ABOUT:

1st Russian translation of "Ancient Greek Life" book by John Pentland Mahaffy. Published in 1879.

Sir John Pentland Mahaffy (born John Pentland Mahaffy; February 26, 1839, near Vevey, Switzerland - April 30, 1919, Dublin) was an Anglo-Irish scholar, antiquity scholar, Hellenist, classical philologist and historian. Protestant priest, Egyptologist and musicologist. Oscar Wilde's mentor. At first, turning to Kant (to whom he would return later), then he moved on to ancient Greek history (his first work in 1874), its social aspects, in which he became one of the pioneers. His greatest attention was drawn to the era of Hellenism, in which he saw many parallels with modernity. He was influenced by the German historical school. // Contents: Common features of Greek life. People and property. Greek in home life. Public life of Greek citizens. Religion and laws of the ancient Greeks.
