Abstract

"In Greek Epigraphy and Religion Emily Mackil and Nikolaos Papazarkadas bring together a series of papers first presented at a special session of the Second North American Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (Berkeley 2016). That session was dedicated to the memory of Sara B. Aleshire, one of the leading Greek epigraphists of the twentieth century. The volume at hand includes a combination of previously unpublished inscriptions, overlooked epigraphical documents, and well known inscribed texts that are reexamined with fresh eyes and approaches. The relevant documents cover a wide geographical range, including Athens and Attica, the Peloponnese, Epirus, Thessaly, the Aegean islands, and Egypt. This collection ultimately explores the insights provided by epigraphical texts into the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks, but also revisits critically some entrenched doctrines in the field of Greek religion"

Abstract

Nineteen contributions by eminent scholars cover topics in Greek Epigraphy, Ancient History, Archaeology, and the Historiography of Archaeology. The section on Epigraphy and Ancient History has a particular focus on Attica, whereas material from Eretria, Delphi, the Argolid, Aetolia, Macedonia, Samothrace, and Aphrodisias widens the picture. The section on Archaeology discusses cultural variation as well as matters of cult, myth, and style, especially in Attica, from the Chalcolithic to the Roman period. The final section on the History of Archaeology reviews the early history of archaeological research at sites such as Piraeus, Rhamnous, Marathon, Oropos, Pylos, and Eretria, based on unpublished archival sources as well as on preliminary sketches and architectural drawings by 19th century artists.

Abstract

"L’œuvre abondante de Flavius Josèphe laisse apparaître quelques brèves dispositions traitant des relations sexuelles entre un homme et une femme dans le cadre du mariage. Pour autant, aucune étude systématique sur le sujet n’a été publiée jusque-là. L’approche critique du droit matrimonial présentée dans cet ouvrage vient combler cette lacune en s’interrogeant sur l’originalité d’un système juridique élaboré au carrefour de deux cultures: juive et hellénistique. Comment, dans la seconde moitié du premier siècle de notre ère, notre historien juif s’y prend-il pour s’adresser à ses contemporains? Quels emprunts fait-il au vocabulaire, aux métaphores et autres concepts disponibles de la pensée de son époque? C’est donc essentiellement à partir de leurs sources d’inspiration que seront étudiées les principales règles régissant le droit juif du mariage à l’orée de l’ère chrétienne."

Abstract

The documents edited by H. Şükrü Ilıcak in Those Infidel Greeks comprise the English translations of select documents from the Ayniyat Registers on the Greek War of Independence preserved in the Ottoman State Archives. The primary importance of these documents is that they are a clear testimony of the larger imperial context in which the Greek War of Independence evolved and proved successful. The mass of information they contain is immense and allows the reader to follow on an almost day-to-day basis how an empire tried to suppress a national uprising-the first of its kind in the early nineteenth century. Contributors Çağrı Erdoğan, H. Şükrü Ilıcak, Nikola Rakovski, Mehmet Savan, Kahraman Şakul, and Aysel Yıldız. This is a co-publication with the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation.

Abstract

L'étude de la présence militaire dans les campagnes durant l'antiquité, essentiellement pour des raisons de police, tant aux époques hellénistique que romaine, n'attira pendant longtemps que fort peu l'attention de la communauté scientifique. Depuis quelques décennies toutefois, l'étude croisée de sources littéraires, épigraphiques, archéologiques et papyrologiques a permis de se rendre compte que ces soldats jouaient un rêle non négligeable dans la vie des communautés rurales avec qui ils étaient quotidiennement en contact. Si ces hommes apparaissent parfois comme des sauveurs face à un brigandage endémique, de nombreuses plaintes montrent que leur action pouvait avoir des effets pires que ceux imputables aux marginaux qu'ils étaient supposés combattre. La journée d'étude qui s'est tenue à Perpignan le 16 mai 2018 a réuni des spécialistes de ces questions afín de faire un premier bilan. Ce sont leurs contributions, concernant un espace géographique fort vaste aliant de l'Armorique à la Phrygie, qui sont présentées dans cet ouvrage collectif à l'attention des lecteurs.

Abstract

From the Trojan War to the sack of Rome, from the fall of Constantinople to the bombings of World War II and the recent devastation of Syrian towns, the destruction of cities and the slaughter of civilian populations are among the most dramatic events in world history. But how reliable are literary sources for these events? Did ancient authors exaggerate the scale of destruction to create sensational narratives? This volume reassesses the impact of physical destruction on ancient Greek cities and its demographic and economic implications. Addressing methodological issues of interpreting the archaeological evidence for destructions, the volume examines the evidence for the destruction, survival, and recovery of Greek cities. The studies, written by an international group of specialists in archaeology, ancient history, and numismatic, range from Sicily to Asia Minor and Aegean Thrace, and include Athens, Corinth, and Eretria. They highlight the resilience of ancient populations and the recovery of cities in the long term.

Abstract

"What we can learn about fostering innovation and creative thinking in any field from some of the most inventive people of all times-the ancient Greeks. When it comes to innovation and creative thinking, we are still catching up with the ancient Greeks. Between 800 and 300 BCE, they changed the world with astonishing inventions-democracy, the alphabet, philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematical proof, rational medicine, coins, architectural canons, drama, lifelike sculpture, and competitive athletics. None of this happened by accident. Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself-and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging and entertaining introduction to key ideas about-and examples of-innovation and creativite thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus, with the original Greek text on facing pages. These writings illuminate and illustrate timeless principles of creating something new-borrowing or adapting existing ideas or things, cross-fertilizing disparate elements, or criticizing and disrupting current conditions. From the true story of Archimedes's famous "Eureka!" moment, to Aristotle's thoughts on physical change and political innovation, to accounts of how disruption and competition drove invention in Greek warfare and the visual arts, How to Innovate is filled with valuable insights about how change happens-and how to bring it about"--
