Bøger om Antikken

Juraen og måden at tænke juridisk på blev skabt af romerne i antikken og er et af det gamle Roms vigtigste bidrag til verdenskulturen. De romerske jurister udviklede en eminent god måde at analysere komplicerede retlige spørgsmål på, hvilket endnu i dag præger jurister verden over. Latin var romernes sprog og blev også juraens sprog i næsten 2000 år, og vi finder stadig i juristernes sprog rester af det latinske grundlag. Juristlatin er et særligt fagsprog med fagudtryk og vendinger, som man ikke finder i det litterære latin, der normalt læses i skolen og på universitetet. Denne bog er en indføring i den rige kulturelle verden, som romerretten er en del af. Den er på en gang en lærebog i latin, en indføring i juristlatin og en introduktion til romernes juridiske verden.Denne bog indgår i serien LATINERKVARTERET, der udgives i samarbejde med Societas Latina Daniae (Latinselskabet).

Veje og stier er trådt af de første mennesker på kloden. Veje forbinder os over kulturer og grænser.

Fra det antikke Grækenland har vi overleveret en forestilling om at der findes fire gode personlige egenskaber som er særligt vigtige. Disse fire – retfærdighed, besindighed, visdom og mod – er kendt som de fire kardinaldyder, og Platon får ofte æren for at have opfundet eller samlet disse dyder. Det skyldes at de spiller en meget fremtrædende rolle i hans mest berømte værk, Staten, når den lykkelige sjæl og den velfungerende stat skal beskrives. Denne bog præsenterer en grundig analyse af de fire kardinaldyders tidligste historie. Undersøgelsen falder i to dele. I den første kortlægges kardinaldydernes tilstedeværelse i den græske litteratur frem til og med Platon. Denne undersøgelse er bl.a. baseret på computerassisterede analyser af den samlede græske litteratur frem til Platons egen samtid, hvilket gør det muligt at skitsere og identificere forbindelser mellem de fire berømte termer. Korpuslingvistiske metoder og statistisk analyse anvendes for at give behandlingen et mere systematisk grundlag og tilstræbe så høj en objektivitet som fortolkningen af denne litteratur tillader. Anden del beskæftiger sig med en række centrale og berømte dialoger i Platons forfatterskab som underkastes en kritisk analyse med sigte på de fire kardinaldyder og deres mulige interne forbindelser. Undervejs sættes der spørgsmålstegn ved om de udgør en fast og veletableret filosofisk enhed, og om de repræsenterer den samlede dyd i de undersøgte dialoger. Samlet præsenterer bogens to dele et forslag til at genoverveje vores forståelse af begyndelse til de firekardinaldyders lange og prominente historie.

Evangelisterne mente, at Jesus blev korsfæstet uden at være skyldig, og Platon var også overbevist om Sokrates´ uskyld. Men er det dermed en kendsgerning, at der i begge tilfælde var tale om justitsmord? Det spørgsmål har ført til denne bogs undersøgelse af, hvad det var for en forståelse af Jesus og Sokrates, som førte til, at de blev dømt.

Grækenlands historie begynder, da de første skriftlige kilder kaster lys over historien omkring 750 f.kr., og beretter om begivenheder og personer, samfundsudvikling og storpolitik frem til 339 f.kr. Der fortælles endvidere om de mangeartede kilder til Grækenlands ældste historie, om problemerne ved at udnytte kildematerialet, og om det skiftende syn på græsk historie gennem tiderne.

Kristian Leth mener, at Bibelen er Verdens vigtigste bog. Igennem 2 ½ år har han hver søndag på P1 udforsket kristendommen sammen med journalist Lauge Hendriksen, og holdt flere hundrede foredrag om emnet. Deres aftale med DR er netop blevet forlænget. Radioprogrammet/podcasten "Bibelen Leth fortalt" er lyttet af over 100.000 – og det er ikke uden grund. Selv i et moderne samfund som det danske viser det sig, at vores kristne arv spiller en større rolle, end vi selv går rundt og tror – og måske endda større, end vi har lyst til at indse.Kristian Leth fortæller fra et udogmatisk standpunkt – han er hverken ”for” eller ”imod” kristendommen. Faktisk påstår han, at det nærmest slet ikke kan lade sig gøre – så dybt gennemsyrer den kristne arv vores bevidsthed. Siden han som 12-årig læste Bibelen for første gang, har han beskæftiget sig med både de klassiske tekster, og de apokryfe og okkulte. Han har besøgt stammesamfund i Papua Ny Guinea og Voodoo-præster på Haiti. Han har besøgt satanister i USA og kristne samfund alle steder i verden. Hans bibliotek i hjemmet i New York rummer værker fra gulv til loft om kristendommen og dens natur.Selvom Kristian Leth på den måde er en vaskeægte nørd, hvad angår kristendommens kilder, er han samtidig en blændende formidler af et stof, som de fleste måske anser for støvet. Der er absolut intet støvet over Verdens vigtigste bog – det er suveræn læsning til at blive klog af, hvad enten man tror eller ej. ”Jeg håber mere end noget andet, at læseren i løbet af bogen forstår, at det ikke er de andre ude i verden, der er de mærkelige, mens vi her i Danmark er mere rationelle og fornuftige. Jeg håber, at man ved endt læsning forstår, at historisk set, så er der intet logisk eller uundgåeligt ved vores vestlige, danske virkelighedsforståelse. I det store perspektiv, så er det os, der er de mærkelige. Og for at se det klart, må vi først finde ud af, hvor vores mærkelige ideer kommer fra.”

