Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Valuing the Past in the Greco-Roman World asks how the past was defined, accessed, and valued in that period of time so often considered "our" antiquity (18) and provides an array of fascinating examples that work together to undercut notions of the value of the past in the past as in any way uniform or monolithic. This range of historical perspectives calls for further reflection on the ethics and politics underlying our own individual and institutional practices of valuing the past in the present and contributes much to our understanding of the range of values ascribed to the past in the past.'
Kelsi Morrison-Atkins in Ancient Jew Review 2017

Reseña del editor:

Valuing the Past in the Greco-Roman World is a collaboration between scholars working on diverse areas and periods of ancient Greco-Roman culture. The volume addresses literary and material evidence for ancient notions of valuing (or disvaluing) the deep past.
