Since its brutal foundation myth, the story of Prometheus who steals fire from Zeus, gives it to humankind, thus turning them into something different from animals, and is perpetually ravaged by an eagle as punishment, technical knowledge has been about crossing boundaries of right and wrong, human, superhuman and subhuman, as well as temporal dimensions. Prometheus eponymously knows what lies ahead; technology is about artfully producing something that did not exist before and thus, in a sense, changing the future. Each one of these three beautifully produced collective volumes is focused on an aspect of ancient Greek and Roman technical knowledge.
Serafina Cuomo
A theatre company choosing to present a Greek play in the twenty-first century faces many choices, and decisions made must inevitably involve compromises of one kind or another. In different ways, the books under discussion stake out how specific choices have been made, and offer models from which a contemporary production can learn.
C.W. Marshall
Recent Hellenistic scholarship has moved decisively away from models emphasising Greek cultural supremacy or positing rigid East–West dichotomies. The three volumes under review exemplify this methodological shift while addressing three distinct historiographical problems values. Despite their varied approaches, all three emphasise cultural negotiation, institutional complexity and the inadequacy of binary frameworks for understanding the Hellenistic world.
