Description

A Cultural History of Memory presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. The set of six volumes covers over 2500 years of history, charting the evolving nature and role of peace throughout history. This volume, A Cultural History of Memory in Antiquity, explores peace in the period from 800 BC to 500 AD. As with all the volumes in the illustrated Cultural History of Memory set, this volume presents essays on memory and: power and politics; time and space; media and technology; science and education; philosophy, religion and history, high culture and popular culture; rituals, faith, practices and the everyday; and remembering and forgetting. A Cultural History of Memory in Antiquity is the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on memory in the classical era.
