In this highly-illustrated book, Mary T. Boatwright examines five of the peoples incorporated into the Roman world from the Republican through the Imperial periods: northerners, Greeks, Egyptians, Jews, and Christians. She explores over time the tension between assimilation and distinctiveness in the Roman world, as well as the changes effected in Rome by its multicultural nature. Underlining the fundamental importance of diversity in Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-identity, the book explores Roman tolerance of difference and community as the Romans expanded and consolidated their power and incorporated other peoples into their empire. The Peoples of the Roman World provides an accessible account of Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social, cultural, religious, and political history, exploring the rich literary, documentary, and visual evidence for these peoples and Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reactions to them.

SCHEIDEL: C. COMP TO THE ROMAN ECONOMY CVR CMYBLK

T H E C A M B R I D G E C O M PA N I O N T O T H E

This book offers readers a comprehensive and innovative introduction to the economy of the Roman Empire. Focusing on the principal determinants, features, and consequences of Roman economic development and integrating additional web-based materials, it is designed as an up-to-date survey that is accessible to all audiences. Five main sections discuss theoretical approaches drawn from Economics, labor regimes, the production of power and goods, various means of distribution from markets to predation, and the success and ultimate failure of the Roman economy. The book not only covers traditionally prominent features such as slavery, food production, and monetization but also highlights the importance of previously neglected aspects such as the role of human capital, energy generation, rent-taking, logistics, and human well-being, and convenes a group of ďŹ ve experts to debate the nature of Roman trade.

ANCIENT ROME

Rome was the largest city in the ancient world. As the capital of the Roman Empire, it was clearly an exceptional city in terms of size, diversity, and complexity. While the Colosseum, imperial palaces and Pantheon are among its most famous features, this volume explores Rome primarily as a city in which many thousands of men and women were born, lived and died. The thirty-one chapters by leading historians, classicists and archaeologists discuss issues ranging from the monuments and the games to the food and water supply, from policing and riots to domestic housing, from death and disease to pagan cults and the impact of Christianity. Richly illustrated, the volume introduces groundbreaking new research against the background of current debates and is designed as a readable survey accessible in particular to undergraduates and non-specialists.

Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Politics

Edited by Marguerite Deslauriers McGill University, MontrĂŠal and Pierre DestrĂŠe UniversitĂŠ Catholique de Louvain, Belgium

One of the most influential works in the history of political theory, Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Politics is a treatise in practical philosophy, intended to inform legislators and to create the conditions for virtuous and self-sufficient lives for the citizens of a state. In this Companion, distinguished scholars offer new perspectives on the work and its themes. After an opening exploration of the relation between Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethics and his politics, the central chapters follow the sequence of the eight books of the Politics, taking up questions such as the role of reason in legitimizing rule, the common good, justice, slavery, private property, citizenship, democracy and deliberation, unity, conflict, law and authority, and education. The closing chapters discuss the interaction between Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political thought and contemporary democratic theory. The volume will provide a valuable resource for those studying ancient philosophy, classics, and the history of political thought.

This book investigates how varying practices of gender shaped people’s lives and experiences across the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. The survey draws on a wide range of archaeological, material, cultural, visual, spatial, demographic, epigraphical and literary evidence to consider households, families, life-cycles and the engendering of time, legal and political institutions, beliefs about bodies, sex and sexuality, gender and space, the economic implications of engendered practices, and gender in religion and magic. 2013 197pp 978-0-521-55739-9 £18.99 PB 978-0-521-55318-6 £50.00 HB See other available formats at: www.cambridge.org/9780521557399 BL

Key Themes in Ancient Philosophy Key Themes in Ancient PhilosoPhy

David Wolfsdorf

this is the first title in a new series, Key themes in Ancient philosophy, which will provide concise books, written by major scholars and accessible to non-specialists, on important themes in ancient philosophy which remain of philosophical interest today. in this book, professor Gerson explores ancient accounts of the nature of knowledge and belief, from the presocratics up to the platonists of late antiquity. He argues that ancient philosophers generally held a naturalistic view of knowledge as well as of belief. Hence, knowledge was not viewed as a stipulated or semantically determined type of belief but was rather a real or objectively determinable achievement. in fact, its attainment was identical with the highest possible cognitive achievement, namely wisdom. it was this naturalistic view of knowledge at which the ancient sceptics took aim. the book concludes by comparing the ancient naturalistic epistemology with some contemporary versions.

