Bøger i The Center for Hellenic Studies Colloquia (HUP) serien

This book is a study of the variable perceptions of Greek collective identity, discussing ancient categories such as blood- and mythically-related primordiality, language, religion, and culture. It considers complex middle grounds of intra-Hellenic perceptions, oppositional identities, and outsiders' views.

The product of a colloquium at Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies, this volume offers a broadly based, comparative examination of war and military organization in their complex interactions with social, economic, and political structures as well as cultural practices.

Perspectives on Homer and other traditional epics are explored in this volume. The nine essays that make up this volume focus on the performance and the audience perception of oral poetry.
