雅典的胜利
The Rise of Athens: The Story of the World’s Greatest Civilization Douban
[英]安东尼·艾福瑞特 translator: 杨彬 publishing house: 中信出版集团·新思文化 2019 - 5
雅典城邦,孕育了民主政治的起源,在爱琴海上成就贸易和海军霸业,又尘埃落定于一座古典文化的学园。它偏居地中海世界的一角,人口不过20万左右,却在人类文明的每个领域都留下了惊人创举。 雅典人天才狡黠、踌躇满志,也放荡不羁,他们的热情驱动着雅典的建立和辉煌:杰出的海军将领塞米 斯托克利斯,率领希腊人痛击波斯入侵者;雄辩的雅典执政官,在政治家中无出其右;睿智的亚西比德,在伯罗奔尼撒战争中几次变节,最后死在刺客的弓箭之下。 放眼雅典城邦之外,斯巴达纪律严明,好战尚武,与崇尚享乐的雅典人截然相反;波斯帝国幅员辽阔,与雅典人竞争小亚细亚沿岸的希腊城邦。三股强权缠绕交错,战争变成和平,继而烽烟又起。直至雅典国力衰落,被亚历山大纳入囊中,却独以它的自由原则与哲学思想,成为西方世界文明的标志,西方人的精神故乡。 这是一个蕞尔小邦改变世界的故事。雅典人在古典文明的碰撞中抓住了机遇,以天才而自由的思想为自己戴上桂冠。 =========================================== ※ 一座欧洲角落里的城邦,用思想与自由的成就为自己戴上桂冠 古代雅典城邦坐落在地中海世界的边缘,人口不过20万左右,却成为孕育西方文明的起源地。雅典人在每个领域都有惊人创举——他们发明唯一的直接民主制度,其理念从古典时代一直影响至今;他们崇尚理性,诞生了无数“百科全书”式的学者;他们创造了哲学的概念,从此人类开始探寻有关自身的基本问题;他们也开创了悲剧喜剧、建筑雕塑的艺术形式。当我们称颂古希腊的文明,我们实际上在说的就是雅典的胜利。 ※ 描绘雅典民主辩论场上的政治群星、雅典学园里的思想巨人 回到两千多年前,让我们路过雅典市集,可听到苏格拉底向市民传授伦理知识,在公民大会上,我们能听到身为改革者的执政官伯里克利,对公民发表雄辩精彩的演说;若放眼海洋,便能海军将领赛米斯托克利斯,率领希腊人痛击波斯入侵者。雅典的建立与辉煌,正是由这一群天才人物的雅典精神所驱动。 ※ 以雅典城邦为中心,辐射整个古典地中海世界的强权纷争 好战尚武的斯巴达城邦、虎视眈眈的波斯帝国,渴望霸权的马其顿,也是雅典历史上的重要配角。雅典与他们时而结为盟友,时而发起冲突,截然不同的文化基石相互碰撞挤压,也彼此塑造。雅典为何能从诸多城邦王国中脱颖而出,甚至一度成为爱琴海上的霸主?即使它一度被其他国家征服,却以其文明赢得征服者的渴慕? ※ 扎实的文学功底,小说的笔法讲述雅典建立、崛起、称霸直到陨落的千年历史 从《荷马史诗》中特洛伊的围困为开端,将雅典起源的神话传说娓娓道来。他将那些耳熟能详的战争渲染得更加戏剧,悲壮如马拉松的故事,激烈如温泉关战役。他也从哲学经典中,仔细收集思想家如苏格拉底、色诺芬的趣闻逸事。用一本书细数古希腊文明史上的那些高光时刻,古希腊经典作品从此不再晦涩难读。 ※ 游戏玩家、电影观众也不可缺少的一本收藏品 如果你碰巧是《文明》《全面战争》系列游戏的玩家则不能错过这本书,看雅典城邦如何在思想、宗教、艺术、建筑各领域铸造“奇观”。

希腊共和国
Douban
[英] 阿尔弗雷德·E.齐默恩 translator: 龚萍 / 傅洁莹 … publishing house: 上海世纪格致 2011 - 2
《希腊共和国:公元前5世纪雅典的政治和经济》原著是一部篇幅较大且内容丰富的古典学著作,如作者齐默恩所说,本书的目的在于研究清楚公元前5世纪的雅典是什么样的,因此本书的内容牵涉古希腊的地理位置、气候条件、思想文化、政治经济等方方面面,而作者着重研究了推动雅典生活的两大因素,即政治和经济,分析了它们的性质、影响和相互作用,从而描绘出雅典社会的图景。 作者批判了“见木不见林,逐末而忘本”的追逐细节而忽略宏观因素的过度专门化研究趋势以及以今人眼光看待古代历史的错误方法,在论述过程中注意运用当时最新的考古证据,并大量引用时人的著作,运用古典学的研究方法,其研究方法和诸多观点在现今看来仍能提供借鉴、引发思考。该书1911年问世时,不仅在古典学界引起强烈反响,还在客观上促使“共和国”(commonwealth)这一概念日益深入人心。

