1992rif. 10031Cambridge University Press. Fine. Softcover. The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages . 1992. 0521421640 .

1993rif. 8744Princeton University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Minor shelfwear to DJ else Fine.; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 324 pages; From household gossip to public beatings this social history explores the many channels through which Athenians maintained public order. Virginia Hunter draws mostly on Attic court proceedings which allowed for a wide range of evidence including common rumors about a defendant's character and testimony obtained under torture of slaves against their masters. She describes Athenian "policing" as a form of social control that took place across a range of private and public levels. Not only does policing appear to have been a collective enterprise but its methods were embedded in a variety of social institutions resulting in the blurring of the line between state and society. Hunter's inquiry into topics such as household authority disputes among kin the presence of slaves in the house gossip in the home and neighborhood and forms of public punishment reveals a continuum extending from self-regulation among kin to punitive actions enforced by the state. Recognizing the bias of legal documents toward the wealthy Hunter concentrates on exposing the voices of the less powerful and less privileged members of society including women and slaves. In so doing she is among the first to address systematically such important issues as the authority of women self-help and corporal punishment. . 1993. 0691032688 .

1994rif. 8770Routledge / Classical Press of Wales. Fine with no dust jacket. Hardcover. 408 pages; The past 20 years have witnessed a revival of interest in the study of Sparta. The early 20th-century images of Spartans as hearty good fellows or scarlet-cloaked automata have been superceded by more complex scholarly interpretations of this obscure civilization. The mystery surrounding Sparta has been instrumental in shaping scholarship on the subject. Historians have taken as much interest in the myths and disinformation attached to Sparta as they have in the truth about their city-state. The studies in this volume provide insights into the traditional question of what actually happened at Sparta. Yet the implications of this work go far beyond Laconia to focus on some of the most studied of Greek writers showing how Athenians defined the achievement or the failure of their own city. . 1994. 0415104130 .

Minor shelfwear to DJ.; 233 pages; Athens was the dominant maritime power in the West from the eighth to fourth centuries BCE. Athenian preeminence insured that its maritime law was accepted throughout the Mediterranean world. Indeed its influence outlasted Athens and is the only area of classical Greek law that wasn't replaced entirely by Roman models. Codified during the Roman period in the Rhodian Sea laws it went on to influence the subsequent development of European commercial and maritime law. Cohen explores the development of Athenian maritime law the jurisdiction and procedure of the courts and the Athenian principles that have endured to the present day. . 1973. 0691092273 .

Very light shelfwear else Fine.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage Pawb Band 34; 532 pages; English summary: The ability to translate the inner world of ideas into image displays is one of the original human characteristics. The figments of imagination translated into the communicative sphere as images represent not only external forms but also memories conveyed fears hopes or other emotions. This is especially true as it pertains to religion. But what image of God did the majority of Greeks of the ancient world hold and what were their godly images The book by Peter Eich focuses on the prevailing ideas that religious image production held in Greece as well as on the community-building function of religious images over the course of time. Contemporary testimonies are fully investigated and reinterpreted in their idiom and their contexts of meaning. German text. German description: Die Fahigkeit die innere Vorstellungswelt in Bilddarstellungen umzusetzen gehort zu den ursprunglichen menschlichen Eigenschaften. Die aus der Vorstellung in die kommunikative Sphare ubersetzten Bilder reproduzieren nicht nur aussere Formen sondern verankern auch Erinnerungen oder transportieren Angste Hoffnungen oder andere Emotionen. Dies gilt besonders auf dem Gebiet der Religion. Doch welches Gottesbild hatte die Mehrheit der Griechen der Antike und was waren Gotterbilder fur sieDas Buch von Peter Eich konzentriert sich auf die in Hellas vorherrschenden Vorstellungen die die religiose Bildproduktion bedingten und die gemeinschaftsstiftende Funktion sakraler Bilder im Wandel der Zeit. Dazu werden die Aussagen der Zeitgenossen in ihrem Idiom und in ihren Sinnzusammenhangen umfassend untersucht und mit Hilfe eines verbreiterten Methodenkanons neu gedeutet. . 2011. 3515098550 .

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
