ISBN: 9780415070614 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among Alexander's successors, Lysimachus is the forgotten man; when he is recalled it is usually as a brutal oppressor of the Greeks, or conversely, as a mediocre little man spurred into action only late in life by a domineering woman.

Literary Texts and the Greek Historian
ISBN: 9780415073516 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume aims to provide a survey of the ways in which non-historical texts, as well as historical ones, can be used to construct Greek history. The author introduces the book with a chapter on the inventiveness of ancient authors and explores the genres of literature from which we construct our accounts of ancient history. He examines the fifth century authors Demosthenes, Lysias and Thucydides, as well as Greek tragedy and comedy, to show the different kinds of historical information that can be extracted from apparently recalcitrant texts.

Ancient Natural History: Histories of Nature
ISBN: 9780415088800 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ancient Natural History surveys the ways in which people in the ancient world thought about nature. The writings of Aristotle, Theophrastus, Strabo, Pliny are examined, as well as the popular beliefs of their contemporaries. Roger French finds that the same natural-historical material was used to serve the purposes of both the Greek philosopher and the Christian allegorist, or of a taxonomist like Theophrastus and a collector of curiosa like Pliny. He argues convincingly that the motives of ancient writers on nature were rarely scientific' and, indeed, that there was not really any...

Xenophon and the History of His Times
ISBN: 9780415091398 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Xenophon and the History of his Times examines Xenophon's longer historical works, the Hellenica and the Anabasis. Dillery considers how far these texts reflect the Greek intellectual world of the fourth and fifth centuries B.C., rather than focusing on the traditional question of how accurate they are as histories. Through analysis of the complete corpus of Xenophon's work, and the writings of his contemporaries, Xenophon is shown to be very much a man of his times, concerned with topical issues ranging from panhellenism and utopia to how far the gods controlled...

Inventing Ancient Culture: Historicism, Periodization and the Ancient World
ISBN: 9780415099608 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text discusses aspects of antiquity. It asks the reader in how far we have reinvented antiquity, by applying modern concepts and understandings to its study. Furthermore, it challenges the notion that perceptions of the self, of modern societal and institutional structures, originated in the Enlightenment. Rather, the authors and contributors argue, there are many continuities and marked similarities between the classical and the modern world.

The Greek World in the Fourth Century: From the Fall of the Athenian Empire to the Successors of Alexander
ISBN: 9780415105835 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Greek world in the fourth century BC may be regarded as the overlooked stepchild in the study of ancient Greek history, sandwiched between the brilliant achievements of classical Athens and the accomplishments of Alexander the Great. Yet this was the time of Plato and Aristotle, of Scopas and Lysippus, continuing the developments of the classical era while preparing those of the Hellenistic period to come. Athenian democracy settled into nearly a hundred years of stability, while the Greeks in Asia and the West reached a modus vivendi with their neighbours. The papers collected in this...

The Greek Historians
ISBN: 9780415105934 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Greeks invented history as a literary genre in the 5th century B.C. The first historians owed much to Homer and adopted his vivid and direct style in narrating historical events. Yet, despite the influence of Homer the birth of history was basically a reaction against mythical accounts of the past. Homer wrote about war and travel in foreign lands, in the distant and mythical past. In contrast, the Greek historians of the 5th century wrote about contemporary or very recent events, where eye witnesses could be interviewed and facts checked. This work follows the development of history from...

Greek and Roman Historians: Information and Misinformation
ISBN: 9780415117708 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is today widely accepted that we do not get the whole truth from any historian.

The Sacred and the Feminine in Ancient Greece
ISBN: 9780415126625 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In classical Greece women were almost entirely excluded from public life. Yet the feminine was accorded a central place in religious thought and ritual. The public symbolism of religion included powerful figures like Hera, Artemis and Athene; female worshippers often breached the boundary between public and private space; and both men and women negotiated gendered identities through their performance of ritual. This volume explores the often paradoxical centrality of the feminine in Greek culture, showing how out of sight was not out of mind. The contributors adopt perspectives from a range...

Hippocrates' Woman: Reading the Female Body in Ancient Greece
ISBN: 9780415138949 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hippocrates' Woman demonstrates the role of Hippocratic ideas about the female body in the subsequent history of western gynaecology.

Among the conflicting tange of images of women given in the Hippocratic corpus existed one tradition of the female body which says it is radically unlike the male body, behaving in different ways and requiring a different...
