Landscape And Power In Ancient Mesoamerica

Landscape And Power In Ancient Mesoamerica

From the early cities in the second millennium BC to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan on the eve of the Spanish conquest Ancient Mesoamericans created landscapes full of meaning and power in the center of their urban spaces. The sixteenth century description of Tenochtitlan by Bernal Diaz del Castillo and the archaeological remnants of Teotihuacan attest to the power and centrality of these urban configurations in Ancient Mesoamerican history. In Landscape and Power in Ancient Mesoamerica Rex Koontz Kathryn Reese-Taylor and Annabeth Headrick explore the cultural logic that structured and generated these centers. Through case studies of specific urban spaces and their meanings the authors examine the general principles by which the Ancient Mesoamericans created meaningful urban space. In a profoundly interdisciplinary exchange involving both archaeologists and art historians this volume connects the symbolism of those landscapes the performances that activated this symbolism and the cultural poetics of these ensembles.

Historiography and Mythography in the Aristotelian Mirabilia

Historiography and Mythography in the Aristotelian Mirabilia

This is the first full-length volume in English that focuses on the historiographical section of the Mirabilia or De mirabilibus auscultationibus (On Marvelous Things Heard) attributed to Aristotle but not in fact by him. The central section of the Mirabilia namely §§ 78–151 for the most part deals with historiographical material with many of its entries having some relationship to ancient Greek historians of the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. The chapters in this volume discuss various aspects of this portion of the text including textual issues involving toponyms; possible structural principles behind the organization of this section; the passages on Theopompus and Timaeus; mythography; the philosopher Heracleides of Pontos; Homeric exegesis; and the interrelationship between pseudo-Plutarch’s On Rivers a section of the historian Stobaeus’ Geography and the Mirabilia. Historiography and Mythography in the Aristotelian Mirabilia is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of this text and of Greek philosophy historiography and literature more broadly.
