Envy, Poison, & Death: Women on Trial in Classical Athens
ISBN: 9780199562602 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At the heart of this volume are three trials held in Athens in the fourth century BCE. The defendants were all women and in each case the charges involved a combination of ritual activities. Two were condemned to death. Because of the brevity of the ancient sources, and their lack of agreement, the precise charges are unclear, and the reasons for these women's trials remain mysterious. Envy, Poison, and Death takes the complexity and confusion of the evidence not as a riddle to be solved, but as a revelation of social dynamics. It explores the changing factors--material,...

Luck, Fate and Fortune: Antiquity and Its Legacy
ISBN: 9781845118433 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The impulse to try to anticipate the future, and make sense of apparently random events, is irrepressible. Why and how the ancient Greeks tried to foretell the outcome of the present is the subject of Esther Eidinow's lively appraisal, which explores the legacy of ancient Greek notions of luck, fate and fortune in our own era. Perhaps the most famous of all sites of prediction is the Oracle at Delphi. But the Delphic Oracle is only the best-known example from a landscape covered by oracular sanctuaries; while across the literary genres of antiquity there are myriad tales - such as that of...

Oracles, Curses, and Risk Among the Ancient Greeks
ISBN: 9780199277780 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How did ancient Greek men and women deal with the uncertainty and risk of everyday life? What did they fear most, and how did they manage their anxieties? Esther Eidinow sets side-by-side two collections of material usually studied in isolation: binding curse tablets from across the ancient world, and the collection of published private questions from the oracle at Dodona in north-west Greece. Eidinow uses these texts to explore perceptions of risk and uncertainty in ancient society, challenging previous explanations.
In these records we hear voices that are rarely, if ever, heard in... How did ancient Greek men and women deal with the uncertainty and risk of everyday life? What did they fear most, and how did they manage their anxiet...

Luck, Fate and Fortune: Antiquity and Its Legacy
ISBN: 9780195380781 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The cultural impulse to try to anticipate the future, and make sense of apparently random events, is irrepressible. Perhaps the most famous of all sites of prediction is the Oracle of Delphi. How the world of antiquity, and particularly the ancient Greeks, tried to foretell the outcome of the present, serves as Esther Eidinow's starting-point for an appraisal of that legacy of forecasting in our own era. Delphi is still invoked when business people discuss future strategy and risk; these is even a strategic planning technique called the "Delphi Method." But the Delphic Oracle is only the best...
