It shows how the mythological vase-paintings of fourth-century BCE Greeks, especially those settled in southern Italy, are more meaningful for those who had seen the myths enacted in the popular new medium of tragedy. The pots do not, it is argued, show the plays as such, but gain depth and complexity from recalling the tragic vision of particular stage versions, including those of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and, above all, Euripides. Of some 300 relevant vases, 109 are reproduced and accompanied by a picture-by-picture discussion. Nearly half of these were discovered since 1970, and most have not been thoroughly discussed in relation to tragedy before. The vases are organized by playwright and by the tragedy invoked. Apart from its challenging ideas about the significance of Tragedy for the Greeks, this book supplies a rich and unprecedented resource from a neglected treasury of painting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver Taplin is professor of classics at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, and a Fellow of the British Academy.

To them, the sculpted human figure was both an object of sensory delight and an expression of an intelligent mind. In the modern popular imagination, mention of the ancient Greeks is likely to conjure up an image of idealized and naked youth, and it is true that the ideal nude, both male and female, is a striking feature of Greek sculpture. However, in later Greek art, sculptors and their patrons became increasingly interested in human diversity, experimenting with the representation of ethnicity, age, social standing, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marble, bronze, and terra-cotta sculptures presented in this volume—outstanding highlights drawn from over six centuries of artistic production—demonstrate the diversity of Greek figural forms, from the idealized beauty of the Classical era to the individualized portraits of the Hellenistic period.

The horns, mouth, garland, and the tear ducts of the eyes are gilt, while the remainder of the eyes was inlaid with glass paste. The garland tied around the neck and the gilding of the horns mark this bull as a sacrificial animal. In the Hellenistic period, the use of luxurious gold and silver tableware was a feature of aristocratic life. Opulent vessels combining silver and gold for the color contrast, such as this cup, were especially desirable. Although many vessels in the form of animal heads or with separable liners are known, this vessel, with its combination of these elements, is unique. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCup in the Form of a Bull's Head, 100-1 BCE \u003cbr\u003eEast Greece\u003cbr\u003eSilver with leaf gilding \u003cbr\u003e9 x 12.1 x 10.7 cm (3 9\/16 x 4 x 4 in.) \u003cbr\u003eThe J.

These objects help identify him, since Hercules was often portrayed with a club and the pelt of the Nemean Lion, which he killed in the first of his legendary twelve labors. The youthful figure is shown nude, representing the ideal form of beauty in the Classical world.

The statue is named for Lord Lansdowne, who purchased it in 1792 for his antiquities collection in London. The Lansdowne Hercules was one of J.

In this book, experts offer introductions to the civilizations, exploring these foundational questions and examining the painted imagery.

As long as humans have lived on Earth, they have gazed up at the starry sky with fascination and longing. For the ancient Greeks and Romans, the Sun, Moon, and Earth were gods. The stars beyond our Solar System, however, represented heroes, animals, and monsters that the gods placed in the sky after their death. These include the great hunter Orion and the scorpion who killed him with its sting, the beautiful maiden Callisto who was turned into a bear (Ursa Major) by the goddess Hera, Perseus, the slayer of Medusa, and many more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this beautifully designed work, stunningly illustrated by Jim Tierney, Giesecke tells the origin stories of the 48 constellations, first catalogued by the astronomer Ptolemy in the second century CE. A final section covers the names, locations, and brief descriptions of the remaining 40 constellations catalogued by astronomers in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, which are not named for Classical figures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganized by hemisphere and celestial quadrant, the book also includes two illustrated star maps to help guide the reader to the location of each constellation, as well as 48 color plates throughout. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Annette Giesecke, Jim Tierney (Illustrator)\u003cbr\u003e- 256 pages\u003cbr\u003e- 7.4 inches W x 9.6 inches L\u003cbr\u003e- Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e- Black Dog \u0026amp; Leventhal\u003cbr\u003e- 2025\u003cbr\u003e- History\u003cbr\u003e- Item #: 9780762488513\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HACHETTE BOOK GROUP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46653346513088,"sku":"9780762488513","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8502\/files\/9780762488513_a.jpg?v=1755636920"},{"product_id":"complete-greek-myths","title":"Complete Greek Myths: An Illustrated Book of Greek Myths","description":"\u003cp\u003eComprehensive and beautiful volume of Greek Myths, including maps, glossary and every story you can think of. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis extensive volume of Greek Myths is perfect for a family bookshelf, containing all of the best-known myths, told in a detailed and fresh way to alight the interest of any child or adult with an interest in the gods and heroes of Ancient Greece. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully illustrated plates introduce all the characters, story by story, from the most famous to the more obscure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories are richly and evocatively told, and the book includes maps and a detailed glossary as well as a section on Ancient Greek culture and the origin of the stories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA QR code links to a pronunciation guide for names, as well as recommended websites to tell you even more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Henry Brook, Anna Milbourne, Nathan Collins (Illustrator) \u003cbr\u003e- 464 pages \u003cbr\u003e- 6.6 inches W x 9 inches L \u003cbr\u003e- Hardcover \u003cbr\u003e- Usborne \u003cbr\u003e- Ages 10 and up \u003cbr\u003e- 2025 \u003cbr\u003e- Children’s \u003cbr\u003e- Item #: 9781836051848\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46708553679040,"sku":"9781836051848","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8502\/files\/9781836051848_a.jpg?v=1757106801"},{"product_id":"bookmark-gathering-of-deities","title":"Bookmark - Gathering of Deities","description":"\u003cp\u003eElegant bookmark  featuring a Lucanian Red-Figure Volute-Krater in the J.
