We’re happy to send you a summary of the differing conditions and prices we may have for the same title. DESCRIPTION: Softcover: 335 pages. Publisher: Penguin Books; 1978) The acknowledged master of Greek comedy. Aristophanes brilliantly combines serious political satire with bawdiness, pyrotechnical bombast with delicate lyrics. Aristophanes(447-385 B.C. a contemporary of Socrates, was the last and greatest of the old Attic Comedians. Only eleven of his plays survive, and this volume contains five. Included in this collect are"The Birds" the most graceful of his plays. Also"The Knights" his venomous satire on the behavior of Cleon, one of the most famous of Athenian demagogues. Peace" which was inspired by the hope of peace with Sparta in 421 B.C. Last, The Assemblywomen" about sexual equality, and"Wealth" Birds differs from all other fifth-century plays of Aristophanes that survive in having no strong and obvious connection with a topical question of public interest. Whether political, literary-theatrical or intellectual-educational. It has, in its own way, plenty of topical and satirical content; in particular as the city of Cuckooville begins to take shape, it proves in many ways to be a replica of Athens, and is soon visited by many of the less desirable elements of the Athenian population. But satire is kept firmly subordinate to fantasy; and as fantasy Birds h

Odds are we have other copies of this same title in varying conditions, some less expensive, some better condition. We might also have different editions as well(some paperback, some hardcover, oftentimes international editions) If you don’t see what you want, please contact us and ask. We’re happy to send you a summary of the differing conditions and prices we may have for the same title. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 303 pages. Publisher: Random House; 1968) In this dramatic study of the beginnings of European history Jacquetta Hawkes considers the culture of Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece. Finding in their union the source of Classical Greek culture. The extraordinary discoveries of Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos and of Heinrich Schliemann at Mycenae are part of the theme, which touches on the Homeric epics, the fall of Troy, and the legend of the Minotaur. The Cretan bull-leapers, the snake goddesses, the gold“mask of Agamemnon” and many other works of art are illustrated and interpreted. The essentially feminine character of Minoan Crete. With its palaces and gardens and its exquisite paintings, sculptures and ceramics, joins with the essentially masculine vigor of the Mycenaean kingdoms in the splendor of Bronze Age Greece. The poetry of Homer is seen as an element of continuity between this legendary period, which saw the dawn of the gods of Greece, and the golden age of Classical Greece, which witnessed the dawn of our own era. Profusely illustrated with nearly two hundred color and monochrome photographs by the brilliant Greek photographer Dimitrios Harrissiadis, Dawn of the Gods” is an important book of profound interest as well as one of striking be

Free Shipping Condition: Brand New Location: Lummi Island, United States TRANSLATE Arabic Chinese French German Greek Indonesian Italian Hindi Japanese Korean Swedish Portuguese Russian Spanish The Jesus Papyrus: The Most Sensational ... moreEvidence on the Origins of the Gospels since the Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls by Carsten Peter Thiede& Matthew D'Ancona. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 207 pages. Publisher: Weidenfeld& Nicolson; 1996) At first sight the Jesus papyrus. A few verses in Greek from St. Matthew's Gospel, could scarcely be less prepossessing. It seems little more than three tiny pieces of old paper clasped between two slides of glass in a forgotten Oxford college showcase. History does not obviously cling to it, let alone faith. Yet this ancient papyrus is one of the most important documents in the world. In one of the most astonishing scholarly claims of recent times, the German papyrologist Carsten Peter Thiede argues that this is the oldest known fragment of the New Testament in book form. His thesis has already generated controversy all over the world. According to Thiede. The Jesus papyrus, which includes no fewer than four of Christ's sayings, is the first material evidence that Saint Matthew's Gospel was written during the lifetime if eyewitnesses, that it records history as experienced by those who were there when it happened. The papyrus itself, written says Thiede forty years after the Crucifixion, or possibly even earlier, was unearthed in Upper Egypt and bequeathed to Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1901. It is conceivable therefore that it might have been read or handled by one of the"Five hundred brothers and sisters" 1 Corinthians 15:6) whom Paul says saw the resurrected Jesus. Not since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 has there been such a potentially important breakthrough in our understanding of Christ's time on earth. Combining immaculate scholarship and detective work. The Jesus Papyrus" is a thrilling account by Carsten Peter Thiede and Matthew d'Ancona of the discovery and what it mea
