MÉAUTIS, G., Thucydide et l'impérialisme Athénien suivi d'un choix d'études. Avec un hors-texte. A la Baconnière, Neuchatel / Albin Michel, Paris, 1964. 141p. Sewn. Partly unopened. 'The title essay was the inaugural address Méautis delivered as Rector of the University of Neuchâtel in November, 1939. It is an interesting essay, in view of its date (...). The analysis of the behaviour of tyrants of all times is acute and telling. The second historical essay, on Pericles' opponents, is a little out of date now (it was written in 1926), but it raises some interesting reflections on the Greeks ambivalent attitude to apragmosune, and makes the 'Philoctetes' of Euripides rather dubiously into a 'pacifist manifest'. (...) the one philosophical paper, on Orphism in Aristotle's (now fragmentary) dialogue, 'Eudemus', raises the whole problem of the importance or otherwise of Orphic thought in Plato and later Greek philosophy, and indeed the larger problem of the real nature of their apparently so rational thinking. (...) Of the three literary essays, two are on plays of Euripides, the 'Alcestis' and the 'Bacchae'. (S.J. TESTER in the Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1966, p.188). € 19.50 (Antiquarian)
