The resulting conflicts and the concepts of 'loyalty' and 'obligation', 'gift' and 'bribe', 'treason' and 'patriotism', are explored, throwing fresh light on the elites of the Greek world. 224 pp. 0 521 32541 2 £2 5.00 net The Greek Cosmologists Volume 1: The Formation of the Atomic Theory and its Earliest Critics DAVID FURLEY This book describes the controversy between those who looked for an explanation of the world in its origin and its material components, and those who argued that form and structure were primary and more powerful than matter. The first volume takes the story from its beginnings in Ionian philosophy as far as the formation of the Atomic Theory. The second will describe the cosmology of Plato and Aristotle, the attempt by Epicurean opponents to revive Atomism, and later developments of the debate in classical philosophy. 228 pp. 0 521 33328 8 £25.00 net The Egyptian Hermes A Historical Approach to the Late Pagan Mind GARTH FOWDEN Sage, scientist and sorcerer, Hermes Trismegistus was the culture-hero of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt, who was credited with the authorship of a whole library of books on magic and the supernatural, alchemy, astrology, theology and philosophy. This book is the first investigation of the Hermetic milieu by a social historian. 262 pp. 0 521 32583 8 £27.50 net Propertius: A Hellenistic Poet on Love and Death THEODORE D. PAPANGHELIS This book examines the theme of erotic death which characterised the poetry of Propertius. The author studies the structure, imagery, word-play, ambiguity and allusive technique, of the elegies, revealing a 'learned' and sensuous poet building up his poetry with material whose significance for his aesthetic has not always been appreciated. 248 pp. 0 521 32314 2 £25.00 net Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building, Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 2RU, England
