E-BooksNationalism as a Claim to a State The Greek Revolution of 1821 and the Formation of Modern Greece



Nationalism as a Claim to a State The Greek Revolution of 1821 and the Formation of Modern Greece
John Milios, "Nationalism as a Claim to a State: The Greek Revolution of 1821 and the Formation of Modern Greece "
English | ISBN: 9004533516 | 2023 | 272 pages | PDF | 1188 KB
In theorising on the causes, preconditions, dynamics and internal conflicts of the Greek Revolution of 1821, the analysis of Milios tackles the issue of bourgeois revolutions in general. Additionally, his investigation of the historical emergence and the limits of the Greek nation calls forth the broader theoretical and historical question of the economic, political, and ideological presuppositions of nation-building. The book illustrates how nationalism brings the masses to the political forefront, which the capitalist state then incorporates into its apparatuses as 'sovereign people'. Nationalism being enmeshed within the political element, consists the basis upon which irredentism develops, recruiting populations into the expansionist-imperialist strategies of the ruling classes.

E-BooksGods and Mortals in Early Greek and Near Eastern Mythology



Gods and Mortals in Early Greek and Near Eastern Mythology
Adrian Kelly, "Gods and Mortals in Early Greek and Near Eastern Mythology"
English | ISBN: 1108480241 | 2021 | 400 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This volume centres on one of the most important questions in the study of antiquity - the interaction between Greece and the Ancient Near East, from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic periods. Focusing on the stories that the peoples of the eastern Mediterranean told about the gods and their relationships with humankind, the individual treatments draw together specialists from both fields, creating for the first time a truly interdisciplinary synthesis. Old cases are re-examined, new examples discussed, and the whole range of scholarly opinions, past and present, are analysed, critiqued, and contextualised. While direct textual comparisons still have something to show us, the methodologies advanced here turn their attention to deeper structures and wider dynamics of interaction and influence that respect the cultural autonomy and integrity of all the ancient participants.

E-BooksEpiphanies and Dreams in Greek Polytheism Textual Genres and 'Reality' from Homer to Heliodorus



Epiphanies and Dreams in Greek Polytheism Textual Genres and 'Reality' from Homer to Heliodorus
Lipka, "Epiphanies and Dreams in Greek Polytheism: Textual Genres and 'Reality' from Homer to Heliodorus "
English | ISBN: 3110636360 | 2021 | 290 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
While modern students of Greek religion are alert to the occasion-boundedness of epiphanies and divinatory dreams in Greek polytheism, they are curiously indifferent to the generic parameters of the relevant textual representations on which they build their argument. Instead, generic questions are normally left to the literary critic, who in turn is less interested in religion. To evaluate the relation of epiphanies and divinatory dreams to Greek polytheism, the book investigates relevant representations through all major textual genres in pagan antiquity. The evidence of the investigated genres suggests that the 'epiphany-mindedness' of the Greeks, postulated by most modern critics, is largely an academic chimaera, a late-comer of Christianizing 19th-century-scholarship. It is primarily founded on a misinterpretation of Homer's notorious anthropomorphism (in the

E-BooksLesser and Anonymous Fragments of Greek Lyric Poetry A Commentary



Lesser and Anonymous Fragments of Greek Lyric Poetry A Commentary
Malcolm Davies, "Lesser and Anonymous Fragments of Greek Lyric Poetry: A Commentary"
English | ISBN: 0198860501 | 2021 | 400 pages | PDF | 15 MB
An authoritative commentary on the surviving fragments of Greek lyric poetry up to the death of Aristotle. No comparable work exists, partly because these fragments are usually small, textually corrupt and difficult to interpret. But they cast light on several aspects of Greek culture: for example, religion and prayer formulae (many of them take the form of hymns), the symposium (they include a collection of scolia), and the development of the so-called 'New School' of poetry and music. They also include fragments of poems by Telesilla and Praxilla, two of the rare band of female poets of antiquity other than Sappho, and Philoxenus'

How do ancient Greek myths find themselves retold and reinterpreted in cultures across the world, several millennia later?

Buxton traces these stories and archetypes from their ancient forms through their transformations over time in literature, art, cinema, psychology, and politics. Over their long lives, Greek myths have expressed a myriad of meanings.
