Herodotus in Context: Ethnography, Science and the Art of Persuasion
ISBN: 9780521012416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the Histories of Herodotus within the context of the intellectual climate of the mid to late fifth century BC. Herodotus is read widely for his accounts of archaic Greek history but his descriptions of Egypt, Scythia and Libya are equally fascinating. Rosalind Thomas concentrates on the latter, along with Herodotus' accounts of the wonders of nature and his methods of convincing his audiences, seeing these as part of the world of scientific inquiry and controversy more familiar from the natural philosophers and medical works of the time.

Oral Tradition and Written Record in Classical Athens
ISBN: 9780521350259 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Scholars are becoming increasingly aware that, despite its written literature, ancient Greece was in many aspects an oral society. In the first major attempt to study the implications of this discovery, Dr. Thomas stresses the coexistence of literacy and oral tradition in Greece and examines their interaction. Concentrating on the plentiful evidence of Classical Athens, she shows how the use of writing developed only gradually and under the influence of the previous oral communications. Using insights from anthropology, the author isolates different types of Athenian oral tradition,...

Patterns of the Past: Epitedeumata in the Greek Tradition
ISBN: 9780199668885 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Classical Greek consistently uses epitedeumata to signify 'way of life' or even 'everyday habits', but always refers to practices that are deliberately pursued, not traditions and customs that are passively carried on. In this volume, an international group of leading academics undertake an examination of epitedeumata in Greek history, looking at cultural practices as acts which relate meaningfully to perceived sequences of past acts. In doing so, the contributors ask what kinds of attitudes the ancient Greeks had towards their past, and what behaviour such attitudes provoked. Each of the...

Polis Histories, Collective Memories and the Greek World
ISBN: 9781316644737 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Greek 'local histories', better called polis and island histories, have usually been seen as the poor relation of mainstream 'great' Greek historiography, and yet they were demonstrably popular and extremely numerous from the late Classical period into the Hellenistic. The extensive fragments and testimonia were collected by Felix Jacoby and have been supplemented since with recent finds and inscriptions. Yet while the Athenian histories have received considerable attention, those of other cities have not: this is the first book to consider the polis and island histories as a whole, and as an...

Literacy and Orality in Ancient Greece
ISBN: 9780521377423 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the role of written and oral communication in Greece and is the first systematic and sustained treatment at this level. It examines the recent theoretical debates about literacy and orality and explores the uses of writing and oral communication, and their interaction, in ancient Greece. It sets the significance of written and oral communication as much as possible in their social and historical context, and stresses the specifically Greek characteristics in their use. It draws together the results of recent studies and suggests further avenues of inquiry. All ancient...
