The Greco-Persian Wars Green, Peter, 1924-; Green, Peter, 1924- Xerxes at Salamis Berkeley: University of California Press, University of California Press, [N.p.], 1996

This is a reissue, with a new introduction and an update to the bibliography, of the original edition, published in 1970 as The Year of Salamis in England and as Xerxes at Salamis in the U.S. The long and bitter struggle between the great Persian Empire and the fledgling Greek states reached its high point with the extraordinary Greek victory at Salamis in 480 B.C. The astonishing sea battle banished forever the specter of Persian invasion and occupation. Peter Green brilliantly retells this historic moment, evoking the whole dramatic sweep of events that the Persian offensive set in motion. The massive Greek victory, despite the Greeks' inferior numbers, opened the way for the historic evolution of the Greek states in a climate of creativity, independence, and democracy, one that provided a model and an inspiration for centuries to come. Green's accounts of both Persian and Greek strategies are clear and persuasive; equally convincing are his everyday details regarding the lives of soldiers, statesmen, and ordinary citizens. He has first-hand knowledge of the land and sea he describes, as well as full command of original sources and modern scholarship. With a new foreword, The Greco-Persian Wars is a book that lovers of fine historical writing will greet with pleasure.

Argonautika : the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts Mary Zimmerman; Peter Green; David R. Slavitt Evanston, Ill.: Northwestern University Press, Evanston, Ill, Illinois, 2013

As in her Tony Awardwinning Metamorphoses , Mary Zimmerman transforms Greek mythologyhere the story of Jason and the Argonautsinto a mesmerizing piece of theater. Encountering an array of daunting challenges in their first voyage of the world, Jason and his crew illustrate the essence of all such journeys to followtheir unpredictability, their inspiring and overwhelming breadth of emotion, their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss. Bursts of humor and fantastical creatures enrich a story whose characters reveal remarkable complexity. Medea is profoundly sympathetic even as the seeds are sown for the monstrous life ahead of her, and the brute strength of Hercules leaves him no less vulnerable to the vicissitudes of love. Zimmerman brings to Argonautika her trademark ability to encompass the full range of human experience in a work as entertaining as it is enlightening.

From Ikaria to the Stars : Classical Mythification, Ancient and Modern Peter Green Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, University of Texas Press, Austin, TX, 2004

Annotation I Hadn't, Till I Really Started Digging, Gauged The Fierce Intensity Of The Need For Myth In The Human Psyche, Of Any Age, Or Sensed The Variety Of Motives Dictating That Need, Writes Peter Green In The Introduction To This Wide-ranging Collection Of Essays On Classical Mythology And The Mythic Experience. Using The Need For Myth As The Starting Point For Exploring A Number Of Topics In Greek Mythology And History, Green Advances New Ideas About Why The Human Urge To Make Myths Persists So Across The Millennia And Why The Borderland Between Mythology And History Can Sometimes Be Hard To Map. Green Looks At Both Specific Problems In Classical Mythology And Larger Theoretical Issues. His Explorations Underscore How Mythic Expression Opens A Door Into Non-rational And Quasi-rational Modes Of Thought In Which It Becomes Possible To Rewrite Painful Truths And Unacceptable History--which Is, Green Argues, A Dangerous Enterprise. His Study Of The Intersections Between Classical Mythology And Greek History Ultimately Drives Home A Larger Point, The Degree Of Mythification And Deception (of Oneself No Less Than Of Others) Of Which The Human Mind Is Capable.

The Argonautika: The Story of Jason and the Quest for the Golden Fleece (Hellenistic Culture and Society) by Apollonios Rhodius; translated, with introduction and glossary, by Peter Green Berkeley: University of California Press, Hellenistic culture and society, 25, Pr. 3, 3rd print, Berkeley, 2001

