ISBN: 9780520247871 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

There are allegations of plots against men's lives, property, careers, and reputations as well as charges of conspiracy against the public interest, the government, the management of foreign affairs, and more.

ISBN: 9780520241923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The concept of manhood was immensely important in ancient Athens, shaping its political, social, legal, and ethical systems. This book, a groundbreaking study of manhood in fourth-century Athens, is the first to provide a comprehensive examination of notions about masculinity found in the Attic orators, who represent one of the most important sources for understanding the social history of this period.

Nothing Is as It Seems: The Tragedy of the Implicit in Euripides' Hippolytus
ISBN: 9780847690930 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this valuable book, Hanna M. Roisman provides a uniquely comprehensive look at Euripides' Hippolytus. Roisman begins with an examination of the ancient preference for the implicit style, and suggests a possible reading of Euripides' first treatment of the myth which would account for the Athenian audience's reservations about his Hippolytus Veiled. She proceeds to analyze significant scenes in the play, including Hippolytus' prayer to Artemis, Phaedra's delirium, Phaedra's 'confession' speech, and the interactions between Theseus and Hippolytus. Concluding with a discussion of the meaning...
