Osprey PL - WBH 29 - Nic Fields - Bitwa pod Termop ilami 480 p.n.e.; Ostatnia walka Trzystu (2010).jpg

Trzydniowa bitwa o wąski przesmyk Termopile ma do dziś status legendy, heroicznej walki, w której Leonidas, król Sparty (i, jak sam uważał, potomek mężnego Heraklesa, pogromcy lwów), oraz 300 wybranych zginęło mężnie, usiłując powstrzymać Persów. Z tej porażki wyrosło panujące wśród późniejszych generacji Greków przekonanie, że Spartan ie przestrzegali swoich żelaznych praw i nigdy się nie cofali, choć była to opinia powstała w znacznej mierze dzięki tej bitwie. Nie dziwi zatem zbytnio, że ze wszystkich bitew tego, co Grecy nazywali wydarzeniami medyjskimi, my zaś wojnami perskimi, źródłem największej dumy są Termopile — jedna z owych, by użyć słów Michela de Montaigne, klęsk, których tryumf wspanialszy jest nad zwycięstwo (O kanibalach, 1580). Śmierć na polu bitwy postrzega się jako najwyższą spartańską cnotę, a obraz dzielnych Spartan walczących z perskimi wojskami w skalistym przesmyku nadal budzi emocje współczesnych czytelników.

Pindar, Anthony Verity, Stephen Instone - The comp lete odes (2007).jpg

The Greek poet Pindar (c. 518-428 BC) composed victory odes for winners in the ancient Games, including the Olympics. He celebrated the victories of athletes competing in foot races, horse races, boxing, wrestling, all-in fighting and the pentathlon, and his Odes are fascinating not only for their poetic qualities, but for what they tell us about the Games. Pindar praises the victor by comparing him to mythical heroes and the gods, but also reminds the athlete of his human limitations. The Odes contain versions of some of the best known Greek myths, such as Jason and the Argonauts, and Perseus and Medusa, and are a valuable source for insights on Greek religion and ethics. Pindar's startling use of language, including striking metaphors, bold syntax, and enigmatic expressions, makes reading his poetry a uniquely rewarding experience.
Anthony Verity's lucid translations stay as close as they can to the original Greek, without sacrificing readability. The text is complemented by a succinct introduction by Stephen Instone outlining the essential nature of Pindar's Odes as well as explaining the nature of the Games, the events, and the participants. Explanatory notes help the reader to navigate Pindar's sometimes compressed and allusive expressive technique.

Greece Grecja - Ernest R. McDowell, William N. Hess - K. W. Arafat -...usanias Greece Ancient Artists and Roman Rulers 1996.jpg

This is a study of the writings of Pausanias, a native of Asia Minor who chronicled his extensive travels in Greece in the second century AD. The greater part comprises the first detailed examination of Pausanias' view of Roman involvement in Greece and his attitude to the Roman emperors, especially Augustus, Nero and Hadrian. Pausanias' approach to the art and artists of the pre-Roman past of Greece is also considered. The book begins with a discussion of the historical, political and cultural background to Pausanias' work.

Christopher P. Jones - New Heroes in Antiquity; Fr om Achilles to Antinoos (2010).jpg

Heroes and heroines in antiquity inhabited a space somewhere between gods and humans. In this detailed, yet brilliantly wide-ranging analysis, Christopher Jones starts from literary heroes such as Achilles and moves to the historical record of those exceptional men and women who were worshiped after death. He asks why and how mortals were heroized, and what exactly becoming a hero entailed in terms of religious action and belief. He proves that the growing popularity of heroizing the dead—fallen warriors, family members, magnanimous citizens—represents not a decline from earlier practice but an adaptation to new contexts and modes of thought. The most famous example of this process is Hadrian’s beloved, Antinoos, who can now be located within an ancient tradition of heroizing extraordinary youths who died prematurely. This book, wholly new and beautifully written, rescues the hero from literary metaphor and vividly restores heroism to the reality of ancient life.

Aby w pełni zrozumieć rolę, jaką Aleksander Wielki odegrał w lii Storii, należy prześledzić stosunki między Grekami a Persami na przestrzeni 150 lat. Miasta greckie w Azji Mniejszej były w niewielkim stopniu zależne od władców lidyjskich z Sardes dopóty, dopóki sama Lidia nie dostała się pod panowanie Persów, których państwo rozrastało się w błyskawicznym tempie. Persowie, podobnie jak Lidyjczycy, byli łagodnymi panami, (irecy w Azji Mniejszej zbuntowali się przeciw1 nim tylko raz, w roku 499 . Gdy powstanie wsparły miasta z Grecji macierzystej, Dariusz i Kserkses zorganizowali przeciw nim dwie wyprawy (lata 490 i 480).

Tim Whitmarsh - Companion to the Greek and Roman N ovel (2008).jpg

The Greek and Roman novels of Petronius, Apuleius, Longus, Heliodorus and others have been cherished for millennia, but never more so than now. The Cambridge Companion to the Greek and Roman Novel contains nineteen original essays by an international cast of experts in the field. The emphasis is upon the critical interpretation of the texts within historical settings, both in antiquity and in the later generations that have been and continue to be inspired by them. All the central issues of current scholarship are addressed: sexuality, cultural identity, class, religion, politics, narrative, style, readership and much more. Four sections cover cultural context of the novels, their contents, literary form, and their reception in classical antiquity and beyond. Each chapter includes guidance on further reading. This collection will be essential for scholars and students, as well as for others who want an up-to-date, accessible introduction into this exhilarating material.

Liza Cleland, Glenys Davies, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones - Greek and Roman dress from A to Z (2007).jpg

Who dressed as a woman in an attempt to commit adultery with Julius Caesar’s wife? How did the ancient Greeks make blusher from seaweed? Just how does one wear a toga?

If, as many claim, the importance of clothes lies in their detail, then this a book that no sartorially savvy Classicist should be without. Greek and Roman Dress from A to Z is an alphabetized compendium of styles and accessories that form the well-known classical image: a reference source of stitches, drapery, hairstyles, colours, fabrics and jewellery, and an analysis of the intricate system of social meanings that they comprise.

The entries range in length from a few lines to a few pages and cover individual aspects of dress alongside surveys of wider topics and illuminating socio-cultural analysis, drawn from ancient art, literature and archaeology. For those who want to take their reading further, there are references to both primary sources and modern scholarship.

This book is be fascinating for anyone delving into it with an interest in style and dress, and an invaluable companion for any classicist.

Catherine Perles - The Early Neolithic in Greece; The First Farming Communities in Europe (2004).jpg

Farmers made a sudden and dramatic appearance in Greece around 7000 BC, bringing with them new ceramics and crafts, and establishing settled villages. Their settlements provide the link between the first agricultural Near Eastern communities and the subsequent spread of the new technologies to the Balkans and Western Europe. Drawing on evidence from a wide range of archaeological sources, including often neglected "small finds", the author introduces daring new perspectives on funerary rituals and the distribution of figurines, and constructs a complex and subtle picture of early Neolithic societies.

Jonathan J. Price - Thucydides and Internal War (2 001).jpg

This book explains in detail Thucydides' abstract model of internal war, and then shows how, by the terms of the model itself, Thucydides perceived and narrated the Peloponnesian War not as a conventional war but as an internal conflict. Viewing the great war as a destructive internal conflict had profound consequences for Thucydides' understanding of this particular war and all wars in general, and of Greece as a whole.
