Información de la editorial

What drove the ancient Greeks to explore human nature and invent Western politics? This book argues that the Greeks believed speech made humans different from other animals. But, this zoological comparison also provided the metaphorical means for viewing those 'lacking' authoritative speech--women, barbarians, and slaves, etc.--as bestial. This link between speech, humanity, and status is revealed through close study of both Homeric epics, classical Athenian culture, Aeschylus' Oresteia, and Plato's Dialogues.

Descripción:

Cambridge University Press, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. Publisher's gilt lettered hardback: firm and square, strong joints. Complete with original dustjacket, showing well. Just slightly rubbed and very mildly bumped. Hence a non-text page is stamped 'damaged'. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus it looks and feels unread with contents that are crisp, fresh and tight. Size: 235mm x 160mm. Pages: vii, 392. Fully indexed. This book explores how the ancient Greeks regarded the capacity of speech as the defining human characteristic.
