The Gift of the Nile: Hellenizing Egypt from Aeschylus to Alexandervolume 8
ISBN: 9780520228207 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Egyptians mesmerized the ancient Greeks for scores of years. The Greek literature and art of the classical period are especially thick with representations of Egypt and Egyptians.

Informed by recent work on orientalism and colonialism, this book unravels the significance of these misrepresentations of Egypt in the Greek cultural imagination in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E.

ISBN: 9780195380903 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Over 2,600 years ago the Parian poet Archilochus wrote 'we chased seven and killed them...the thousand of us.' In all parts of the world, and in all civilisations, the history of warfare, as well as the ironic humour of those who fight and die, can be traced back to the earliest records. But the vocabulary of modern warfare-army, military, strategy, tactics-derives from Greek and Latin, while metaphors of conflict similarly evoke ancient times. Such expressions and phrases as 'Live by the sword and die by the sword, ' 'Phyrrhic victory, ' and 'arms and the man' are commonplace, and all come...

Music: Antiquity and Its Legacy
ISBN: 9781350193819 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This book explores the pivotal role played by ancient mousike¯ – in all its facets – in the development of musical practices and ideas throughout history. Since antiquity, music has consistently played a significant role in social and cultural life, and although the terms in which it is expressed and the cultural meanings it conveys vary dramatically across different times and geographies, the influence of the ancient Greek concept on modern Western notions is nevertheless striking. In a series of lucid and engaging thematic chapters, Eleonora Rocconi surveys the roles and functions...
