A cornucopia of essays on ancient Greece, this Festschrift for Donald Kagan contains 16 substantial essays on politics, war, and history. The collection is divided into two main foci: essays on Thucycdides and the Peloponnesian War and those on the period following the Peloponnesian War. Within the contexts of these two historic eras, the papers represent a variety of topics. Several essays explore the war itself, including the outbreak of the war and how warfare was conducted, alliances, honor, and strategy. Thucycdides and his outlook on constitutionalism and the end of the war are noted. The essays following the war period analyze Sparta and issues associated with its decline, Alexander’s battle at Granicus, and classical Athens in hindsight. A colorful collection of several aspects of ancient history, this publication will be much appreciated by Classicists and students of military history in the ancient world. |
|  | Text and Tradition by
Written by recognized authorities in the study of Classics, this Festschrift for Mortimer Chambers contains 20 substantial essays on Greek history and historiography. After a biography and bibliography of Chambers’ works, the essays are arranged in the two broad divisions of Text and Tradition and cover a broad range of topics. These essays are the works of E. Badian, John Barron, Alan Boegehold, John Buckler, Stanley M. Burstein, Luciano Canfora, Michael Clark, Daren Engen, Charles Fornara, Valerie French, Ralph Gallucci, Frank Kolb, Eberhard Ruschenbusch, Robert Wallace, W. Ward Briggs, William M. Calder III, John Langdon, John Nicols, George Szemler, W. J. Cherf, and Lawrence Tritle. Representing material that Classicists seldom find gathered in one monumental volume, this collection will be welcomed by libraries and individual scholars alike. |
|  | Ancient History: Recent Work and New Directions by
Characteristic of the aims and goals of the Association of Ancient Historians, this volume focuses on the new and developing arenas of study of the Classical world. Included in this volume are informed considerations of recent work done in four major fields of Classics scholarship: Greece (beginning in the late Dark Ages), by Kurt A. Raaflaub, the Hellenistic Age (including Macedon), by Stanley M. Burstein, the Roman Republic, by Allen M. Ward, and the Roman Empire, by Ramsay MacMullen. Designed to give both the specialist and the novice in the field an overview of trends in present-day scholarship focused on the ancient world, each contributor is allowed his own voice and viewpoint. |
|  | Current Issues and the Study of Ancient History by
The arrival of new disciplinary approaches to ancient fields of study is embraced in this volume of Publications of the Association of Ancient Historians. This volume considers the world of the Classic civilizations viewed through the lenses of recent approaches to historical material. Stanley M. Burstein considers Egypt and Greece in the light of Afrocentrism as a means of exploring ethnicity in the study of antiquity. Nancy Demand applies the outlook of gender studies to ancient history with the resultant concepts of participation and power. Ian Morris delves into the role archaeology takes in the understanding of ancient Greece, and Lawrence Tritle explores psychology and history in an analysis of Thucydides, a foundational writer of Classical history. These cross-disciplinary studies demonstrate the flexibility and breadth of the historical undertaking in an environment of continual growth and change. |

Thomas, Carol G. Myth Becomes History: Pre-Classical Greece
 E-mail this product to a friend
| Title: | Myth Becomes History: Pre-Classical Greece | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Regina Books |
Noting the standard reservations of Classicists regarding the Greek Bronze and Dark Ages, Carol Thomas declares the Pre-Classical period of ancient Greece to be the locus of much historical information. Archaeological evidence informing the history of ages once considered silent has assists as “myth becomes history,” as the book title declares. Both the metaphor and the fact of Troy serve as emblems of this historical enterprise as Thomas organizes her work around the subjects encountered by those approaching this time-frame: the tools (method and dating) and the evidence (writing and oral tradition). Poised on the brink between the end of Mycenaean civilization and the encroaching Dark Age, the Trojan War encompasses the complexity and nuances with which Thomas constructs her analysis. A brief account of the war is given in the context of both an actual war and a metaphor. These tools allow her to reconstruct the Mycenaean Age and the Dark Age prior to Classical Greece. A necessary requisite for consideration of the history of Classical Greece, this volume is accessible to scholars and interested laity alike. | |
