In his Histories, Herodotus of Halicarnassus gave an account of Xerxes’ invasion of Greece (480 BCE). Among the information in this work features a rich topography of the places visited by the army, as well as of the battlefields. Apparently there existed a certain demand among the Greeks to behold the exact places where they believed that the Greeks had fallen, gods had appeared, or Xerxes had watched over his men.This book argues that Herodotus’ topography, long taken at face value as if it provided unambiguous access to the historical sites of the war, may partly be a product of Greek imagination in the approximately fifty years between the Xerxes’ invasion and its publication, with the landscape functioning as a catalyst. This innovative approach leads to a new understanding of the topography of the invasion, and of the ways in which Greeks in the late fifth century BCE understood the world around them. It also prompts new suggestions about the real-world locations of various places mentioned in Herodotus’ text.

Ephorus of Cyme, who lived in the fourth century BC, is one of the most important historians of antiquity whose work has not survived and, according to Polybius, was the first to have written a universal history. His lost Histories are known from numerous 'fragments', that is, quotations by later authors such as Polybius, Diodorus, Strabo and Plutarch, among others. Through a study of these 'fragments' within their broader context, Giovanni Parmeggiani throws new light on the methodology of Ephorus and both the contents and the purpose of his work. By changing our perspective on a major Greek historian between Thucydides and Polybius, this book fills a significant gap in the field, and sets the basis for a new conception of the history of ancient Greek historiography and the Greek intellectual development in general.

Aristoxenus of Tarentum was reported to have been bitterly disappointed when Theophrastus was chosen instead of him to succeed Aristotle as the head of the Peripatetic School. He had a truly phenomenal output of some 453 volumes, most of which survive only in fragments. He was the most famous music theorist in antiquity and came to be referred to simply as "the musician." In addition, he was a founder of Greek biography and wrote the life histories of Pythagoras, Archytas, Socrates, and Plato among others. This volume includes eleven selections, which are almost evenly divided between his work in music theory and biography. There is a chapter on his general biographical method as well as chapters on his specific treatments of the Pythagoreans, Socrates, and Plato. There are chapters evaluating the extent to which Aristoxenus was a historian of music, his account of music therapy, his views on musical "character," the use of instruments and empiricism in his harmonic theory, and his relation to the "Neoclassical" Greek composers of the fourth century. This volume includes: "Did Aristoxenus Write Musical History?, " Andrew Barker; "Instruments and Empiricism in Aristoxenus' Elementa harmonica," David Creese; "Aristoxenus and Musical Ethos," Eleonora Rocconi; "Aristoxenus and Music Therapy: Fr. 26 Wehrli Within the Tradition on Music and Catharsis," Antonella Provenza; "Aristoxenus and the "Neoclassicists," Timothy Power; "Apollonius on Theophrastus on Aristoxenus," William W. Fortenbaugh; "Aristoxenus' Biographical Method," Stefan Schorn; "Aristoxenus and the Pythagoreans," Leonid Zhmud; "Aristoxenus' Life of Socrates," Carl A. Huffman; "Aristoxenus' Life of Plato," John Dillon; and "Aristoxenus and the Early Academy," Andrew Barker. Spanning close to three full decades, Transaction's Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities Series continues to pioneer in the field of classical studies.

A COMPANION TO THE ACHAEMENID PERSIAN EMPIRE A comprehensive review of the political, cultural, social, economic and religious history of the Achaemenid Empirem Often called the first world empire, the Achaemenid Empire is rooted in older Near Eastern traditions. A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire offers a perspective in which the history of the empire is embedded in the preceding and subsequent epochs. In this way, the traditions that shaped the Achaemenid Empire become as visible as the powerful impact it had on further historical development. But the work does not only break new ground in this respect, but also in the fact that, in addition to written testimonies of all kinds, it also considers material tradition as an equal factor in historical reconstruction. This comprehensive two-volume set features contributions by internationally-recognized experts that offer balanced coverage of the whole of the empire from Anatolia and Egypt across western Asia to northern India and Central Asia. Comprehensive in scope, the Companion provides readers with a panoramic view of the diversity, richness, and complexity of the Achaemenid Empire, dealing with all the many aspects of history, event history, administration, economy, society, communication, art, science and religion, illustrating the multifaceted nature of the first true empire. A unique historical account presented in its multiregional dimensions, this important resource deals with many aspects of history, administration, economy, society, communication, art, science and religion it deals with topics that have only recently attracted interest such as court life, leisure activities, gender roles, and more examines a variety of available sources to consider those predecessors who influenced Achaemenid structure, ideology, and self-expression contains the study of Nachleben and the history of perception up to the present day offers a spectrum of opinions in disputed fields of research, such as the interpretation of the imagery of Achaemenid art, or questions of religion includes extensive bibliographies in each chapter for use as starting points for further research devotes special interest to the east of the empire, which is often neglected in comparison to the western territories Part of the acclaimed Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World series, A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire is an indispensable work for students, instructors, and scholars of Persian and ancient world history, particularly the First Persian Empire.

The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides contains newly commissioned essays on Thucydides as an historian, thinker, and writer. It also features chapters on Thucydides' intellectual context and ancient reception. The creative juxtaposition of historical, literary, philosophical, and reception studies allows for a better grasp of Thucydides' complex project and its intellectual context, while at the same time providing a comprehensive introduction to the author's ideas. The volume is organized into four sections of papers: History, Historiography, Political Theory, and Context and Reception. It therefore bridges traditionally divided disciplines. The authors engaged to write the forty chapters for this volume include both well-known scholars and less well-known innovators, who bring fresh ideas and new points of view. Articles avoid technical jargon and long footnotes, and are written in an accessible style. Finally, the volume includes a thorough introduction prefacing each paper, as well as several maps and an up-to-date bibliography that will enable further study. The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides offers a comprehensive introduction to a thinker and writer whose simultaneous depth and innovativeness have been the focus of intense literary and philosophical study since ancient times.

Dal mondo omerico all’epoca dei tiranni, dalla democrazia ai rapporti con Roma: la nascita e l’evoluzione della cultura greca L’importanza della Grecia antica nello sviluppo della cultura mondiale è ben nota a tutti. Dall’arte alla letteratura, dalla politica alla storia militare, sono innumerevoli gli ambiti in cui i popoli greci hanno lasciato un’impronta indelebile. E proprio per questo, per quanto si possa studiarla, la storia greca riesce sempre a stupire con qualche perla nascosta. Fiorella Fiocca ripercorre le tappe dello sviluppo della cultura ellenica, dalle prime civiltà minoiche che abitarono Creta fino alla conquista della Grecia da parte di Roma. La rivalità tra Atene e Sparta, il secolo dei tiranni, la nascita e il declino dell’Egitto ellenistico, le conquiste di Alessandro Magno e molto altro: un viaggio straordinario alla scoperta di tutti gli aspetti di una delle civiltà più importanti della Storia. I personaggi e gli eventi che hanno caratterizzato la lunga e straordinaria storia greca Tra gli argomenti trattati: • Che vuol dire essere greco? • Mondo omerico, mondo miceneo: fra il mito e la storia • La comparsa della polis • I tiranni ad Atene • Leonida e i Trecento • Da Temistocle a Pericle • L’ascesa di Tebe • L’Italia greca di fronte all’Italia barbara • Alessandro sul trono • Roma conquista la Grecia, o la Grecia conquista Roma? Fiorella Fiocca È nata a Isernia nel 1995. Dopo la laurea in Filologia classica, si è specializzata nella divulgazione della storia antica, collaborando con associazioni del settore. Insegna discipline letterarie nella scuola secondaria.

Marco Bettalli, uno dei nostri più approfonditi conoscitori del fenomeno 'guerra' nel mondo antico e specialmente greco, ha scritto un importante libro che non si propone un (impossibile) racconto analitico di infinite vicende ma pone al centro la questione più importante: il rapporto, sul piano dell'etica di massa, del cittadino con la guerra. Luciano Canfora, "Corriere della Sera" Il libro di Bettalli potrebbe sembrare solo un affascinante racconto di scontri, battaglie, vittorie e stragi, magari accompagnato da riflessioni sulle cause politiche ed economiche dei conflitti. Non è così o, meglio, è anche così, ma soprattutto questo è un libro che 'pensa' la guerra antica. La pensa nelle sue motivazioni, nelle sue ideologie, nelle sue innumerevoli connessioni con la cultura e la società delle varie epoche in cui la guerra – unica vera grande costante in tutto il mondo antico – esercitò il suo funesto potere. Maurizio Bettini, "Robinson – la Repubblica" La guerra di Troia, le guerre persiane e del Peloponneso, l'epopea di Alessandro Magno, l'epica lotta di Annibale contro Roma. Nessun greco e nessun romano avrebbe mai potuto concepire un mondo senza guerre. Perché? Cosa voleva dire per un greco e un romano indossare l'armatura e scendere sul campo di battaglia?
