Emma Stafford, "Personification in the Greek World: From Antiquity to Byzantium "

Personification, the anthropomorphic representation of any non-human thing, is a ubiquitous feature of ancient Greek literature and art. Natural phenomena (earth, sky, rivers), places (cities, countries), divisions of time (seasons, months, a lifetime), states of the body (health, sleep, death), emotions (love, envy, fear), and political concepts (victory, democracy, war) all appear in human, usually female, form. Some have only fleeting incarnations, others become widely-recognised figures, and others again became so firmly established as deities in the imagination of the community that they received elements of cult associated with the Olympian gods. Though often seen as a feature of the Hellenistic period, personifications can be found in literature, art and cult from the Archaic period onwards; with the development of the art of allegory in the Hellenistic period, they came to acquire more 'intellectual' overtones; the use of allegory as an interpretative tool then enabled personifications to survive the advent of Christianity, to remain familiar figures in the art and literature of Late Antiquity and beyond. The twenty-one papers presented here cover personification in Greek literature, art and religion from its pre-Homeric origins to the Byzantine period. Classical Athens features prominently, but other areas of both mainland Greece and the Greek East are well represented. Issues which come under discussion include: problems of identification and definition; the question of gender; the status of personifications in relation to the gods; the significance of personification as a literary device; the uses and meanings of personification in different visual media; personification as a means of articulating place, time and worldly power. The papers reflect the enormous range of contexts in which personification occurs, indicating the ubiquity of the phenomenon in the ancient Greek world.

Arrian the Historian: Writing the Greek Past in the Roman Empire
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1477321861 | 192 Pages | PDF (True) | 15 MB
During the first centuries of the Roman Empire, Greek intellectuals wrote a great many texts modeled on the dialect and literature of Classical Athens, some 500 years prior. Among the most successful of these literary figures were sophists, whose highly influential display oratory has been the prevailing focus of scholarship on Roman Greece over the past fifty years. Often overlooked are the period's historians, who spurned sophistic oral performance in favor of written accounts. One such author is Arrian of Nicomedia.

Anna Marmodoro, "The Reception of Greek Ethics in Late Antiquity and Byzantium"
English | ISBN: 1108833691 | 2021 | 300 pages | PDF | 1459 KB
Authored by an interdisciplinary team of experts, including historians, classicists, philosophers and theologians, this original collection of essays offers the first authoritative analysis of the multifaceted reception of Greek ethics in late antiquity and Byzantium (ca. 3rd-14th c.), opening up a hitherto under-explored topic in the history of Greek philosophy. The essays discuss the sophisticated ways in which moral themes and controversies from antiquity were reinvigorated and transformed by later authors to align with their philosophical and religious outlook in each period. Topics examined range from ethics and politics in Neoplatonism and ethos in the context of rhetorical theory and performance to textual exegesis on Aristotelian ethics. The volume will appeal to scholars and students in philosophy, classics, patristic theology, and those working on the history of education and the development of Greek ethics.

Ernst Badian - Studies in Greek and Roman History
Basil Blackwell Press | 1964 | ISBN: N/A | English | 296 pages | PDF | 9.35 MB
Great book, difficult to get, for the specialist of Greek and Roman history. Each chapter is unrelated to the others. Badian is simply taking issues that he wants to clarify and works on them, with no regards to actual chronology. Greek themes (Alexander the Great) and Roman themes (Sulla) are intermixed. Therefore you pick and choose which chapter and when to read it. I read it for the chapters on Greek history: Antiochus and Alexander the Great, and other Macedonian issues. Badian is one of these scholars that stresses the fact that the ancient Greeks did not accept the Macedonians as their kin, and he is correct on that in most respects, politically at least though not necessarily culturally (the religion, mythology and language tied the southern Greeks to the Macedonians as much as politics and different economic systems separated them). A great little book by a great Graeco-latinist.
