Blundell, Mary Whitlock HELPING FRIENDS AND HARMING ENEMIES A Study in Sophocles and Greek Ethics
Cambridge University Press 1989 0521351162 / 9780521351164 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold).

Five of the extant plays are discussed in detail from both a dramatic and an ethical standpoint, and the author concludes that ethical themes are not only integral to each drama, but are subjected to an implicit critique through the tragic consequences to which they give rise. Greek scholars and students of Greek drama and Greek thought will welcome this book, which is presented in such a way as to be accessible to specialists and nonspecialists alike. No knowledge of Greek is required. ; 312 pages

Bodnar, Istvan & William Fortenbaugh (Eds. ) EUDEMUS OF RHODES
Transaction Publishers 2002 0765801345 / 9780765801340 Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
Very light pencil marginalia on a couple of pages. Light edgewear and shelfwear to DJ. ; Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities Volume XI; 383 pages; Eudemus of Rhodes was a pupil of Aristotle in the second half of the fourth century BCE. When Aristotle died, having chosen Theophrastus as his successor, Eudemus returned to Rhodes where it appears he founded his own school. His contributions to logic were significant: he took issue with Aristotle concerning the status of the existential "is," and together with Theophrastus he made important contributions to hypothetical syllogistic and modal logic. He wrote at length on physics, largely following Aristotle, and took an interest in animal behavior. His histories on geometry, arithmetic, and astronomy were of great importance and are responsible for much of what we know of these subjects in earlier times.

Bolling, George Melville THE EXTERNAL EVIDENCE FOR INTERPOLATION IN HOMER

Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Light shelfwear to book. ; Special edition for Sandpiper Books. In the quest for the original Homeric text, Bolling's strategy is to begin, not with an 'Ur-text' as some earlier scholars had attempted, but with the poems as they appear at the beginning of our tradition, and to 'remove the accretions stratum by stratum, as in the excavation of a buried temple'. He attempts to reconstruct the earlier texts of the Iliad and Odyssey by not only identifying and eliminating interpolations, but by understanding the traditions of the earlier interpolators and editors and thus establishing a standard for future work. ; 259 pages
