Minor bumping. Light shelfwear to DJ and book. ; A collection of essays, by leading international scholars, on the history of the Greek theatre, and on the wider context of festival culture in which theatrical activity took place in the Greek world. The emphasis is on the documentary material - inscriptions, archaeological remains and monuments - which provides so much of our 'hard' evidence for the activities of the theatre. Much of the important material discussed here is unknown except to specialists, and these studies offer access to its interpretation to a wider audience. They cover a wide range of time and place, from the earliest days of the Greek theatre to the Roman period, with special emphasis on the neglected Hellenistic period, which is especially rich in documentary evidence. ; Oxford Studies In Ancient Documents; 8.6 X 5.7 X 1.2 inches; 400 pages

As New German Original bdg. HC. Mint. All edges gilt. 4to. (34 x 25 cm). In German. 179, [2] p., b/w ills. Vom osmanischen Zeitalter zu unserer Zeit. Armenische, griechische und jüdische Klubs und Sportler. From the Ottoman era to our time. Armenian, Greek and Jewish clubs and athletes. Sie waren nicht nur Sportler. Sie waren Menschen, die Vorraussetzungen besaßen um "Mitbürger" zu werden, sich mit unseren gesellschaftlichen Wertevorstellungen identifizierten und Mondsichel mit Stern in ihrem Herzen trugen. Was war also die jahrhundertelange Absicht der Klubs sie zusammenzubringen? Bevor ich diese Frage beantworte, muss man ein "irdischer" unter irdischen Bedingungen sein und auch die Menschen dieses Landes kennen. Die hundertjährige Geschichte, welche vom Sport- bis in den Militärbereich langt, ermöglicht uns Dank dafür zu zollen. Die "Türkische Sportgeschichte" schrieben jene, die mit Zuversicht dafür kämpften und es ermöglichten, jene die den Sichel und Stern nicht nur auf dem Trikot sondern auch in ihrem Herzen trugen, unter einer Flagge zusammenzubringen. Ohne sie wäre es nicht möglich gewesen Sportgeschichte zu schreiben. In diesem Buch werdet ihr hunderte Menschen kennenlernen. Und im selben Maße viele Klubs... Vahram Papazyan, Rober Eryol und der weltbekannte Lefter welcher die Ehre- bete, das Nationaltrikot zu tragen und die türkische Fahne bei den Olympischen Spielen hissen zu lassen. Lefters Nachricht stellte ihn nicht nur als "Sportbegeisterten" dar, sondern trug auch die Aussage "eines friedlichen Miteinanderlebens". Sein Ruf des "Ordinarius" welcher unter dem türkischen Volk gängig war, war nicht nur der Titel dem ihm Ona Manol gab, sondern auch der Ausdruck eines mühsehlig erkämpften Lebens. Ausdruck eines Leben voller Ehre, Stolz und Verantwortung... Mit einer Träne setzen wir den Punkt und erinnern jene, die ohne zwischen Herkunft, Religion und Sprache zu unterscheiden tausenden Sportlern wie Lefter oder Vahram Papazyan ihre Herzen öffneten und dieses Land samt seiner Flagge in ihre Obhut gaben. Dieses ist Ausdruck der Dankbarkeit unseres Volkes.
Former owner's name in pencil and blindstamp to ffep. Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; This study in comparative mythology interprets the Greek myths in the light of the mythologies of other Indo-European cultures - Indian, Celtic, Scandinavian, Roman, Greek, Iranian and Ossetian. The author uses a modified version of the schema proposed by the French theorist Dumezil to consider the profound connections between such works as the "Iliad", the "Odyssey", the Indian epics - the "Ramayana" and the "Mahabharata" - the Iranian "Book of Kings" and the Scandinavian "Yaglingasaga". The book includes a long critical exposition of the discipline of comparative mythology from its 18th-century origins to the revival of the discipline by Dumezil and his followers from 1938 to the present. It also reassesses the profound critique of Dumezil which linked him with Nazi ideology. ; 256 pages
Very minor shelfwear to book. Small chips to top of spine. DJ has creasing and 1 tear (repaired with clear tape) along upper edge. ; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 340 pages; Roman epic lays firm claim to being Western civilization's prime literary form. Roman Epic draws together 14 critically and methodologically distinct essays, focusing on particular epicists, their reaction to, influence on, and rewriting of each other. The book examines the formation and transformation of Roman epic from its beginnings in the third century B. C. Saturnian poets Livius and Naevius to the Renaissance Latin epic of Petrarch and Vida. What results is the revelation of Roman epic not only as Rome's highest poetic genre but as a self-consciously intertextual, primarily political form. The Roman epicist's creative exploitation of his predecessors is not restricted to stylistic similarities and generic codes, but often encompasses more important levels of social, moral and political meaning. In the Roman tradition, the epic form shows an impetus to reform the celebratory values implicit in the form itself, admitting a plurality of interactive, often critical narrative voices. This book reveals how the epic developed and critically considers the generic and literary tradition to which the texts belong. It demonstrates epic's critical significance for the foundational culture of the Western world.