古希腊人
Introducing the Ancient Greeks: From Bronze Age Seafarers to Navigators of the Western Mind Douban
[英]伊迪丝·霍尔 translator: 李崇华 publishing house: 上海社会科学院出版社 2019 - 1
在大约公元前2600年,一群擅长航海的人出现在克里特岛和伯罗奔尼撒半岛,揭开了希腊历史的序幕。这些迈锡尼人建造了恢宏的宫殿,关于他们的记忆用线形文字铭刻在泥板上,也存留在数个世纪后《荷马史诗》的英雄世界里。在之后的一千多年里,古希腊人发展出哲学、自然科学、戏剧和艺术,创立了民主制,为世界贡献了亚里士多德、伯里克利、普鲁塔克、亚历山大大帝等杰出人物,成为西方文明的领航员。 有人说,古希腊人凭不世出的才干缔造了希腊奇迹,为人类建造了精神家园;也有人说,他们只是善于模仿,吸收了地中海东部所有文明的精髓,通过征服和扩张将文化传播至各地。古典学者伊迪丝•霍尔熟知古希腊人的生活世界,她说,将众多文化融会贯通的古希腊人自有其独特之处,正因为拥有这些特质,他们才在合适的时间、合适的地点接过了人类进步的接力棒,在未来几百年间引领知识进步。 霍尔讲述了古希腊从公元前1600 年到公元400 年横跨两千年的文明历程;从西班牙到印度,从遥远的尼罗河到冰冷刺骨的顿河,古希腊文化的重心一直在转移。霍尔熟练运用考古资料与经典文献,把古希腊人的历史划分为十个阶段,取分布于十个地理区域的社群,展现古希腊人的十大特性:擅长航海、不愿盲从、看重个人、求知欲强、思想开放、机智聪慧、喜爱竞争、崇尚美好品质、善于表达、追求享乐。这些联系起迈锡尼人、雅典人、斯巴达人、马其顿人……的精神特质,也成了古希腊乃至此后西方文明的底色。

Byzantine Art
Douban
Robin Cormack publishing house: Oxford Paperbacks 2000 - 11
The coverage of this book focuses on the art of Constantinople from 330 to 1453 and the stages this went through in reaction to historical circumstances as the city progressed from the Christian centre of the Eastern Roman Empire, to the crisis of attack from the new religion of Islam, to revived medieval splendour and then, after the Latin capture of 1204 and the reoccupation by Byzantine after 1261, to a period of cultural reconciliation with east and west. The book shows how changes in society led to changes in art by focusing on particular cases and objects.
Archaic and Classical Greek Art (Oxford History of Art)
Douban
Robin Osborne publishing house: Oxford University Press, USA 1998 - 11
This fascinating new account of what happened in Greece from c.800 to 323 bc shows how sculptors and painters responded to the challenges they faced in the extremely formidable and ambitious world of the Greek city-state. The numerous symbols and images employed by their eastern Mediterranean neighbours on the one hand, and the explorations of what it was to be human embodied in the narratives with which Greek poets worked on the other, helped produce the rich diversity of forms apparent in Greek art. The drawings and sculptures of this period referred so intimately to the human form as to lead both ancient and modern theorists to talk in terms of the 'mimetic' role of art. The importance of what occurred still affects the way we see today. Ranging widely over the fields of sculpture, vase painting and the minor arts, this book provides a clear introduction to the art of archaic and classical Greece. By looking closely at the context in which and for which sculptures and paintings were produced, Robin Osborne demonstrates how artistic developments were both a product of, and contributed to, the intensely competitive life of the Greek city. Introduction Chapter 1: A history of art without artists Chapter 2: From praying to playing: the art of the eighth century BC Chapter 3: Reflections in an eastern mirror Chapter 4: Myth as measure Chapter 5: Life enlarged Chapter 6: Marketing an image Chapter 7: Enter politics Chapter 8: Gay abandon Chapter 9: Cult, politics, and imperialism Chapter 10: The claims of the dead Chapter 11.

The First Fossil Hunters
Douban
Adrienne Mayor publishing house: Princeton University Press 2011 - 3
Griffins, Cyclopes, Monsters, and Giants - these fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in "The First Fossil Hunters". Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in fact - in the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans. As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground. Like their modern counterparts, the ancient fossil hunters collected and measured impressive petrified remains and displayed them in temples and museums; they attempted to reconstruct the appearance of these prehistoric creatures and to explain their extinction. Long thought to be fantasy, the remarkably detailed and perceptive Greek and Roman accounts of giant bone finds were actually based on solid paleontological facts. By reading these neglected narratives for the first time in the light of modern scientific discoveries, Adrienne Mayor illuminates a lost world of ancient paleontology.
Hermaphrodites, Gynomorphs and Jesus
Douban
David C. A. Hillman publishing house: Ronin Publishing 2013 - 10
The first western god was both male and female. All of western religion springs from the veneration of a bi-gender entity, known to the ancient world as the Gynomorph. The worship of hermaphroditic gods like the Gynomorph surfaces in ancient pagan cults as well as early Christianity. The celebration of female gods with penises impacted the development of western culture. Veneration of the Gynomorph is the basis for modern western law courts. The founders of democracy worshipped similar female divinities who possessed penises. Ritual sodomy as a means of celebrating hermaphroditic gods directly promoted the birth of western democracy. In fact, ancient priestesses responsible for guiding the worship of hermaphroditic goddesses laid the very foundations for democracy, science and philosophy. The oldest western pharmaceuticals were sex drugs used in religious initiations in celebration of the Gynomorph. Snake venoms used in cultic sex rituals were immensely popular in both Greece and Rome. In addition, abortion-inducing drugs promoted the first scientific investigations. Classical civilization relied heavily upon the use of cannabis, opiates, and hallucinogens, which were mixed with sexual stimulants. Greco-Roman witches, who served a prominent hermaphroditic goddess, Hecate, were among the earliest western scientists and naturalists. Devotees of gynomorphic divinities were the first westerners to promote the religious practice known as necromancy. The first “baptists” were cross-dressing necromancers, who celebrated the Gynomorph. Eunuchs who served the same goddess were chemically castrated with scorpion venom. Ancient pre-Christian oracles declared that the messiah must be a hermaphrodite. Christianity tried to assimilate and employ the use of necromancy. The earliest Christians used designer sex drugs in their rituals in order to venerate a messiah given gynomorphic status by church bishops.
