1996réf. 1767J. C. Gieben. Fine with no dust jacket. Hardcover. Unwrapped in Plastic.; Amsterdam Studies in Classical Philology; 154 pages; Although it is widely recognised that Solon’s thoughts on human life 1.30-32 are important to a correct understanding of Herodotus’ work little attention has been given to their narratological meaning. On the basis of a careful interpretation of five episodes this monograph argues that Solon’s advice ‘look to the end’ establishes the viewpoint from which Herodotus’ stories are to be understood. This viewpoint leads to surprising conclusions as to what is and is not important to the development of history. It casts doubts especially on the magnificent role of Athens and its democracy. . 1996. 9050632963 . J. C. Gieben hardcover
1976réf. 1902Georg Olms Hildesheim. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket.; Reprint of the 2nd edition; Anglistica & Americana; 1735. Blackwell a Scottish classical scholar first published this work anonymously. The work was intended to explain the causes of the superiority of Homer to all the poets who preceded or followed him. It shows considerable research and contains many curious and interesting details but its want of method made Bentley say that when he had gone through half of it he had forgotten the beginning and when he had finished the reading of it he had forgotten the whole. . 1976. 3487060027 .

1999réf. 1908Oxford University Press. Fine. Softcover. National University Series; 0.87 x 9.06 x 6.14 Inches; 400 pages; The family continues to be seen as a central institution in Roman as well as modern Western society. The Roman family is often used as a stereotype sometimes of severity sometimes of decadence with its decline often cited as a cause of wider decline and fall. Definitions and concepts continue to be modified and nuanced however as the availability of new evidence and new methodologies make possible a much less simplistic picture. In this volume the study of family draws on a wide range of disciplines to develop the intertwined themes of status sentiment and space. For example on status there are contributions about Junian Latins and a survey of senators' monuments while sentiment is represented by a gloomy but convincing picture of old age and a paper on the sentimental ideal which argues that conflict as well as concord is a feature of family life. Space is represented among others by the contribution on who commemorates whom in Roman Italy pointing up the regional variations in custom and the difficulties in tracing complete families. The final contributions focus on the house: how people lived in the Roman house the use of rooms and the artefacts that might indicate this use. The book makes use of many types of evidence from the legal and literary to the iconographical and archaeological. Visual and material evidence play an important role in reconstructing real lives in considerable colour and variety. The book moves beyond the city of Rome to the rest of Roman Italy and even into the provinces just as Roman culture moved outwards and mingled with other cultures. Chronologically too there are new directions towards the later Empire and Christianity. So although the contributors do not abandon any of the territory already gained in Rome nor literary and epigraphical sources nor the late Republic or early Empire there is an exciting sense of new discovery. . 1999. 0198152833 .

Dustjacket has small abrasion along the spine which has rubbed the colour off else NF; This book explores for the first time an idea common to both Plato and Aristotle: although people are separate their lives need not be; one person's life may overflow into another's so that helping someone else is a way of serving oneself. Price considers how this idea unites the philosophers' treatments of love and friendship which are otherwise very different and demonstrates that this view of love and friendship applied not only to personal relationships but also to the household and even the city-state promises to resolve the old dichotomy between egoism and altruism.; 278 pages . 1989. 0198249640 .

Light Bumping to bottom of spine.; Ancient Society and History; 1.68 x 8.76 x 8.78 Inches; 632 pages; Historians who viewed imperial Rome in terms of a conflict between pagans and Christians have often regarded the emperor Constantine's conversion as the triumph of Christianity over paganism. But in Constantine and the Bishops historian H. A. Drake offers a fresh and more nuanced understanding of Constantine's rule and especially of his relations with Christians. Constantine Drake suggests was looking not only for a god in whom to believe but also a policy he could adopt. Uncovering the political motivations behind Constantine's policies Drake shows how those policies were constructed to ensure the stability of the empire and fulfill Constantine's imperial duty in securing the favor of heaven. Despite the emperor's conversion to Christianity Drake concludes Rome remained a world filled with gods and with men seeking to depose rivals from power. A book for students and scholars of ancient history and religion Constantine and the Bishops shows how Christian belief motivated and gave shape to imperial rule. . 2000. 0801862183 .

2005réf. 2029D. S. Brewer. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. A small puncture mark at the lower back joint. Ex-library copy with usual stamps and pocket though I believe this was never in circulation.; The Library of Medieval Women; 0.94 x 8.43 x 5.59 Inches; 199 pages; Christine de Pizan also seen as de Pisan 1364–1430 was a writer and analyst of the medieval era who strongly challenged the clerical misogyny and stereotypes that were prevalent in the male-dominated realm of the arts. De Pizan completed forty-one pieces during her thirty-year career 1399–1429. She earned her accolade as Europe’s first professional woman writer Redfern 74. Her success stems from a wide range of innovative writing and rhetorical techniques that critically challenged renowned male writers such as Jean de Meun who to Pizan’s dismay incorporated misogynist beliefs within their literary works. In recent decades de Pizan's work has been returned to prominence by the efforts of scholars such as Charity Cannon Willard and Earl Jeffrey Richards. Certain scholars have argued that she should be seen as an early feminist who efficiently used language to convey that women could play an important role within society although this characterisation has been challenged by other critics who claim either that it is an anachronistic use of the word or that her beliefs were not progressive enough to merit such a designation Richards 1-2. . 2005. 1843840588 .

Minor Shelfwear; The New Middle Ages; 0.7 x 8.3 x 5.5 Inches; 176 pages; Geoffrey Chaucer was not a writer primarily but a privileged official place-holder. Prone to violence including rape assault and extortion the poet was employed first at domestic personal service and subsequently at policework of various sorts protecting the established order during a period of massive social upset. Chaucer's Jobs shows that the servile and disciplinary nature of the daily work Chaucer did was repeated in his poetry which by turns flatters his aristocratic betters and deals out discipline to malcontent others. Carlson contends that it was this social and political quality of Chaucer's writings rathen than artistic merit that made him the "Father of English Poetry." . 2004. 1403966257 .
