| الملخص: | Prevalent among classicists today is the notion that Greeks, Romans, and Jews enhanced their own self-perception by contrasting themselves with the so-called Other -- Egyptians, Phoenicians, Ethiopians, Gauls, and other foreigners -- frequently through hostile stereotypes, distortions, and caricature. Erich Gruen demonstrates how the ancients found connections rather than contrasts, how they expressed admiration for the achievements and principles of other societies, and how they discerned -- and even invented--kinship relations and shared roots with diverse peoples. -- From publisher description |
