Download or read book The Argument of the Action written by Seth Benardete and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together Seth Benardete’s studies of Hesiod, Homer, and Greek tragedy, eleven Platonic dialogues, and Aristotle’s Metaphysics. The Argument of the Action spans four decades of Seth Benardete’s work, documenting its impressive range. Benardete’s philosophic reading of the poets and his poetic reading of the philosophers share a common ground, guided by the key he found in the Platonic dialogue: probing the meaning of speeches embedded in deeds, he uncovers the unifying intention of the work by tracing the way it unfolds through a movement of its own. Benardete’s original interpretations of the classics are the fruit of this discovery of the “argument of the action.”

Download or read book Divine Envy, Jealousy, and Vengefulness in Ancient Israel and Greece written by Stuart Lasine and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in-depth comparative analysis of envy, jealousy, and vengefulness experienced by divine personalities in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Greek texts and the functions served by attributing negative emotions and traits to one’s gods. Readers are informed about the vigorous debates concerning the nature of emotion, a field with rapidly growing interest, including the specific emotions of envy, jealousy, and vengefulness. The book charts the complex, multi-faceted presentation of divine beings in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Greek literature, including their negative emotions. While the detailed readings of key biblical and Greek texts can stand on their own, Lasine’s comparative analyses allow readers to appreciate the uniqueness of each tradition. Finally, examining the functions served by envisioning one’s God or gods as jealous, envious, and vengeful offers readers a fresh perspective on biblical theology and the ways in which Greek poets and dramatists imagined the nature of their deities. Divine Envy, Jealousy, and Vengefulness in Ancient Israel and Greece is intended for biblical, classical, and literary scholars, as well as the general reader interested in the Hebrew Bible and/or ancient Greek literature.

Download or read book A Guide to Reading Herodotus' Histories written by Sean Sheehan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern scholarship judges Herodotus to be a more complex writer than his past readers supposed. His Histories is now being read in ways that are seemingly incompatible if not contradictory. This volume interrogates the various ways the text of the Histories has been and can be read by scholars: as the seminal text of our Ur-historian, as ethnology, literary art and fable. Our readings can bring out various guises of Herodotus himself: an author with the eye of a travel writer and the mind of an investigative journalist; a globalist, enlightened but superstitious; a rambling storyteller but a prose stylist; the so-called 'father of history' but in antiquity also labelled the 'father of lies'; both geographer and gossipmonger; both entertainer and an author whom social and cultural historians read and admire. Guiding students chapter-by-chapter through approaches as fascinating and often surprising as the original itself, Sean Sheehan goes beyond conventional Herodotus introductions and instead looks at the various interpretations of the work, which themselves shed light on the original. With text boxes highlighting key topics and indices of passages, this volume is an essential guide for students whether reading Herodotus for the first time, or returning to revisit this crucial text for later research.

Book excerpt: The idea for this book was born during a tour of Greece taken by the author focusing on ancient sites including Delphi. Swisher began to wonder what happened to all the treasures that been given to the Priests and Pythias at the sanctuary and this story evolved from there. We follow both Atys, a Lydian slave from 650 BC and James, an insurance agent in AD 2010 on their journeys to Delphi Greece. Atys is among the slaves carrying a heavy chest of solid gold coins up the steep trail to the Oracle. Their paths cross when James finds a mysterious metal box in the crumbling basement of an old Greek farmhouse he may inherit. James makes a friend and partner in Angela who struggles to overcome her fears to help him unravel a mysterious message. You will find ordinary people with normal quirks and believable skills who will take you on a fast-paced adventure leading to an exciting and fulfilling climactic ending.
