Dustjacket has minor shelfwear. DJ spine is a little browned. ; 512 pages; How does the funeral oration relate to democracy in ancient Greece? How did the death of an individual citizen-soldier become the occasion to praise the city of Athens? In The Invention of Athens, Nicole Loraux traces the different rhetoric, politics, and ideology of funeral orations--epitaphioi--from Thucydides, Gorgias, Lysias, and Demosthenes to Plato. Arguing that the ceremony of public burial began circa 508-460 BCE, Loraux demonstrates that the institution of the funeral oration developed under Athenian democracy. A secular, not a religious phenomenon, a literary genre with fixed rhetoric effects, the funeral oration was inextricably linked to the epainos--praise of the city--rather than to a ritualized lament for the dead as is commonly assumed. Above all, the funeral oration celebrated the city of Athens and the Athenian citizen. Loraux interprets the speeches from literary, anthropological, and political perspectives. She explains how these acts of secular speech invented an image of Athens often at odds with the presumed ideals of democracy. To die in battle for the city was presented as an act of civic choice--the "fine" death that defined the citizen-soldier's noble, aristocratic ethos. At the same time, the funeral oration cultivated an image of democracy at a time when there was, for example, no formal theory of a respect for law and liberty, the supremacy of the collective and public over the individual and the private, or freedom of speech.

ill., br. In un'Europa segnata dall'avvento dei fascismi e del nazismo e drammaticamente precipitata nella seconda guerra mondiale, la storiografia contemporanea ha costruito una visione di Augusto e della genesi del principato tanto solida quanto preconcetta e infondata. I saggi raccolti in questo volume forniscono invece una ricostruzione assai diversa, avvalorata soprattutto dai numerosi documenti epigrafici e papirologici di recente rinvenimento. Questi, grazie anche a un serio riesame delle fonti di tradizione manoscritta, contribuiscono alla demolizione dei più radicati luoghi comuni sulle vicende politiche dopo le Idi di marzo del 44 a.C., la persona di Augusto e la sua posizione istituzionale. Ma non solo. La documentazione complessiva mette anche in luce il profondo rapporto tra il princeps e uno dei protagonisti di quella infuocata e tragica fase della storia costituzionale di Roma, Marco Tullio Cicerone, tanto da poter definire il primo come il vero erede politico del secondo e autore di una nuova forma rei publicae in verità delineata nei celeberrimi trattati ciceroniani.
