War is raging between the Greeks and the Trojans, and Achilles, the great champion of the Greek army, is angrily sulking in his tent and refusing to fight after a furious rove with his commander, Agamemnon. But when the Trojan prince Hector kills Achilles' beloved friend, Achilles plunges back into the battle to seek his bloody revenge. even though he knows it will bring about his own doom. Robert Graves's gripping retelling of The Iliad uses dark, satirical humour to take a revered epic back yo its roots as popular entertainment, portraying a world of quarrelling kings and tarnished heroes, who leave suffering women behind them and are watched over by cunning gods and goddesses.

New English Original bdg. HC. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 24 cm). In English. 271 p., color ills. Enez: It's natural, cultural and touristic beauties. Enez is situated on the North coast of the Aegean Sea, by the Turkish-Greek border, where Meriç, the most important river of Thrace, joins the sea. Enez, is located within an extremely important geographical area. It is surrounded by extraordinary beauties. This lovely town of Edirne, with its sunflowers- the symbols of the Thracian plains; with seafood-gift from the Aegean; with its harbor, which embraced different civilizations; with its wetlands protected by the river Meriç; with its rice; with its mountain of Hisarlidag, reaching the sky; and with its many other kinds of opulence, it is one of the most special places in our land, Turkey. In order to unearth the history of the city named Ainos in antiquity, we, as the University of Istanbul, have conducted many highly important archaeological excavations, so far. Other than this very important academic relationship between Enez, and the University of Istanbul, there also exists a very important relationship of neighbourhood. Istanbul University's Prof. Dr. Nazim Terzioglu Education, Culture, and Sports facility located in Enez, created an important bond between the staff of Istanbul University, and Enez. Every year hundreds of academic, and administrative staff, and also the students of the University of Istanbul, spend their summer vacations at this facility. This cute town enchant them with its history, and with its natural beauty. I am glad to announce here that these facilites have to capacity to serve our University staff, not only through the summer months, but throughout the year, as a result of the restoration work we have undertaken during the year 2009-2012. In sum, we shall be together with the people of Enez through all seasons. Besides, the University staff would not go to Enez for the purpose of spending their summer vacations only, but they would go to Enez to participate in other Istanbul University functions such as academic activites; summer, and winter schools; on the job training; contiunous training; and life-long training. With the responsibility of having a social facility in this culturally, geographically, and economically important region, it is our utmost duty to present this book to you. This book, which aims to introduce the natural, and the cultural features of Enez; to publicize its special features; to draw attention to its ecological, and sociological values, is a gift from our university to the public at large.
Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (34 x 24 cm). In English. 437 p., color and b/w ills. The treasures of Troia. Translated by Jean D. Carpenter Efe. Edited by Arzu Kahramani Pekin. It has been some 140 years now that actual finds from the ancient city of Troy-that city near the Dardanelles-that Troia around which was spun the famed epic of Homer's Illiad-appeared to accompany and magnify the myth. The finds unearthed there-many representing buried treasures-are today widely scattered, with principal groups, however, now found housed in only (!) eight different museums. The goal of this work is to bring the individual pieces together, to verify their common origin, to consider their purpose, and to place them into an accurate chronological perspective-not only within the strata of the site itself, but throughout the Bronze Age world that helped create them. These objects demonstrate how developed the aesthetic sensibilities of our ancestors living some 4500 years ago really were, and how highly developed the craft of their goldsmiths was at the time. Geographical patterns of influence as well as the import of semiprecious stones and other raw materials stress the far-reaching trade and significance of the Trojans.

Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; As Greek and Trojan forces battled in the shadow of Troy's wall, Hephaistos created a wondrous, ornately decorated shield for Achilles. At the Shield's center lay two walled cities, one at war and one at peace, surrounded by fields and pasturelands. Viewed as Homer's blueprint for an ideal, or utopian, social order, the Shield reveals that restraining and taming Nature would be fundamental to the Hellenic urban quest. It is this ideal that Classical Athens, with her utilitarian view of Nature, exemplified. In a city lacking pleasure gardens, it was particularly worthy of note when Epicurus created his garden oasis within the dense urban fabric. The disastrous results of extreme anthropocentrism would promote an essentially nostalgic desire to break down artificial barriers between humanity and Nature. This new ideal, vividly expressed through the domestication of Nature in villas and gardens and also through primitivist and Epicurean tendencies in Latin literature, informed the urban endeavors of Rome. ; Hellenic Studies 21; 8.9 X 5.4 X 0.5 inches; 220 pages

In Troy they find a city torn apart by destructive rivalries . a maelstrom of jealousy, deceit and murderous treachery.

The rightful-born queen of Lyrnessos, Briseis watched helplessly from the battlements as her husband and brothers were crushed by the invincible army of King Agamemnon. Taken into slavery, the proud, beautiful seer became the prize of Prince Achilles, the conquering Greeks' mightiest hero. But passion forged chains stronger than any iron, binding the hearts of captive and captor with a love that knew no equal, and when Troy fell, great Achilles promised his beloved Briseis would reign at his side as queen of Thessaly. Yet the jealousy of a ruthless king and the whims of the capricious deities would deny the lovers their happiness. As the flames of war rose higher around them, the prophetess vowed to save the beloved warrior for whom her dark gift foretold doom -- even if it meant defying the gods themselves. Book
