Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Dust Jacket. Ex-library copy with usual stamps, call numbers. Pocket has been removed from ffep causing some damage. Else VG.; Greeks divided the world into Greece vs. The land of foreigners, into Hellenes vs. Barbarians, seeing their country as a bastion of culture, learning, and military might surr…ounded by a sea of the unÂcivilized. Long shows how comedy expressed the Greek feeling of superiority over the barbarians, how it dealt with the so-called barbarian-Hellene antithesis. The result is a contribution to the study of ancient Greek comedyâ"both the comedy itself and the beliefs, the prejudices, the limitations, and the variety in the society from which the plays emerged. The comediansâ responses to the barbarians ranged from idealization to neutrality to raw racism. Although contemptuous of barbarians, the Hellenes could not keep elements of foreign culture from entering their own. Longâs major contention is that the Greek reaction to Oriental and other foreign influence can be seen in the treatÂment of barbarians in Greek comedy.; 240 pages.
