2015rif. 35310Oxbow Books. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. Slight waviness to endpapers.; This is an exciting time to study in Athens. The “rescue” excavations of recent years conducted during construction of the Metro system and in preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games combined with major restoration projects and a new enthusiasm for fresh examination of old material using new techniques and applications brings new perspectives and answers on many aspects of the ancient city of Athens and life politics and religion in Attica. The 15 papers presented here contribute new findings that result from intensive first-hand examinations of the archaeological and epigraphical evidence. They illustrate how much may be gained by re-examining material from older excavations and from the methodological shift from documenting information to closer analysis and larger historical reflection. They offer a variety of perspectives on a range of issues: the ambience of the ancient city for passers-by filled with roadside shrines; techniques of architectural construction and sculpting; religious expression in Athens including cults of Asklepios and Serapis; the precise procedures for Greek sacrifice; how the borders of Attica were defined over time and details of its road-system. In presenting this volume the contributors are continuing in a long tradition of autopsy – in the sense of 'personal observation' – in Athens that began even in the Hellenistic period and has continued through the writings of centuries of travellers and academics to the present day.; 11.3 X 8.8 X 0.7 inches; 224 pages . 2015. 1782978569 .

1998rif. 35340Princeton University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Book is fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; Explores the nature of the Greek household "oikos" in classical Athens. Whereas the "oikos" traditionally has been defined as the household of the nuclear family in Greece this text argues that it had a more fluid structure taking care to distinguish between the concepts of "household" and "family". The legal basis of the typical elite household emerges in the description of marriage patterns or strategies among the families represented in Attic orations and funeral inscriptions. Property interests were a strong motivating force with the elite marrying within their kin primariliy thorugh paternal lines in which property was transferred. The author argues that the household was not limited to "family" or kinspeople. Friends neighbours concubines or prostitutes and slaves also shared in property interests and all could have a profound influence on the household.; 253 pages . 1998. 0691015724 .

1992rif. 34973Cambridge University Press. Very Good. Softcover. Scholar's initial to inner cover Jenifer Neils.; 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 .

Light shelfwear to DJ.; 345 pages; It is a commonplace of modern scholarship that the Athenians hated and despised the Persians but the claims of contempt are disproved by the evidence of archaeology epigraphy iconography and literature all of which reveal some facet of Athenian receptivity to Achaemenid Persian culture. The Athenian response was as richly complex as the spheres of interaction: both private and public elite and sub-elite. It appears in pot shapes clothing luxurious display and monumental architecture. This innovative study the first comprehensive collection of evidence pertaining to the relations between Athens and Persia in the fifth century BC aims to make this evidence better known and in so doing to argue that the social culture of classical Athens was not the monolithic construct it might appear . 1997. 0521495989 .

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. . 1996. 0198149794 .
