Professor has Two Book Releases

Sat, Feb 26, 2011

Colgate classics professor Robert Garland has two new book releases through Bristol Classical Press: Hannibal and The Eye of the Beholder: Deformity and Disability in the Graeco-Roman World, Second Edition.

In Hannibal, Garland spotlights the Carthaginian general whose military and political career made him one of history's greatest survivors, Rome's most formidable adversary, and the man who came closest to destroying the power base in Italy.

The second edition of The Eye of the Beholder is in paperback, with a new preface and updated bibliography. This first-ever book-length investigation into the plight of the disabled and deformed in Graeco-Roman society draws on literary texts, medical tracts, vase paintings, sculpture, mythology, and ethnography.
