The traveller and archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows (1799-1860) made several trips through Asia Minor. His careful observations of ancient cities that were at that time unknown to Europeans captured the attention of readers of his published journals and fuelled the British Museum's desire to acquire antiquities from the region. This brief work, first published in 1843, seeks to explain and justify how Fellows shipped dozens of cases of sculptures and architectural remains to Malta from Xanthos, an important city in ancient Lycia. It includes correspondence relating to the practicalities of carrying out the expedition and securing permission to do so from the Ottoman authorities. Fellows was later knighted for his role in these acquisitions, though controversy surrounds their removal. His well-illustrated accounts of his two previous trips to Asia Minor are also reissued in this series.

Cet ouvrage constitue la première étude des édifices d'époque romaine du site de Xanthos anciennement connus ou récemment découverts. Il offre une description des principaux édifices de la cité et prend en compte de nombreux blocs sans attribution, remployés dans les constructions d'époque tardive mais qui permettent l'analyse technique et stylistique. Les chapitres de synthèse décrivent l'évolution des formes architecturales et celle des décors en montrant jusqu'à quel point l'analyse stylistique constitue un outil de datation fiable. L'analyse de l'architecture xanthienne permet de discerner deux phases principales d'aménagement, correspondant globalement à l'époque flavienne et à la fin du iie s. p.C. Le cas de Xanthos est comparé à celui des autres villes de Lycie ainsi qu'aux grandes cités de l'Asie Mineure romaine. La confrontation montre la généralisation des tendances nouvelles de l'époque mais aussi la permanence de traits locaux. L'exemple de Xanthos est donc bien représentatif de l'architecture romaine en Asie Mineure

"When John J. Winkler died in 1990, he left a substantially complete manuscript containing the final version of the project he had undertaken in the last decade of his life: an original interpretation of the development and meaning of ancient Greek drama. That manuscript was based on The Martin Classical Lectures at Oberlin College, which Winkler delivered in September of 1988. The present text has been edited and updated by classicists David Halperin, Winkler's literary executor, and Kirk Ormand, Winkler's student and an expert on Greek drama. Rehearsals of Manhood, the final work of a widely recognized and celebrated classical scholar, proposes an entirely new account of Greek drama providing an explanation of the social place of Greek drama and its relation to the gendered organization of Athenian social life. Winkler interprets drama as a secular manhood ritual, a public aesthetic undertaking focused on the initiation of boys into manhood and, specifically, on the training, the display, and the representation of young male warriors. According to Winkler, the chorus of both tragedy and comedy was composed of young Athenian men of citizen status, about eighteen to twenty years of age, who were undergoing military training in order to prepare themselves for the task of warfare; they danced on a rectangular dance floor in a rectangular formation that recalled the arrangement of the infantry phalanx; they accompanied plays that often highlighted scenarios of risk faced by young men on the verge of adulthood; and they performed in a theater whose seating was arranged to display the corporate body of the male citizenry as a whole, both its democratic equality and its hierarchical ranking according to degrees of excellence. Winkler does not offer new interpretations of the texts of Greek plays but a new account of how the very practice of dramatic performance fit into the social life and gender politics of the Athenian state"--
