Rosen, Ralph M. & Ineke Sluiter. (eds). - Andreia. Studies in manliness and courage in classical antiquity.

Leiden, Brill, 2003. 359 pp. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. (Mnemosyne. Supplementum, Vol. 238). [ISBN: 978-90-04-11995-6].This volume examines the use of a central concept in the self-definition of any Greek speaking male: Andreia, the notion of courage and manliness. The nature and use of value terms quickly leads the researcher to core issues of cultural identity: through a combination of lexical or semantic and conceptual studies the discourse of manliness and its role in the construction of social order is studied, in a variety of authors, genres, and communicative situations. This book is of interest to students of the classical world, the history of values, gender studies, and cultural historians. - - Publisher's retail price: € 147,15