Jason And The Argonauts' Quest For The Golden Fleece Is Probably The Oldest Extant Greek Myth. Homer Referred To It As Something Familiar To All. At One Level This Story Is A Classic Fairy Tale: The Young Prince Is Sent On A Perilous Expedition And Triumphs Over The Obstacles Put In His Path - From Clashing Rocks To Fire-breathing Bulls - To Win Not Only The Fleece But Also The Hand Of The Medeia, The Daughter Of King Aietes, Who Rules Over Kolchis. In Addition To Telling Of The Prince's Quest, The Myth Also Hints At Accounts Of Early Exploration And Colonizing Ventures, Since The Argonauts Returned Home Via Italy And Sicily After Navigating Several Of Europe's Great Rivers, Including The Po And The Rhone. Although The Myth Is Old, The Poem's Treatment Of It Is Hellenistic - In Effect, Modern. Jason Emerges As An All-too-human Everyman With The One Real Talent Of Being Able To Make Women Fall In Love With Him. Medeia Becomes A Major Character: A Virgin Sorceress Whose Magic Yields Jason's Triumph Yet Cannot Save Her From Her Own Infatuation. The Supporting Cast Of Manipulative Goddesses Behave Uncommonly Like Middle-class Hellenistic Ladies. Together, The Combination Of Age-old Myth And Modern Treatment Produces A Gripping And Unforgettable Narrative. Peter Green Has Translated This Renowned Poem With Skill And Wit, Offering A Refreshing Interpretation Of A Timeless Story. His Commentary - The First On All Four Books Since Mooney's In 1912 - Both Sheds Light In Dark Places And Takes Account Of The Recent Upsurge Of Scholarly Interest In Apollonios. By Apollonios Rhodios ; Translated, With Introduction And Glossary By Peter Green. The Joan Palevsky Imprint In Classical Literature--half T.p.

The Hellenistic Age: A Short History (Modern Library Chronicles) Peter Green, 1924- New York: Modern Library, Modern Library chronicles book -- 27, Modern Library chronicles -- 27, Modern Library ed., 1st ed, New York, New York State, 2007

The Hellenistic era witnessed the overlap of antiquityâs two great Western civilizations, the Greek and the Roman. This was the epoch of Alexanderâs vast expansion of the Greco-Macedonian world, the rise and fall of his successorsâ major dynasties in Egypt and Asia, and, ultimately, the establishment of Rome as the first Mediterranean superpower. The Hellenistic Age chronicles the years 336 to 30 BCE, from the days of Philip and Alexander of Macedon to the death of Cleopatra and the final triumph of Caesarâs heir, the young Augustus. Peter Greenâs remarkably far-ranging study covers the prevalent themes and events of those centuries: the Hellenization of an immense swath of the known worldâfrom Egypt to Indiaâby Alexanderâs conquests; the lengthy and chaotic partition of this empire by rival Macedonian marshals after Alexanderâs death; the decline of the polis (city state) as the predominant political institution; and, finally, Romeâs moment of transition from republican to imperial rule. Predictably, this is a story of war and power-politics, and of the developing fortunes of art, science, and statecraft in the areas where Alexanderâs coming disseminated Hellenic culture. It is a rich narrative tapestry of warlords, libertines, philosophers, courtesans and courtiers, dramatists, historians, scientists, merchants, mercenaries, and provocateurs of every stripe, spun by an accomplished classicist with an uncanny knack for infusing life into the distant past, and applying fresh insights that make ancient history seem alarmingly relevant to our own times. To consider the three centuriesprior to the dawn of the common era in a single short volume demands a scholar with a great command of both subject and narrative line. The Hellenistic Age is that rare book that manages to coalesce a broad spectrum of events, persons, and themes into one brief, indispensable, and amazingly accessible survey.

Diodorus Siculus, books 11-12.37.1 : Greek history 480-431 B.C., the alternative version Diodorus, Siculus; Green, Peter, 1924- Austin: University of Texas Press, University of Texas Press, Austin, 2006

