Reciprocity and Ritual : Homer and Tragedy in the Developing City-State
ISBN: 9780198149491 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is an exciting and entirely new synthesis, combining anthropology, political and social history, and a close reading of central Greek texts, to account for two of the most significant hallmarks in Homeric epic and Athenian tragedy: the representation of ritual, and codes of reciprocity. Both genres are pervaded by these features, yet each treats them in entirely different ways. In this book, Seaford shows that these differences cannot be accounted for in merely literary terms, but require a historical explanation. Challenging, thoroughly lucid, and at times controversial, this lively and...

Cosmology and the Polis: The Social Construction of Space and Time in the Tragedies of Aeschylus
ISBN: 9781107009271 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book further develops Professor Seaford's innovative work on the study of ritual and money in the developing Greek polis. It employs the concept of the chronotope, which refers to the phenomenon whereby the spatial and temporal frameworks explicit or implicit in a text have the same structure and uncovers various such chronotopes in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and in particular the tragedies of Aeschylus. Mikhail Bakhtin's pioneering use of the chronotope was in literary analysis. This study by contrast derives the variety of chronotopes manifest in Greek texts from the variety of...

Universe and Inner Self in Early Indian and Early Greek Thought
ISBN: 9781474410991 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the sixth century BCE onwards there was a revolution in thought, with novel ideas such as such as that understanding the inner self is both vital for human well-being and central to understanding the universe. This intellectual transformation is sometimes called the beginning of philosophy. And it occurred - independently it seems - in both India and Greece, but not in the vast Persian Empire that divided them. How was this possible? This is a puzzle that has never been solved. This book brings together Hellenists and Indologists representing a variety of perspectives on the...

Dionysos
ISBN: 9780415324885 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Covering a wide range of issues which have been overlooked in the past, including mystery, cult and philosophy, Richard Seaford explores Dionysos - one of the most studied figures of the ancient Greek gods. Popularly known as the god of wine and frenzied abandon, and an influential figure for theatre where drama originated as part of the cult of Dionysos, Seaford goes beyond the mundane and usual to explore the history and influence of this god as never before.

Money and the Early Greek Mind: Homer, Philosophy, Tragedy
ISBN: 9780521832281 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How were the Greeks of the sixth century BC able to invent philosophy and tragedy? Richard Seaford argues that a large part of the answer can be found in another momentous development, the invention and rapid spread of coinage. By transforming social relations, monetization contributed to the concepts of the universe as an impersonal system (fundamental to Presocratic philosophy) and of the individual alienated from his own kin and from the gods, as found in tragedy.
