1994rif. 38856Princeton University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Light shelfwear to book and DJ.; 280 pages; Covering material as diverse as curse tablets coins tattoos and legal decrees Deborah Steiner explores the reception of writing in archaic and classical Greece. She moves beyond questions concerning ancient literacy and the origins of the Greek alphabet to examine representations of writing in the myths and imaginative literature of the period. Maintaining that the Greek alphabet was not seen purely as a means of transcribing and preserving the spoken word the author investigates parallels between writing and other signifiers such as omens tokens and talismans; the role of inscription in religious rites including cursing oath-taking and dedication; and perceptions of how writing functioned both in autocracies and democracies. Particularly innovative is the suggestion that fifth-century Greek historians and dramatists portrayed writing as an essential tool of tyrants who not only issue written decrees but also "inscribe" human bodies with brands and cut up land with compasses and rules. The despotic overtones associated with writing inform discussion of its function in democracies. Although writing could promote equal justice ancient sources also linked this activity with historical and mythical figures who opposed the populist regime. By examining this highly nuanced portrayal of writing Steiner offers a new perspective on ancient views of written law and its role in 5th-century Athenian democracy. . 1994. 0691032386 .

1987rif. 37250Croom Helm. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Hardcover. Light Bmp to head of spine. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Else Minor shelfwear. DJ has minor shelfwear.; Interpretations of Greek Mythology first published in1987 builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the ‘Paris school’ of Jean-Pierre Vernant and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes – Oedipus Orpheus Narcissus – reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth.; 294 pages; The volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. The book's organizing theme is a recurrent Greek dialectic between ideas of poetry as on the one hand a powerfully enthralling experience in its own right a kind of 'ecstasy' and on the other a medium for the expression of truths which can exercise lasting influence on its audiences' views of the world. Citing a wide range of modern scholarship and making frequent connections with later periods of literary theory and aesthetics Halliwell questions many orthodoxies and received opinions about the texts analysed. The resulting perspective casts new light on ways in which the Greeks attempted to make sense of the psychology of poetic experience - including the roles of emotion ethics imagination and knowledge - in the life of their culture . 1987. 0709932707 .
