{"product_id":"patterns-of-the-past-alfonso-moreno-9780199668885","title":"Patterns of the Past: Epitedeumata in the Greek Tradition","description":"Classical Greek consistently uses \u003cem\u003eepitedeumata\u003c\/em\u003e to signify 'way of life' or even 'everyday habits', but always refers to practices that are deliberately pursued, not traditions and customs that are passively carried on. In this volume, an international group of leading academics undertake an examination of \u003cem\u003eepitedeumata\u003c\/em\u003e in Greek history, looking at cultural practices as acts which relate meaningfully to perceived sequences of past acts. In doing so, the contributors ask what kinds of attitudes the ancient Greeks had towards their past, and what behaviour such attitudes provoked. Each of the original contributions to this collection focuses on different kinds of \u003cem\u003eepitedeumata\u003c\/em\u003e as act patterns in the Greek world, incorporating religion and myth, political behaviour, sexuality, and historiography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfonso Moreno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199668884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199668885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Alfonso Moreno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579566080255,"sku":"9780199668885","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6b0ee39-caeb-4dcf-8f43-b05f23992d7b.jpg?v=1763875083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patterns-of-the-past-alfonso-moreno-9780199668885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
