The Oxford Handbook of Hellenic Studies&#160;de George Boys-Stones (Sous la direction de), Barbara Graziosi (Sous la direction de), Phiroze Vasunia  (Sous la direction de)&#160;The Oxford Handbook of Hellenic Studies is a unique collection of some seventy articles which together explore the ways in which ancient Greece has been, is, and might be studied. It is intended to inform its readers, but also, importantly, to inspire them, and to enable them to pursue their own research by introducing the primary resources and exploring the latest agenda for their study. The emphasis is on the breadth and potential of Hellenic Studies as a flourishing and exciting intellectual arena, and also upon its relevance to the way we think about ourselves today. The book provides comprehensive guidance in areas such as epigraphy, numismatics, and manuscript studies.(Text by the editors)&#160;Contents&#160;Front MatterThe Oxford Handbook of Hellenic StudiesAcknowledgementsPrefaceList of ContributorsAbbreviations&#160;Part I - Hellenes and HellenismsIntroductionHellenism and Modernity - James I.
