Serving Athena - The Festival of the Panathenaia and the Construction of Athenian Identities (Hardcover): Julia L. Shear Serving Athena - The Festival of the Panathenaia and the Construction of Athenian Identities (Hardcover)
Julia L. Shear
R3,903 Discovery Miles 39 030 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In ancient Athens, the Panathenaia was the most important festival and was celebrated in honour of Athena from the middle of the sixth century BC until the end of the fourth century AD. This in-depth study examines how this all-Athenian celebration was an occasion for constructing identities and how it affected those identities. Since not everyone took part in the same way, this differential participation articulated individuals' relationships both to the goddess and to the city so that the festival played an important role in negotiating what it meant to be Athenian (and non-Athenian). Julia Shear applies theories of identity formation which were developed in the social sciences to the ancient Greek material and brings together historical, epigraphical, and archaeological evidence to provide a better understanding both of this important occasion and of Athenian identities over the festival's long history.

Polis and Revolution - Responding to Oligarchy in Classical Athens (Hardcover): Julia L. Shear Polis and Revolution - Responding to Oligarchy in Classical Athens (Hardcover)
Julia L. Shear
R3,265 Discovery Miles 32 650 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

During the turbulent last years of the fifth century BC, Athens twice suffered the overthrow of democracy and the subsequent establishment of oligarchic regimes. In an in-depth treatment of both political revolutions, Julia Shear examines how the Athenians responded to these events, at the level both of the individual and of the corporate group. Interdisciplinary in approach, this account brings epigraphical and archaeological evidence to bear on a discussion which until now has largely been based on texts. Dr Shear particularly focuses on the recreation of democracy and the city, both ritually and physically, in the aftermath of the coups and demonstrates that, whilst reconciliation after civil strife is difficult and contentious, it is also crucial for rebuilding a united society. Theories of remembering and forgetting are applied and offer a new way of understanding the dynamics in Athens at this time.
