Hardcover. 0715629689 .*** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** – – *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED -- Aeschylus’ Persians is not only the first surviving Greek drama. It is also the only tragedy to take for its subject historical rather than mythical events: the repulse of the army of Xerxes at Salamis in 480 B. C. It has frequently been mined for information on the tactics of Salamis or the Greeks’ knowledge of Persian names or institutions, but it also has a broader value, one that has not often been realised. What does it tell us about Greek representations of Persia, or of the Athenians’ self-image? What can we glean from it of the politics of early fifth-century Athens, or of the Athenians’ conception of their empire? How, if at all, can such questions be approached without doing violence to the Persians as a drama? What are the implications of the play for the nature of tragedy? -- REVIEW: "The Emptiness of Asia by Thomas Harrison (Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of St. Andrews) is a literary study of Aeschylus' "Persai" alongside Herodotus' "Histories", which will provide the reader with comprehensive understanding what actually happened at the battle of Salamis and afterwards. A scholarly dissection of political and ideological motivating factors underpinning "Persai" in the context of the times, The Emptiness of Asia is a fascinating and thoughtfully insightful analysis -- and a welcome addition to Hellenic Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists." -- The Midwest Book Review - - "This is a vigorous and captivating book with a mighty sting in its tail. Tom Harrison does what many have done before, he reads Aeschylus’ Persai alongside Herodotus’ Histories. But...he compares them to reveal the commonplaces and assumptions about Persia that shaped not only the writing of the play, but the reactions of the audiences. The powerful account of the play’s political and ideological force that results overturns a century of modern scholarship, unmasking the projections of their own views that literary critics have wished upon the play and questioning our romantic assertion of the uniqueness of classical Athenian culture." -- Robin Osborne -- -- TABLE OF CONTENTS: Acknowledgements * Abbreviations * Introduction * Part I.
