Edgewear to extremities. ; Looks at the theology that may be present in the writings of Homer, Aeschylus and Sophocles. ; 365 pages; 1870. Natural theology may be contemplated from two different points of view, and so may be seen in two different aspects. We may look at in from the stand point of our own observation and reason in the light of Christianity; or we may consider it as it has been developed in the literature and history of heathen nations, and as it appeared in the eyes of those who were destitute of the Christian revelation. This volume is intended as a humble contribution to natural theology in both these forms.

Large closed tear to back panel of DJ (8cm). Now protected in mylar sleeve. Bottom corners slightly bumped. ; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures, Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter, Mars, and Juno. However, real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters, the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers, the lusty garden god Priapus, and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age.
Gift inscription from author to Jenifer [Neils] on titlepage. ; Xii, 288pp. The elaborate and inventive slaughter of humans and animals in the arena fed an insatiable desire for violent spectacle among the Roman people. Donald G. Kyle combines the words of ancient authors with current scholarly research and cross-cultural perspectives, as he explores* the origins and historical development of the games* who the victims were and why they were chosen* how the Romans disposed of the thousands of resulting corpses* the complex religious and ritual aspects of institutionalised violence* the particularly savage treatment given to defiant Christians. This lively and original work provides compelling, sometimes controversial, perspectives on the bloody entertainments of ancient Rome, which continue to fascinate us to this day. ; 288 pages; Signed by Author
