1990Scholars' bookplate to inner cover (Slater & Dunbabin). Some discoloration to wraps. 1 faint crease to wraps. ; Studies in Greek and Roman Religion, Vol 6; Vol. 1; 267 pages; This is the first of a two-volume collection of studies in inconsistencies in Greek and Roman religion. Their common aim is to argue for the historical relevance of various types of ambiguity and dissonance. The first volume focuses on the central paradoxes in ancient henotheism. The term "henotheism" - a modern formation after the stereotyped acclamation: #EIS O QEOS# ("one is the god"), common to early Christianity and contemporaneous paganism - denotes the specific devotion to one particular god without denying the existence of, or even cultic attention to, other gods. After its prime in the 1920s and 1930s the term fell into disuse. Nonetheless, the notion of henotheism represents one of the most remarkable and significant shifts in Graeco-Roman religion.

DJ has minor shelfwear. ; 1 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 400 pages; Inadequately documented, ancient Greek religion can all too easily be reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains and so-called `ritual objects'. This authoritative new work attempts to bridge the gap that usually divides Greek religion from Greek history, setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary events and politics. How did people actually worship the gods? Was Socrates's trial a crisis for religion or the state, or both? These are among the key issues addressed in what promises to be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.
1986Hard Creasing to front wrap. Spine a bit sunned. Scholars' bookplate to ffep (Slater & Dunbabin). ; 320 pages; In his study of the Greek cults of the Roman emperor in Asia minor, Simon Price attempts to discover why the Roman Emperor was treated like a god. He contends that ever since the emergence of Christianity within the Roman Empire the problem has been misinterpreted; a Christianizing distinction between religion and politics has led to the cult being considered simply as a form of political honours. Drawing on anthropology as well as numismatics and archaeology, literary sources and inscriptions, Dr Price offers a fundamentally different perspective. He examines how the Greek cults of the Roman Emperor located the Emperor with their subjection to the external power of Rome. The book falls into two major parts. The first analyses the historical, social and cultural contexts of the Imperial cult, showing that the cult was deeply rooted in the Greek cities. The second focusses on the evocations of the rituals of temples, images and sacrifices. It casts light on the architechural development of Greek Cities, on cult statues in the ancient world and on the vitality and flexibility of the Greek religious system. In his concluding chapter the author draws out some of the general implications of the book; comparative material from Africa and Cambodia help our understanding of the relationship between religious ritual and political power. This book, which assumes no knowledge of Latin or Greek, will appeal to students and teachers of ancient history and archaeology. It will also attract anthropologists, historians and others interested in the interpretation of rituals and in the history of early Christianity.

2007Minor bumping. Light shelfwear to DJ and book. ; A collection of essays, by leading international scholars, on the history of the Greek theatre, and on the wider context of festival culture in which theatrical activity took place in the Greek world. The emphasis is on the documentary material - inscriptions, archaeological remains and monuments - which provides so much of our 'hard' evidence for the activities of the theatre. Much of the important material discussed here is unknown except to specialists, and these studies offer access to its interpretation to a wider audience. They cover a wide range of time and place, from the earliest days of the Greek theatre to the Roman period, with special emphasis on the neglected Hellenistic period, which is especially rich in documentary evidence. ; Oxford Studies In Ancient Documents; 8.6 X 5.7 X 1.2 inches; 400 pages

2008Creasing to upper corner of front wrap. Laminate lifting along lower edge. Crease to spine. Minor shelfwear. ; L’histoire de Délos à l’époque classique est indissociable de celle d’Athènes : depuis la fondation de la Ligue de Délos en 478, les Athéniens sont les administrateurs du sanctuaire d’Apollon délien et, si la cité de Délos se maintient au cours des Ve et IVe siècles, ce n’est que dans l’orbite d’Athènes qu’elle peut exister. L’histoire de Délos classique se laisse essentiellement appréhender par les inscriptions et plus particulièrement les actes administratifs athéniens du sanctuaire d’Apollon délien. Convergeant avec les sources littéraires et archéologiques, ces textes épigraphiques permettent de définir précisément le statut de l’île de Délos, mais également de mettre en évidence la progressive élaboration, par l’autorité athénienne, d’un système administratif, financier et économique qui, parallèlement à la construction idéologique et religieuse élaborée par Athènes dans le cadre de sa politique impérialiste, rend compte des innovations introduites en Égée au cours de la période classique. ; Bibliothèque Des Écoles Française D'Athènes Et De Rome.