LLOYD GERSON is professor of philosophy at the University of toronto. He has published widely on ancient philosophy including most recently Aristotle and Other Platonists (2005) and Knowing Persons. A Study in Plato (2004).

The age of Augustus, commonly dated to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; , was a pivotal period in world history. A time of tremendous change in Rome, Italy, and throughout the Mediterranean world, many key developments were under way when Augustus took charge, and a recurring theme is the role that he played in shaping their direction. captures the dynamic and richness of this era by examining important aspects of political and social history, religion, literature, and art and architecture. The sixteen essays, written by distinguished specialists from the United States and Europe, explore the multi-faceted character of the period and the interconnections among social, religious, political, literary, and artistic developments. Introducing the reader to many of the central issues of the Age of Augustus, the essays also break new ground and will stimulate further research and discussion.

This book is a controversial new biography of the apostle Paul that argues for his inclusion in the pantheon of key figures of classical antiquity, along with the likes of Socrates, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and Augustus. It considers the legend that developed around Paul as the history of his life was elaborated and embellished by later interpreters, arguing that the rewriting of Paul’s history into legend makes him a key transformative figure of classical antiquity. 2012 220pp 978-0-521-75780-5 £17.99 PB 978-0-521-76764-4 £52.00 HB

THE STORY OF AN ANCIENT LIFE

Thomas R. Martin College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts Christopher W. Blackwell Furman University, South Carolina

“An elegant, accessible, and thoughtful introduction to the life of one of history’s most important and most controversial figures. Bravo to Martin and Blackwell,, for bringing so much scholarship to bear and for wearing it so lightly.” – Barry Strauss, Cornell University

Everything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources, which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than everyday mortals. This book explains who Alexander was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new “mixed” nature combining the human and the divine. “Martin and Blackwell, have produced a wonderful new view of one of the most fascinating figures from the historical record. Their clear, lively narrative style allows them not only to bring Alexander and his world to life but to integrate a great deal of critical analysis with a very light touch. This is a must-read for anyone interested in Alexander the Great, and every instructor covering Alexander in class should start with this new book.” – Gregory Crane, Tufts University

THOMAS R. MARTIN is the Jeremiah W. O’Connor Jr. Professor in Classics at the College of the Holy Cross

in Worcester, Massachusetts. He is the author of Ancient Greece and (with Ivy Sui-yuen) Herodotus and Sima Qian.

CHRISTOPHER W. BLACKWELL is the Louis G. Forgione University Professor of Classics at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. He is the author of In the Absence of Alexander: Harpalus and the Failure of Macedonian Authority and (with Amy Hackney Blackwell) Mythology for Dummies.

Canto is a paperback imprint which offers a broad range of titles, both classic and more recent, representing some of the best and most enjoyable of Cambridge publishing.

Waldemar Heckel The Conquests of Alexander the Great In this book, Waldemar Heckel traces the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history. In 325 BCE, Alexander and his conquering army prepared to return home, after overcoming everything in their path: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably hostile. Little did they know that within two years their beloved king would be dead and their labours seemingly wasted. Tracing the rise and eventual fall of one of the most successful military commanders in history, Heckel engagingly, and with great detail, shows us how Alexander earned his appellation, The Great.

