The Death and Afterlife of AchillesJonathan S. Burgess

Noted classics scholar Jonathan S. Burgess traces the story of Achilles as represented in ancient sources in order to offer a deeper understand-ing of the death and afterlife of the celebrated Greek warrior. With his keen, original analysis of hitherto untapped literary, iconographical, and archaeological sources, Burgess adds greatly to our understanding of this archetypal mythic hero.

—Ronnie Ancona, Hunter College, City University of New York

The Theban PlaysOedipustheKing,OedipusatColonus,AntigoneSophoclestranslated, with notes and an introduction, by Ruth Fainlight and Robert J. Littman

Chronicling the downfall of Oedipus, the legendary king of Thebes, and his descendants, the Theban Plays are as relevant to present thought about love, duty, patriotism, family, and war as when they were written 2,500 years ago. In combining the skills of a distinguished poet and a classical scholar, this new edition of the Theban Plays is both a major work of poetry and a faithful translation of the original works.

NEW!

Constantine and the BishopsThePoliticsofIntoleranceH. A. Drake

“A refreshingly original and powerfully argued re-conception of the issues and the forces at work in this period of the conversion not of Constantine, but of Christianity. A riveting story, and masterfully told.” —New Republic


CovenantTheHistoryofaBiblicalIdeaDelbert R. Hillers

“An unusually good book in which results of the best scholarship are summarized in a lucid, witty, and engaging way . . . For a short intro-duction to the idea of covenant in the ancient Near East and in the Bible, this book is perhaps the best available today.”

—American Ecclesiastical Review
