The Hero Cults of Sparta
Local Religion in a Greek City
Nicolette A. Pavlides, University of Edinburgh, UK
This book examines the hero-cults of Sparta on the basis of the archaeological and literary sources Nicolette Pavlides explores the local idiosyncrasies of a pan-Hellenic phenomenon, which itself can help us understand the place and function of heroes in Greek religion Although it has long been noted that hero-cult was especially popular in Sparta, there is little known about the cults, both in terms of material evidence and the historical context for their popularity The evidence from the cult of Helen and Menelaos at the Menelaion, the worship of Agamemnon and Alexandra/Kassandra, the Dioskouroi, and others who remain anonymous to us, is viewed as a local phenomenon reflective of the developing communal and social consciousness of the polis

Ermolao Barbaro's On Celibacy 1 and 2
Edited by Gareth Williams, Columbia University, USA
This volume offers the first annotated English translation of the first two books of On Celibacy (1473) by the eminent Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro (1454-93); Books 3 and 4 of On Celibacy are presented, along with Barbaro’s On the Duty of the Ambassador, in the companion piece to this first volume. Setting out the historical context that crucially conditions Barbaro’s advocacy of the celibate life in Books 1 and 2, the introduction examines how On Celibacy seeks to justify a contemplative existence that rejects the career path expected of a figure of Barbaro’s standing within the Venetian patrician class

Epic, Novel and the Progress of Antiquity
Ahuvia Kahane, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
This book rethinks the characterization of two highly contrastive forms of ancient literary tradition - epic and novel - and re-frames their function as dynamic points of reference in the history of ideas and in our understanding of the interface between antiquity and the modern Ahuvia Kahane sets out to construct a new understanding of epic and novel in antiquity as part of a more fragile, dynamic framework, governed by intertextuality and openness on the one hand, and by fragmented interpretive traditions on the other
Richard Alston, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Exploring the intriguing interplay between tradition and modernity in the 19th-century capitals of London, Athens and Rome, Richard Alston delves into the political and architectural choices that shaped these cities as representations of self-consciously modern nations Politicians and architects invested in classical styles in their efforts to break with traditions and assert new values Classical style was employed to address questions of urbanism and nation, citizenship and belonging, and history and civilization

Psychiatry
Antiquity and Its Legacy
Jessica Wright, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA
This volume examines modern questions around psychiatry through a historical lens, teasing apart associations with ancient medicine, philosophy and myth to demonstrate how these reflect internal contradictions and ambiguities within modern conceptions of mental illness and its treatment By exploring a series of explanatory models and diagnoses, and mapping key connections between ancient and modern frameworks, it demonstrates how the process of exploring the connections between modern and ancient psychiatry can illuminate modern understandings of mental illness, its therapies, and its place in contemporary society and culture

Kathleen Raine Classics and Consciousness
Jenny Messenger, Independent Scholar, UK
This book considers Raine’s engagement with Graeco-Roman philosophy in her poetry, scholarship, essays, and autobiographical writings. Kathleen Raine was a poet, literary scholar, and co-founder of the Temenos Academy, an educational charity dedicated to the study of world philosophies Her interpretation of the classical past informed her persona as poet and scholar, and in both tasks she sought to reintroduce to Western society what she viewed as the lost symbolic discourse of a ‘perennial philosophy’ Her way of seeing the world, traceable from antiquity to the present day, distinguished no separation between inner self and outer world and stressed the interconnectedness of all beings
