A Cultural History of Genocide in the Ancient World
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-03467-9 (ISBN)
This volume presents a range of views on the challenges of applying the modern concept of “genocide” to an ancient context. It also considers the causes, motivations, and justifications of ancient mass violence, as well as contemporary responses to, and critiques of, such violence, along with how mass violence was represented and remembered in ancient literature and iconography. In addition, chapters analyse what drove the perpetrators of mass violence, and the processes of victimization, as well as the consequences of mass violence and ravaging warfare, including in particular mass enslavement and sexual violence.
Tristan S. Taylor is Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at the University of New England, Australia, and a University Associate of the University of Tasmania, Australia. He was Visiting Fellow at the Yale University Genocide Studies Program (2013-14) and Visiting Scholar at the University of Texas, Austin (2015), USA.
