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

200834675École Française D'Athènes / Diffusion De Boccard. 2008. Softcover. Very Good. Creasing to upper corner of front wrap. Laminate lifting along lower edge. Crease to spine. 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.

Light shelfwear to DJ.; This book explores an aspect of how Romans thought about themselves. Its subject is 'divine qualities': qualities like Concord Faith Hope Clemency Fortune Freedom Piety and Victory which received public cult in Rome in the Republican period. Anna Clark draws on a wide range of evidence literature drama coins architecture inscriptions and graffiti to show that these qualities were not simply given cult because they were intrinsically important to 'Romans'. They rather became 'Roman' through claims counter-claims appropriations and explorations of them by different individuals. The resources brought into existence by cult temples altars coin images statues passwords votive inscriptions were visible and accessible to a broad range of people. Divine qualities were relevant to a broader social spectrum than is usually recognized and this has important consequences for our understanding of Roman society.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 380 pages . 0199226822 .

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

19664181Cambridge University Press. 1966. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. DJ is price-clipped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing.; 23pp of photos 78 figures. "This is an account of the excavation of a Greek sanctuary in the south-west corner of the mainland of Asia Minor opposite Rhodes--once known as the Carian Chersonese. The excavations took place in 1959-1960. This is the first Greek temple of any size uncovered in that part of Asia Minor and the discovery of the site of Kastabos whose existence was known from book V of Diodorus' world history has entailed the re-siting of several ancient towns in the region. The sanctuary itself whose main buildings date from c. 300 B. C. was dedicated to the Goddess Hemithea. It adds to our knowledge of a special sort of Greek shrine which was popular in the early Hellenistic age and is a perfect instance of a religious gathering place designed for a short well attended festival. The excavations show that although it was an Ionic temple the style of the great contemporary temples in Ionia such as that at Ephesus has been modified and the design is somewhat similar in plan and proportion to that of the temple of Epidaurus. In particular the discovery of a decorative screen with little shrines round the temple area throws new light on Greek architectural complexes."; 180 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover

201215860Franz Steiner Verlag. 2012. Softcover. Very Good. Faint bump to base of spine. Very light shelfwear else fine.; Silvanus war einer der populärsten Götter in den Donauprovinzen. Er prägte das religiöse Leben verschiedener sozialer Schichten der Provinzialbevölkerung vor allem in den wichtigsten Städten in diesem Teil des Imperium Romanum. Silvanus unterscheidet sich dabei allerdings radikal von seinem italischen Archetypus. Dies wurde in der Forschung mit dem Phänomen des Synkretismus zwischen dem italischen Gott und einem illyrischen gallischen sowie dakischen Gott erklärt. In Peripherie-Denken wird für diese Differenz eine neue Erklärung angeboten. Hierbei liegt der analytische Fokus nicht auf dem 'ontologischen' "Warum" der Begründung sondern auf dem funktionalen "Wie" der Beschreibung: Die Prozesse die die Transformationen des italischen in den Silvanus der Donauprovinzen strukturieren stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Analyse des Beitrages der Religion für die soziale Integration in einer globalen Konstellation. Das Buch stellt nicht nur religiöse Prozesse in einem imperialen Kontext dar es leistet auch einen Ansatz für eine neue methodologische Herangehensweise an das System Religion.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge Pawb Band 35; 340 pages . 351509945X .
