Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Old price sticker to front inner cover. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 208 pages; This authoritative study of Greek insects treats not only the obvious questions of their identity--in modern terms of species and genera--but also such topics as the etymologies (both formal and popular) of the various insect names, the folklore, religious and other signficant associations, and the differences in attitude shown toward them by the ancient and modern world. Patterned after two famous studies by D'Arcy Thompson--A Glossary of Greek Birds and A Glossary of Greek Fishes--this volume provides a meticulous survey of the topic, examining the ancient literature and the enormous secondary literature connected with it, as well as the most recent scientific findings. Like Thompson's glossaries, this work focuses primarily on evidence from literature and art, with later evidence brought in only when needed for a full understanding of the facts. Compiled by a classics scholar working with a zoologist, this glossary provides alphabetically-arranged entries on such common insects as the ant, the louse, the butterfly, the wasp, the bedbug, the cricket, and the praying mantis. The first comprehensive study on this subject, Greek Insects belongs on the bookshelf of every Greek scholar, and it will be of considerable interest to educated readers.

Zustand: Gut. XIII., 211 pages/ Seiten, 37 plates b/w. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - slightly rubbed and scuffed, otherwise perfect condition/ slightly rubbed and scuffed, otherwise perfect condition - Written jointly by a classical scholar and an entomologist, this book is an authoritative supplement to D'Arcy Thompson s two famous works of more than 50 years ago, A Glossary of Greek Birds and A Glossary of Greek Fishes. The main part is a comprehensive catalogue, alphabetically arranged, of insects mentioned by ancient authors: the attempt is made, wherever possible, to identify problematical examples in terms of up-to-date scientific knowledge. A substantial introduction surveys the chief ancient authors (Aristotle, Pliny etc) who deal with insects on a large scale, and describes the more important misconceptions entertained by antiquity about insects and their habits. The names of obvious and common insects (bees, beetles, butterflies etc) are given in English. All Greek names are transliterated. The book is therefore as accessible to scientists and general readers as to classical scholars. The text is amply illustrated. -- The insect in Aesop s fables and Greek poetry Aristotle and the scientific study of insects Insects in Greek art -- Glossary -- Ant -- Bed bug -- Bee/wasp -- Beetle/cockchafer -- Borers of wood -- Butterfly/moth -- Cicada -- Cricket/grasshopper/locust -- Flea -- Fly -- Gnat/mosquito -- Leekbane -- Louse -- Praying mantis.
