201317397Franz Steiner Verlag. 2013. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. In ancient Greece religion and politics were inextricably linked. This symbiosis manifests itself particularly clearly in Greek sanctuaries as locations of both cult practices and political activities. A colloquium held at Munster aimed at analysing the formative function of trans-regional sanctuaries in mainland Greece and on the Greek islands in the genesis and legitimisation of political order in Greek tribal alliances and federal states from the Archaic down to the Hellenistic period. Religion und Politik waren im antiken Griechenland auf das Engste miteinander verwoben. Besonders deutlich manifestiert sich diese Symbiose in griechischen Heiligtumern als Orten kultischer Handlungen und zugleich politischen Agierens.

201212012Franz Steiner Verlag. 2012. Softcover. Fine. English summary: The differentiation between Etruscan and Roman sacrificial rituals is one of the fundamental problems in religious historical writing. Christiane Nasse shows that this assumption is based on a misinterpretation of key sources and features prevalent in a century of historical research. The critique leads to deconstruction: either the hypothesis of a dichotomy of extispicy appears plausible or it is sufficiently defined as a "sacred linguistics" on which the research is essentially based. Following up on this question the author investigates the critical sources for ritual slaughter according to historical referentiality on the one hand and textual dissociation on the other. She brings together late-antique commentators on Vergil such as Servius and Macrobius as well as laws from the Codex Theodosianus. Through individual analysis she throws a new light on the poetic representation of classical authors such as Vergil Ovid Lucan Seneca and Silius Italicus which renders essential the use of historical-critical methods on the one side and the basics of narratology on the other. German description: Die Unterscheidung von etruskischem und romischem Opferritual gehort zu den Grunduberzeugungen der Religionsgeschichtsschreibung. Christiane Nasse zeigt dass diese Annahme auf einer Fehlinterpretation der zentralen Quellen und Besonderheiten einer hundertjahrigen Forschungsgeschichte beruht. Die Kritik fuhrt zu Dekonstruktionen: Weder erscheint die Hypothese von einer Dichotomie der Eingeweideschau plausibel noch ist eine Sakralsprachlichkeit' auf die sich die Forschung wesentlich stutzt hinreichend definiert. Mit der Frage nach dem Historisch-Referentiellen auf der einen und nach literarischen Verfremdungen auf der anderen Seite untersucht die Autorin zentrale Quellen zu diesem Schlachtritus. Sie zieht spatantike Texte von Vergil-Erklarern wie Servius und Macrobius heran sowie Gesetze aus dem Codex Theodosianus. In Einzelanalysen wirft sie ein neues Licht auf die poetischen Darstellungen klassischer Autoren wie Vergil Ovid Lucan Seneca und Silius Italicus. Grundlage hierfur bilden die historisch-kritische Methode einerseits und Ansatze aus der Erzahltheorie andererseits.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge 38; 408 pages . 3515101330 .

200937234University of Texas Press. 2009. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Very faint shelfwear. DJ spine sunned.; In Vergil's Aeneid the poet implies that those who have been initiated into mystery cults enjoy a blessed situation both in life and after death. This collection of essays brings new insight to the study of mystic cults in the ancient world particularly those that flourished in Magna Graecia essentially the area of present-day Southern Italy and Sicily. Implementing a variety of methodologies the contributors to Mystic Cults in Magna Graecia examine an array of features associated with such "mystery religions" that were concerned with individual salvation through initiation and hidden knowledge rather than civic cults directed toward Olympian deities usually associated with Greek religion. Contributors present contemporary theories of ancient religion field reports from recent archaeological work and other frameworks for exploring mystic cults in general and individual deities specifically with observations about cultural interactions throughout. Topics include Dionysos and Orpheus the Goddess Cults Isis in Italy and Roman Mithras explored by an international array of scholars including Giulia Sfameni Gasparro "Aspects of the Cult of Demeter in Magna Graecia" and Alberto Bernabé "Imago Inferorum Orphica". The resulting volume illuminates this often misunderstood range of religious phenomena.; 9.0 X 5.9 X 1.0 inches; 390 pages . 0292719027 . University of Texas Press hardcover

DJ has very minor shelfwear.; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter Mars and Juno. However real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers the lusty garden god Priapus and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age.; Signed by Author . 1442640596 .

Very faint shelfwear to book else fine.; This book deals specifically with sixteenth-century depictions of the Olympian deities the twelve supreme deities of ancient Greece and Rome. As the Renaissance revived several aspects of antiquity some great works of art represented the Olympians in imitation of the classical style. These deities were rendered as autonomous figures in the form of representation adapted for depicting saints and Christian rulers. This form of depicting the Olympians or the pagan gods was not unanimously accepted by sixteenth-century viewers. The book highlights the problematic framework surrounding the creation display and acceptance of such thought-provoking works of art.; 9.7 X 7.2 X 1.0 inches; 318 pages . 0521815762 .

200738960Princeton University Press. 2007. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Some light shelfwear to DJ.; In this sumptuously illustrated book Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources inscriptions sculpture and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A. D. she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed the political power they wielded their systems of patronage and compensation and how they were honored including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary for student use.; 10.1 X 7.4 X 1.3 inches; 415 pages . 0691127468 . Princeton University Press hardcover
