Technical Automation in Classical Antiquity

Maria Gerolemou, University of Exeter, UK Technical automation – the ability of manmade (or god-made) objects to move and act autonomously – is not just the province of engineering or science fiction. In this book, Maria Gerolemou, by taking as her starting point the close semantic and linguistic relevance of technical automation to natural automatism, demonstrates how ancient literature, performance and engineering were often concerned with the way nature and artifice interacted. Moving across epic, didactic, tragedy, comedy, philosophy and ancient science, this is a brilliant assembly of evidence for the power of ‘automatic theatre’ in ancient literature

The Politics of Viewing in Xenophon’s Historical Narratives

Rosie Harman, University College London, UK

This book considers problems of cultural identity and power in the context of the competing imperialisms of the early 4th century BC It focuses on Xenophon’s works of narrative history: the Hellenica, Anabasis and Cyropaedia. These texts tell of conflicts between Greek states, conflicts between Greeks and non-Greeks, especially Persia, and relations between the elite individual and society.

Plautus: Trinummus

Seth A. Jeppesen, Brigham Young University, USA

three

politically significant moments are imagined in highly visual terms

are shown spectacles of Spartan military victory, vistas of Asian landscape or displays of Persian imperial pomp, with historical protagonists presented as spectators viewing and responding to events

In this first introduction to Plautus’ Trinummus, students and non-specialists alike are guided through the themes, context and enduring humour of this Roman comedy Long neglected, Trinummus is one of many Plautine plays that is experiencing a resurgence This volume elucidates the humour of the play, which is largely based on parody and clever inversions of typical characters and situations from Roman comedy The genuine humour of Trinummus has something to say to modern readers, as it showcases how parody can skewer those engaged in pompous moral posturing and presents readers with a playwright who astutely views issues of imperialism and moral justification through a comic lens.

Mystery Cults, Theatre and Athenian Politics

A Reading of Euripides' Bacchae and Aristophanes' Frogs

Luigi Barzini, Independent Scholar, UK

Focusing on the mystic, civic and political content of Euripides' Bacchae and Aristophanes' Frogs, this volume offers not only a new reading of the plays, but also an interdisciplinary perspective on the special characteristics of mystery cults in Athens in their political context and the nature of theatrical audiences and their reaction to mystic themes Its illumination of the function of each play at a pivotal moment in fifth-century Athenian politics will be of value to scholars and students of ancient Greek drama, religion and history

The Spear, the Scroll, and the Pebble

How the Greek City-State Developed as a Male Warrior-Citizen Collective

Richard A. Billows, Columbia University, USA

This book seeks to understand how and why the Greek city-states, including their distinctive society and culture, came to be and had the highly unusual and influential form they took After reviewing early city-state formation, and the economic underpinnings of city-state society, three key chapters examine the way the Greeks developed their unique society: the first chapter explores how the city-state Greeks developed a citizen-militia military system; the second chapter deals with the political systems of oligarchy and democracy; and the final chapters make a study of the effect of the mass-literate male population on classical Greek culture

Authority and History

Ancient Models, Modern Questions

Edited by Juliana Bastos Marques, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro State – Unirio, Brazil & Federico Santangelo, Newcastle University, UK

This book examines authority in discourse from ancient to modern historians, while also presenting instances of current subversions of the classical rhetorical ethos Ancient rhetoric set out the rules of authority in discourse, and directly affected the claims of ancient historians to truth The contemporary world, in its turn, subverts in new ways the weight of the author’s claim to legitimacy and truth, through the active role of the audiences Online uses and outreach displays of the classical past have altered the balance of the authority traditionally bestowed upon the ancients, showing that the role of the reader is as important as that of the writer

Warriors of Anatolia

A Concise History of the Hittites

Trevor Bryce, University of Queensland, Australia

"Provides a thorough history of the Hittite kingdom, allowing readers to further understand the commonly hidden civilization of the ancient Near East." Middle East Journal

In this lively treatment of one of antiquity’s most mysterious civilizations, which disappeared from the records over 3,000 years ago, Bryce sheds fresh light on Hittite warriors as well as on their social, religious and political culture Drawing authoritatively both on texts and ongoing archaeological discoveries, Bryce argues that while the development of a warrior culture was essential, not only for the Empire’s expansion but for its very survival, this by itself was not enough Bryce takes the reader on a journey which gives an understanding of the intimacies and idiosyncrasies of Hittite daily life

Analysing the Boundaries of the

Ancient Roman Garden

(Re)Framing the Hortus

Victoria Austen, University of Winnipeg, USA

book demonstrates how the Romans constructed garden boundaries specifically in order to open up or undermine the division between a number of categoric oppositions, such as inside/outside, sacred/ profane, art/nature, and real/imagined Victoria Austen illustrates that what is significant is not so much the boundary itself, but, rather, the delight in playing with concepts of boundedness and separation

case studies from across literature and material and visual culture, she explores the perception of individual garden sites in response to their limits

Antiquity and Its Legacy

Peter J. Miller, University of Winnipeg, Canada

The tension between antiquity and modernity is at the heart of this book: modern sport cannot be understood without ancient sport Juxtaposing ancient writers with recent ones, including the modern Olympic founder Pierre de Coubertin and physical fitness impresario Bernarr Macfadden, and by examining the representation of sport in Olympic films and popular sports cinema, Miller demonstrates the ancient heritage of contemporary sport, and the creative ways in which ancient sport has been adapted, appropriated, mishandled and reimagined This book intervenes in one of the most important of the receptions of classical antiquity by examining how sports personalities, agencies, institutions and movements have consciously connected themselves to the GrecoRoman past, even as they continue to insist on their own centrality in the modern world
