Item description from seller

280 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - spine faded, perfect condition - Aristocratic Society in Ancient Crete, first published in 1955, investigates the emergence and progress of Dorian society on Crete from the 8th century BC onwards. The major contribution of Cretan culture in this period was in the field of law law and order are traditionally linked, and Dorian Crete remained steadfast in its pursuit of order. The author offers an explanation for the protracted aristocratic character of Cretan society, basing his study on the crucial Code of Gortyna. -- The primitive foundations of the social system are examined, illuminating the tribal institutions which formed the basis of the aristocratic states which developed. The four classes of the Cretan states, and the mutual relations of these classes, are defined, and the stages whereby family institutions developed are analysed. Finally, political and judicial organisation is scrutinised, and the Cretan culture is situated in the wider horizon of Mediterranean civilisation. - Primitive Foundations -- The Gortyn Code and Age Distinctions -- Tribal Nomenclature -- The Classes -- The Free -- The Apetairoi -- The Serfs -- The Slaves -- The Family -- The Oikos -- Adoption -- The Heiress -- Adultery and Divorce -- Death of Husband or Wife -- Children Born Out of Wedlock -- Division of the Inheritance -- The State -- The Political System: Epigraphic Evidence -- The Political System: Literary Evidence -- The Political System: Comparison of Epigraphic and Literary Evidence -- The Bureaucracy -- Official Buildings -- Judges and Judicial Procedure -- Some Further Types of State Legislation: Water Supplies, Funerals, Damages, Security and Mortgage, Arbitration -- The Wider Context -- Internal and External Relationships of the States: The Cretan Koinon, War and Diplomacy, Piracy and Mercenary Service -- Development and Characteristics of the Cretan Aristocratic States.
