The Laughter of Aphrodite: A Novel about Sappho of Lesbos
ISBN: 9780520203402 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Best-selling classicist Peter Green recreates the life and times of the Greek lyric poet Sappho in this beautifully conceived, sharply detailed work of historical imagination. We meet Sappho at the age of fifty, when she is shaken by her fatal and final love affair with Phaon. She narrates her own story from the vantage point of self-questioning middle age, and her candid meditations make intimate, engrossing reading. Only fragments of Sappho's poetry survive. In imagining Sappho's life Green found his task "rather like that of an archaeologist reassembling some amphora from hundreds of...

Alexander of Macedon, 356–323 B.C.: A Historical Biography
ISBN: 9780520275867 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Until recently, popular biographers and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. His dream was at times characterized as a benevolent interest in the brotherhood of man, sometimes as a brute interest in the exercise of power. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a man capable of such diverse expediencies as patricide or the massacre of civilians. Green describes his Alexander as "not only the most brilliant...

From Ikaria to the Stars: Classical Mythification, Ancient and Modern
ISBN: 9780292726031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "I hadn't, till I really started digging, gauged the fierce intensity of the need for myth in the human psyche, of any age, or sensed the variety of motives dictating that need," writes Peter Green in the introduction to this wide-ranging collection of essays on classical mythology and the mythic experience. Using the need for myth as the starting point for exploring a number of topics in Greek mythology and history, Green advances new ideas about why the human urge to make myths persists across the millennia and why the borderland between mythology and history can sometimes be hard to...

The Hellenistic Age: A Short History
ISBN: 9780812967401 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Hellenistic Age chronicles the years 336 to 30 BCE, a period that witnessed the overlap of two of antiquity's great civilizations, the Greek and the Roman. Peter Green's remarkably far-ranging study covers the prevalent themes and events of those centuries: the Hellenization, by Alexander's conquests, of an immense swath of the known world; the lengthy and chaotic partition of this empire by rival Macedonian bands; the decline of the city-state as the predominant political institution; and, finally, Rome's moment of transition from republican to imperial rule. It is a story of war...

Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Agevolume 1
ISBN: 9780520083493 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 970 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The Hellenistic Age, the three extraordinary centuries from the death of Alexander in 323 B. C. to Octavian's final defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, has offered a rich and variegated field of exploration for historians, philosophers, economists, and literary critics. Yet few scholars have attempted the daunting task of seeing the period whole, of refracting its achievements and reception through the lens of a single critical mind. Alexander to Actium was conceived and written to fill that gap. In this monumental work, Peter Green--noted scholar, writer, and...
