Very minor edgewear to top corners of DJ else Fine.; 0.79 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 207 pages; The role of women in Roman culture and society was a paradoxical one. They enjoyed social material and financial independence yet they were denied basic constitutional rights. Although Roman history is not short of powerful female figures such as Agrippina and Livia their power stemmed from their associations with great men and was not officially recognized. Ariadne Staples' book examines how women in Rome were perceived both by themselves and by men through women's participation in Roman religion as Roman religious ritual provided the single public arena where women played a significant formal role. From Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins argues that the ritual roles played out by women were vital in defining them sexually and that these sexually defined categories spilled over into other aspects of Roman culture including political activity. Staples provides an arresting and original analysis of the role of women in Roman society which challenges traditionally held views and provokes further questions. . 0415132339 . Routledge hardcover

DJ has light creasing along upper edge.; While the Olympics because of their modern revival enjoy the greatest fame today in ancient Greece other religious festivals were equally elaborate and impressive spectacles. The lavishly illustrated Goddess and Polis is the first work devoted to the Panathenaia the most significant of these festivals to be held in ancient Athens. Founded in 566 B. C. this complex ritual performed for the goddess Athena vied with other Greek festivals in grandeur and importance and was particularly distinguished by the works of art commissioned in its service. Among these were the painted vases known as Panathenaic amphoras each of which contained forty liters of olive oil awarded to athletic and equestrian victors. The contests depicted on these vases are the best extant illustrations of Greek sport. Although women were excluded from the competitions they had an important role to play in the weaving of the peplos an elaborate textile that took nine months to produce. The culmination of the festival was a long procession bearing this new robe to the cult statue of the goddess; the procession in turn was the subject of another great work of art the Parthenon frieze. Combining art spectacle and civic consciousness the Panathenaia contributed to the development of the high classical style of Periklean Athens. This book deals with every aspect of the festival and produces a vivid portrait of the worship of the patron goddess of the city. Essays by eminent classical scholars examine in depth the musical and poetic competitions the athletic and equestrian contests the peplos and the evolving image of Athena as documented in sculpture from the Acropolis. Jenifer Neils the curator of the exhibition Goddess and Polis held at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College has contributed an introduction to the Panathenaia an essay on the prize amphoras and detailed entries for the seventy objects exhibited.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 232 pages . 0691036128 .

Very light shelfwear else Fine.; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beitrage Pawb Band 34; 532 pages; English summary: The ability to translate the inner world of ideas into image displays is one of the original human characteristics. The figments of imagination translated into the communicative sphere as images represent not only external forms but also memories conveyed fears hopes or other emotions. This is especially true as it pertains to religion. But what image of God did the majority of Greeks of the ancient world hold and what were their godly images The book by Peter Eich focuses on the prevailing ideas that religious image production held in Greece as well as on the community-building function of religious images over the course of time. Contemporary testimonies are fully investigated and reinterpreted in their idiom and their contexts of meaning. German text. German description: Die Fahigkeit die innere Vorstellungswelt in Bilddarstellungen umzusetzen gehort zu den ursprunglichen menschlichen Eigenschaften. Die aus der Vorstellung in die kommunikative Sphare ubersetzten Bilder reproduzieren nicht nur aussere Formen sondern verankern auch Erinnerungen oder transportieren Angste Hoffnungen oder andere Emotionen. Dies gilt besonders auf dem Gebiet der Religion. Doch welches Gottesbild hatte die Mehrheit der Griechen der Antike und was waren Gotterbilder fur sieDas Buch von Peter Eich konzentriert sich auf die in Hellas vorherrschenden Vorstellungen die die religiose Bildproduktion bedingten und die gemeinschaftsstiftende Funktion sakraler Bilder im Wandel der Zeit. Dazu werden die Aussagen der Zeitgenossen in ihrem Idiom und in ihren Sinnzusammenhangen umfassend untersucht und mit Hilfe eines verbreiterten Methodenkanons neu gedeutet. . 3515098550 .

201233691Cambridge University Press. 2012. Hardcover. Fine in Fine dust jacket. The interpretation of animal sacrifice now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert the late J. -P. Vernant and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and in particular no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writers.
