  • When Greek was an African Language

  • Greek and Roman Views of Ancient Nubia

    Stanley M BursteinCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    This article traces the history of Greek and Roman views about Nubia from the end of the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity. Throughout this period, knowledge of Nubia was mediated through Egypt. As a result, it is clear that knowledge of the geography and ethnography of Nubia fluctuated with the extent of involvement in Egypt, expanding in the 5th century bce, again in the 3rd century bce and finally in the late 1st century bce, periods when contact b…

  • Africa

    Open AccessStanley M Burstein, Stanley BursteinCHAPTERCambridge World History2015

    The city of Constantinople, among the most distinctive and consequential European creations of late antiquity, presents itself as a witness to the various transformations that take place between the fourth and the ninth centuries CE. Late antiquity, especially as it relates to Europe, may accordingly be characterized as a period of disruption, transition, and transformation away from a Mediterranean-centered, late Roman imperial political and soc…

  • Imagination of a Monarchy

    Stanley M Burstein, R A HazzardARTICLEPhoenix2002

    Scholars have long known that the Egyptian Ptolemaic monarchy underwent a transformation between 323 and 30 BC. The queens of that dynasty started as subordinates of the kings but ended as their superiors. Exactly when and how this change occurred has proven problematic for modern scholars. R.A. Hazzard argues that this change was put in motion by Ptolemy II, who glorified his sister ArsinoT and made acceptable a civilian style of kingship based …

  • Land of Enchanters

    Tara Thielhelm, Bernard Lewis et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2002

    Several civilizations have risen, flourished and fallen in the valley of the Nile, each with its own religion, language, culture, institutions and style of life. Yet beneath them all a certain basic unity persisted. In few fields can this continuity of social life be seen more clearly than in the love of tales and in the manner of telling them. One of the oldest stories known to humanity, that of Sinuhe, shows a subtlety, a self-consciousness and…

  • Ancient African Civilizations. Kush and Axum

  • Science in the Early Roman Empire

    Stanley M Burstein, Roger French et al.ARTICLEThe History Teacher1988

    The studies collected in this book represent the newest research being done on this important and difficult figure. If Rome is not always regarded as the most natural home for the scientific spiritothat seeming rather to characterize Greeceoparticular problems are raised by the effort Pliny had to make to transfer his Greek sources into a Roman form and context. The papers seek to locate Pliny in his social and intellectual milieu, to survey his …

  • The Hellenistic Age from the Battle of Ipsos to the Death of Kleopatra VII

    Open AccessStanley M BursteinBOOKHellenistic Age from the Battle…1985

    Greek and Roman history has largely been reconstructed from the works of Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, and other major authors who are today well represented in English translations. But much equally valuable documentary material is buried in inscriptions and papyri and in the works of Greek and Roman grammarians and scholars, and less well known historians and literary figures, of whose writings only isolated quotations have been preserv…

  • Myth and Thought among the Greeks

    Stanley M BursteinREVIEWThe History Teacher1985

    When Jean-Pierre Vernant first published and Thought among the Greeks in 1965, it transformed the field of ancient Greek scholarship, calling forth a new way to think about Greek myth and thought. In eighteen essays--three of which, along with a new preface, are translated into English for the first time--Vernant freed the subject of ancient Greece from its philological chains and reread the questions of muthos and logos within multifaced and tra…
