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

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 .

200333554Brepols. 2003. Softcover. Near Fine. Very faint shelfwear else fine.; Les fêtes publiques constituent sans nul doute un thème privilégié pour l'étude des religions antiques. Jalonnant en abondance les calendriers et profondément enracinées dans la vie sociale ainsi que politique elles sont censées à un titre tout spécial promouvoir entre les hommes et les dieux des relations harmonieuses. Le sentiment d'une présence divine y est généralement très vif et en Grèce plus particulièrement on y trouve souvent réunies en un ensemble organique les principales manifestations de la dévotion religieuse : valorisation d'un temps sacré lié au rythme des saisons et de lieux saints traditionnels où l'on se rend en procession prières libations et offrandes sacrifices et banquets collectifs musiques hymnes et danses à quoi s'ajoutent encore suivant un usage qui n'a fait que s'amplifier des jeux et des concours. Cette accumulation de gestes pieux accomplis dans une ambiance euphorique et conviviale de détente contribue à faire de ces célébrations festives des temps forts de la vie des cités. Explorant ce thème d'une richesse quasi inépuisable les quatorze études ici rassemblées forment un éventail très diversifié qui va des origines créto-mycéniennes de la religion grecque aux premiers siècles de notre ère marqué par des conflits entre le culte impérial et le christianisme en passant par les fêtes ancestrales qu'évoquent les poètes Homère ainsi que Pindare et par le renouveau qu'elles connaissent à la période hellénistique. Divers espaces du monde antique sont également parcourus à commencer certes par la Grèce continentale et par Rome mais en passant aussi par la Crète et par Chypre par l'Asie Mineure où ont lieu des fêtes très particulières en l'honneur de Dionysos par les rassemblements fédéraux qu'organisent les cités étrusques et par les cérémonies festives que l'on découvre dans les provinces romaines du centre de l'Europe. Ces approches pluridisciplinaires font alterner des exposés au sujet très ciblé et des essais de synthèse tandis qu'un article conclusif vise à projeter sur la notion de fête les lumières de l'histoire des religions et amorce au passage une comparaison entre fêtes grecques et fêtes romaines. Les différentes contributions sont riches de nombreuses références aux travaux modernes.; Homo Religiosus Série II; 9.4 X 6.3 X 0.9 inches; 306 pages . 2503512224 . Brepols paperback
