Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the way ancient Greeks calculated time and dates in mythology and for historical events. It is an exploration of the foundational principles behind the Delphi calendar system, which emerged out of the Sanctuary of Delphi and profoundly influenced the Greek understanding of history and the sequencing of events. The author posits that the system was based on the concept of human lifespans and that priests calculated time in units of 30-year generations, which they called "aetates." The book also examines the calendar system in use by the Oracle of Delphi, which was closely aligned with the Pythian Games and assigned specific dates to key figures in Greek myths such as Cadmus. The book argues that this method was a crucial tool for the Greeks as they organized the immensely complex web of divine and human interactions within their mythology and history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

This book is an insightful exploration of the origins and evolution of Locrian aristocratic families, set against the backdrop of the political and social transformations of Greece in the fifth century BC. The author, a renowned expert in ancient history, meticulously examines the intricate relationship between these families and the broader Greek world, offering a fresh perspective on the dynamics of power and influence in the period. Drawing upon a wealth of historical sources, the book reconstructs the Locrian families' complex history, tracing their connections to mythological figures and their role in the establishment of Delphi as a religious center.