“Very few political leaders in history have been called ‘great’: the challenging biography of Alexander written by Martin and Blackwell delineates the universe of values, ideals, and dreams of the greatest – according to Napoleon Bonaparte – of the greats. Especially addressed to general readers, but also very stimulating for specialists.” – Prof. Virgilio Costa, University of Rome Tor Vergata

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

verything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources, which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than everyday mortals. From his birth into a hypercompetitive world of royal women through his training under the eyes and fists of stern soldiers and the piercing intellect of Aristotle; through friendships, rivalries, conquests, and negotiations; through acts of generosity and acts of murder, this book explains who Alexander was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new “mixed” nature combining the human and the divine. This book explains what made Alexander “Great” according to the people and expectations of his time and place and rejects modern judgments asserted on the basis of an implicit moral superiority to antiquity.

Richard Rutherford University of Oxford This is a revised version of the survey on Homer, providing a clear introduction to the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the problems of their dating, context and interpretation.

This is a revised and updated version of the survey on Homer which the author originally

published in 1996. It provides a wide variety of readers with a clear and reasonably detailed introduction to the Iliad and the Odyssey, and to the problems which arise in dating,

contextualizing, and interpreting these two epics, which are among the earliest poetic texts to come down to us from the ancient Greek world. A substantial introductory chapter

discusses the so-called Homeric Question, the question of the identity and origins of ‘Homer’. Among the important topics considered are the debate over oral composition, the structure, plot and themes of the two epics, and the religious and ethical ideas which figure in the

poems; also discussed are characterization, speeches, similes, symbolism and irony.

An extensive bibliography gives expert guidance on these and many other aspects of these extraordinary poems.

The main objective of Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy is to expand the range, variety, and quality of texts in the history of philosophy which are available in English. The series includes texts by familiar names (such as Descartes and Kant) and also by less wellknown authors. Wherever possible, texts are published in complete and unabridged form, and translations are specially commissioned for the series. Each volume contains a critical introduction together with a guide to further reading and any necessary glossaries and textual apparatus. The volumes are designed for student use at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and will be of interest not only to students of philosophy but also to a wider audience of readers in the history of science, the history of theology, and the history of ideas.

Eudemian Ethics

Designed for student use, the series Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy provides English editions of key texts in the history of philosophy with full textual apparatus. The series includes key texts of interest to scholars of ancient philosophy.

9/10/12

This book makes accessible one of Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important ethical works and provides new insight into the ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on virtue, happiness and the good life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of this greatest of moral philosophers. The volume offers a translation by Brad Inwood and Raphael Woolf that is both fluent and exact, and an introduction in which they help the reader to gain a deeper understanding both of the Eudemian Ethics and of its relation to the Nicomachean Ethics and to Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethical thought as a whole.

Eudemian Ethics

Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eudemian Ethics has been unjustly neglected in comparison with its more famous counterpart the Nicomachean Ethics. This is in large part due to the fact that until recently no complete translation of the work has been available. But the Eudemian Ethics is a masterpiece in its own right, offering valuable insights into Aristotleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas on virtue, happiness and the good life. This volume offers a translation by Brad Inwood and Raphael Woolf that is both fluent and exact, and an introduction in which they help the reader to gain a deeper understanding both of the Eudemian Ethics and of its relation to the Nicomachean Ethics and to Aristotle's ethical thought as a whole. The explanatory notes address Aristotle's many references to other works, people and events. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the history of ethics, ancient and moral philosophy, and Aristotle studies.

interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in the Mediterranean world during the archaic, classical and Hellenistic periods. instead of traditional and static distinctions between Greeks and others, kostas Vlassopoulos explores the diversity of interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in four parallel but interconnected worlds: the world of networks; the world of apoikiai (‘colonies’); the panhellenic world; and the world of empires. These diverse interactions set in motion processes of globalisation; but the emergence of a shared material and cultural koine across the Mediterranean was accompanied by the diverse ways in which Greek and nonGreek cultures adopted and adapted elements of this global koine. The book explores the paradoxical role of Greek culture in the processes of ancient globalisation, as well as the peculiar way in which Greek culture was shaped by its interaction with non-Greek cultures.