2007 A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Book Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus (ca. 100-30 BCE) is our only surviving source for a continuous narrative of Greek history from Xerxes' invasion to the Wars of the Successors following the death of Alexander the Great. Yet this important historian has been consistently denigrated as a mere copyist who slavishly reproduced the works of earlier historians without understanding what he was writing. By contrast, in this iconoclastic work Peter Green builds a convincing case for Diodorus' merits as a historian. Through a fresh English translation of a key portion of his multi-volume history (the so-called Bibliotheke, or "Library") and a commentary and notes that refute earlier assessments of Diodorus, Green offers a fairer, better balanced estimate of this much-maligned historian. The portion of Diodorus' history translated here covers the period 480-431 BCE, from the Persian invasion of Greece to the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War. This half-century, known as the Pentekontaetia, was the Golden Age of Periclean Athens, a time of unprecedented achievement in drama, architecture, philosophy, historiography, and the visual arts. Green's accompanying notes and commentary revisit longstanding debates about historical inconsistencies in Diodorus' work and offer thought-provoking new interpretations and conclusions. In his masterful introductory essay, Green demolishes the traditional view of Diodorus and argues for a thorough critical reappraisal of this synthesizing historian, who attempted nothing less than a "universal history" that begins with the gods of mythology and continues down to the eve of Julius Caesar's Gallic campaigns.

Alexander of Macedon, 356-323 B.C. : a historical biography Peter Green, Peter Green Berkeley: University of California Press, Hellenistic culture and society ; 11, 1st California pbk. ed., Berkeley, Calif, 1974

Until recently, popular biographers and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. His dream was at times characterized as a benevolent interest in the brotherhood of man, sometimes as a brute interest in the exercise of power. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a man capable of such diverse expediencies as patricide or the massacre of civilians. Green describes his Alexander as "not only the most brilliant (and ambitious) field commander in history, but also supremely indifferent to all those administrative excellences and idealistic yearnings foisted upon him by later generations, especially those who found the conqueror, tout court, a little hard upon their liberal sensibilities." This biography begins not with one of the universally known incidents of Alexander's life, but with an account of his father, Philip of Macedonia, whose many-territoried empire was the first on the continent of Europe to have an effectively centralized government and military. What Philip and Macedonia had to offer, Alexander made his own, but Philip and Macedonia also made Alexander form an important context for understanding Alexander himself. Yet his origins and training do not fully explain the man. After he was named hegemon of the Hellenic League, many philosophers came to congratulate Alexander, but one was conspicuous by his Diogenes the Cynic, an ascetic who lived in a clay tub. Piqued and curious, Alexander himself visited the philosopher, who, when asked if there was anything Alexander could do for him, made the famous reply, "Don't stand between me and the sun." Alexander's courtiers jeered, but Alexander silenced "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." This remark was as unexpected in Alexander as it would be in a modern leader. For the general reader, the book, redolent with gritty details and fully aware of Alexander's darker side, offers a gripping tale of Alexander's career. Full backnotes, fourteen maps, and chronological and genealogical tables serve readers with more specialized interests.

Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age (Hellenistic Culture and Society) Green, Peter, 1924- Berkeley : University of California Press, University of California Press, Berkeley, 1990

xxiii, 970 pages : 26 cm, The Hellenistic Age, the three extraordinary centuries from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C. to Octavian's final defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, has offered a rich and variegated field of exploration for historians, philosophers, economists, and literary critics. Yet few scholars have attempted the daunting task of seeing the period whole, of refracting its achievements and reception through the lens of a single critical mind. Alexander to Actium was conceived and written to fill that gap. In this monumental work, Peter Green--noted scholar, writer, and critic--breaks with the traditional practice of dividing the Hellenistic world into discrete, repetitious studies of Seleucids, Ptolemies, Antigonids, and Attalids. He instead treats these successor kingdoms as a single, evolving, interrelated continuum. The result clarifies the political picture as never before. With the help of over 200 illustrations, Green surveys every significant aspect of Hellenistic cultural development, from mathematics to medicine, from philosophy to religion, from literature to the visual arts. Green offers a particularly trenchant analysis of what has been seen as the conscious dissemination in the East of Hellenistic culture, and finds it largely a myth fueled by Victorian scholars seeking justification for a no longer morally respectable imperialism. His work leaves us with a final impression of the Hellenistic Age as a world with haunting and disturbing resemblances to our own.

