TL;DR: In this article, the author examines the seven extant plays of Aeschylus against the political and military background of his time and adopts a "historicist" approach to tragedy.
Abstract: The author examines the seven extant plays of Aeschylus against the political and military background of his time. As one who himself fought at the battle of Salamis, Aeschylus was profoundly concerned with military events (the messenger speech in Persians) and potitical changes (Eumenides). In this volume, Podlecki adopted a 'historicist' approach to tragedy, adding a new dimension to the understanding of Aeschylus' poetry.

TL;DR: The question of whether Daniel separates the Medes and Persians or whether he considers them only as one nation is a subject which needs a chapter to itself as mentioned in this paper, and whether there was a genuine Median kingdom between those of Babylon and Persia.
Abstract: The Medo-Persian problem is a subject which needs a chapter to itself. The problem is a) the question of whether Daniel separates the Medes and Persians or whether he considers them only as one nation, and b) the question of whether there was a genuine Median kingdom between those of Babylon and Persia. The latter question has been dealt with already; so in this chapter I shall concentrate mainly on the former.

TL;DR: The Shorter Lexicon as mentioned in this paper provides easy access to reliable and brief definitions, interpretations of most variants, and many of the conjugational and declensional forms that frustrate readers of the New Testament.
Abstract: This one-volume digest provides easy access to reliable and brief definitions, interpretations of most variants, and many of the conjugational and declensional forms that frustrate readers of the New Testament. Danker's revision demonstrates his concern for the needs of students as well as those of ministers and scholars. \"[The Shorter Lexicon] is by far superior to other New Testament 'dictionaries' of comparable size.\"--Robert Hoerber, Classical World
