Vessels and Variety
Addressing topics of production and distribution, iconography, regional studies, and museum collections, this volume sheds new and important light on perspectives in the fields of ancient pottery studies. The articles, substantial and well-illustrated, cover a wide span of time from the Geometric period and into the Roman period, including new results and material from excavations as well as new methodological approaches. The range of vessels and their varieties discussed include Campana A pottery from the southern Levant and the Black Sea areas; Oinotrian-Euboian pottery in a sanctuary context in Timpone della Motta near Sybaris in the Middle to Late Geometric periods; Early Proto Corinthia...
Johannes Wiedewelt
In the latter half of the 18th century, Johannes Wiedewelt (1731-1802) played a pivotal role in introducing an early form of Neoclassicism into Danish sculpture by creating a large number of monuments for many different purposes. In the 1750s, he studied in Paris and Rome, where he became part of an international network of pioneering artists and scholars, including J.J. Winckelmann. In Denmark, Wiedewelt endeavored to translate the ancient idiom in statuary and monuments into an 'eternal' national monument style. This volume reassesses Wiedewelt's role in the service of art, art theory, academic education, design, etc. Special emphasis is placed on his studies of Classical Antiquity and Danish prehistoric and medieval monuments, which makes him particularly interesting for the history of archaeology. This is the first book-length study of Johannes Wiedewelt in English.
Urbanization in the Mediterranean in the 9th to 6th Centuries BC
This volume from the "Acta Hyperborea" series of archaeological studies covers the topic of urbanization in the Mediterranean in the 9th to 6th centuries BC. "Acta Hyperborea" is a periodical by a group of classical archaeologists associated with Danish universities and museums. Although primarily a journal of classical archaeology, it also covers other fields in classical scholarship. One of the main objectives of the periodical is the interdisciplinary approach to promote a dialogue between historians, philologists and archaeologists.

Friendship and Otherness in Lucian’s ›Toxaris‹
In Lucian’s Toxaris, the characters’ speeches play a performative role as they become their deeds of friendship. Between irony and (self-)othering, past and present, the dialogue negotiates a mixed form of identity by affirming a Hellenocentric position and deconstructing an Athenocentric per-spective on Greek culture. Eventually, both aspects converge, as the characters’ ability to make speeches on friendship displays their mastery of Greekness. This book, itself a hybrid of commentary and monograph, consists of an introduction, which con-textualises the dialogue in its cultural, philosophical, and literary background; the Greek text with textual critical notes, followed by an English...
Et klassisk kalejdoskop
Antikken har altid vAeret godt stof - fra Shakespeares Julius CAesar og Titus Andronicus til Hollywoodfilm som Gladiator og Alexander. Og med god grund: Middelhavsomradets civilisationer er afgorende for forstaelsen af vores rodder, ikke mindst i en tid med globalisering. ArkAeologien er en central - nogle gange den eneste - kilde til viden om fortiden. Et klassisk kalejdoskop tegner et billede af, hvad klassisk arkAeologi beskAeftiger sig med i begyndelsen af et nyt artusinde. I antologien findes alt fra potteskar til forsog pa at opridse storre historiske perspektiver. FAelles for alle bidrag er imidlertid en undren. En undren over, hvordan verden engang hang sammen, og hvordan den stadig gor det. Det arkAeologiske basisarbejde forbliver det samme, men med skiftende tider kommer mere finmaskede metoder, nye teorier og sporgsmal til det arkAeologiske kildemateriale - og ikke mindst helt nye forskningsfelter.
