Описание: Examines the relationship of Apollonius of Rhodes` Argonautica with Herodotus` Histories. Argues that it uses Herodotean historiography as a key intertext in order to manipulate the reader`s generic expectations for an epic poem and to complicate the relationship between the contemporary Hellenistic Mediterranean and the distant mythological past.

Описание: Xerxes, the Persian king who invaded Greece in 480 BC, quickly earned a notoriety that endured throughout antiquity and beyond. The Greeks' historical encounter with this eastern king - which resulted, against overwhelming odds, in the defeat of the Persian army - has inspired a series of literary responses to Xerxes in which he is variously portrayed as the archetypal destructive and enslaving aggressor, as the epitome of arrogance and impiety, or as a figure synonymous with the exoticism and luxury of the Persian court.

Imagining Xerxes is a transhistorical analysis that explores the richness and variety of Xerxes' afterlives within the ancient literary tradition. It examines the earliest representations of the king, in Aeschylus' tragic play Persians and Herodotus' historiographical account of the Persian Wars, before tracing the ways in which the image of Xerxes was revisited and adapted in later Greek and Latin texts. The author also looks beyond the Hellenocentric viewpoint to consider the construction of Xerxes' image in the Persian epigraphic record and the alternative perspectives on the king found in the Jewish written tradition.

Analysing these diverse representations of Xerxes, this title explores the reception of a key figure in the ancient world and the reinvention of his image in a remarkable array of cultural and historical contexts.

Описание: Der Erste Nil-Katarakt stellt in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Ungewohnlich reiche Landschaft fur die Untersuchung der verschiedensten Epochen und Kulturen dar. Vor dem Hintergrund verbindender wie trennender naturraumlicher Faktoren vollzieht sich der kulturelle Wandel und kann uber einen Zeitraum von mehr als 5000 Jahre verfolgt werden. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes beleuchten dies von den unterschiedlichsten Blickwinkeln und den Methoden verschiedener Disziplinen. Beginnend mit den jungsten Ergebnissen zur Zuzugsgeschichte des Niltals werden soziologische Ansatze, archaologische Berichte aus aktuellen Ausgrabungen und philologische Einzelstudien zu Personengruppen und Zeitepochen bis in das 15. Jh. hinein ausgefuhrt. Die Beitrage geben so einen Eindruck von den Moglichkeiten, die diese Region fur eine moderne, epochenubergreifende Kulturgeschichte bietet. Sie gehen auf ein Internationales Symposium im September 2007 in Berlin zuruck und wurden fur die vorliegende Veroffentlichung aktualisiert.

Описание: The ancient Near East is a construct defined by present-day scientific investigations, a construct whose temporal and spatial boundaries are fuzzy, constantly shifting under the weight of new empirical data and increasingly sophisticated analytical methods. Its objects of investigation, even those that have resided in museum collections for generations, are in flux, as the profound cultural, geographical, ethnic and social diversity of the ancient Near East threatens to drown out any points of commonality. Yet it is these points of commonality that draw us inevitably to questions of Diversity and Standardization as categories for cross-cultural and trans-historical analysis. As we look across the variegated horizons of antiquity, do these categories have any real analytical power? For instance, the introduction of a new system of measurement or bookkeeping technique or even the imposition of a standardized repertoire of pottery forms on a more-or-less subject population are all examples of the real power of processes of standardization to stabilize territorial political entities. The problem must be posed for the ancient Near East at an even more fundamental level, however: what role do concepts, methods of standardization and, more generally, sign systems play in the reconfiguration and reconstitution of cultural, political, religious, scientific and social spaces? This volume results from a symposium under the aegis of the TOPOI Research Cluster (a trans-disciplinary research center devoted to the investigation of the interdependencies between space and knowledge in the ancient world) that brought together leading archaeologists, philologists, historians and linguists in order to investigate concrete historical examples that speak to questions of Diversity and Standardization in the ancient Near East.
