Ariagne
All she thought she ever wanted was freedom. Desperate for the chance to make her mark upon a world, Ariagne sneaks aboard the shuttle of the new justiciar of Elysion, intent on persuading him to accept her terraforming services in exchange for escape from her step-mother. All he thought he had was law and the dispensation of order. Aidoneus is used to being the rational one, the cold one. Serving as justiciar on an icy mining planet seems apropos for a man such as he. Turns out that wasn't the full truth for either of them. Together, they will discover that there can be joy to being bound, and that even the most logical of justiciars can fall to love. A re-telling of the myth of Hades and Persephone.
Oath and State in Ancient Greece
The oath was an institution of fundamental importance across a wide range of social interactions throughout the ancient Greek world, making a crucial contribution to social stability and harmony; yet there has been no comprehensive, dedicated scholarly study of the subject for over a century. This volume of a two-volume study explores how oaths functioned in the working of the Greek city-state (polis) and in relations between different states as well as between Greeks and non-Greeks.
A Seleukid Prosopography and Gazetteer
The Seleukid kingdom was one of the greatest states of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to India; it is also one of the least known. This reference work lists all the people whose names are known who lived in that kingdom, classifying them into rulers, officials and subjects, and in each case noting their activity. In addition all the foreigners whose lives affected the Seleukid state are listed. The Gazetteer lists the places which were included in the kingdom, classified as regions, including provinces and peoples, or settlements, whether cities or villages, with a description of their place in its history. In addition the institutions of the kingdom, the social and political glue which made it work, are noted and briefly described.

Die Verträge zwischen kretischen Poleis in der hellenistischen Zeit
Das hellenistische Kreta vermittelt das verwirrende Bild einer von standigen Kriegen erschutterten Insel. Ratlos standen die antiken Historiker diesem Phanomen gegenuber und behalfen sich mit der Erklarung, die standigen Kriege lagen in der Habgier und Treulosigkeit der Kreter begrundet. Spiegelbild der Beziehungen der kretischen Stadte zueinander und wichtigste Quelle fur die hellenistische Geschichte Kretas sind ihre rund 80 Staatsvertrage, die hier ediert, ubersetzt und kommentiert werden. Die Analyse ihrer Bestimmungen zeugt vom Bestreben der kretischen Poleis, Auswege aus einer Gesellschaftskrise zu finden, durch Expansion, Migration und wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit.
