Minor shelfwear.; L’histoire de Délos à l’époque classique est indissociable de celle d’Athènes : depuis la fondation de la Ligue de Délos en 478 les Athéniens sont les administrateurs du sanctuaire d’Apollon délien et si la cité de Délos se maintient au cours des Ve et IVe siècles ce n’est que dans l’orbite d’Athènes qu’elle peut exister. L’histoire de Délos classique se laisse essentiellement appréhender par les inscriptions et plus particulièrement les actes administratifs athéniens du sanctuaire d’Apollon délien. Convergeant avec les sources littéraires et archéologiques ces textes épigraphiques permettent de définir précisément le statut de l’île de Délos mais également de mettre en évidence la progressive élaboration par l’autorité athénienne d’un système administratif financier et économique qui parallèlement à la construction idéologique et religieuse élaborée par Athènes dans le cadre de sa politique impérialiste rend compte des innovations introduites en Égée au cours de la période classique.; Bibliothèque Des Écoles Française D'Athènes Et De Rome.

Else minor shelfwear.; Skrifter Utgivna Av Svenska Institutet I Athen / Acta Instituti Atheniensis Regni Sueciae Series in 4° XXXVIII; 303 pages; The purpose of the Fifth International Symposium at the Swedish Institute at Athens the papers and discussions of which are contained in this volume was to initiate a discussion of the various phenomena characteristic of Greek cult practice of the pre-Hellenistic periods ranging from sacrifice and libations to the handling of cult images and the placing of votive gifts in a sanctuary. It was planned as a cross-discipline symposium so as to allow the problems to be addressed by scholars from diverging points of view by diverse methods and on the basis of the available evidence be it archaeological architectural iconographical literary or epigraphical. We also invited an anthropologist Professor W. Arens of the State University of New York at Stony Brook in order to put Greek cult practice in the more general perspective of cultural anthropology. These efforts notwithstanding it proved impossible to even touch upon all relevant aspects of the topic within the limited time of three days of sessions and a one day field-trip. The result was a concentration of papers and discussions on a few central phenomena such as animal sacrifice votive offerings and ritual meals and a number of single contributions dealing with a wide range of other aspects. It is our hope that the proceedings will inspire further research in this fascinating field. Robin Hägg . 9185086975 . Paul Aströms Förlag paperback

From the publisher:<br /> <br /> The Two Antichrists is a monograph on the figure of Antichrist in a post-Christian and progressive Thelemic context.<br /> <p>Opening with considerations on the future of witchcraft and its relation to radical ecology Grey returns to the Babalon Working of Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard and considers a series of little examined texts from science fiction and the outer fringes of Scientology which form a ‘Babalon Apocrypha.’ By reading across these sources the familiar story is revealed to have hidden depths and dimensions. Exploring the role of Antichrist in relation to Parsons and Hubbard Grey provides insights into the initiatory drama of Thelema: of Satanic rites Abyss and Angel. The Two Antichrists observes the long shadow cast by the monolith of Scientology and Parsons’ eclipsed sodality The Witchcraft. Looking to the future he envisions an emergent space witchcraft infused with the spirit of Do What Thou Wilt.</p> <br /> <p>The book concludes with a series of non-denominational rituals and revised Antichrist workings. The work is a fusion of inspiration research and ritual from which Grey draws the first lines of his vision of witchcraft in the dusk of our world.</p> . Scarlet Imprint unknown
