2011157534<p>In English. Hard cover 28x25 cm 296 pp. 170 images; net weight 2110 gr. ISBN: 978-960-6878-37-4.</p><p>For many centuries the chest was the only piece of storage furniture to be found in the Greek home. Highly valuable as a functional item its connection with a wide range of everyday events and the most important stations in a person’s life birth marriage and death gave the chest at a very early date a more profound symbolical meaning in the imagination of the Greek people. Using this observation as their starting point the authors of the book go beyond the systematic presentation of the general typological features of Greek chests and their local variations. Drawing on rich seams of Greek folklore and the fruits of many years of field research in every corner of Greece they offer an in-depth interpretation of the wealth of decoration found on chests in the hope of providing a key that will unlock the secrets of these forgotten pieces of furniture and draw out the treasures of the Greek psyche that lie concealed within them.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>================================================</p><p><b>IMPORTANT: The shipping cost in not included in the price.

201336889University of California Press. 2013. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Sunning along top edge of DJ. Minor shelfwear to DJ. Minor pencilling to margins of some pages. Scholar's name to ffep Bonnie Maclachlan née Ward.; During the archaic and classical periods Greek ideas about the dead evolved in response to changing social and cultural conditions—most notably changes associated with the development of the polis such as funerary legislation and changes due to increased contacts with cultures of the ancient Near East. In Restless Dead Sarah Iles Johnston presents and interprets these changes using them to build a complex picture of the way in which the society of the dead reflected that of the living expressing and defusing its tensions reiterating its values and eventually becoming a source of significant power for those who knew how to control it. She draws on both well-known sources such as Athenian tragedies and newer texts such as the Derveni Papyrus and a recently published lex sacra from Selinous. Topics of focus include the origin of the goes the ritual practitioner who made interaction with the dead his specialty the threat to the living presented by the ghosts of those who died dishonorably or prematurely the development of Hecate into a mistress of ghosts and its connection to female rites of transition and the complex nature of the Erinyes. Restless Dead culminates with a new reading of Aeschylus' Oresteia that emphasizes how Athenian myth and cult manipulated ideas about the dead to serve political and social ends.; 9.0 X 6.1 X 1.3 inches; 352 pages . 0520217071 .

ISBN: 960-204-004-1.</p><p>This book represents the first integrated attempt at a comprehensive study of the entire range of Greek popular musical instruments from the simplest sound-producing devices to the most complex technical achievements of art and musical sensibility. The study of musical instruments sheds light not only on music history but also on many other issues related to acoustics technology and decoration not to mention sociology religion economics and the broader aspects of history and civilization. Fivos Anoyanakis has dedicated his life to the study and collection of Greek popular musical instruments. He studied violin and advanced musical theory and has been involved in musicological research in two areas: Greek popular music with particular emphasis on traditional instruments and modern Greek composition. Thanks to his inspiration and contribution the «Museum of Greek Popular Musical Instruments - Center for Ethomusicology» was founded in Athens.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>================================================</p><p><strong>IMPORTANT: The shipping cost in not included in the price.
