4. Ireland and the Classical World.
by Freeman, Philip: 
Price: USD 54.47
Dealer: AbebooksDE, Fundus-Online GbR Borkert Schwarz Zerfaß
Description: ISBN10: 0292725183, ISBN13: 9780292725188, [publisher: Austin: University of Texas Press] Hardcover First Edition XVI, 148 p.: Maps. Ein sehr gutes Exemplar / A very good copy. - On the boundary of what the ancient Greeks and Romans considered the habitable world, Ireland was a land of myth and mystery in classical times. Classical authors frequently portrayed its people as savages—even as cannibals and devotees of incest—and evinced occasional uncertainty as to the island’s shape, size, and actual location. Unlike neighboring Britain, Ireland never knew Roman occupation, yet literary and archaeological evidence prove that Iuverna was more than simply terra incognita in classical antiquity. In this book, Philip Freeman explores the relations between ancient Ireland and the classical world through a comprehensive survey of all Greek and Latin literary sources that mention Ireland. He analyzes passages (given in both the original language and English) from over thirty authors, including Julius Caesar, Strabo, Tacitus, Ptolemy, and St. Jerome. To amplify the literary sources, he also briefly reviews the archaeological and linguistic evidence for contact between Ireland and the Mediterranean world. Freeman’s analysis of all these sources reveals that Ireland was known to the Greeks and Romans for hundreds of years and that Mediterranean goods and even travelers found their way to Ireland, while the Irish at least occasionally visited, traded, and raided in Roman lands. Everyone interested in ancient Irish history or Classics, whether scholar or enthusiast, will learn much from this pioneering book. / Contents List of Illustrations Introduction CHAPTER ONE The Archaeoiogy of Roman Material in ireland Pre-Roman Material First-Century Material Second-Century Material Third-Century Material Fourth- and Early-Fifth-Century Material CHAPTER TWO Language THE INFLUENCE OF LATIN IN PRE-PATRICIAN IRELAND Latin Loan-Words in Early Irish The Ogam Alphabet and the Latin Grammatical Tradition CHAPTER THREE Ancient Authors Rufius Festus Avienus Sources for the Ora maritima THE HELLENISTIC GEOGRAPHERS Diodorus Siculus Julius Caesar Strabo Isidorus Pomponius Mela Pliny the Elder Pseudo-Aristotle Tacitus Juvenal Dionysius Periegetes Ptolemy Apuleius Herodian Solinus UNATTRIBUTED WORKS Panegyric on Constantins Caesar Maritime Itinerary of Antonius Augustus Panegyric on Constantine Augustus Nomina provinciarum omnium Orphic Argonautica Pacatus Ammianus Marcellinus Unattributed Work Historia Augusta Pseudo-Hegesippus Jerome Prudentius Symmachus Servius Claudian Marcianus Stobaeus no Orosius Pseudo-Agathemerus Stephanus of Byzantium APPENDIX ONE The Greek Alphabet APPENDIX TWO Classical References to Ireland APPENDIX THREE The Names of Ireland References Index.
