Amazing Traces of a Babylonian Origin in Greek Mathematics by J”ran Friberg Pdf

The sequel to Unexpected Links Between Egyptian and Babylonian Mathematics (World Scientific, 2005), this book is based on the author's intensive and ground breaking studies of the long history of Mesopotamian mathematics, from the late 4th to the late 1st millennium BC. It is argued in the book that several of the most famous Greek mathematicians appear to have been familiar with various aspects of Babylonian “metric algebra,” a convenient name for an elaborate combination of geometry, metrology, and quadratic equations that is known from both Babylonian and pre-Babylonian mathematical clay tablets. The book's use of “metric algebra diagrams” in the Babylonian style, where the side lengths and areas of geometric figures are explicitly indicated, instead of wholly abstract “lettered diagrams” in the Greek style, is essential for an improved understanding of many interesting propositions and constructions in Greek mathematical works. The author's comparisons with Babylonian mathematics also lead to new answers to some important open questions in the history of Greek mathematics.

A Dictionary of Classical Greek Quotations by Marinos Yeroulanos Pdf

'Human wisdom is of little or no value', wrote Plato in his Apology. And yet the ancient Greeks, including Plato himself, more than any other people of antiquity were fascinated by the pursuit of the wisdom they called philosophia. That search for knowledge involved an extensive use of maxims and quotations, as we can see from those expressions of Homer prefaced by the phrase 'as people say'. Homer, the Seven Sages and the Pre-Socratic philosophers are still extensively quoted in all the major western languages. Yet for all their popularity, until now there has been no single resource to which interested readers might turn. This unique reference book offers one of the most comprehensive selections of Greek quotations ever committed to print. With its English text matched by the original Greek, the volume collects 7500 entries, ranging from the archaic period to late antiquity, and across philosophy, drama, poetry, history, science and medicine, each indexed with key words to enable fast sourcing. Together, these selections provide an incomparable insight into the glories of Greek civilization.

Love in a Changing Greek Climate, and Other Essays by Roger Just Pdf

This book comprises eight essays concerned with the ethnography of Greece, and in particular of the village of Spartokhori on the small Ionian island of Meganisi, Lefkadha, where, between 1977 and 1980, the author conducted anthropological fieldwork. For the most part, the essays focus on aspects of family, kinship and gender as they were to be found in what was, in the 1970s, a remote, rural community. Greek society has, of course, undergone profound changes over the last forty years, and these essays thus serve to document a way of life that has now virtually disappeared. Importantly, however, they also deal with the transformation of rural Greek society as it was occurring at the time. The book will appeal to social anthropologists, sociologists and historians of Modern Greece, and to anyone interested in rural Mediterranean society.

Greek Gods Abroad by Robert Parker Pdf

From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and largely adopted by the indigenous populations. By the third century b.c., gods bearing Greek names were worshipped everywhere from Spain to Afghanistan, with the resulting religious systems a variable blend of Greek and indigenous elements. Greek Gods Abroad examines the interaction between Greek religion and the cultures of the eastern Mediterranean with which it came into contact. Robert Parker shows how Greek conventions for naming gods were extended and adapted and provides bold new insights into religious and psychological values across the Mediterranean. The result is a rich portrait of ancient polytheism as it was practiced over 600 years of history.

Greek Mythology by Robert Garland Pdf

The timeless stories of Greek mythology come to life in these reimagined tales written in the voices of Zeus, Oedipus, Odysseus, and many others. Though the gods are featured prominently in Greek mythology, there is nothing sacred about it. Anyone is free to bring their own interpretation to these stories, just as Homer, Sophocles, and Euripides did centuries ago. In this volume, classicist and author Robert Garland presents nearly forty Greek legends as told by the characters themselves. Telling their stories from their own perspectives, the famous characters of Greek mythology—both gods and mortals—are given a chance to reflect on their lives and defend actions. Each story is accompanied by historical commentary, making Greek Mythology: Gods and Heroes Brought to Life an engaging and accessible way to enjoy these timeless tales.