Antigone, Interrupted

Bonnie Honig is Nancy Duke Lewis Professor of Modern Culture and Media and Political Science at Brown University. She was formerly Sarah Rebecca Roland Professor in Political Science at Northwestern University and Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation, Chicago. She is an award-winning author whose work has been translated into numerous languages and is read by a wide interdisciplinary audience composed of scholars and researchers in political theory, philosophy, classics, gender studies, cultural studies, American studies, comparative literature, critical theory, media studies, law, and international relations.

Sophocles’ Antigone is a touchstone in democratic, feminist, and legal theory, possibly the most commented-upon play in the history of philosophy and political theory. From Hegel and Lacan through to Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, Peter Euben, Arlene Saxonhouse, Lee Edelman, Joan Copjec, Slavoj Žižek, and many more, interpreters turn to the play for instruction regarding issues such as civil disobedience, the clash between public and private, the hubris of sovereignty, and the politics of psychoanalysis, gender, sexuality, and mourning. Bonnie Honig’s rereading of the play thus intervenes in a host of literatures and unsettles many of their governing assumptions. References to the play and its heroine also circulate in contemporary political culture, featuring in discussions of Argentina’s Madres of the Plaza, West Germany’s response to the Baader-Meinhof group as depicted in the 1978 film Germany in Autumn, Butler’s theorization of “precarious life,” and recent work by others following 9/11 in political theory and cultural studies on mourning as a resource for a politics that rejects sovereignty. Analyzing the power of Antigone in these political, cultural, and theoretical contexts, Honig explores what she calls the “Antigone-effect,” which moves those who enlist the play from an activist politics that quests for sovereign power into a lamentational politics that bemoans the excesses of sovereign power.

Honig 9781107036970 Jacket. C M Y K

However, Honig argues, this effect can be overcome by way of a new reading of the Antigone. Read in historical context, and in dialogue with contemporary poltiical, literary, feminist, and queer theory, Sophocles’ great tragedy offers something more than a model for resistance politics or a mortalist humanism of “equal dignity in death.” Instead, Honig writes on behalf of an agonistic humanism: a politics of counter-sovereignty and solidarity which emphasizes equality in life.

Bonnie Honig Northwestern University, Illinois

‘Honig’s sweeping consideration of how the Antigone is read and misread offers us a new way to approach the pauses, the ellipses, and the frank interruptions that punctuate this classic text. We have all struggled so hard to make the words mean in this or that way that we have perhaps forgotten the more dramatic features of the text in which relationships rupture, words trail off, and events still language. This book offers a trenchant analysis of sovereignty, belonging, and freedom through a perspective at once dramatic, literary, and political. Honig’s sustained engagement with contemporary criticism shows how important the figure and text of Antigone is for any effort to think about the risks and the necessity of contestatory democratic culture.’ Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley

‘Bonnie Honig provides a stunning, capacious and intensely “political” reanimation of the Antigone.’ Simon Critchley, The New School for Social Research

‘Many books pride themselves on being “provocative” – but this is the real thing! Engaged and engaging, sophisticated and polemical, ‘Antigone, Interrupted’ interrupts the critical mainstream with real political urgency and edge.’ Simon Goldhill, King’s College, Cambridge

D ia n e J . R a yor

“A distinguished new Antigone – accessible, vivid, and authoritative. Rayor has managed to produce a version that is both a playable script for contemporary performance and a reliable guide to Sophocles’ text.” – Sheila Murnaghan, University of Pennsylvania

Euripides’ Medea comes alive in this new translation that will be useful for both academic study and stage production. Diane J. Rayor’s accurate yet accessible translation reflects the play’s inherent theatricality and vibrant poetry.

