A Student Commentary on Pausanias Book 1 (Michigan Classical Commentaries)

"Patrick Paul Hogan's A Student Commentary on Pausanias Book 1 introduces the first book of Pausanias' 'Description of Greece' to students of Classical Greek. Pausanias' second century CE work is the only surviving ancient description of the monuments and artwork of mainland Greece. Book 1 of the 'Description' covers Athens, its demes, and Megara--that is, Attica, the heart of the ancient Greek world. It offers not only a walking description of buildings, statues, and artwork by an ancient traveler but also insight into the mindset of an educated Greek of the Roman imperial age: his reaction to Roman domination and Classical Greek history and culture, his deeply felt religious beliefs, and his ideas regarding Hellenism and Hellenic identity. This textbook, the first on Pausanias aimed at students in almost a century, brings Pausanias back into the classroom for a new generation of readers. It is based on the Greek text edited by M.H. Rocha-Pereira and includes philological and historical commentary by Hogan. This volume elucidates difficult syntax and helps the reader with the immense number of names and places Pausanias mentions. It is suitable for students of Classical Greek at the graduate and undergraduate levels, whether Classical philologists or Classical archaeologists and art historians. Professors of archaeology will find this textbook an excellent starting point for any course on Pausanias and easily supplemented by their own knowledge of material remains and modern finds" --

A Student Commentary on Pausanias Book 2 (Michigan Classical Commentaries)

In the ten books of his Periegesis, or “Description of Greece,” the ancient Greek traveler Pausanias (second century CE) describes the central regions of ancient Greece, giving his readers a wealth of information about religious rites, indigenous myths, historical events, sculptural and artistic works, temples, local customs, and much more. In A Student Commentary on Pausanias Book 2, Patrick Paul Hogan provides intermediate-level students of Classical Greek the necessary linguistic, historical, mythographical, archaeological, and geographical information to read and comprehend Book 2 of Pausanias’ Periegesis. Book 2 of Pausanias’ work covers several major cities of the northeast Peloponnesus, principally Corinth but also Argos, Epidaurus, and Troezen, as well as the prominent island of Aegina. In A Student Commentary on Pausanias Book 1, Hogan reintroduced students to Pausanias after nearly a century. In this new volume he does not focus exclusively on the topography and material remains of the areas he describes: his line-by-line commentary on Pausanias’ text devotes equal attention to explicating the vocabulary and syntax of the Greek and putting into context the myriad historical and mythological references found throughout the text, for example, the life of the Sicyonian politician Aratus and the myth of Hyrnetho, daughter of Temenus. A Student Commentary on Pausanias Book 2 includes the full text of Book 2 in Classical Greek together with Hogan’s commentary. The book is accessible to intermediate-level students, whether undergraduates or graduate students, who are ready to read extended passages of Classical Greek prose, and will also be of interest to scholars of the topography, history, and mythology of ancient Greece, specifically the Argolid.

WHAT HAPPENED IN VIETNAM DIDN'T STAY IN VIETNAM. IT CAME HOME WITH US!Silent Spring – Deadly Autumn of the Vietnam War is both a memoir and an investigative journey into all the complications the U.S. government hasn’t told you about the Vietnam War. It’s not just another book about Vietnam or Agent Orange. Rather it’s a “silver bullet” which cuts through to the heart of the circumstances and pesticides used during that war—highly toxic herbicides and insecticides, which in some cases are still being used to this very day all over the globe, even right here in the USA.So, forget everything you’ve heard from our government and everything that you think you know about the Vietnam War because this book is much more than a memoir of one Vietnam veteran’s struggles over the decades following the war. It’s a story of all the veterans who served in Vietnam and their children. And it could even be the story of you and your children, too. As you read through the book and its volumes of information, you will be absolutely stunned at what the US government had willingly dumped on Vietnam and its own troops.

What would you say if I told you there are disturbing things the US Government hasn’t told you about the Vietnam War and doesn’t want you to know? Things such as all the rainbow-colored pesticides and the disabling effect they had on US service personnel. Actually, if the truth be told, the Vietnam War is still providing plenty of nightmarish headaches for US political representatives and even today, after more than half a century, the Vietnam War is still killing and claiming the lives of personnel who fought there. Silent Spring - Deadly Autumn of the Vietnam War was not written to give you a rosy picture of the Vietnam War. But rather it asks you to consider and question everything you think you know about the most contested war in US history. It’s a book that cuts through to the heart of the circumstances and deadly chemicals used throughout the war. Many of them still being used all over America, even today! The work is more than a memoir; it’s an investigative journey into the conditions US service personnel served under. And the scars they carried with them for decades. It’s a surreal voyage into everything the government hasn’t told you about Vietnam. So, forget everything you’ve heard and what you think you know about the Vietnam War because you will be absolutely astonished by what the US government had willingly dumped on Vietnam—their allies—and even their own troops. What happened in Vietnam … didn’t stay in Vietnam. It came home with us!
