The so-called Letter of Aristeas or Letter to Philocrates is a Hellenistic work of the 2nd century BCE one of the Pseudepigrapha. Josephus who paraphrases about two-fifths of the letter ascribes it to Aristeas and written to Philocrates describing the Greek translation of the Hebrew Law by seventy-two interpreters sent into Egypt from Jerusalem at the request of the librarian of Alexandria resulting in the Septuagint translation.

Dustjacket spine is sunned.; One of the difficulties in appreciating the literature of a foreign culture and even more that of an ancient one is to be sensitive to the overtones that certain concepts held for the original audience. A distinctive feature of Greek culture was an awareness of the power of words and an interest in the interrelationships between persuasion peitho deception and violence. These issues figured with some prominence in Greek plays. Dr Buxton maintains that certain aspects of classical tragedy become clearer if we recognise what peitho meant to the Greeks. In the first part of his book he attempts to 'excavate' the concept of peitho uncovering its various associations in different areas of experience - politics rhetoric love morality and philosophy. Armed with what he has discovered he turns in the second part to an analysis of selected plays by Aischylos Sophokles and Euripides in which persuasion plays a major role.; 260 pages . 0521241804 .

199336666Oxford University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Very light shelfwear to book and DJ.; 0.8 x 9.36 x 6.38 Inches; 220 pages; Tales of archaic Greek city foundations continue to be told and retold long after the colonies themselves were settled and this book explores how the ancient Greeks constructed their memory of founding new cities overseas. Greek stories about colonizing Sicily or the Black Sea in the seventh century B.C.E. are no more transparent no less culturally constructed than nineteenth-century British tales of empire in India or Africa; they are every bit as much about power language and cultural appropriation. This book brings anthropological and literary theory to bear on the narratives that later Greeks tell about founding colonies and the processes through which the colonized are assimilated into the familiar story-lines metaphors and rituals of the colonizers. The distinctiveness and the universality of the Greek colonial representations are explored through explicit comparison with later European narratives of new world settlement. . 0195083997 .

199342865Oxford Clarendon Press. 1993. Softcover. Very Good. Underlining in pencil to a few pages. Minor creasing to a couple of corners of wraps.; 200 pages; This edition and commentary provides an invaluable introduction to one of Euripides' less well-known plays and describes the enormous value of the text for our understanding of Athenian drama religion and society. Heraclidae is one of Euripides' "alphabetical" plays preserved exclusively in a Laurentian manuscript and therefore not selected in antiquity. Not even in modern times despite the excellent commentaries of Elmsley 1821 and Pearson 1907 and powerful articles by Wilamwitz has the play been given the prominence it deserves. This edition interprets the play in a wide cultural setting considering unorthodox aspects of the structure of the drama but placing particular emphasis on the cults and myths of Heracles in Attica on his apotheosis and marriage on his association with the young and most of all on the two most striking rituals in the play: the voluntary self-sacrifice of the daughter of Heracles and the conversion of Eurystheus from an enemy of Athens to a hero whose dead body will protect the city-state. The text is James Diggle's Oxford Classical Texts 1984. . 0198150245 . Oxford Clarendon Press paperback
199111299Princeton University Press. 1991. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Small black pen line to front panel 2 cm else DJ fine.; 184 pages; Why does a power expand and become an empire Writing in the early years of the Peloponnesian War Herodotus gave Athens full credit for saving Greece from Persia but also identified the city's expansion as a new manifestation of imperialist aggression. In this skillful analysis of Herodotus' intellectual world J.A.S. Evans combines historical anthropological and literary techniques to show how the war affected not only the great thinker's view of Persian aggression and of the people involved in it but also the shape of the Histories themselves. The first essay discusses Herodotus' investigation of imperialism and the second finds the beginnings of biography in his descriptions of individuals particularly in his well-crafted portrait of Cyrus. The third essay describes the "Father of History" as a collector and evaluator of local oral stories sources for the written work that was destined by its scope and unifying plan to introduce a new genre. Evans draws analogies between Herodotus' methods and those of oral historians in other cultures particularly in precolonial Africa. He also explores comparisons between Herodotus in Egypt and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European ethnologists in the Americas. . 0691068712 . Princeton University Press hardcover
