19664181Cambridge University Press. 1966. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing.; 23pp of photos 78 figures. "This is an account of the excavation of a Greek sanctuary in the south-west corner of the mainland of Asia Minor opposite Rhodes--once known as the Carian Chersonese. The excavations took place in 1959-1960. This is the first Greek temple of any size uncovered in that part of Asia Minor and the discovery of the site of Kastabos whose existence was known from book V of Diodorus' world history has entailed the re-siting of several ancient towns in the region. The sanctuary itself whose main buildings date from c. 300 B. C. was dedicated to the Goddess Hemithea. It adds to our knowledge of a special sort of Greek shrine which was popular in the early Hellenistic age and is a perfect instance of a religious gathering place designed for a short well attended festival. The excavations show that although it was an Ionic temple the style of the great contemporary temples in Ionia such as that at Ephesus has been modified and the design is somewhat similar in plan and proportion to that of the temple of Epidaurus. In particular the discovery of a decorative screen with little shrines round the temple area throws new light on Greek architectural complexes."; 180 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover
198637329Oxford University Press. 1986. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Faint shelfwear to book and DJ.; 208 pages; This authoritative study of Greek insects treats not only the obvious questions of their identity--in modern terms of species and genera--but also such topics as the etymologies both formal and popular of the various insect names the folklore religious and other signficant associations and the differences in attitude shown toward them by the ancient and modern world. Patterned after two famous studies by D'Arcy Thompson--A Glossary of Greek Birds and A Glossary of Greek Fishes--this volume provides a meticulous survey of the topic examining the ancient literature and the enormous secondary literature connected with it as well as the most recent scientific findings. Like Thompson's glossaries this work focuses primarily on evidence from literature and art with later evidence brought in only when needed for a full understanding of the facts. Compiled by a classics scholar working with a zoologist this glossary provides alphabetically-arranged entries on such common insects as the ant the louse the butterfly the wasp the bedbug the cricket and the praying mantis. The first comprehensive study on this subject Greek Insects belongs on the bookshelf of every Greek scholar and it will be of considerable interest to educated readers. . 0195205480 .
