Book Synopsis Fragments d'historiens grecs et histoire de l'empire perse by : Dominique Lenfant
Download or read book Fragments d'historiens grecs et histoire de l'empire perse written by Dominique Lenfant and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le dossier se compose d'un volume de 19 articles publiés (408 p.), d'une édition commentée des fragments de Ctésias de Cnide (C.U.P., 2004, 840 p.), d'une monographie inédite consacrée aux Persica de Dinon de Colophon et d'Héraclide de Kymè (295 p.) et d'un rapport de synthèse sur mes recherches post-doctorales (71 p.). Il concerne principalement les écrits grecs anciens sur le monde perse achéménide, notamment les fragments d'historiens. Leur approche privilégie conjointement la réflexion méthodologique sur la nature du matériau fragmentaire, la confrontation avec les documentations classiques et non classiques sur le monde achéménide et l'interprétation intégrale du texte, de l'édition au commentaire historique. Elle contribue à éclairer certains points de l'histoire du monde perse et de sa perception par les Grecs contemporains.
Book Synopsis Les Perses vus par les Grecs by : Dominique Lenfant
Download or read book Les Perses vus par les Grecs written by Dominique Lenfant and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De l’Indus à la Méditerranée, l’empire perse marqua le monde antique pendant plus de deux siècles (550-330 av. J.-C.). Mais les sources dont on dispose sont, pour une large part, les écrits d’auteurs grecs, tous postérieurs aux guerres médiques. Malgré des clichés hostiles récurrents, ces sources représentent cependant des approches variées du monde perse, tant par leur contenu que par leur portée. Issu d’un travail d’équipe, ce livre facilite l’interprétation des écrits classiques sur l’empire perse en tenant compte de leur diversité. Quarante-cinq notices permettent au lecteur de se repérer dans chaque œuvre, d’en évaluer les apports historiques et de se reporter aux études modernes. L’ouvrage s’adresse aux historiens et aux littéraires qui s’intéressent à la culture grecque et à l’histoire du Proche-Orient antique. Dominique Lenfant est professeur d’histoire ancienne à l’Université de Strasbourg. Elle est spécialiste de l’histoire des rapports entre Grecs et Perses et des écrits classiques sur l’empire achéménide. Elle a notamment publié Ctésias de Cnide. La Perse. L’Inde. Autres fragments (Les Belles Lettres, 2004) et Les Histoires perses de Dinon et d’Héraclide (De Boccard, 2009).
Book Synopsis Athénée et les fragments d'historiens by : Dominique Lenfant
Download or read book Athénée et les fragments d'historiens written by Dominique Lenfant and published by Editions De Boccard. This book was released on 2007 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si les histoires ecrites par les Grecs ont presque toutes disparu, elles sont souvent connues par le biais de "fragments" - citations, paraphrases et allusions dues a des auteurs posterieurs, que les savants modernes ont scrupuleusement rassemblees et qu'ils continuent d'etudier aujourd'hui. Mais, loin de se reduire a de purs extraits, ces "fragments" portent l'empreinte de l'auteur qui les a transmis: c'est en fonction de ses objectifs et methodes que ce dernier a choisi tel passage, qu'il l'a place dans tel contexte, voire reecrit de telle ou telle maniere. L'interprete moderne ne peut donc negliger de telles adaptations sans risquer de serieux contresens. C'est dans cette optique methodologique que l'on aborde ici les Deipnosophistes d'Athenee (IIe-IIIe siecle ap. J.-C.): recit d'un banquet dont les convives echangent des citations, c'est l'un des ouvrages les plus genereux en fragments d'historiens. Naguere considere comme une compilation sans genie, il apparait bien plutot, depuis quelques annees, comme une uvre subtile et concertee. Il devient d'autant plus necessaire d'evaluer la maniere dont l'auteur a traite ses sources et, singulierement, la connaissance qu'il peut nous donner des divers historiens qu'il invoque. Issu d'un colloque international organise a Strasbourg par Dominique Lenfant (16-18 juin 2005), ce volume situe les historiens dans la bibliotheque d'Athenee avant d'etudier ses methodes de citation: il confronte au texte de la tradition directe ses references aux historiens conserves, pour elargir ensuite l'enquete aux historiens non conserves, puis aux ecrits non historiques. Par les questions de methode qu'il aborde, c'est une contribution essentielle a la critique des textes et a l'interpretation des fragments d'historiens. A la croisee de champs d'etude en plein developpement, il nous plonge dans le monde des lettres antiques et renouvelle a bien des egards notre vision de l'historiographie grecque.
Book Synopsis Persian Responses by : Christopher Tuplin
Download or read book Persian Responses written by Christopher Tuplin and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2007-12-31 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generation ago the Achaemenid Empire was a minor sideshow within long-established disciplines. For Greek historians the Persians were the defeated national enemy, a catalyst of change in the aftermath of the fall of Athens or the victim of Alexander. For Egyptologists and Assyriologists they belonged to an era that received scant attention compared with the glory days of the New Kingdom or the Neo-Assyrian Empire. For most archaeologists they were elusive in a material record that lacked a distinctively Achaemenid imprint. Things have changed now. The empire is an object of study in its own right, and a community of Achaemenid specialists has emerged to carry that study forward. Such communities are, however, apt to talk among themselves and the present volume aims to give a professional but non-specialist audience some taste of the variety of subject-matter and discourse that typifies Achaemenid studies. The broad theme of political and cultural interaction - reflecting the empire's diversity and the nature of our sources for its history - is illustrated in fourteen chapters that move from issues in Greek historiography through a series of regional studies (Egypt, Anatolia, Babylonia and Persia) to Zarathushtra, Alexander the Great and the early modern reception of Persepolis.

