Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). ; 1.25 x 10 x 6.75 Inches; 371 pages; British historian Davidson takes us inside classical Greece's brothels, bedrooms, drinking parties and banquets in this rarefied scholarly inquiry. His aim is not merely to depict Athenians as pleasure seekers but to overturn the current notion, purveyed by Michel Foucault and others, that Athens was a "phallocratic" society permeated with an ethos of penetration and domination, a homosexual-leaning culture polarized between adult male citizens and all others: Slaves, women, boys, foreigners. He largely succeeds on all counts, bringing to convivial life a predominantly heterosexual society where classes mingled easily; cultured courtesans bedded leading figures like Pericles and Alcibiades; and wives participated fully in sexual pleasures. Drawing on ancient treatises, pamphlets, comic plays, poems and speeches, Davidson investigates the classical Greeks' indulgences, including their mania for eating fish, A luxury viewed as hedonistic, And their tolerance for booze and sex (though sex addicts were considered to have a lower capacity to resist the natural pleasures). His intriguing study serves up a banquet of arcane lore.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 145, [6] p., ills. La decouverte de la Cappadoce au dix-neuvieme siecle. Traduit du Grec par Bruno Dulibine. Les études que nous avons consacrées respectivement à la chanson akritique et à la presse karamanlie, et, partant, un commun intérêt porté au domaine cappadocien et à ses populations, ont constitué le point de départ de cette recherche menée en collaboration. Notre décision de nous pencher sur la tradition orale des populations orthodoxes de la Cappadoce nous a été dictée par les considérations suivantes: - Une étude systématique faisait défaut qui porterait sur les rapports de la chanson akritique, et particulièrement du 'poème' de Digenis Akritis, avec les épopées et romans musulmans (Sayyid Battal, Köroglou, etc.) . o II n'existait pas d'étude sur les chansons des orthodoxes turco-phones d'Asie Mineure et sur la diffusion des éditions karamanlies de Köroglou, Ashik Garip. Nous avons donc constaté que les traditions orales, les 'monuments vivants' des turcophones avaient été ignorés par les recherches, qui s'étaient attachées exclusivement aux communautés hellénophones. Cette partialité de la curiosité constituait en elle-même un premier objet à interpréter. Nous avons donc été inéluctablement conduits, avant même de procéder à une étude philologique comparative qui exigera de recourir à la philologie et à l'ethnographie turques, à examiner les composantes idéologiques et politiques de la curiosité des intellectuels du 19e siècle envers les monuments oraux de la Cappadoce. Dans notre étude, la première, observons-le, dans ce domaine, nous avons suivi les progrès de la découverte du pays et de ses monuments oraux et son utilisation politique jusqu'à la fin du 19e siècle. Les problèmes abordés dans cette étude tendent à se regrouper en deux faisceaux. Cela découle de la nature des documents, textes grecs et karamanlis, et des traits originaux de la population, grécophone et turcophone, à qui nous les devons.
Book is fine. ; Ix, 163pp. A Plato Primer introduces students and general readers to the main theses, concepts, and arguments in Plato's philosophy. Plato's thought? Subtle, versatile, and multifaceted? Extends over many decades of composition and many philosophical topics, making it difficult to distill. J. D. G. Evans overcomes this challenge by starting from the premise that there is a core to Plato's philosophy that can be traced through the spectrum of his writings. ; 163 pages
Bottom edge stamped "Review Copy Not for Resale," else Fine. ; This book makes a strong case for the importance of religious practices in Classical Athens, showing how thoroughly ritual was integrated into the city's democratic institutions and civic life. To this end Nancy Evans takes an in depth look at the cults of Athena, Demeter and Dionysus and the festivals and games associated with them. Writing for the general reader as well as the scholar, she reconstructs the rhythms of Athenian life and the omnipresence of ritual, sacrifice and incantation in both public and private spheres. Building on this picture of the broad institutional importance of religion, she goes on to provide detail of the religious backdrop to many of the key events of the Athenian Classical age, including Alcibiades' profaning of the Eleusinian Mysteries, and most notoriously, the trial of Socrates. ; 272 pages