“Of the dozens of translations available, Diane Rayor’s new edition superbly serves both the academic community and theatre practitioners. Her text manages to strike a perfect balance between scholarly erudition and theatrical utility.” – Paige Newmark, Artistic Director, The Australian Shakespeare Festival “As someone who taught Antigone in university classrooms for over two decades, I relish the clarity, specificity, and passion of Diane Rayor’s new translation. The translator’s and director’s notes that accompany the play make this a unique and valuable addition to classrooms and stages.” – Jim Volz, California State University, Fullerton

Sophocles’ Antigone comes alive in this new translation that will be useful for both academic study and stage production. Diane J. Rayor’s accurate yet accessible translation reflects the play’s inherent theatricality. She provides an analytical introduction and comprehensive notes, and the edition includes an essay by director Karen Libman. Antigone begins after Oedipus and Jocasta’s sons have killed each other in a battle over the kingship. The new king, Kreon, decrees that the brother who attacked with a foreign army remain unburied and promises death to anyone who defies him. The play centers on Antigone’s refusal to obey Kreon’s law and Kreon’s refusal to allow her brother’s burial. Each acts on principle colored by gender, personality, and family history. Antigone poses a conflict between passionate characters whose extreme stances leave no room for compromise. The highly charged struggle between the individual and the state has powerful implications for ethical and political situations today.

D I A N E J. R AY O R is Professor of Classics at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. She has published three book-length translations of ancient Greek poetry: Homeric Hymns: A Translation, with Introduction and Notes (2004); Sappho’s Lyre: Archaic Lyric and Women Poets of Ancient Greece (1991), winner of the Columbia University Translation Center Merit Award in 1992; and, with Stanley Lombardo, Callimachus (1988). She also co-edited Latin Lyric and Elegiac Poetry (1995) and her translations appear in numerous anthologies.

History of Political Thought

Texts in the

Thucydides’ classic work is a foundational text in the history of Western political thought. His narrative of the great war between Athens and Sparta in the fifth century bc is now seen as a highly sophisticated study of the nature of political power itself: its exercise and effects, its agents and victims, and the arguments through which it is defended and deployed. It is therefore increasingly read as a text in politics, international relations and political theory, whose students will find in Thucydides many striking contemporary resonances. This edition seeks to present the author and the text in their proper historical context. The new translation is particularly sensitive to the risks of anachronism, and the notes and extensive reference material provide students with all the necessary historical, cultural and linguistic background they need to engage with the text on its own terms.

Edited and translated by Jeremy Mynott Wolfson College, Cambridge Thucydides’ classic work is a foundational text in the history of Western political thought. This new translation includes extensive reference material for nonspecialists, including maps, glossaries, biographies, chronological charts, notes and an appendix of ancient sources in translation.

his volume offers readers a unique and comprehensive overview of theoretical

perspectives on “the sublime,” the singular aesthetic response elicited by phenomena that

From Antiquity to the Present

move viewers by transcending and overwhelming them. The book consists of an editor’s introduction and fifteen chapters written from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Part One examines philosophical approaches advanced historically to account for the phenomenon, beginning with Longinus, moving through eighteenth and nineteenth-century writers in Britain, France, and Germany, and concluding with developments in contemporary continental philosophy. Part Two explores the sublime with respect to particular disciplines and areas of study viz., Dutch literature, early modern America, the environment, religion, British Romanticism, the fine arts, and architecture. Each chapter both is accessible for nonspecialists and offers an original contribution to its respective field of inquiry.

book on the subject as systematic and wide-ranging.” – Ronald Paulson, The Johns Hopkins University

“The Sublime: From Antiquity to the Present collects together an outstanding group of essays that will set the agenda for future studies of the sublime. It presents a superbly informed philosophical history of the category of the sublime from Longinus to postmodernism in the first part, and in the second a richly detailed thematic overview that demonstrates the continuing fascination of the sublime.”
