Slater Philip E.
The Glory of Hera : Greek Mythology and the Greek Family
Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press 1992 The ancient Athenians were "quarrelsome as friends treacherous as neighbors brutal as masters faithless as servants shallow as lovers--all of which was in part redeemed by their intelligence and creativity." Thus writes Philip Slater in this classic work on narcissism and family relationships in fifth-century Athenian society. Exploring a rich corpus of Greek mythology and drama he argues that the personalities and social behavior of the gods were neurotic and that their neurotic conditions must have mirrored the family life of the people who perpetuated their myths. The author traces the issue of narcissism to mother-son relationships focusing primarily on the literary representation of Hera and the male gods and showing how it related to devalued women raising boys in an ambitious society dominated by men. "The role of homosexuality in society fatherless families working mothers women's status and violence male pride and male bonding--all these find their place in Slater's analysis so honestly and carefully addressed that we see our own societal dilemmas reflected in archaic mythic narratives all the more clearly." 513p. bibliography. index. Neat tight copy but with notes and underlinings. 1st Pbk Ed. Softcover. Good. Princeton University Press unknown

Benvenisti Meron
City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem
Berkely: University of California Press 1996 Jerusalem is more than a holy city built of stone. Domain of Muslims Jews and Christians Jerusalem is a perpetual contest and its shrines housing projects and bulldozers compete in a scramble for possession. Now one of Jerusalem's most respected authorities presents a history of the city that does not fall prey to any one version of its past. Meron Benvenisti begins with a reflection on the 1996 celebration of Jerusalem's 3000-year anniversary as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. He then juxtaposes eras dynasties and rulers in ways that provide grand comparative insights. But unlike recent politically motivated histories written to justify the claims of Jews and Arabs now living in Jerusalem Benvenisti has no such agenda. His history is a polyphonic story that lacks victors as well as vanquished. He describes the triumphs and defeats of all the city's residents from those who walk its streets today to the meddlesome ghosts who linger in its shadows. Benvenisti focuses primarily on the twentieth century but ancient hatreds are constantly discovered just below the surface. These hostilities have created intense social cultural and political interactions that Benvenisti weaves into a compelling human story. For him any claim to the city means recognizing its historical diversity and multiple populations. A native son of Jerusalem Benvenisti knows the city well and his integrated history makes clear that all of Jerusalem's citizens have enriched the Holy City in the past. It is his belief that they can also do so in the future. 274p. illus.index. 1st US Edition. Hardcover. New/New. University of California Press hardcover

Powell Dilys
The Villa Ariadne
London: Hodder & Stoughton 1974 The Villa Ariadne was built at Knossos Crete by Sir Arthur Evans soon after he discovered the Minoan palace when the site was his own private property. The villa became home in turn to John Pendlebury who used it as a base for his excavations at Knossos and his explorations of the island. After Pendlebury's death at the hands of invading German paratroopers the Villa Ariadne was taken over by General Karl Kreipe who was living there when he was kidnapped by Patrick Leigh Fermor and marched across the island to captivity an episode immortalized in the film "Ill Met by Moonlight". Dilys Powell who knew Crete and the Villa Ariadne for over 40 years weaves her own memories of Evans and Pendlebury together with recollections of the Cretan people. Her classic account first published in 1973 is at once a chapter of autobiography and a portrait of a mythical island which captured her heart. It should appeal to all those who share her love for Greece and especially Crete. Reprint. Near Fine/Very Good Price Clipped. Hard Cover. Hodder & Stoughton hardcover

Allen Susan Heuck
Finding the Walls of Troy : Frank Calvert and Heinrich Schliemann at Hisarlik
Berkeley CA: University of California Press 1998 The relentlessly self-promoting amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann took full credit for discovering Homer's Troy over one hundred years ago and since then generations have thrilled to the tale of his ambitions and achievements. But Schliemann gained this status as an archaeological hero partly by deliberately eclipsing the man who had launched his career. Now at long last Susan Heuck Allen puts the record straight in this fascinating archaeological adventure that restores the British expatriate Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of Hisarlk the site now thought to be Troy as described in the Iliad. Frank Calvert had lived in the Troad--in the northwest corner of Asia Minor--excavating there for fifteen years before Schliemann arrived and learning the local topography well. 1st Pbk Ed.

KALLISTI "Most Beautiful"
Santa Barbara CA: CelebrateGreece 1996 DVD Enlgish Language No Subtitles 1996 21 Min.NTSC "This archaeological documentary artfully covers the Bronze Age origins of the Greek island of SANTORINI. Today Santorini taunts us to identify it with Plato's legendary lost island of ATLANTIS. The island's original name of KALLISTI meaning "most beautiful" was given to it by the Minoans of Crete. Befitting the name Kallisti this documentary conveys the awesome beauty that was and is Santorini.The present day excavation of the bronze age city of Akrotiri is producing extraordinary paintings or frescoes preserved within multi-storied buildings two-thousand years older than those of Pompei. Similar to Pompei Akrotiri was preserved for immortality by the largest volcanic eruption in the last 10000 years; a blast so large that it sank most of the island into the sea. It's global impact was chronicled by the Egyptians the Chinese and even the writers of the Bible. But it was Plato who wrote of the island over 1200 years after the fact giving birth to the greatest of all legends. Today Santorini is a popular tourist destination in the Aegean Sea and it remains one of the largest and most beautiful active volcanoes on earth awaiting one day to awaken us all again.".