Book Synopsis Xenophon’s ›Anabasis‹ and its Reception by : Tim Rood
Download or read book Xenophon’s ›Anabasis‹ and its Reception written by Tim Rood and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume constitutes the first large-scale collaborative reflection on Xenophon’s Anabasis, gathering experts on Greek historiography and Xenophon. It is structured in three sections: the first section provides a linear reading of the Anabasis through chapters on select episodes (from Book 1 through Book 7), including the opening, Cyrus’ characterisation, the meeting of Socrates and Xenophon, Xenophon’s leadership, the marches through Armenia and along the Black Sea coast and the service under Seuthes in Thrace. The second section offers an in-depth exploration of hitherto overlooked recurrent themes. Based on new approaches and scholarly trends, it focuses on topics such as the concept of friendship, the speeches of characters other than Xenophon, the suffering of the human body, the role of rumour and misrepresentation, and the depiction of emotions. The third section offers a more thorough investigation of the manifold reception of this work (in Antiquity, Byzantium, Renaissance, modern period, in cinema studies and illustrations). Finally, in acknowledgement of the Anabasis’ long history as a pedagogical text, the volume contains an envoi on the importance and benefits of teaching Xenophon and the Anabasis, more specifically.

Book Synopsis Brill's Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great by :
Download or read book Brill's Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 879 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great offers a considerable range of topics, of interest to students and academics alike, in the long tradition of this subject’s significant impact, across a sometimes surprising and comprehensive variety of areas. Arguably no other historical figure has cast such a long shadow for so long a time. Every civilisation touched by the Macedonian Conqueror, along with many more that he never imagined, has scrambled to “own” some part of his legacy. This volume canvasses a comprehensive array of these receptions, beginning from Alexander’s own era and journeying up to the present, in order to come to grips with the impact left by this influential but elusive figure.

Download or read book François Hotman: Antitribonian written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written c. 1567 (though unpublished until 1603), this is the work of an extraordinary scholar, a radical and polemicist, rival of many of the leading intellectual and political figures of his day. According to François Hotman’s distinguished biographer Donald Kelley the Antitribonian ‘is, or should be, a landmark in the history of social and historical thought’. It is also a landmark in the history of legal thought. The present edition is the first to evaluate Hotman’s text in the context of the history of Roman law from the time of the sixth-century Byzantine Emperor Justinian I to the Germany of the Enlightenment.
Book Synopsis Clio's Cosmetics by : Timothy Peter Wiseman
Download or read book Clio's Cosmetics written by Timothy Peter Wiseman and published by Presses Université Laval. This book was released on 2003 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clio is Muse of history, her 'cosmetics' the adornments of rhetoric. Peter Wiseman's influential book, first published in 1979 and now for the first time in paperback, concerns the writing of history during the first century BCE, when Rome was in process of becoming the centre of the Greek, as much as her own, literary world. Historians, trained in the schools of rhetoric, prized elegant plausibility above the empirical objectivity we expect of them today. Legend and history intermingled; history and poetry overlapped.This study divides into three distinct parts. The first treats the problems that arise from reading first century history as if it were written by modern, non-rhetorical standards. The second examines the pseudo-history of the gens Claudia, fabricated during the first century and transmitted to us by Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. The third discusses Catullus' dedication of his poetry to the historian Cornelius Nepos against the background of the two authors' common intellectual heritage. The book represents a significant contribution towards an appreciation of ancient historiography and Roman culture. History is viewed here as rhetoric, as myth-making, and as poetry.
Book Synopsis Ctesias' 'History of Persia' by : Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones
Download or read book Ctesias' 'History of Persia' written by Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards the end of the fifth century BC Ctesias of Cnidus wrote his 23 book History of Persia. Ctesias is a remarkable figure: he lived and worked in the Persian court and, as a doctor, tended to the world’s most powerful kings and queens. His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian wealth and opulence, powerful Persian women, the institution of the harem, kings and queens, eunuchs and secret plots. Presented here in English translation for the first time with commentaries, Ctesias offers a fascinating insight into Persia in the fifth century BC.
Book Synopsis Diodoros of Sicily by : Lisa Irene Hau
Download or read book Diodoros of Sicily written by Lisa Irene Hau and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bibliotheke of Diodoros of Sicily is the most voluminous Greek historiographical text from the pre-Christian era, and contains the only preserved continuous account of Classical Greek history; for many aspects of this history, such as the events in Sicily, the rise of Macedon under Philip II or the history of the Successors, it is our main or only source. It is thus often used as a source by ancient historians, and a great deal of energy has been spent on identifying which sources Diodoros himself used. Interest in Diodoros as an author in his own right, however, is a comparatively recent phenomenon. The contributors to this volume, junior scholars as well as leading international experts, set out to confront the old and new approaches to Diodoros, studying his first century BC context, questions of genre and purpose, his relationship to his predecessors, composition and narrative technique, the role of the gods and myth in the work, the use of speeches, and Diodoros' interest in themes like war, writing, language and politics. In so doing they offer exciting new insights into the Bibliotheke and the development of Greek historiography, which in turn also shed important new light on the old question of Diodoros' value as a source. This book is of interest to students of Greek and Roman history, myth, and ancient historiography in general.
