Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of blood-vengeance in ancient Greece, exploring how different societies responded to homicide. The author meticulously compares and contrasts early Greek customs to those of other cultures, including the ancient Germans, Anglo-Saxons, and Welsh, shedding light on the complex social structures and legal systems that shaped their respective responses to violent acts. The book offers a unique perspective on the Homeric epics, examining the social dynamics of Achaeans and Pelasgians through the lens of their distinct approaches to blood-vengeance. The authorââ â¢s analysis of the Homeric texts reveals a nuanced understanding of the evolution of Greek society, from the primitive Pelasgian system of wergeld ââ â a form of blood-money ââ â to the later Athenian legal system, where the state assumed responsibility for punishing homicide. By exploring the transition from tribal to state-based justice, the book offers a compelling account of the development of Greek civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
