ISBN: 9781905125067 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term 'colonisation' encompasses much diversity, from the settlement of the western Mediterranean and the Black sea by Greeks in the archaic period to the foundation of Roman colonies in mainland Italy during the Republic.

ISBN: 9781905125074 / Angielski / Twarda / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jean Ducat is the leading French authority on classical Sparta. Here is what is likely to be seen as his magnum opus. Ducat systematically collects, translates and evaluates the sources - famous and obscure alike - for Spartan education. He deploys his familiar combination of good judgement and uncompromising recognition of the limits to our knowledge, while drawing at times on aspects of French structuralism. This book is likely to become the definitive reference on its subject, while also informing and provoking the future work of others. Sparta was admitted by Greeks generally, even by its...

Ten new essays from a distinguished international cast treat Sparta's most famous area of activity. The results are challenging.

Jean Ducat conducts the most thorough study to date of Sparta's official cowards, the 'tremblers'. Anton Powell asks why Sparta chose not to destroy Athens after the Peloponnesian War.

Kingship in the Mycenaean World and Its Reflections in the Oral Tradition
ISBN: 9781931534123 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the last few decades, there has been great interest in the problems of defining the extent and nature of kingship in the Mycenaean world. Questions concerning the degree of economic and religious power held by the king have been given special emphasis. This book surveys the conclusions drawn by individual scholars studying the Linear B tablets, contrasts their theories with our knowledge of the Mycenaean kingdoms as derived from the archaeological record, and finally compares this evidence with possible reflections in the oral tradition, specifically in the Iliad and Odyssey . This...

Epic Grief: Personal Laments in Homer's Iliad
ISBN: 9783110179446 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of the gooi or personal laments in Homers Iliad once and for all articulates the poetic techniques regulating this type of speech. Going beyond the tendency to view lament as a repetitive and group-based activity, this work shows instead the primacy of the goos, a sub-genre which the Iliad has "produced" by absorbing the funerary genre of lament. Oral theory, narratology, semiotics, rhetorical analysis are deftly applied to explore the ways personal laments develop principal epic themes and unravel narrative threads weaving the thematical...

In der Kunst der Moderne kommt den vielfaltigen Erfahrungen von physischer und psychischer Gewalt eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Die sich daraus ergebende Frage nach den Formen der Prasentation von Gewalt und nach den Grunden fur das Vergnugen an tragischen Gegenstanden stellt sich jedoch bereits in der griechischen Klassik in durchaus vergleichbarer Weise. Die Studien des Bandes, die aus einem Symposion des Sonderforschungsbereichs "Asthetische Erfahrung im Zeichen der Entgrenzung der Kunste" hervorgegangen sind, untersuchen nach einem Blick auf die an Gewalterfahrungen reiche Geschichte des...
