Dustjacket a bit tatty with tears and chipping to extremities. Small sticker stain to front panel. DJ is price-clipped. Former owner's name on ffep. Light shelfwear to book. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 190 pages; Commentaries on the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia, an anonymous history of events in the Greek world in the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC, have usually dealt almost entirely with problems of the text. In this book, Dr Bruce has written an historical commentary, basing his work on both the London and Florence papyri, which between them provide all the surviving fragments of the text. Dr Bruce begins with a brief description of the two papyri. He then discusses the Oxyrhynchus historian's style and method - his sources, chronology, bias, interest in causation, etc. The introduction ends with a résumé of the numerous theories of the author's identity (Dr Bruce favours either Cratippus or an author not known to us by name at all). The main part of the commentary is arranged in the form of notes on the sections of the Greek text, with occasional detailed notes on particular words or phrases. There are appendices on the Battle of Sardis and the Constitution of Boeotia; and the book concludes with a full biography. Dr Bruce's book is a complete guide available for further historical study of the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia.

Many pencil and ink notes. Former owner's name on ffep. Corners and spine ends edgeworn. Still solid. ; 349 pages; This classic introduction gives the student an insight into the amazing achievements of ancient Greece and at the same time, in a logical, thorough and interesting manner, develops in that student the power to read Greek. In an effort to stimulate and to help the student empathize, the authors bring the ancient Greeks alive by incorporating Greek mottoes at the head of each lesson to indicate the universality of Greek thought. They introduce many notable writers through translation passages, and by the inclusion of specially selected exercises on derivations and word formation that show how vital Greek is in our everyday language and lives.
