Personal Names in Ancient Anatolia by Robert Parker (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Personal Names in Ancient Anatolia by Robert Parker Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Ancient Anatolia was a region where indigenous peoples mixed with conquerors and incomers: Persians, Greeks, Gauls, Romans, Jews. Names from all these sources intermingled, and it is by studying them that the cultural interactions and changes and resistances that occurred can be illuminated. Publisher Description Ancient Anatolia was a region where many indigenous or at least long-established peoples mingled with many conquerors or incomers: Persians, Greeks, Gauls, Romans, Jews. Its rich and complex history of cultural interaction is only spasmodically illuminated by literary sources. Inscriptions, by contrast, abound and attest well over 100,000 name-bearing inhabitants. Many of those names retain regional associations, and when analysed with tact allow lost histories andmicro-histories to be recovered.This volume exploits the huge possibilities for social and linguistic history being created by the expansion of The Lexicon of Greek Personal Namesinto Anatolia. One topic is that of continuities and discontinuities between the naming practices of the Hittites and Luvians in the second millennium BC and those of the Greco-Roman period. Several studies trace changing patterns of naming in particular regions; this may reflect real changes in population, but the need for sociological sensitivity is stressed, as the change may lie rather in changing self-perceptions or preferred self-identifications.The Anatoliantreasure house of names can also be used to illuminate the psychology of naming, the rise of nursery nicknames to the status of proper names (and their subsequent fall from favour), for instance, or thefascination with exotic luxury items expressed in names such as Amethyst or Emerald, or the fashion for second names among the Greek-speaking elite. The volume shows how, as has been said, the study of names is a paradigm case of the convergence of disciplines, where the history of language meets social history.
