1995"An aged prophetess at Delphi, the most sacred oracle in ancient Greece, looks back over her strange life as the Pythia, the First Lady and voice of the god Apollo. As a young virgin with disturbing psychic powers, Arieka was handed over to the service of the shrine by her parents. She has now spent sixty years as the very medium, the torn mouthpiece, of equivocal mantic utterances from the bronze tripod in the sanctuary beneath the temple. Over a lifetime at the mercy of god and priest and people she has watched the decay of Delphi's fortunes and its influence in the world. Her reflections on the mysteries of the oracle, which her own weird gifts h av e em bo di ed , a re matched by her feminine insight into the human frailties of the High Priest himself, a true Athenian, whose intriguing against the Romans brings about humiliation and disaster. This extraordinary short novel, left in draft after the author's sudden death in 1993, is a psychological and historical triumph. An absolutely convincing portrait of a woman's experience, something rare in Golding's oeuvre, Arieka the Pythia is one of his finest creations." Name of owner, else fine. Book

2006If students are to "do" history, as opposed to "reading" it, they must learn how to engage with historical sources. This book introduces students to the chief disciplines, methods, and sources employed in "doing" ancient history. It gives them a sense of the nature of evidence and its use in the reconstruction of the past, helping them to read a historical narrative with more critical appreciation; and it encourages them to consider the differences between their own academic experience of ancient sources books, inscriptions, coins, and the like and the use of these same objects within the everyday life of ancient society. The author writes clearly, concisely, and concretely, invoking ancient illustrations and modern parallels as appropriate.174p. bubliographies , index. Book

2008Greece is a country whose heritage spans the world. Its thinkers, architects, politicians, athletes, writers, and artists all played their part in creating the world we know today. Lying in a key strategic position between Europe, Asia, and Africa, Greece is commonly regarded as the cradle of western civilization and its cultural heritage was also of considerable influence in the history of North Africa and the Middle East. Fragments of this civilization can be found all over the world, not just in the ruins and museums of the Mediterranean countries, but also in neoclassical buildings, in art and sculpture, in the thought and institutions of world democracies.256 illus index Book

1974Mythology is common to all cultures, and every attempt to trace the pattern of human development has to take it into account. It is the expression of humanity's early efforts to find an explanation for the world they lived in, for the forces that governed their life--and their need to ascribe to them the good or evil things that befell them. When man gave names to these forces he started on the path that led to the formalizing of belief, and so to religion...Here is the world's mythology presented in a highly attractive form, introduced by Jacquetta Hawkes, the celebrated anthropologist and archaeologist, and illustrated with reproductions of paintings, sculptures, textiles and books. This is an ideal introduction to a fascinating world which contains the explanation of so much of man's behavior, his fears, his superstitions and taboos, many of which, while seeming recent in time, are as old as man himself. 350p.ills.
