In the Ancient World death came - on average - at a far earlier age than in today's West, and without the authoritative warnings given by modern medicine. Consolation for the trauma of loss had, accordingly, a more prominent role to play. This volume presents eight original studies on consolatory writings from ancient Greek, Roman, early Christian and Arabic societies.

The term colonization encompasses much diversity, from the settlement of the western Mediterranean and the Black Sea by Greeks in the archaic period to the foundation of Roman colonies in mainland Italy during the Republic. Though very different in their motives and methods, both Greek and Roman colonizations are presented by our sources as organized and clearly defined processes, within which internal and external relations were firmly delineated.

Laura Swift, "Greek Tragedy: Themes and Contexts (Classical World)"
English | ISBN: 1474236839 | 2016 | EPUB | 144 pages | 3 MB
The latest volume in the Classical World series, this book offers a much-needed up-to-date introduction to Greek tragedy, and covers the most important thematic topics studied at school or university level. After a brief analysis of the genre and main figures, it focuses on the broader questions of what defines tragedy, what its particular preoccupations are, and what makes these texts so widely studied and performed more than 2,000 years after they were written. As such, the book will be of interest to students taking broad courses on Greek tragedy, while also being suitable for the general reader who wants an overview of the subject.

D. L. Cairns, "Body Language in the Greek and Roman Worlds"
English | ISBN: 1905125011 | 2005 | 300 pages | PDF | 2 MB
A distinguished international cast of scholars discusses models of gesture and non-verbal communication as they apply to Greek and Roman culture, literature and art. Topics include dress and costume in the Homeric poems; the importance of looking, eye-contact, and face-to-face orientation in Greek society; the construction of facial expression in Greek and Roman epic; the significance of gesture and body language in the visual meaning of ancient sculpture; the evidence for gesture and performance style in the texts of ancient drama; the erotic significance of feet and footprints; and the role of gesture in Roman law. The volume seeks to apply a sense of history as well as of theory in interpreting non-verbal communication. It looks both at the cross-cultural and at the culturally specific in its treatment of this important but long-neglected aspect of Classical Studies.

English | 2021 | ASIN: B08T4884D5, B08T6SC4DP | EPUB | pages: 137 | 1.0 mb
This book describes the evolution of abstract geometric ideas. This is not a packaged summary, but instead a journey of creative discovery that will inspire readers. It highlights the major Greek geometers and their works. Instead of being a chronology of events, this book gives a chronology of people with a sequence of biographies focused on their contributions to geometry. This makes the flow of Greek discoveries between individuals and the evolution of geometry more transparent.
