Light shelfwear. Faint creasing to rear wrap. ; Sather Classical Lectures 53; 236 pages; Classical archaeology probably enjoys a wider appeal than any other branch of classical or archaeological studies.

Here, Anthony Snodgrass argues that classical archaeology has a rare potential in the whole field of the study of the past to make innovative discoveries and apply modern approaches by widening the aims of the discipline.

Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers and pocket. ; Reprint of the 2nd edition; Anglistica & Americana; 1735. Blackwell, a Scottish classical scholar, first published this work anonymously. The work was intended to explain the causes of the superiority of Homer to all the poets who preceded or followed him. It shows considerable research, and contains many curious and interesting details, but its want of method made Bentley say that, when he had gone through half of it, he had forgotten the beginning, and, when he had finished the reading of it, he had forgotten the whole.

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.

(Intelligent Person's Guide Series) Peter Jones argues in this book that it is the power, scope and intrinsic fascination of their ideas that makes the Greeks and Romans so important and influential. For over 2,000 years these ideas, many formulated by them (as far as we can tell) for the first time, have gripped western imagination and been instrumental in the way we think about the world. The book gives a succinct account of what is meant by the term 'Classics' and how knowledge of the Greeks and the Romans has been transmitted to us today, before launching out onto a wide-ranging selection of topics spanning the millennia which give some indication of the astonishing intellectual, political and literary achievements of the classical world. The book ends with a brief scream at those responsible for the education of our young today.176p.plates index. Book

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.
