2002rif. 8896Cambridge University Press. Very Good. Softcover. 264 pages; The warring Greek city-states of the classical period often found it advantageous to use slaves in their armed forces and to encourage rebellion or desertion among the slaves of their enemies. But since military service was highly esteemed while the state of slavery was despised classical Greek historians such as Herodotus Thucydides and Xenophon tended not to discuss slave participation in war. This book examines the actual role of slaves in war the neglect of it by historians and the reasons for this reticence. . 2002. 0521893909 . Cambridge University Press paperback

2001rif. 8371University of Michigan Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine.; 320 pages; Situated on the southwest coast of modern Turkey Miletos stood for centuries as one of the paramount cities in the Hellenic world a gateway between the East and West. It became especially famous as the most prolific mother city in Greek history sending out at least forty-five known primary and secondary settlements into the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea while at home developing into an intellectual and artistic center and one of the birthplaces of Western science and philosophy. A history of Miletos is long overdue. Despite the significance of this city in antiquity and the important results of ongoing excavations there the last full-scale discussion of Miletos was written in 1915. In Miletos the Ornament of Ionia Vanessa B. Gorman provides the first and only modern integrated history of the city collecting and scrutinizing sources about Miletos for the period stretching from the first signs of habitation until 400 B. C. E. This book reviews the archaeological evidence for the physical city demonstrates the likelihood of both Minoan and Mycenaean settlements there and substantiates the fact of the Persian destruction and refoundation of Miletos along orthogonal lines. With insight and diligence Gorman surveys the cults known to have existed during this period; traces the political progress of the city through monarchy oligarchy tyranny and democracy; and sketches the terms of its subjugation under the Persians and later the Athenians. Providing a detailed and up-to-date account of the development of one of the major urban centers of Asia Minor Gorman's book will engage classicists historians and Near Eastern specialists. . 2001. 047211199X .

1993rif. 7514University of California Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; 259 pages; The enigmatic three-mile-long Dema wall in the countryside outside ancient Athens has perplexed archaeologists and historians for decades. When was it built and what role did it play in Greek military history In a tour de force of archaeological and historical argument Mark H. Munn establishes the place of the Dema wall in the defense of Athens and offers a completely new perspective on the Boiotian War. Since no ancient reference to the wall survives scholars have contested the date and purpose of the wall's construction placing it anywhere between the Geometric Age and Hellenistic eras. While directing the excavation of a watchtower above the wall Munn's chance discovery of a datable sherd in the wall's remains fixed the date of the wall's construction at 378 B. C. the onset of the three-year Boiotian War. Munn offers an absorbing narrative account of the war and his descriptions and effective use of literary extracts render a vivid portrayal of the opposing generals military tactics and battle scenes. . 1993. 0520076850 .

2010rif. 7550American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Fine. Softcover. Hesperia Supplement No. 45; 380 pages; This work presents a classification system and absolute chronology for black-gloss wares from Crete establishing the first local and regional ceramic sequences during the period from 600 to 400 B.C. This new chronological foundation of datable pottery from excavated sites fills in the so-called 6th/5th-century gap and dispels the prevailing view that this was a period of decline in population and one of artistic and cultural impoverishment. The 6th century heralded important changes in Cretan society reflected in the reorganization of burial grounds new patterns of sanctuary dedication and the circulation of exotica among the elite. The study reveals unsuspected connections with mainland Greece especially Sparta and Athens. Historians and archaeologists will find the author's conclusions and their implications to be of considerable interest. . 2010. 0876615450 . American School of Classical Studies at Athens paperback
