Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together new and original work by forty two of the world's leading scholars of Indo-European comparative philology and linguistics from around the world. It shows the breadth and the continuing liveliness of enquiry in an area which over the last century and a half has opened many unique windows on the civilizations of the ancient world. The volume is a tribute to Anna Morpurgo Davies to mark her retirement as the Diebold Professor of Comparative Philology at the University of Oxford. The book's six parts are concerned with the early history of Indo-European (Part I); language use, variation, and change in ancient Greece and Anatolia (Parts II and III); the Indo-European languages of Western Europe, including Latin, Welsh, and Anglo-Saxon (Part IV); the ancient Indo-Iranian and Tocharian languages (Part V); and the history of Indo-European linguistics (Part VI). Indo-European Perspectives will interest scholars and students of Indo-European philology, historical linguistics, classics, and the history of the ancient world.

Download or read book An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis written by Mogens Herman Hansen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-11 with total page 1413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever documented study of the 1,035 identifiable Greek city states (poleis) of the Archaic and Classical periods (c.650-325 BC). Previous studies of the Greek polis have focused on Athens and Sparta, and the result has been a view of Greek society dominated by Sophokles', Plato's, and Demosthenes' view of what the polis was. This study includes descriptions of Athens and Sparta, but its main purpose is to explore the history andorganization of the thousand other city states.The main part of the book is a regionally organized inventory of all identifiable poleis covering the Greek world from Spain to the Caucasus and from the Crimea to Libya. This inventory is the work of 47 specialists, and is divided into 46 chapters, each covering a region. Each chapter contains an account of the region, a list of second-order settlements, and an alphabetically ordered description of the poleis. This description covers such topics as polis status,territory, settlement pattern, urban centre, city walls and monumental architecture, population, military strength, constitution, alliance membership, colonization, coinage, and Panhellenic victors.The first part of the book is a description of the method and principles applied in the construction of the inventory and an analysis of some of the results to be obtained by a comparative study of the 1,035 poleis included in it. The ancient Greek concept of polis is distinguished from the modern term `city state', which historians use to cover many other historic civilizations, from ancient Sumeria to the West African cultures absorbed by the nineteenth-century colonializingpowers. The focus of this project is what the Greeks themselves considered a polis to be.

Download or read book HAK written by Hagar Lane and published by Lane. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HAK is a historical fantasy novel composed of two books. “HAK - The birth of the Drascos” is the first book. The second book, "HAK - Sapere aude", will be published in 2021. The Kingdoms, populated by free men, disappear one after another, giving way to the Drascos, made of masters and slaves. When a Kingdom strays from the path of virtue, evil appears. This manifests as an enormous Dark Cloud, a horrendous monster with six heads which destroys a Kingdom every full moon, so that a Drasco can take its place. It falls to Hak, a woman errant knight, to attempt to destroy evil, fighting against Lucas, a Governor of the Kingdom of Fools who wants to transform the House of Hides into a Drasco. Lucas is convinced that “possessing people” is the only possible way to become rich quickly without having to be accountable to anyone. And it is governors like Lucas who make the Dark Cloud appear in the sky, because a Drasco cannot become a reality if before it is not born in the heart of a king.

Download or read book Fragmented Memory written by Nicoletta Bruno and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chance, in addition to the unavoidable ambiguity caused by time, is one of the main guilty parties in the transmission of ancient texts – or lack thereof. However, the same cannot be said for what concerns the mechanisms of selection and loss of historical and literary memory, where the voluntary awareness of obscuring is often part of a precise aim, thus leading the cultural memory of a literate society to become fragmented. The present volume explores the devices and criteria of selection and loss in Ancient and Medieval texts and the subsequent fragmentation of such literature, but it also addresses the questions of the damnatio memoriae, of literary strategies such as reticence and omission, as well as of known texts deemed lost but re-found thanks to state-of-the-art methods in digitization. The many and diverse nuances of the concepts of omission, selection, and loss throughout Ancient and Medieval literature and history are illustrated through a number of case studies in the four sections of this volume, each examining a different facet of the topic: ‘Mechanisms and criteria of textual loss and selection’, ‘Lost texts re-discovered’, ‘Voluntary omissions and desire for oblivion’, and ‘Re-working the known’.
