{"product_id":"not-the-classical-ideal-9789004116184","title":"Not the Classical Ideal","description":"A vision of reality in which a pre-eminent human type was defined in opposition to non-ideal 'Others' characterized ancient Greece. In democratic Athens the social structure privileged male citizens, and women, resident aliens, and slaves were marginalized. The Persian Wars polarized the opposition of Greeks and Barbarians.\u003cbr\u003eThis anthology provides the first investigation of the delineation of otherness across a broad spectrum of the imagery of Greek art. An international cast of authors, with methodologies ranging from traditional to avant-garde, examines manifestations of the Other in Late Archaic and Classical Greek representations that particularly interest them.\u003cbr\u003eThe 17 chapters develop a nuanced picture of the visual criteria that denoted otherness in regard to gender, class, and ethnicity and also reveal the social and political functions of this remarkable Greek imagery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/title\/6873\" target=\"_blank\"\u003epaperback\u003c\/a\u003e (ISBN 9789004117129)","brand":"Beth Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268733350139,"sku":"9789004116184","price":251.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_f67519a4-c014-4c1a-a53b-7d1ded6a6b1d.jpg?v=1770940267","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/not-the-classical-ideal-9789004116184","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
