Imprint: Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1998 'This volume brings together essays by archaeologists, historians, and literary scholars in a comprehensive examination of the Greek archaic age. A time of dramatic and revolutionary change when many of the institutions and thought patterns that would shape Greek culture evolved, this period has become the object of renewed scholarly interest in recent years. Yet it has resisted reconstruction, largely because its documentation is less complete than that of the classical period. In order to read the text of archaic Greece, the contributors here apply new methods--including anthropology, literary theory, and cultural history--to central issues, among them the interpretation of ritual, the origins of hero cult and its relation to politics, the evolving ideologies of colonization and athletic victory, the representation of statesmen and sages, and the serendipitous development of democracy. With their interdisciplinary approaches, the various essays demonstrate the interdependence of politics, religion, and economics in this period; the importance of public performance for negotiating social interaction; and the creative use of the past to structure a changing present. Cultural Poetics in Ancient Greece offers a vigorous and coherent response to the scholarly challenges of the archaic period.

Imprint: New York, Tor., 2003 Fantasy fiction with elements of Greek mythology (Starts with Theseus in the Labyrinth, through the Trojan war to Brutus in Albion) "Ancient Greece - A place where the gods hold mortal lives cheap, mere playthings to amuse, delight, and abuse at their will. But those puny mortals are not wholly devoid of power, for at the cores of their fabulous city-states lie the Labyrinths, where they can shape the powers of the heavens to their own design. When Theseus entered the Labyrinth and came away with the prize of freedom and his beloved Ariadne, Mistress of the Labyrinth, his future seemed assured. until he abandoned her for the unforgivable sin of bearing him only a daughter, and the world changed. From that day forward, all the Labyrinths in the ancient world started to decay.". Book. Book Condition: New. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: New Stock number: 045362. ISBN: 0765305402

Imprint: Athens, Kedros (Modern Greek Writers), 1997 My father, thunderstruck, was demanding to know: "But when? This is madness! Impossible." When at last he replaces the receiver in a grand Shakespearean manner - my father has it in the blood - he broke the news to us: Dictatorship. My mother cried out and collapsed in a heap on the sofa. Calliope the maid, as part of her duties, always manages to sense the right moment for a restorative coffee, and set off for the kitchen. My father repeated: "Dictatorship, do you hear!" I stared at him, shaking off sleep.This is how Myrsini Panayotou, an Athenian girl about to start university, learns of the coup d'etat that brought to power the infamous dictatorship of the "Colonels" in her country in the early hours of Friday, 21st April 1967. The child of a well-to-do family, Myrsini enthusiastically joins the underground resistance, making common cause with a varied cast of characters from backgrounds very different from her own. After an early failed love affair, she gets engaged to George, a political prisoner, only to find her human instincts increasingly difficult to reconcile with her idealistic philosophy once he is released. The story moves towards its climax as Myrsini becomes involved in the bloody events of 17th November 1973, when tanks were used to evict students from the Athens Polytechnic. At the same time the fortunes of Myrsini's family form a backdrop at once touching and bizarre to an impressionable girl's unflinching search for a true identity, both for herself and for her country."Fool's Gold" is a sparkling novel by a talented writer, one of the foremost of a generation which grew up in the shadow of the events Maro Douka describes..

Imprint: Toronto, Key Porter Books, 1998 "...tells the colourful, upstairs/downstairs saga of two remarkable, unsung women of the Edwardian era, whose lives would intersect in Canada at that era's precipitous end. While the ninth Duchess of Devonshire and her cook were born to as different destinies as can be imagined, those destinies were forged in a singular historical moment. These were the last, golden days of Empire, remembered as much for their splendour and pageantry as for utter obliteration in the First World War. In this, la belle epoque, Ritz and Escoffier would reinvent magnificently the trappings of leisure, while women would attempt to reinvent the sexual hierarchy. This was the social and political backdrop in which Evelyn Lansdowne and Dorothea Mary Lee would find themselves..."345p. plates. bibliography.index. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover.

Imprint: Milan, Nagard Publishers, 1976 Iosif Constantin Dragan .. was a Romanian and Italian businessman, writer, historian and [billionaire] also a publisher."According to historian Lucian Boia, Dragan promoted an extreme version of protochronism, which claimed that the Romania was the cradle of civilization, and the Romanian people the oldest in Europe: As the author of We, the Thracians (1976) and editor of the periodical of the same title (Noi, tracii) that was launched in 1974, he was the leading figure of an entire movement aimed at amplifying the role of the Thracians in European history, a movement supported by all sorts of amateurs (even a lawyers' group!) but also by some less than scrupulous professionals (among them the archaeologists Dumitru Berciu and Ion Horatiu Crisan)... to claim that the ancestors of the Romanians lived 100,000 years ago, eloquent proof that the Romanian people is the oldest in the continent, if not in the world. As for the extent of the Thracians' territory, Dragan generously allows them almost half of Europe, centered, evidently, on the present-day space of Romania" Note : Volume I ONLY.274p. plates maps.

Imprint: Athens, Athens News, 2005 Greece's economic history reflects the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunate that have bedevilled the country ever since it became independent in 1832. The road to development has been full of pitfalls such as coups, one fully fledged civil war, several Balkan wars, two World Wars, one devastating occupation, one global crisis, and two outright bankruptcies. These have endowed Greeks with a sense of insecurity of varying intensity. This has led to a deep-rooted conservatism in national economic planning and deep-seated protectionism on the part of industry and workers. The result is an inflexibility in the face of changing market demands that has, for many years, prevented liberalization and reform. Mark Dragoumis has been observing Greek affairs both from inside the government and as a journalist since the 1940s. His informative and compelling account explains economic developments in the light of political ones.111p.illus.. Book. Book Condition: New. Binding: Soft cover Stock number: 041325. ISBN: 9608639565
