Ctesias’ Persica and Its Near Eastern Context
Matt Waters

“A pleasure to read. Waters opens new paths in Ctesian studies, showing that the Persica is not merely the product of a Greek playing literary games, but may actually have its origins in genuine documents from the ancient Near East.”
—Jan Pieter Stronk, editor and translator of Ctesias’ Persian History, Part 1

The Athenian Adonia in Context
The Adonis Festival as Cultural Practice
Laurilan Reitzammer

“Persuasively reinterprets the Adonia as a ritual that brought Athenian women’s dissenting voices into the public arena to critique male social institutions and values. This innovative work draws on an immense range of ancient sources—literary, documentary, artistic, and material.”
—Laura McClure, series editor
