DJ has 1 tiny tear.; Edinburgh Leventis Studies 5; 448 pages; The Greek gods are still very much present in modern consciousness. Although Apollo and Dionysos Artemis and Aphrodite Zeus and Hermes are household names it is much less clear what these divinities meant and stood for in ancient Greece. In fact they have been very much neglected in modern scholarship. This book brings together a team of international scholars with the aim of remedying this situation and generating new approaches to the nature and development of the Greek gods in the period from Homer until Late Antiquity. The book looks at individual gods but also asks to what extent cult myth and literary genre determine the nature of a divinity. How do the Greek gods function in a polytheistic pantheon and what is their connection to the heroes What is the influence of philosophy What does archaeology tell us about the gods In what way do the gods in Late Antiquity differ from those in classical Greece This book presents a synchronic and diachronic view of the gods as they functioned in Greek culture until the triumph of Christianity. . 0748637982 .

Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; Despite the rousing stories of male heroism in battles the Trojan War transcended the activities of its human participants. For Homer it was the gods who conducted and accounted for what happened. In the first part of this book the authors find in Homer s Iliad material for exploring the everyday life of the Greek gods: what their bodies were made of and how they were nourished the organization of their society and the sort of life they led both in Olympus and in the human world. The gods are divided in their human nature: at once a fantasized model of infinite joys and an edifying example of engagement in the world they have loves festivities and quarrels. In the second part the authors show how citizens carried on everyday relations with the gods and those who would become the Olympians inviting them to reside with humans organized in cities. At the heart of rituals and of social life the gods were omnipresent: in sacrifices at meals in political assemblies in war in sexuality. In brief the authors show how the gods were indispensable to the everyday social organization of Greek cities.; Mestizo Spaces; 0.71 x 8.5 x 5.56 Inches; 287 pages . 0804736138 .
