1990Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; Two more books of military history written for general audiences. Strauss and Ober discuss strategic failure in the classical world in terms of defeated generals and political leaders from Xerxes of Persia to Julian the Apostate. These losers share a common incapacity to consider and overcome unexamined assumptions about themselves and their enemies, say the authors. But the authors go on to defend good decision-making in relentlessly Clausewitzian terms that overlook the essential differences between the state systems of 19th-century Europe and the ancient Mediterranean. Such presentmindedness is unlikely to liberate the study of ancient history from its specialist ghetto. Karl proposes to describe situations from Thermopylae to Dien Bien Phu in which "an elite unit of soldiers stands to the last men with little hope of victory. " His definition of "elite" is extremely broad. The mixed bag of Germans and other Europeans that defended Berlin in 1945 hardly qualifies as an elite in the sense of the Theban Sacred Band. Moreover, instead of concentrating on the composition, motivation, and behavior of these doomed units, Karl writes generalized campaign history, with the last stand itself sometimes dismissed in a few paragraphs. The Anatomy of Error is flawed by a restrictive analytic structure; Glorious Defiance fails to progress beyond descriptive narrative. Neither can be recommended except as supplements for large collections. ; 8.5 x 1 x 5.75 Inches; 272 pages

1997Some scuffing to textblock and front wrap. Tiny crease to lower corner of wraps. Else minor shelfwear. ; Xv, 283pp. Father-son conflict was for the Athenians a topic of widespread interest that touched the core of both family and political life, particularly during times of social upheaval. In this vivid account of the intermingling of politics and the private sphere in classical Athens, Barry Strauss explores the tensions experienced by a society that cherished both youthful independence and paternal authority. He examines father-son relations within the Athenian family and the way these relations were represented in a wide variety of political and literary texts. His inquiry reveals that representations of patricide, father beating, and son murdering did not necessarily coincide with actual instances but rather served as metaphors for intergenerational tensions fueled by democracy, the sophists, and the Peloponnesian War. ; 283 pages

2005On a late September day in 480 B.C., Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred, the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history -- halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens.In this dramatic new narrative account, historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles, Athens' great leader (and admiral of its fleet), who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes, the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus, the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia, the only woman commander known from antiquity, who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights, sounds, and scent of battle, The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history. Book

1782In 4°, pp. (2), VIII, 263, (1). Legatura alle armi in pieno marocchino, titolo al dorso, tagli rossi. Le dodici tavole di cui si parla sono la prima codificazione scritta del diritto romano, la cui redazione risale alla metà del V secolo a.C. Questo corpus deriva dai “mores”, cioè l’insieme di leggi che avevano fino allora codificazione orale. Secondo Tito Livio e altre fonti antiche, allo scopo di produrre le dodici tavole, il Senato romano inviò in Grecia una delegazione di ambasciatori per studiare le leggi di Atene e di altre città. Le tavole, non si sa di quale materiale, sarebbero state affisse nel Foro e distrutte nel sacco di Roma del 390 a.C. All’epoca della dissertazione di Stramigioli, abate pesarese, sulla scia delle obiezioni di Vico e della riflessione sul diritto romano apertasi nel XVIII secolo, si era aperto un dibattito secondo il quale i Romani non avrebbero fatto questa spedizione: fra i sostenitori di questa ipotesi troviamo Francesco Maria Ganassoni, al quale lo Stramigioli si rivolge direttamente nelle prime tre sue dissertazioni. Curiosa e originale la quarta dissertazione, nella quale si affronta il tema della nautica e della capacità romana di navigare in epoca romana. Alle sette dissertazioni sulle XII tavole se ne aggiunge un’ottava (“sopra le correnti gramatiche della lingua latina”) in cui l’autore contesta il metodo corrente per insegnare “a’ fanciulli detta lingua col mezzo delle medesime”. 2 According to some studies, the XII plates, i.e. the oldest written codification in Roman law, couldn’t have a Greek source. Stramigioli strongly sustains, in this work, that a Roman delegation was on the contrary sent to Athens, to put together this code. In the fourth dissertation the author address the issue to the Roman ability to sail (and so going to Greece).
