8vo. (404 pages) Explores the relations of the Italian cities with Rome and Carthage during the Second Punic War.The great Carthaginian general, Hannibal, invaded Italy during the Second Punic War (218-201 BC) with the hope of raising widespread rebellions among Rome's subordinate allies in the south. He was partly successful, but did not win over enough Italian cities to defeat Rome. Understanding their motivations reveals much, not just about the war itself, i1. Introduction, 2. Apulia, 3.

The innocent early childhood of the author, on a beautiful and serene Greek island, was painfully interrupted by World War II. The inevitable impact upon the development of the author's personality and character, as well as all facets of life in Greece brought about by the war, the occupation, the famine, the flight to Palestine, and the subsequent civil war was profound. It is presented realistically in the first half of the book, from historical and political points of view, as objectively as humanly possible. The second half depicts the author as a university professor in North America, embroiled in continuous struggle, trying to cope with educational, societal, xenophobic, anti-foreign, jingoistic, and racial issues while striving to advance his own scientific career in the face of numerous family disasters. The reminiscence of the blue sea surrounding the faraway island provided him with the peace of mind needed to cope with such complex and difficult issues.220p. Notes [10 copies in Worldcat] Book

3 volumi in 16mo, pp. 837, 729, 1056, vol. 1: libri I-III, vol 2: libri IV-VIII; vol. 3: libri xi-xiii, Un'enciclopedica storia universale delle vicende di tutto il mondo greco e romano successive alla guerra di Troia fino all'età di Cesare: ecco l'ambizioso progetto concepito nel I secolo a.C. dallo storico siceliota Diodoro di Agirio. Dopo aver illustrato nei primi tre libri mitologia, storia ed etnografia delle principali genti anelleniche, nei cinque libri raccolti in questo volume Diodoro si occupa inizialmente delle medesime tematiche ma con riferimento al mondo greco. Il IV libro presenta una ricca panoramica dei cicli mitici ellenici, il V tratta il popolamento, l'etnografia e la topografia delle isole greche e il VI delinea una schematica sintesi della teogonia ellenica. La narrazione propriamente storica inizia con il VII libro, che si occupa del cosiddetto Medioevo ellenico - durante il quale andò prendendo forma la civiltà delle poleis - e delle origini di Roma, in un'esplorazione dell'affascinante zona di confine che separa il mito dalla storia.