The Iliad : A New Translation by Peter Green Homer; Peter Green Oakland, California: University of California Press, University of California Press, Oakland, California, 2015

One of the oldest extant works of Western literature, the Iliad is a timeless epic poem of great warriors trapped between their own heroic pride and the arbitrary, often vicious decisions of fate and the gods. Renowned scholar and acclaimed translator Peter Green captures the Iliad in all its surging thunder for a new generation of readers.Featuring an enticingly personal introduction, a detailed synopsis of each book, a wide-ranging glossary, and explanatory notes for the few puzzling in-text items, the book also includes a select bibliography for those who want to learn more about Homer and the Greek epic. This landmark translation—specifically designed, like the oral original, to be read aloud—will soon be required reading for every student of Greek antiquity, and the great traditions of history and literature to which it gave birth.

The Laughter of Aphrodite : A Novel About Sappho of Lesbos Peter Green, Peter Green Berkeley: University of California Press, University of California Press, [N.p.], 2023

Best-selling classicist Peter Green recreates the life and times of the Greek lyric poet Sappho in this beautifully conceived, sharply detailed work of historical imagination. We meet Sappho at the age of fifty, when she is shaken by her fatal and final love affair with Phaon. She narrates her own story from the vantage point of self-questioning middle age, and her candid meditations make intimate, engrossing reading.Only fragments of Sappho's poetry survive. In imagining Sappho's life Green found his task'rather like that of an archaeologist reassembling some amphora from hundreds of shards—of which more than half are missing.'Yet, in his synthesis of historical evidence and ebullient invention, Green produces a seamless, moving, and persuasive portrait. He recreates Sappho's life by interweaving her surviving poetry into the narrative, not as quotations, but as her own imagined speeches and thoughts.Sappho's life spanned one of the most exciting periods in Greek history. Green's novel, full of details about daily life on ancient Lesbos, draws the reader into the political and social climate of her world: the civil strife accompanying the transition from aristocracy to mercantilism, the household relations between slave and aristocrat, the details of sea travel in the Aegean. Green wrote the novel while living on Lesbos, and his graceful rendering of the landscape, the rhythms of the seasons, and the varied flora of Sappho's island pervades the narrative.Sappho's poetry reveals a direct, spontaneous woman who eschewed artifice and embellishment. Green's extraordinary talent captures those qualities and brings this woman of unflinching honesty very much to life.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

Sixteen Satires, 3rd Edition (Penguin Classics) Juvenal; translated with an introduction and notes by Peter Green Penguin Classics, Penguin classics, 3rd ed., London, New York, England, 1998

Juvenal's Satires create a fascinating (and immediately familiar) world of whores, fortune-tellers, boozy politicians, slick lawyers, shameless sycophants, ageing flirts and downtrodden teachers. Perhaps more than any other writer, Juvenal (c. AD 55-138) captures the splendour, the squalor and the sheer vibrant energy of everyday Roman life. A member of the traditional land-owning class, which was rapidly seeing power slip into the hands of dynamic outsiders, he offers equally savage portraits of decadent aristocrats, women interested only in 'rough trade' like actors and gladiators, and the jumped-up sons of panders and auctioneers. He constantly compares the corruption of his own generation with its stern upright forebears. And he makes us feel from within the deep humiliation of having to dance attendance on rich but odious patrons. For this third edition, Green's celebrated translation has been substantially revised to bring it still closer to the tone and structure of Juvenal's Latin and to take into account all important scholarship of the past quarter-century.

A concise history of Ancient Greece : to the close of the classical era Peter Green, Peter Green [London]: Thames and Hudson, 1st paperback ed. --, London, England, 1979

The influence of the Greeks on Western society has been greater and more fundamental than that of any other nation. Peter Green's authoritative and witty study of Greece during the centuries which proceeded the Hellenistic age is written with all the stylistic and intellectual verve that has brought him a huge following. After considering the mass of evidence which exists today to build up our picture of prehistoric Greece, he describes the culture of Minoan Crete; the Mycenaean civilization in Homeric tradition and in historical fact; the flowering in culture and political thought which began in the mid-eighth century BC; the growth of Athenian democracy; Hellenism; the Persian Wars; and the reversion of authoritarianism in the age which ended with the death of Alexander in 323 BC. Throughout, Green draws the strands of the story together into two major themes: exploration and discovery - both in a literal and creative sense - and the Greek impulse to set the world in order. The result departs radically from the traditional military-political narrative, giving an entertaining and informative picture of the period, complemented by a wide variety of illustrations.

