Download or read book Thucydides and the Philosophical Origins of History written by Darien Shanske and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-09 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the question of how and why history begins with the work of Thucydides. The History of the Peloponnesian War is distinctive in that it is a prose narrative, meant to be read rather than performed. It focuses on the unfolding of contemporary great power politics to the exclusion of almost all other elements of human life, including the divine. The power of Thucydides' text has never been attributed either to the charm of its language or to the entertainment value of its narrative, or to some personal attribute of the author. In this study, Darien Shanske analyzes the difficult language and structure of Thucydides' History and argues that the text has drawn in so many readers into its distinctive world view precisely because of its kinship to the contemporary language and structure of Classical Tragedy. This kinship is not merely a matter of shared vocabulary or even aesthetic sensibility. Rather, it is grounded in a shared philosophical position, in particular on the polemical metaphysics of Heraclitus.

Download or read book Terentia Tullia and Publilia written by Susan Treggiari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying references and writings in over 900 personal letters, an unparalleled source, this book presents a rounded and intriguing account of the three women who, until now, have only survived as secondary figures to Cicero. In a field where little is really known about Cicero’s family, Susan Treggiari creates a history for these figures who, through history, have not had voices of their own, and a vivid impression of the everyday life upper-class Roman women in Italy had during the heyday of Roman power. Artfully assembling a rounded picture of their personalities and experiences, Treggiari reconstructs the lives of these three important women: Cicero’s first wife Terentia: a strong, tempestuous woman of status and fortune, with an implacable desire to retain control of both his second wife Publilia: shadowy and mysterious, the young submissive who Cicero wedded to compensate for her predecessor’s steely resolve and fiery temper his daughter Tullia. Including illustrations, chronological charts, maps and glossaries, this book is essential reading for students wishing to get better acquainted with the women of ancient Rome.
Download or read book Popular Morality in the Early Roman Empire written by Teresa Morgan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-09 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morality is one of the fundamental structures of any society, enabling complex groups to form, negotiate their internal differences and persist through time. In the first book-length study of Roman popular morality, Dr Morgan argues that we can recover much of the moral thinking of people across the Empire. Her study draws on proverbs, fables, exemplary stories and gnomic quotations, to explore how morality worked as a system for Roman society as a whole and in individual lives. She examines the range of ideas and practices and their relative importance, as well as questions of authority and the relationship with high philosophy and the ethical vocabulary of documents and inscriptions. The Roman Empire incorporated numerous overlapping groups, whose ideas varied according to social status, geography, gender and many other factors. Nevertheless it could and did hold together as an ethical community, which was a significant factor in its socio-political success.
Download or read book D shonneur Et Honte en Latin written by Jean-François Thomas and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organise selon les methodes de l'analyse semique et de la semantique referentielle sans negliger les aspects stylistiques, litteraires et historiques, ce travail se propose d'etudier plusieurs substantifs designant le deshonneur et la honte pour expliciter leurs significations, decrire leurs relations de polysemie et leurs rapports synonymiques. Dedecus, turpitudo, flagitium et d'autres expriment plutot la disqualification du sujet en rupture avec la societe ou les reactions de la collectivite envers lui: scandale, injure, discredit, affront. Pudor et uerecundia, qui expriment peu le deshonneur, sont les termes courants pour la honte et denomment en meme temps le sentiment de l'honneur, selon une antonymie interne qui trouve son unite superieure dans l'idee de conscience morale. La semantique invite ainsi a reflechir sur le fonctionnement de la societe romaine, ou il s'agit d'etre digne de soi sous le regard des autres.

Download or read book Law and Crime in the Roman World written by Jill Harries and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was crime in ancient Rome? Was it defined by law or social attitudes? How did damage to the individual differ from offences against the community as a whole? This book explores competing legal and extra-legal discourses in a number of areas, including theft, official malpractice, treason, sexual misconduct, crimes of violence, homicide, magic and perceptions of deviance. It argues that court practice was responsive to social change, despite the ingrained conservatism of the legal tradition, and that judges and litigants were in part responsible for the harsher operation of justice in Late Antiquity. Consideration is also given to how attitudes to crime were shaped not only by legal experts but also by the rhetorical education and practices of advocates, and by popular and even elite indifference to the finer points of law.
