Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / lightly rubbed, otherwise perfect condition - THEBES IN THE FIFTH CENTURY -- In the fifth century BC Thebes, faced with the challenge presented by defeat and disgrace in the Persian Wars, yet succeeded not only in regaining its former prominence, but also in laying the groundwork for its assumption of the hegemony of Greece for a time in the fourth century. -- Nancy Demand examines the political and military history of Thebes, and also investigates a number of other aspects of life in the city: its physical layout, cults, poetry and music, arts and crafts, philosophy, and the interpretation of the proper role of women. She discusses unique materials, which are not widely known, such as the pottery of the shrine of the Kabeiroi, with its parodies of mythological themes, and the engraved and painted grave stelai, possibly the work of Aristeides, the pupil of Polykleitos. -- Other topics of special interest include a chapter on Pythagoreanism in Thebes, an Appendix on the evidence for the participation of women in Pythagoreanism, and an investigation, extending throughout the book, of the role of women in Theban society.
