Introduction to Ancient History
Our translation is made especially for students who have not yet acquired facility in German. It departs from Professor Bengtson's text mainly in that the general bibliographical appendix has been reorganized to conform with the plan of the Cambridge Ancient History and also has been revised with the English-reading student in mind.
Elisabeth Charlotte Welskopf und die Alte Geschichte in der DDR
Die Hallenser Konferenz w�hlte eine doppelte Ann�herung an die Fragestellung, welche Rolle die Alte Geschichte bei der Herrschaftslegitimation der SED durch die Geschichtswissenschaft gespielt hat: einmal ueber das Fach selbst und andermal ueber Fachvertreter. Hier stand Elisabeth Charlotte Welskopf als die international bekannteste Althistorikerin der DDR im Zentrum. Die Beitr�ge im einzelnen sind folgenden Themenfeldern zugeordnet: - Die Alte Geschichte im Dritten Reich, in der UdSSR und in der DDR (unter Beruecksichtigung des Geschichtsunterrichtes), mit den Fallbeispielen der Universit�ten Jena, Halle und Leipzig (R. Guenther) - Antike Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft und die marxistisch-leninistische Formationstheorie, mit einem Rueckblick auf die Debatte der asiatischen Produktionsweise - Elisabeth Charlotte Welskopf: Schriftstellerin (Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich) und Althistorikerin und ihre Wirkung, mit einem Beitrag ueber ihre Indianerbuecher (u.a. �Die S�hne der Gro�en B�rin�). .
Classical Bearings
In this collection of sixteen literary and historical essays, Peter Green informs, entertains, and stimulates. He covers a wide range of subjects, from Greek attitudes toward death to the mysteries of the Delphic Oracle, from Tutankhamun and the gold of Egypt to sex in ancient literature, from the island of Lesbos (where he once lived) to the challenges of translating Ovid's wit and elegant eroticism into present-day English verse, from Victorian pederastic aesthetics to Marxism's losing battle with ancient history. This third volume of Green's essays (several previously unpublished) reveals throughout his serious concern that we are, in a very real sense, losing the legacy of antiquity thro...
The Scrolls and Biblical Traditions
Recent Dead Sea Scrolls research pays much attention to the question which texts were seen as scriptures, in which forms scriptures as well as scriptural traditions were transmitted, how the scrolls can illuminate the gradual move from authoritative scriptural texts to canon, and which different kinds of scriptural interpretation are attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This volume contains twelve essays read at the seventh meeting of the International Organization for Qumran Studies that address these questions either broadly, or in relation to specific texts.
Nomodeiktes
Fascinating discussions of fifth-century Athens and its modern interpretation
Corrupting Luxury in Ancient Greek Literature

Herodotean Soundings
This volume is dedicated to the logos of Cambyses at the beginning of Book 3 in Herodotus' Histories, one of the few sources on the Persian conquest of Egypt that has not yet been exhaustively explored in its complexity. The contributions of this volume deal with the motivations and narrative strategies behind Herodotus' characterization of the Persian king but also with the geopolitical background of Cambyses' conquest of Egypt as well as the reception of the Cambyses logos by later ancient authors. "Herodotean Soundings: The Cambyses Logos" exemplifies how a multidisciplinary approach can contribute significantly to a better understanding of a complex work such as Herodotus' Histories.
In Blood and Ashes
"In In Blood and Ashes: Curse Tablets and Binding Spells in Ancient Greece, Jessica Lamont provides the first historical study of the development and dissemination of ritualized curse practice in the ancient Greek world, alongside that of binding spells, incantations, and other private rites. Documenting the cultural pressures that drove the practice of ancient Greek magic, this book reveals the ways in which individuals worked to negotiate with the world (here in the literal sense) "underground"-conjuring the powers of the Underworld, and calling upon the dead to assist the living. The study of such rituals expands our understanding of daily life in ancient communities, providing rare insig...
Essays on Judaism in the Pre-Hellenistic Period
In der Reihe Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) erscheinen Arbeiten zu sämtlichen Gebieten der alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft. Im Zentrum steht die Hebräische Bibel, ihr Vor- und Nachleben im antiken Judentum sowie ihre vielfache Verzweigung in die benachbarten Kulturen der altorientalischen und hellenistisch-römischen Welt. Die BZAW akzeptiert Manuskriptvorschläge, die einen innovativen und signifikanten Beitrag zu Erforschung des Alten Testaments und seiner Umwelt leisten, sich intensiv mit der bestehenden Forschungsliteratur auseinandersetzen, stringent aufgebaut und flüssig geschrieben sind.
