Ridgway, David
THE FIRST WESTERN GREEKS
Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Minor creasing lower corner of DJ. ; 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

RED FIGURE VASES OF SOUTH ITALY AND SICILY A Handbook
Dustjacket has laminate lifting along edges. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Minor shelfwear to book. ; 288 pages; The red figure vases produced by the Greek colonists in South Italy and Sicily in the later fifth and the fourth centuries BC were at first closely modeled on Athenian prototypes. But they quickly evolved, exhibiting the highly individual styles and characteristics that are explored in this fascinating study. The red figure vases of the period are not only immensely pleasing as works of art, but of great interest and importance for the light they shed on mythology and drama, local customs and the relations between the Greek settlers and the native inhabitants. Close to 600 illustrations reproduce a wide selection of the more significant vases which are elaborately decorated with exuberant floral pattern-work and multi-figured compositions. 596 illustrations

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
