Le prestige d'Olympie est universel, et la renommée de ses Jeux fut telle, depuis toujours, qu'elle a provoqué leur résurrection il y a un siècle. Son site, moins connu ou fréquenté que ceux d'Athènes ou de Delphes, touche le visiteur par la beauté, la douceur et la charge d'émotion qui l'imprègnent. Abondamment fouillé et étudié, c'est surtout sous l'angle archéologique ou sous celui de l'histoire de l'art qu'il est généralement présenté. Dans la mesure où notre tradition culturelle méconnaît l'importance du sport dans le monde grec, réduit à une simple valeur esthétique, nous avons choisi non seulement de restituer le sanctuaire et ses légendes fondatrices, mais plus encore de le faire revivre dans sa raison d'être, les Jeux, à travers leur déroulement, leurs aspects religieux ou techniques, leur impact politique et culturel. Lieu de pèlerinage, terre de rassemblement par-delà les conflits, le nom magique du sanctuaire d'Olympie a évoqué pendant toute l'Antiquité le sommet de la gloire athlétique. Durant au moins douze siècles, il a symbolisé le sport et sa fraternité. Il offre aujourd'hui encore un des plus beaux modèles d'humanité. « Patrimoine de la Méditerranée » : une collection qui se propose de retrouver l'esprit des lieux, de les faire revivre à travers leur histoire, de susciter l'imagination du passé. Chaque ouvrage, s'appuyant sur les acquis les plus récents de la recherche, s'organise autour d'un thème privilégié.

Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Galen presents a comprehensive account of the afterlife of the corpus of the second-century AD Greek physician Galen of Pergamum. In 31 chapters, written by a range of experts in the field, it shows how Galen was adopted, adapted, admired, contested, and criticised across diverse intellectual environments and geographical regions, from Late Antiquity to the present day, and from Europe to North Africa, the Middle and the Far East. The volume offers both introductory material and new analysis on the transmission and dissemination of Galen’s works and ideas through translations into Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Hebrew and other languages, the impact of Galenic thought on medical practice, as well as his influence in non-medical contexts, including philosophy and alchemy.

The word "freedom" is so overly used-and frequently abused-that it is always in danger of becoming nothing but a cliché. In Another Freedom, Svetlana Boym offers us a refreshing new portrait of the age-old concept. Exploring the rich cross-cultural history of the idea of freedom, from its origins in ancient Greece to the present day, she argues that our attempts to imagine freedom should occupy the space of not only "what is" but also "what if." Beginning with notions of sacrifice and the emergence of a public sphere for politics and art, Boym expands her account to include the relationships between freedom and liberation, modernity and terror, and political dissent and creative estrangement. While depicting a world of differences, she affirms lasting solidarities based on the commitment to the passionate thinking that reflections on freedom require. To do so, Boym assembles a remarkable cast of characters: Aeschylus and Euripides, Kafka and Mandelstam, Arendt and Heidegger, and a virtual encounter between Dostoevsky and Marx on the streets of Paris. By offering a fresh look at the strange history of this idea, Another Freedom delivers a nuanced portrait of freedom, one whose repercussions will be felt well into the future.

In Oedipus, Sophocles created a character who was the essence of his age, a figure of such symbolic potency that he appears to later centuries not only as a historical but as a contemporary phenomenon. This book is a study of the play, Oedipus Tyrannos, in terms of both the age which produced it and the double existence of the hero in his time and out of it. It attempts to answer the question of what Oedipus Tyrannos meant to the Greeks, and it examines its meaning for the reader of today. The author bases his study on a careful analysis of the play's vocabulary and imagery, and seeks to make clear for the reader who does not know Greek may minute and technical point of interpretation. His book is a key to the understanding of Oedipus, the man and the play. Bernard M. W. Knox is associate professor of classics at Yale. "A superb critical and textual investigation."-New York Times.