Men, kære kulturminister, udover det filosofiske og logiske tankesystem, da stammer vi ligeledes fra et mytisk tankeunivers, som vi har fra fx de antikke digtere – fra den vestlige verden nævnes først Homer. Myterne har givet mennesket en forståelse af dets samhørighed med naturen på en anden vis, end filosofien og senere videnskaben har kunnet. Myten eller skønlitteraturen (om man vil) fortæller om menneskeskæbner, om hvordan mennesker kunne tænkes at leve og dø. Aristoteles mente, at digtekunsten var mere seriøs end historiske studier, fordi den drejer sig om det alment menneskelige – det, som kunne være sket, ikke blot det, som faktuelt skete.

Lucius Falerius er død, og i hele Romerriget sørger man over tabet af den magtfulde senator. Det er nu op til Marcellus, Lucius Falerius’ unge søn, at føre sin fars løfter over for de sicilianske slaver ud i livet. Det er dog ikke alle, der ønsker at se Roms ære kompromitteret. Samtidig er der uro i de romerske grænseprovinser, og legionerne rykker nordpå for at gøre det af med truslen fra kelterne. De keltiske stammer har samlet sig under én høvding, den frygtindgydende og uforudsigelige Brennos – men der er også dem, der ønsker ham død. Brennos bliver forrådt af sin egen familie, og hævnen bliver både brutal og blodig.”Republikkens skæbne” er tredje og sidste bind i trilogien ”Republikken”.David Donachie, forfatteren bag pseudonymet Jack Ludlow, er at finde på de internationale bestsellerlister. Han har udgivet historiske romaner i mere end 30 år, og det er blevet til over 50 bøger - med flere på vej!

An enjoyable, accessible exploration of the legacy of ancient Greece today, across our daily lives and all forms of popular culture Our contemporary world is inescapably Greek. Whether in a word like "pandemic," a Freudian state of mind like the "Oedipus complex," or a replica of the Parthenon in a Chinese theme park, ancient Greek culture shapes the contours of our lives. Ever since the first Roman imitators, we have been continually falling under the Greeks' spell. But how did ancient Greece spread its influence so far and wide? And how has this influence changed us? Tony Spawforth explores our classical heritage, wherever it's to be found. He reveals its legacy in everything from religion to popular culture, and unearths the darker side of Greek influence--from the Nazis' obsession with Spartan "racial purity" to the elitism of classical education. Paying attention to the huge breadth and variety of Hellenic influence, this book paints an essential portrait of the ancient world's living legacy--considering to whom it matters, and why.

In this "sweetly romantic coming-of-age story with fun, magical touches" (Kirkus Reviews), a girl uses her newfound ability to make people fall in love to sabotage her rival. Erin Johnson's thirteenth birthday unfolds like any other day, from her mom's quirky and embarrassing choice of outfit to racing her nemesis, Trevor Jin, to the best seat in class--front row, center. But her gifts this year include something very out of the ordinary: magical powers. Erin discovers her mysterious father is actually the love god Cupid and she's inherited his knack for romance. It's not the most useful ability for an overachiever with lofty academic and extracurricular goals...or is it? Erin desperately wants to be elected president of the Multicultural Leadership Club, and as usual, Trevor is her fiercest competition. He's never backed down from a challenge before, but if Erin makes him fall in love with her, maybe he'd drop out of the race and let her win. With her magical pedigree, wrapping Trevor around her finger is a snap, and having him around all the time is a small price to pay for victory. But without their cutthroat rivalry bringing out the worst in each other, Erin realizes Trevor may not be as bad as she thought, and suddenly her first foray into love gets a lot more complicated...

Author Joe Patrina unpacks primate/alien genetics in this three-volume compendium.Volume I - Research ... fresh views of ancient writings, seeing them as "sincere accounts" of what was witnessed during the 4,000 B.C. to 1,000 B.C. expanse of the new Homo Sapient race.Volume II - e Primate & Alien Series ... re-enactments of humankind's primate/alien co-existence - covering Sumerian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, Greek and American episodes.Volume III - Genetics Drives Political Preference ... one's genetic pull is either more Primate or more Alien. This pull alone determines a preference for socialism versus libertarianism, logic superfluous.

