2015rif. 200603In English. Soft cover 29 cm 248 pp. ill. ISBN: 978-960-6878-91-6. Gerald Cadogan's contributions to the archaeology of the East Mediterranean are directly related to the two great Islands Crete and Cyprus where he has directed excavations at Myrtos – Pyrgos and Maroni – Vournes respectively. This volume comprising mostly Cretan and Cypriot studies is offered by an array of scholars who have been taught or examined by Cadogan or who have collaborated with him in the field or excavation workrooms over the last fifty years. More than thirty short papers reflect Cadogan's wide range of interests from interpreting excavation data – architecture stratigraphy pottery and small finds – to matters of prehistoric chronology ethnography and gender technology environment and osteology mythology and iconography religion and death. The collection is a fascinating testament to the continuing achievements of one of the finest archaeologists of the region. Kapon paperback

1992The ancient Athenians were "quarrelsome as friends, treacherous as neighbors, brutal as masters, faithless as servants, shallow as lovers--all of which was in part redeemed by their intelligence and creativity." Thus writes Philip Slater in this classic work on narcissism and family relationships in fifth-century Athenian society. Exploring a rich corpus of Greek mythology and drama, he argues that the personalities and social behavior of the gods were neurotic, and that their neurotic conditions must have mirrored the family life of the people who perpetuated their myths. The author traces the issue of narcissism to mother-son relationships, focusing primarily on the literary representation of Hera and the male gods and showing how it related to devalued women raising boys in an ambitious society dominated by men. "The role of homosexuality in society, fatherless families, working mothers, women's status, and violence, male pride, and male bonding--all these find their place in Slater's analysis, so honestly and carefully addressed that we see our own societal dilemmas reflected in archaic mythic narratives all the more clearly." 513p. bibliography. index.
