Angelos Chaniotis Bücher

Alexander der Große öffnete die Grenzen nach Osten, bis ans Ende der Welt, bis nach Indien. Mit ihm beginnt die Vernetzung großer Teile Europas, Asiens und Nordafrikas und das lange Zeitalter des Hellenismus. Bis in das Rom Kaiser Hadrians im 2. Jh. n.Chr. verfolgt Angelos Chaniotis die Spuren des kulturellen Austauschs, der Europa bis heute prägt.

Angelos Chaniotis bietet eine gut lesbare Einführung in Geschichte und Kultur Kretas vom 3.Jahrtausendv. Chr. bis zur Spätantike. Er erläutert die Grundzüge der minoischen Hochkultur, beschreibt die Einwanderung der griechischen Stämme, die orientalischen Einflüsse auf die Entwicklung Kretas sowie Staat und Gesellschaft auf Kreta in archaischer und klassischer Zeit. Die Darstellung Kretas im Hellenismus als Pirateninsel und die Zeit der Insel unter römischer Verwaltung beschließen den Band.

Das hellenistische Kreta vermittelt das verwirrende Bild einer von ständigen Kriegen erschütterten Insel. Ratlos standen die antiken Historiker diesem Phänomen gegenüber und behalfen sich mit der Erklärung, die ständigen Kriege lägen in der Habgier und Treulosigkeit der Kreter begründet. Spiegelbild der Beziehungen der kretischen Städte zueinander und wichtigste Quelle für die hellenistische Geschichte Kretas sind ihre rund 80 Staatsverträge, die hier ediert, übersetzt und kommentiert werden. Die Analyse ihrer Bestimmungen zeugt vom Bestreben der kretischen Poleis, Auswege aus einer Gesellschaftskrise zu finden, durch Expansion, Migration und wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit.

Subject: The ancient world that Alexander the Great transformed in his lifetime was transformed once more by his death. The imperial dynasties of his successors incorporated and reorganized the fallen Persian empire, creating a new land empire stretching from the shores of the Mediterranean to as far east as Bactria. In old Greece a fragile balance of power was continually disturbed by wars. Then, from the late third century, the military and diplomatic power of Rome successively defeated and dismantled every one of the post-Alexandrian political structures. The Hellenistic period (c. 323-30 BC) was then one of fragmentation, violent antagonism between large states, and struggles by small polities to retain an illusion of independence. Yet it was also a period of growth, prosperity, and intellectual achievement. A vast network spread of trade, influence and cultural contact, from Italy to Afghanistan and from Russia to Ethiopia, enriching and enlivening centres of wealth, power and intellectual ferment. From Alexander the Great's early days building an empire, via wars with Rome, rampaging pirates, Cleopatra's death and the Jewish diaspora, right up to the death of Hadrian, Chaniotis examines the social structures, economic trends, political upheaval and technological progress of an era that spans five centuries and where, perhaps, modernity began

The study of emotions has emerged as one of the most dynamic topics of research in Ancient History, Classics, and Archaeology. Studying a variety of sources (historiography, Greek and Latin poetry and oratory, the New Testament, inscriptions, medical authors, Greek vase-painting and sculpture, skeletal remains) and using different methodological approaches, the authors of this volume address a selection of questions related with the study of emotions in Greek and Roman culture: the representation of emotion in literature and art; the arousal of emotion through texts and images; the expression of emotion through metaphor and metonymy; the display of emotions in rituals; intellectual discourse concerning specific emotions (pride, grief, fear); emotional communities; and the importance of emotions in public life, value systems, and social relations.
