From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Heavily rubbed binding. Otherwise in very good condition. - Content: This sketch of the political and cultural history of the Hellenistic World was written during the academic year 1960/61. It is not always easy to write systematically while carrying a full academic load of teaching, and I am grateful to my pupils and associates who furnished me not only moral support but also a degree of compulsion. They would not speak to me until I had completed the days stint of pages. There are no beginnings and ends in history. Historians divide it up according to some organizational plan. History is not a congeries of all that happened, still less a collection of the available evidence. Historical writing is close to fiction, in that it must present a sensible and reasoned narrative, but it must be as accurate as possible. In ancient history in general, and in the Hellenistic period particularly, we have, in effect, no facts. We have only evidence, the testimony of ancient historians who operated under the same conditions as we, only with more evidence at their disposal, and the documentary testimony of inscriptions, papyri, and monuments. The latter are true but in need of interpretation; the former represent opinions which are not necessarily true but require critical examination. This is why ancient history is never written definitively, but must always be rewritten in the light of new evidence and new points of view. In the three hundred years of Hellenism, much happened over a wide front. The career of Alexander the Great is generously documented and presents a unified as well as a romantic theme. Thereafter there are no dominating heroes, but a tangled phantasmagoria of conflicting forces, kings, dynasts, states. There is no obvious theme about which a narrative can be constructed. It has been my attempt to find such a theme, nevertheless, in the growth and consolidation of new political concepts, kingdoms and territorial states, each with its own character but all sharing and developing a common culture, and their gradual absorption in the dynamic and superpowerful Roman Republic. In one sense, this process may be viewed as the rise and fall of the Hellenistic states. It was certainly painful, even sad in many of its aspects. In terms of world history, however, it is not to be viewed as tragic. If Rome had not turned east toward the end of the third century, it would have lacked or acquired much more slowly many of the features of our Western civilization which we associate with, and have inherited from, the later Republic and the Empire. If the nearer parts of the Hellenistic world had not come under Roman domination, they would have lacked the security which Rome provided in the large against the native forces to the north, east, and south. The Iranian revival, notably, constituted a serious threat to Syria and Asia Minor, and while the Arsacid Parthians called themselves phil-hellene, they were not and could not have been Hellenized as were the Romans. The Parthian king, it is said, sent three magi to Jerusalem to discover if, in fact, as the stars reported, a king had been born in Israel. If it had not been for the Romans, very possibly he would not have had to send envoys but would have been himself master of Palestine, and the Slaughter of the Innocents might have been more effective in preventing the realization of the Kingdom of God. There are many obligations to acknowledge. I am grateful to the Ullstein Firm in Berlin for having commissioned this history in the first place, and now for having allowed the publication of a revised and augmented English edition. I am grateful to my editor, Professor Alan E. Samuel, for his numerous technical and professional services. I cannot name all of those who, as students or associates, have made corrections and suggestion.…

Zustand: Gut. 118 p. Schutzumschlag abgenutzt, insgesamt etwas vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Dust jacket worn, overall somewhat yellowed, otherwise in good condition. - Lucian of Samosata, one of the most prolific writers of antiquity, would have disappeared from history almost completely, had not the ancients themselves preserved a large amount of his work. For the lives of almost all other ancient writers we have an extensive body of information; for Lucian, a succession of questions and mysteries. Born in 117 (or thereabouts), Lucian built a public career out of his writing. As Barry Baldwin says, He was well aware of one deadly rule of the game: publish or perish. He published a great deal, and the importance of his work lends heightened interest to an understanding of his life and his career. In this, the first full-length treatment of Lucian in English, Barry Baldwin examines the evidence for Lucians life, and tries to reconstruct as much as possible from contradictory and elusive data. This book looks at Lucian the writer and careerist, rather than just his writing, and in its treatment of this major figure, casts new light on the development of culture in the Greek world under Roman domination.
