1991In 1952 the decipherment of the Linear B script suddenly revealed the Greekness of Mycenaean Greece. Now, after new discoveries and more than 20 years of intensive work, scholars are able to interpret the written documents and reconstruct from them a vivid picture of life in this remote period, in a way which is impossible from archaeology alone. John Chadwick, who assisted Ventris in the original decipherment, has played a major part in these advances. He now summarizes the results of research and in so doing opens the door to a new world, Mycenaean Greece seen through the eyes of its inhabitants. The tablets may be only, as he describes them, "the account books of anonymous clerks", but from these prosaic documents he shows how we can infer a bronze industry, foreign slave-women, or even human sacrifice. Not least important is the comparison of the newly available data with the Homeric account, much to the detriment of Homer"s credibility as a witness. 201p. illus. maps. bubliograohy. index Book

1985Submarine coxswain Ben Grant has a medal for his exploits in Norwegian waters earlier in the war, but this does not help him face operations in a far different theatre - the Mediterranean - or endear him to his colleagues.Strained and nerve-racked, he joins the submarine Avon en route to Torbruk in the summer of 1942.But at Malta events come to a head and he is asked to volunteer for Special Submarine Operations,a secret subversive unit.The target is occupied Greece, the mission dangerous - and the only flaw in the plan is his former skipper,Half-Shackle. In this new Ben Grant saga, Eric Collenette gives another story from the war at sea and in his taut, straightforward prose he vividly recreates those tense days of submarine warfare. Book

1998The luxury of the ancient world is legendary, but the Athenian reputation is sober because this wealthy, successful city-state spent all its money on the conspicuous consumption of ephemeral things. Their consuming passions for food, wine and sex drove their society, as well as generating the rich web of privilege, transgression, guilt and taboo for which they are remembered today. Using pamphlets, comic satires, forensic speeches - from authors as illustrious as Plato and as ignored as Philaenis - as source material - this study combines a traditional classicist's rigour with an appreciation of the new analytical techniques pioneered in gender and cultural studies to provide an alternative view of ancient Athenian culture and to bring its reality into a focus easier on the modern eye. A fascinating investigation of how ancient Athenians looked at food and women and sex..372p. plates. bibliography.index. Book
