The Pontus of the nineteenth-century travellers
This book is about the Pontus as seen and described by Western travellers of the 19th century. The information offered by these travellers was examined in the process of determining on the map the route of the Retreat of the Ten Thousand, as narrated by Xenophon in his Anabasis. The problems associated with this determination are addressed in a book written in parallel with the present one (Iordanis Paradeisopoulos (2023), Xenophon’s Riddle. Also in Greek, Ιορδάνης Παραδεισόπουλος (2023), Ο γρίφος του Ξενοφώντος). Chapters from nine books are presented here. The books, written in English, are in chronological order those of Kinneir (1918), Porter ...
The Reception of Ancient Virtues and Vices in Modern Popular Culture
In Ancient Virtues and Vices in Modern Popular Culture, Eran Almagor and Lisa Maurice offer a comprehensive collection of chapters dealing with the reception of antiquity in popular media of the modern era (19th-21st centuries). These media include theatrical plays, cinematic representations, Television drama, popular newspapers or journals, poems and outdoor festivals. For the first time in Classical Reception Studies, ancient Jewish literature and imagery are included in the discussion. The focus of the volume is both the continuity and variance between ancient and modern sets of values, which appear in the new interpretations of the ancient stories, figures and protagonists.
Xenophon’s riddle
The book attempts to solve the riddle of Xenophon. The problem is threefold: Its main dimension is the determination of the route of the Retreat of “Myrioi” (Ten Thousand men) from the mountains of the Carduchians to Trapezus. The solution offered by the proposed route must be such that it satisfies the other two dimensions of the problem. On the one hand, to determine the dates of all events from the departure from Sardes to the battle at Cunaxa in Babylonia and the arrival at the Black Sea, in a way that leaves no gaps in the chronology. On the other hand, to determine all the distances in the total route (Sardes-Cunaxa-Black Sea) in agreement with the data provided by Xenophon himself. By satisfying all the above three dimensions of the problem, the solution of Xenophon's riddle will obviously also allow the determination of the distance in kilometres that the “Myrioi” travelled during their Anabasis and Retreat.
Ο γρίφος τού Ξενοφώντος
Στο βιβλίο επιχειρείται η επίλυση τού γρίφου τού Ξενοφώντος. Το πρόβλημα είναι τριπλό: Κύρια διάστασή του είναι ο προσδιορισμός τής διαδρομής τής Καθόδου των Μυρίων από τα όρη Καρδούχων μέχρι την Τραπεζούντα. Η λύση που θα προσφέρει η προτεινόμενη διαδρομή πρέπει να είναι τέτοια, ώστε να ικανοποιεί και τις άλλες δύο διαστάσεις τού προβλήματος. Αφενός να προσδιορίζει τις ημερομην...
Ο Πόντος των περιηγητών του 19ου αιώνα
Το βιβλίο αναφέρεται στον Πόντο, όπως τον είδαν και τον περιέγραψαν δυτικοί περιηγητές τού 19ου αιώνα. Ο λόγος για τον οποίο συγκεντρώθηκαν αυτές οι πληροφορίες ήταν για να προσδιοριστεί η διαδρομή τής Καθόδου των Μυρίων επί τού χάρτη, όπως την αφηγείται ο Ξενοφών στην Κύρου Ανάβαση. Τα προβλήματα που συνδέονται με αυτόν τον προσδιορισμό αντιμετωπίζονται σε βιβλίο που γράφτηκε πα...
Talking to Tyrants in Classical Greek Thought
Talking to Tyrants examines how Greek city-states of the fourth and fifth centuries BC with democratic systems of government such as Athens communicated with kings, tyrants and oligarchs, whose political structure and ideology wholly differed from their own.
Calatorie pe urmele conflictelor de langa noi
Cu fotografiile autoarei „Foarte puțini autori au reușit să creeze un gen nou într-o cultură. Cu trei cărți de călătorii, izvorâte din același proiect și alcătuind deja o operă. Cum poate fi definit în câteva cuvinte proiectul Sabinei Fati? Călătoria ca jurnalistă – neapărat de una singură – în lumi nebătute de alții. Călătorii cu risc, cât mai departe spre Est, acolo unde lumea nu se duce niciodată în vacanță și unde mentalitățile «lor» sunt în răspăr cu ale «noastre». Și unde geografia, istoria și politica s-au împletit în așa fel încât au pus pe lume chipuri nebănuite ale umanului. Cu ce anume se pleacă în astfel de călătorii? Nic...
