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

Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 304 pages; This book traces the development of the Theseus myth and its importance for Athens.

20061756Brill Academic Publishers. 2006. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Unwrapped in plastic.; Culture and History of the Ancient Near East; 11.25 x 1 x 8.5 Inches; 438 pages; This volume explores the Iron Age Phrygian rock-cut monuments in Anatolia and defines their role in religion. Among other features this book questions the traditional view of the Mother goddess Kybele being the only Phrygian deity. A detailed analysis based on the monuments provides new interpretations and aspects of Phrygian religion: the Mother goddess was not alone but rather accompanied by a Superior male god. For the first time all known Phrygian rock-cut monuments are brought together in the useful corpus with plenty of illustrations. It is a unique and significant contribution to the study of Phrygian religion and spatial conceptualization and is useful both for those interested in Anatolian culture and archaeology but also in fields such as classical religion and archaeology. . 9004152423 .

Minor rubbing to boards.; This book is about Roman religion in the age of Caesar beginning with the ancestral cults of the Gens Julia at Bovillae and ending with the new cult of Divus Julius all over the Roman Empire. It deals with the old gods politico-religious ideas and ruler cult. Caesar is at the centre as religious reformer rather than modern rationalist. This aspect of him though remote and unfamiliar rounds out the portrait of Caesar as the founder of the Empire of which one may get an occasional glimpse in the later writings of Mommsen but which has since been too seldom presented.; 490 pages . 0198142870 .
