Nomos: Essays in Athenian Law, Politics and Society
ISBN: 9780521522090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The relationship between law, politics and society in democratic Athens is a central but neglected aspect of ancient Greek history that is beginning to attract increasing interest. Nomos brings together ten essays by a group of British and American scholars who aim to explore ways in which Athenian legal texts can be read in their social and cultural context. The focus is on classical Athens, since that is where the evidence is fullest, but the range of sources examined is broad, including the whole spectrum of literary and epigraphical texts, with special reference to the corpus of Athenian...

Kosmos: Essays in Order, Conflict and Community in Classical Athens
ISBN: 9780521570817 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines how the various groups of people of which the polis of Classical Athens was composed got on together--or failed to do so. The authors collectively bring out what was distinctive about life in an ancient Greek city that was unusual both in its size and social complexity and in the extent of the democracy it practiced. The emphasis is broadly on the great success of the Athenians' communal experiment but tensions and fissures arising from religious, sexual, economic and political differences are not elided or glossed over.

The Greeks: A Portrait of Self and Others
ISBN: 9780192803887 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Who were the Classical Greeks? This book provides an original and challenging answer by exploring how Greeks (adult, male, citizen) defined themselves in opposition to a whole series of others (non-Greeks, women, slaves, non-citizens, and gods) as presented by supposedly objective historians of the time such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon. Cartledge looks at the achievements and legacy of the Greeks - history, democracy, philosophy and theatre - and the mental and material contexts of these inventions which are often deeply alien to our own way of thinking and acting. This new edition...

Money, Labour and Land: Approaches to the economics of ancient Greece
ISBN: 9780415510554 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The cultural wealth of the classical Greek world was matched by its material wealth, and there is abundant textual and archaeological evidence for both. However, radically different theoretical and methodological approaches have been used to interpret this evidence, and conflicts continue to rage as these different starting points produce clashing views on the significance and distribution of money, labour and land.
Money, Labour and Land reflects the current explosion in ideas and research by assembling case-studies from an international selection of renowned US, British and...

Hellenistic and Roman Sparta: A Tale of Two Cities
ISBN: 9780415262774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this revised edition, Paul Cartledge and Antony Spawforth have taken account of contemporary finds and scholarship to revise and update their authoritative overview of later Spartan history, and of the social, political, economic and cultural changes in the Spartan community. This attempts to challenge the conventional misperception of Spartan decline after the loss of her status as a great power on the battlefield in 371 BC. The book's focus on a frequently overlooked period should make it important not only for those interested specifically in Sparta, but also for all those concerned...

After Thermopylae: The Oath of Plataea and the End of the Graeco-Persian Wars
ISBN: 9780199747320 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Battle of Plataea in 479 BCE is one of world history's unjustly neglected events. It decisively ended the threat of a Persian conquest of Greece. It involved tens of thousands of combatants, including the largest number of Greeks ever brought together in a common cause. For the Spartans, the driving force behind the Greek victory, the battle was sweet vengeance for their defeat at Thermopylae the year before. Why has this pivotal battle been so overlooked?
In After Thermopylae, Paul Cartledge masterfully reopens one of the great puzzles of ancient Greece to discover, as much... The Battle of Plataea in 479 BCE is one of world history's unjustly neglected events. It decisively ended the threat of a Persian conquest of Greece. ...

The Tyrant-Slayers of Ancient Athens: A Tale of Two Statues
ISBN: 9780190663568 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This investigation relies on a rash bet: to write the biography of two of the most famous statues in Antiquity, the Tyrannicides. Representing the murderers of the tyrant Hipparchus in full action, these statues erected on the Agora of Athens have been in turn worshipped, outraged, and imitated. They have known hours of glory and moments of hardships, which have transformed them into true icons of Athenian democracy. The subject of this book is the remarkable story of this group statue and the ever-changing significance of its tyrant-slaying subjects. The first part of this book, in six...

A History of Greece : From the Time of Solon to 403 BC
ISBN: 9780415223690 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 1016 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. George Grote's History of Greece is one of the classic works of historical interpretation and scholarship. George Grote - banker, MP and a founder of London University - was the first historian to give a high value to the Greek creation of democracy, and this aspect of his work is closely relevant to late-1990s debates about democracy in our times. This abridgement of the original 12-volume work, which was made in the early years of the 20th century and published by George Routledge and sons, is now available again and makes accessible the essential Grote. In a new introduction, based on the...

This highly original introduction to ancient Greece uses the history of eleven major Greek cities to illuminate the most important and informative aspects of Greek culture. Cartledge highlights the role of such renowned cities as Athens (birthplace of democracy) and Sparta, but he also examines Argos, Thebes, Syracuse in Sicily, and Alexandria in Egypt, as well as lesser known locales such as Miletus (home of the West's first intellectual, Thales) and Massalia (Marseilles today), where the Greeks introduced the wine grape to the French. The author uses these cities to illuminate major themes,...
