Odyssey of the Gods: The Alien History of Ancient Greece

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Von Dniken, Erich / Daniken, Erich / Von Daniken, Erich, PUBLISHER: Vega Books, Legendary UFO expert von Daniken stirs up another controversy with an imaginative supposition: What if the myths of ancient Greece were attempts to describe events that really happened? What if ancient peoples were visited, not by imaginary gods and goddesses, but by extraterrestrial beings who arrived on earth thousands of years ago? The author's research into both ancient mythology and current archaeological discoveries leads him to some explosive hypotheses. He suggests that the best explanation of such creatures as centaurs and Cyclops, as well as stories about the lost continent of Atlantis and wars among the deities, may be efforts by artists of the times to record never-before-seen phenomena. Dozens of color photos depicting ancient sculptures and temple decorations document a variety of hitherto unexplained objects which, von Daniken points out, look surprisingly similar to equipment used by today's astronauts. Could these be long-lost secrets, being rediscovered by scientists today?

Olympia: Warrior Athletes of Ancient Greece

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kennett, David, PUBLISHER: Walker & Company, In the eighth century B.C. the city-states of Greece were in a constant state of war, until King Iphitus stopped the bloodshed by reviving an ancient tradition -- an athletic contest to honor the gods. A truce was declared, so the warring groups could come together in peace to compete at the sacred grove at Olympia. Those games would survive for hundreds of years, becoming the inspiration for our modern Olympic Games. The site of Olympia will forever be revered as the birthplace of a great tradition that still unites the world in the spirit of peace and athletic competition. With spectacular illustrations, Olympia revisits those early games -- the holy rituals, the chariot racing and equestrian events, the ancient pentathlon, the wrestling, the boxing -- all the skills of war that readily developed into the challenge of sport. Dyan Blacklock and David Kennett bring to life the sights, sounds and excitement of this age-old, sacred tradition.

Greece: Land of Light

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gage, Nicholas / Brukoff, Barry, PUBLISHER: Bulfinch Press, Greece is a legendary destination, and anyone who has once fallen under its spell dreams of returning again and again. Here is a marvelous record of this enchanting land, portraying the essence of Greece -- its striking sea and landscape, its peoples, its culture and history, and its ancient monuments. From the tip of the Peloponnese to the remote mountain villages of the far north to the islands of the Aegean, Brukoff's brilliant color images and Gage's evocative words capture the heart of Greece. Included are the great classical ruins, Byzantine monasteries, colorful fishing villages, chairs at outdoor tavernas, octopus drying in the sun like laundry, and the ubiquitous cats -- the vivid details that each traveler takes home as a memory. Gage's essays on the turbulent history of the country, its myths and beliefs, life in the villages, the age-old wisdom and spirit of the Greek people, and, above all, "Greece's unearthly, spiritual, almost holy light" are a passionate tribute to an extraordinary country.

Silent Urns: Romanticism, Hellenism, Modernity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferris, David, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, The study of Greece as an icon of culture appears to be as old as Greece itself, as if, like Pallas Athene springing from the head of Zeus, its cultural significance had attained full maturity at birth. In "Silent Urns, " the author reveals how Greece attained such significance as the result of the attempt to reconcile individuality, freedom, history, and modernity in eighteenth-century aesthetics. He argues that Winckelmann's "History of Ancient Art" () produced this reconciliation by developing a concept of culture that effectively defined our modern understanding of the term, as well as our sense of what it is to be modern. From this reconciliation, Greece emerges as the form in which culture is first conceptualized as a historically and politically defined category. In readings of works by Keats, Schelling, Aeschylus, Shelley, and Holderlin, the author studies different aspects of Winckelmann's conceptualization of culture as it passes into Romantic Hellenism. Through these readings--in which individuality, identity, freedom, the tragic, and memory are all discussed--the book demonstrates how Romanticism took issue with the legacy of Greece that emerged in the eighteenth century, and did so in the name of a freedom that our cultural modernity no longer recalls.

Sources for Ancient History

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Crawford, Michael H., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, If a scholar wishes to create a picture of a topical society in all its aspects, there is little of what he needs to know that he cannot know, although there may still be much that he cannot understand. For the history of Greece and Rome, there is a great deal that is simply unknowable. From the end of the archaic age of Greece, there is an unbroken sequence of works by Greek and, later, Roman historians down to the end of antiquity. Their vision and range of interest were often limited and much of what they produced has been lost. Some help may be derived from the documentary material supplied in antiquity, material that was the product of officials organising public activities, or heads of families organising their affairs, or individuals leaving their mark on the world. Beyond this, the evidence of archaeology and numismatics may also be helpful. The four essays in this book set out to characterise the nature of the ancient literary tradition, the inscriptional material, the archaeological and numismatic evidence and to explain how and for what purposes they may be used.
