what they show' leads the author to a re-examination of basic ideas about Greek art and its history, with particular regard to naturalism, realism, allegory, and the relation of ceramics to social life. ; Cambridge Studies In Classical Art And Iconography; 9.9 X 7.1 X 0.8 inches; 328 pages

Sartre, Maurice
HISTOIRES GRECQUES Snapshots from Antiquity
Very faint shelfwear. ; In a series of brilliant snapshots, each a distinct bit of a larger story, Maurice Sartre’s Histoires Grecques spans the grand narrative of Greek culture over a thousand years and a vast expanse of land and sea. From Homer to Damascius, from recent discoveries in Kandahar to an account of the murder of Hypatia in 415 CE, each snapshot captures a moment in the history of Greek civilization. Together they offer a fresh perspective on an ancient culture whose wealth and depth of thought, variety and multiplicity of accomplishments, and astonishing continuity through time and space have made it the Western world’s culture of reference. A textual fragment, a coin, an epigraph: each artifact and image launches Sartre-and his readers-on a journey into the practical mysteries of Greek civilization. Ranging from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean world, these excursions-step by step, moment by moment-finally amount to a panoramic vision of one of the most important civilizations of all time. Histoires Grecques shows the newcomer and the seasoned scholar alike how history itself is written-and imparts the experience, and the pleasure, of discovering history as discrete stories seen through the eyes of one of the most eminent historians of ancient Greece. ; Revealing Antiquity; 9.3 X 6.2 X 1.5 inches; 448 pages

Its central purpose is a critical assessment of the character and extent of citizens' participation in the running of the democracy.

THE NEW POLITICIANS OF FIFTH-CENTURY ATHENS
Light shelfwear to book. DJ has light chipping. DJ a bit yellowed. DJ is price-clipped. ; 218 pages; After the death of Pericles, a new breed of politicians--men like Cleon, Cleophon, and Hyperbolus--came to power in Athens. Rejecting the traditional source of political support, the bonds of friendship (philia) , in favor of direct appeals to the people (demos) , they signaled the emergence of a new pattern of politics. The author traces the development of this new pattern--often misunderstood, often branded "demagogy" by both ancient and modern writers--by investigating the nature of political and social organization in Athens and the vocabulary of Greek politics.

LAW, SEXUALITY, AND SOCIETY The Enforcement of Morals in Classical Athens
Underlining in pencil to a few pages. Minor shelfwear. ; Centering on the examination of the social and legal context of adultery, homosexuality, impiety, and the public-private dichotomy in Athenian society, this book attempts to examine the problems of social control and the regulation of sexuality in a way that will be of interest to a broad readership. It uses a comparative approach to show how the examination of such issues can deepen our understanding of classical Athens, particularly in regard to the role of law in society. Further, it argues that this historical investigation can, in turn, enrich our general appreciation of the relation of social and legal norms, and the roles they play in regulating complex social practices such as those associated with sexuality, morals, and the family. This illuminating book develops a view of classical Athenian society that emphasizes the study of social control as the dynamic interplay of legal and social norms within the context of ideology and practice. ; 0.87 x 9.33 x 6.22 Inches; 271 pages

Garrison, Daniel H.
SEXUAL CULTURE IN ANCIENT GREECE
Pencilling and a few notes in pencil by Jenifer Neils. DJ has long scratch to front panel and chipping to extremities. Includes letter from Wolfgang Haase tipped in with handwriting by him requesting a book review from Neils. ; Erotic sensibility pervaded the art, literature, and social mores of the ancient Greeks. Early religious figurines emphasize sexual features, and written documents confirm that the people worshiped deities with strong sexual characteristics. Out of this background came a distinctively Greek sexual culture--guilt-free, graphically frank, and uninhibited by taboos that became entrenched in the Middle Ages. Illustrated with art from the earliest agricultural periods as well as from the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman eras, SEXUAL CULTURE OF ANCIENT GREECE presents nine successive stages of Greek sexual culture. Daniel H. Garrison uses well-known passages from Biblical, Near Eastern, and Greek literature to show the centrality of sexual culture in the civilizations of the area, particularly as they reflect the traditions passed on to the Western world. The only comprehensive overview of Greek sexual culture, this book is a valuable guide to the origins of our complex attitudes regarding marriage, the rights of women, homosexuality, and the role of eroticism in art, religion, ethics, and literature. ; Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture; 358 pages

Henry, Madeleine Mary
PRISONER OF HISTORY Aspasia of Miletus and Her Biographical Tradition
DJ has light shelfwear; 0.75 x 8.84 x 5.8 Inches; 208 pages; According to legend, Aspasia of Miletus was a courtesan, the teacher of Socrates, and the political adviser of her lover Pericles. Next to Sappho and Cleopatra, she is the best known woman of the ancient Mediterranean. Yet continued uncritical reception of her depiction in Attic comedy and naive acceptance of Plutarch's account of her in his Life of Pericles prevent us from understanding who she was and what her contributions to Greek thought may have been. Madeleine Henry combines traditional philological and historical methods of analysis with feminist critical perspectives, in order to trace the construction of Aspasia's biographical tradition from ancient times to the present. Through her analysis of both literary and political evidence, Henry determines the ways in which Aspasia has become an icon of the sexually attractive and politically influential female, how this construction has prevented her from taking her rightful place as a contributor to the philosophical enterprise, and how continued belief in this icon has helped sexualize all women's intellectual achievements. This is the first work to study Aspasia's biographical tradition from ancient Greece to the present day.

Bumping to 1 corner of book. DJ has light shelfwear. ; 11.5 x 1.5 x 9 Inches; 564 pages; In this volume of original essays, thirty-four leading experts in Homeric studies and related fields provide up-to-date, multidisciplinary accounts of the most current issues in the study of Homer. The book is divided into three sections. The first section treats the Bronze Age setting of the poems (around 1200 B. C. ) , using archaeological evidence to reveal how poetic memory preserves, distorts, and invents the past. The second section explores the early Iron Age, in which the poems were written (c. 800-500 B. C. ) , using the strategies of comparative philology and mythology, literary theory, historical linguistics, anthropology, and iconography to determine how the poems took shape. The final section traces the use of Homer for literary and artistic inspiration by classical Greece and Rome. Original black cloth binding, with bronze titles.
