> EURIPIDES: ANDROMACHAE
> Edited, with an introduction, translation and
> commentary by Michael Lloyd
> Andromache, written in the early years of the
> Peloponnesian War, shows the
> effects of war on the conquerors and the conquered.
> The other main theme
> is the role and nature of women, explored through
> the conflict between the
> contrasting figures of Andromache and Hermione. The
> play has a bold and
> original structure, which finds room for paranoia,
> nymphomania, racialism,
> blackmail, treachery, mental breakdown, elopement
> and revenge. The climax
> is a messenger speech describing the lynching of
> Neoptolemus in the temple
> of Apollo at Delphi.

> edited, with a translation, notes and addenda by
> Alan H. Sommerstein
> In Peace, produced in 421 B.C., Aristophanes
> celebrates in anticipation
> the conclusion, after ten years, of the great war
> with Sparta. Peace, we
> are made to see, is within the grasp of the Greek
> peoples; let them make
> one final effort, and all difficulties and dangers
> will evaporate in the
> joys of feasting and rustic leisure. The substantial
> addition in this
> second edition are eighteen pages of addenda to the
> Notes and
> Bibliography. Contents: Text with facing
> translation, commentary and

> University of Sheffield. All aspects of

> In an age of new uncertainties and threats, real and

> British Association of Near Eastern Archaeologists'
> Annual Meeting
> Edinburgh (Thursday 05 January, 2006 - Saturday 07
> January, 2006)
> Near Eastern archaeologists are now confronted with
> a
> sometimes-bewildering range of mechanisms and
> processes that are deployed
> to explain the “big issues” such as the rise of
> urbanism or the Neolithic
> revolution. This conference intends to address the
> broad range of factors
> that contributed to the development of Near Eastern
> Civilization.
> ‘Environment’ is here considered to embrace both
> social and physical
> contexts. Sessions and workshops will be devoted to
> topics encompassing a
> diverse spectrum of perspectives, techniques and
> data.