Hellenistic History and Culture (Volume 9) (Hellenistic Culture and Society) edited and with an introduction by Peter Green Berkeley: University of California Press, University of California Press, Berkeley, 1993

In a 1988 conference, American and British scholars unexpectedly discovered that their ideas were converging in ways that formed a new picture of the variegated Hellenistic mosaic. That picture emerges in these essays and eloquently displays the breadth of modern interest in the Hellenistic Age.A distrust of all ideologies has altered old views of ancient political structures, and feminism has also changed earlier assessments. The current emphasis on multiculturalism has consciously deemphasized the Western, Greco-Roman tradition, and Nubians, Bactrians, and other subject peoples of the time are receiving attention in their own right, not just as recipients of Greco-Roman culture.History, like Herakleitos'river, never stands still. These essays share a collective sense of discovery and a sparking of new ideas—they are a welcome beginning to the reexploration of a fascinatingly complex age.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

编辑推荐:仅仅是亚历山大这个名字就可以唤起无穷的想象力,然而这是一个我们过于熟悉,但实际上又知之甚少的名字。他令年轻的恺撒羞愧满面,激发了后世从穆罕默德二世到拿破仑等一系列的伟大的征服者,他把希腊文化带到东方,又在从埃及到阿富汗兴建了一系列名为亚历山大里亚的城市。从阿拉伯到印度等地,到处都有他的传说,然后亚历山大究竟是谁,他是纯粹天才的产物还是环境的造物?本书将带着我们回到两千多年前的马其顿,从一切的起源开始讲起,让我们追随这位伟大征服者的脚步,踏上通往撒马尔罕之旅,寻找位于世界边缘的大洋。内容简介:本书是众多亚历山大传记中的一部里程碑式著作,作者彼得•格林在一个多世纪以来的亚历山大学术史的基础上,一方面充分利用了现代考古学的成果,一方面对传统史料做出了别具一格的选用和甄别,栩栩如生地描述了亚历山大的一生。在书中,他拨开了围绕在亚历山大身上的诸多迷雾,让读者得以窥视这位世界征服者复杂的内心世界,成功刻画了一位集军事天才、独裁者和伟大领袖于一身的人物。彼得•格林曾在雅典教学多年,十分熟悉希腊的地理状况,多年翻译古希腊诗歌的经验让他具备了出色的文学素养,因此,前希腊化时代地中海世界的风貌在他的笔下生动地呈现出来,让读者获得一种沉浸式的阅读体验。媒体推荐:"一部充满活力、高度可读的传记......在这些热情洋溢的叙述中,这段历史栩栩如生......格林剥去了各种浪漫传奇故事的外衣,把这位奥威尔式的暴君的本质暴露出来。在他的叙述中,亚历山大无止境地追求绝对权力,最终导致他脱离了现实。——《出版者周刊》极为出色的人物研究......在这段错综复杂的叙事中,充满了阴谋、战斗、签订又被撕毁了的协议......本书行文流畅,叙事紧凑,文字清晰,格林对原材料的使用驾轻就熟。书中浸透了格林对那段绚丽、癫狂、辉煌的时代的历史感,在那个时代,一个躁动不安的金色半神把希腊主义永远地刻进了历史和传奇之中。本书极为出色地传达了亚历山大令人惊叹的一生。......极为了不起的传记——同时还是对古代世界的权力政治的优秀研究。——《科克斯评论》当你阅读彼得•格林的让人着迷的亚历山大传记时......你会感觉到这个神话一般的故事的每一条谜线都被揭开......对古代世界的充满虚荣的帝国式夸耀的叙述,格林采取了一个极为大胆的修正主义立场。——克里斯托弗•希金斯,《洛杉矶时报书评》在每个时代,东方和西方的文化都会不停地把亚历山大的故事按照一系列的英雄模式来塑造,也一直在重新塑造。不过,根据彼得•格林这部让人印象深刻的传记,这些神话完全可能比亚历山大本人更让人仰慕。——埃里希•西格尔,《华盛顿邮报图书世界》作者简介:
