Now we are proud to introduce the perfect companion volume: "Hemingway on Hunting." Edited by Ernest Hemingway's grandson Sean, and with an introduction from his son Patrick, "Hemingway on Hunting" chronicles Hemingway's zeal for the hunting life, from Africa to the American West.Hemingway found in hunting courage and skill, qualities that he would admire and incorporate into so many other aspects of his life and work. He was able to isolate the sporting passion of hunting into writings that are now classic. Extensive selections from Green Hills of Africa, his famous account of an African safari, "The Short Happy Life of Frances Macomber, " "The Snows of Kilimanjaro, " and other important short stories, along with selections from his journalism, make this a definitive summary of a master sportsman, hunter, and writer.

The principal discoveries are a floor deposit of the EM III/MM I A period, a well stratified sequence of levels from the MM II A to MM III B/LM I A periods, floor levels of the LM II and LM III AI periods, and a floor deposit of the LM III A2/B period with storage jars and a bull's head rhyton. Also noteworthy are the discovery of mason's marks on the N facade of Building 5, and fragments of the finest example of painted plaster found at Palaikastro. S. Hemingway reports an important group of metalworking artefacts from a LM III A2/B deposit.

Gisela Richter, la première à l'avoir publié, le considérait comme un original de la période hellénistique ou une réplique fidèle, et le datait entre 250 et 150 av. J.-C. Depuis, de nombreux auteurs se sont accordés sur cette identification tout en ayant quelques divergences sur la datation. D'autres pensent qu'il s'agit d'une très bonne copie romaine d'une des sculptures les plus prisées de la période romaine impériale, connue par des centaines de copies, variantes et adaptations. Cet article présente une nouvelle évaluation fondée sur des examens scientifiques et techniques approfondis de la statue elle-même et sur une observation minutieuse d'autres sculptures du même type. Ces travaux tendent à confirmer l'hypothèse hellénistique avancée par Gisela Richter, mais révèlent également que la statue a fait l'objet d'une restauration dans l'Antiquité, sans doute au début de la période impériale. Le culte et la mythologie d'Éros, d'autres sculptures importantes de la période hellénistique et de l'Antiquité tardive, ainsi que les différentes significations de l'Éros endormi à des époques ultérieures éclairent notre compréhension de l'installation d'origine du bronze actuellement à New York et de ses enjeux dans l'Antiquité. Mots-clés. Restauration antique, Aphrodite, Éros, dieu de l'Amour, sculptures en bronze hellénistiques.

Crete. The deposit consists of a selection of discarded metalworking tools, including tuyères (blowpipes), crucibles, and moulds, all of which are indicative of different processes involved in the production of metal objects. The moulds offer rare evidence for the local manufacture of specific object types that can be identified from the fragmentary remains. In addition to moulds for various tool types, such as double axes, there are fragments of moulds for a large decorative stand similar to the ‘rod’ tripod stands found predominantly on Cyprus. This is the first evidence for production of these stands on Crete at such an early date.
