The presentation of the entire corpus of Ionian Island constitutional texts many of which have not been readily available to the reading public before now is accompanied here by the insight of political and constitutional historians in specially commissioned introductory chapters.

Small white dots to back board else Fine. Inscribed to Fergus Millar from the editors.; 261 pages; The empire created by Alexander the Great's general Seleucus constituted the largest Hellenistic kingdom of the successor states: yet this is the first substantial treatment of Seleucid history to appear for fifty years. The authors approach this important and successful state from new perspectives seeing it as part of the Middle Eastern world rather than solely in Greco-Roman terms and arguing that the Seleucid state is best understood as heir to the great Achaemenid Persian empire and earlier Middle Eastern states. They investigate the economies social structures political systems and cultures of the many peoples making up the empire and analyze in the context of colonialism and imperialism such evidence as exists for cultural changes including Hellenization. The book makes accessible the great variety of new and important documents that have been recently discovered. It will be welcomed by students teachers and all readers with an interest in Hellenistic and Middle Eastern history.; Signed by Editors . 071562413X . Gerald Duckworth & Company hardcover

199544716Oxford University Press. 1995. Softcover. Very Good. light foxing to top of textblock. Tiny chip to base of spine.; 454 pages; This is an exciting and entirely new synthesis combining anthropology political and social history and a close reading of central Greek texts to account for two of the most significant hallmarks in Homeric epic and Athenian tragedy: the representation of ritual and codes of reciprocity. Both genres are pervaded by these features yet each treats them in entirely different ways. In this book Seaford shows that these differences cannot be accounted for in merely literary terms but require a historical explanation. Challenging thoroughly lucid and at times controversial this lively and original work is the first to attempt to understand the development of early Greek literature from the perspective of state-formation. It should interest all those concerned with the literature and history of classical Greece. . 0198150369 . Oxford University Press paperback

C. the Aitolian koinon a federation of mountain cantons in west central Greece expanded to incorporate many of the neighboring lands and peoples lying between the Adriatic and Aegean Seas. This new political configuration contributed to the development of modern systems of federal democracy based on proportional representation. Despite these institutional advances the Aitolians and their polity are reviled in the ancient historical tradition which views them as backward semi-barbarous brigands. The Politics of Plunder is the first English-language book in over a century to examine the political history of the Aitolian koinon in its era of expansion. Joseph Scholten presents a chronological reconstruction of the koinon's course of expansion synthesizing a number of recent studies covering Aitolian topography epigraphy and institutional development that help to compensate for deficiencies in the ancient narrative record. His study is the first to ask how a people and a polity so detested by their contemporaries succeeded in making such fundamental contributions to their regional political culture. Scholten's careful investigation charts a middle course that neither whitewashes the Aitolians nor credulously accepts the biased ancient tradition. This balanced approach provides a much-needed fresh perspective on the Aitolians and their koinon. Discussing the history of the ancient Aegean Greek world and the political economic and social history of the Hellenistic Era this book will interest anyone concerned with those subjects or fascinated by the development of ancient Greek political institutions and theories particularly federalism.; Hellenistic Culture and Society; 2.72 x 9.31 x 7.94 Inches; 339 pages . 0520201876 .