The ancient Romans were responsible for many remarkable achievements—Roman numerals, straight roads—but one of their lesser-known contributions was the creation of the tourist industry. The first people in history to enjoy safe and easy travel, Romans embarked on the original Grand Tour, journeying from the lost city of Troy to the Acropolis, from the Colossus at Rhodes to Egypt, for the obligatory Nile cruise to the very edge of the empire. And, as Tony Perrottet discovers, the popularity of this route has only increased with time.Intrigued by the possibility of re-creating the tour, Perrottet, accompanied by his pregnant girlfriend, sets off to discover life as an ancient Roman. The result is this lively blend of fascinating historical anecdotes and hilarious personal encounters, interspersed with irreverent and often eerily prescient quotes from the ancients—a vivid portrait of the Roman Empire in all its complexity and wonder.

Between 1532 and 1536/37, the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck traveled to Rome. Most of the drawings created there were made by van Heemskerck in a sketchbook that he filled with motifs as he wandered through the city, and whose original binding has been lost. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, researchers at the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett have now largely reconstructed the original sequence of the book's pages. This forms the basis of the present facsimile. In his fascinating studies, van Heemskerck captured the ancient sculptures, ruins, and Roman cityscapes. His sketches display a refined eye for composition and perspective as well as an extraordinary sensibility of drawing. In the sketchbook, the artist developed a space for individual experimentation, as well as a valuable trove of motifs from which he would draw throughout his life. MAARTEN VAN HEEMSKERCK (1498-1574) was one of the most famous Dutch painters of the sixteenth century. Today he is best known for his magnificent Roman drawings.

La Grotte des SignesLa quête des signes 5 Enfin réunis après tant d'épreuves, Zia et Kadmeron se préparent à affronter la colère du Dieu Poisson. Devant la menace d'une attaque imminente à la saison de la Renaissance, le Marteron organise la défense du village des Enfants du Soleil. L'issue de la bataille place les vainqueurs dans un cruel dilemme : faut-il - oui ou non - assouvir une juste vengeance et châtier les prisonniers ? Sera-t-il alors possible d'instaurer la paix dans ce peuple déchiré depuis tant d'années ? Zia intervient de façon décisive pour créer les conditions d'une réconciliation entre les deux factions de la ginte des Lepenvis et permettre, peut-être, la coexistence des deux cultes du Silure et du Soleil. Mais le sort réservé au dernier captif plonge nos héros dans le doute sur l'avenir du Peuple du Poisson. Il est désormais temps de partir alors que la Grande Rivière Mère continue de grossir sous les pluies incessantes.En aval, la quête des signes semble s'achever pour Kadmeron lorsqu'il arrive enfin à la caverne de Magura. La rencontre avec un sage des étoiles et les fresques millénaires qu'il découvre sur les parois peintes le bouleversent au plus haut point. En effet, des révélations sur l'équilibre du monde et une prophétie stupéfiante le concernant lui posent plus de questions que ne lui apportent de réponses. Entre-temps, l'inépuisable curiosité de Zia s'exprime dans une idée innovante : aidé par l'ermite et deux mystérieuses étrangères, le couple commence à élaborer une proto-écriture qui répond aux besoins concrets - et étonnants - de la transmission des connaissances.Alors que Kadmeron rêve de rester à Magura pour étudier les signes-mots, une nouvelle alarmante provenant de la Gorge des Ancêtres les contraint à quitter brutalement la Grotte des Signes. Dans des conditions climatiques dures et des circonstances difficiles, Zia est obligée de retourner auprès de ses parents. Que trouvera-t-elle sur place après bientôt deux années d'absence ? Pourra-t-elle affronter son passé et les changements inévitables qu'elle percevra dans son entourage ? Que décidera-t-elle, tourmentée entre les ambitions des uns et ses envies profondes ? Héritiers de l'Âge de pierre - une série qui explore les défis du Mésolithique Il y a plus de six millénaires avant notre ère, l'Europe du Mésolithique est ébranlée par des cataclysmes climatiques. Des pluies diluviennes s'abattent sur le monde, la Mer Méditerranée envahit les côtes. L'Océan Atlantique monte de plusieurs mètres à cause de la fonte massive des glaciers polaires, détruisant des villages et chassant des populations terrifiées. Bien que la partie orientale du continent semble moins touchée, la Mer Noire ne cesse de se remplir et de gagner du terrain sur le littoral.C'est le début d'une période de migrations forcées qui placent l'humanité dans une situation terrible. Paradoxalement peu documentée et controversée, cette époque méconnue de notre préhistoire ouvre cependant les perspectives de la fabuleuse révolution de l'agriculture et des changements profonds du Néolithique. Les contraintes climatiques, sociologiques et culturelles obligeront nos ancêtres à prendre des mesures drastiques et courageuses. Un message du passé pour les profondes mutations qui se déroulent de nos jours.Comment se sont-ils organisés pour faire face au réchauffement climatique ? Avec quelles technologies ont-ils réussi à survivre ? Quelles alliances ont-ils dû forger pour dépasser ces terribles catastrophes ? Ce sont les questions auxquelles les Héritiers de l'Âge de pierre tentent, humblement, de répondre. Cette série de fiction s'appuie sur certaines découvertes archéologiques et sur les suppositions et l'imagination de ses auteurs.
