Tiny tear to DJ. ; As the perpetual stranger Dionysos is the embodiment of strangeness. He is nowhere at home, and yet in another sense the world is his home. Detienne evokes the manic activity of Dionysos in myths that connect him with the shedding of blood, the pouring of wine, and the ejaculation of semen. ; Revealing Antiquity 1; 8.3 X 5.5 X 0.7 inches; 90 pages
Small chip to base of spine. Else fine. ; The notion of competition has become crucial to our understanding of Greek and Roman religion and is often invoked to explain religous changes and to describe the relationship between various cults. This volume seeks to raise our awareness of what the notion implies and to test its use for the analysis of ancient religions. The papers range from Classical Greece, Hellenistic Babylon, Rome and the Etruscans, to Late Antiquity and the rise of Islam. They seek to determine how much can be gained in each individual case by understanding religious interaction in terms of rivalry and competition. In doing so, the volume hopes to open a more explicit debate on the analytical tools with which ancient religion is currently being studied. Contents: 1. Religion and Competition in Antiquity.

Creasing to spine cover and wraps. ; 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

Epic and tragedy, from Homer's Achilles and Euripides' Pentheus to Marlowe's Tamburlaine and Milton's Satan, are filled with characters challenging and warring against the gods. Nowhere is the theme of theomachy more frequently and powerfully represented, however, than in the poetry of early imperial Rome, from Ovid's Metamorphoses at the beginning of the first century AD to Statius' Thebaid near its end. This book -- the first full-length study of human-divine conflict in Roman literature -- asks why the war against god was so important to the poets of the time and how this understudied period of literary history influenced a larger tradition in Western literature. Drawing on a variety of contexts -- politics, religion, philosophy, and aesthetics -- Pramit Chaudhuri argues for the fundamental importance of battles between humans and gods in representing the Roman world. A cast of tyrants, emperors, rebels, iconoclasts, philosophers, and ambitious poets brings to life some of the most extraordinary artistic products of classical antiquity. Based on close readings of the major extant epics and selected tragedies, the book replaces a traditionally Aeneid-centric view of imperial epic with a richer dialogue between Greek and Roman texts, contemporary authors, and diverse genres. The renewed sense of a tradition reveals how the conflicts these works represent constitute a distinctive theology informed by other discourses yet peculiar to epic and tragedy. Beginning with the Greek background and ending with a look ahead to developments in the Renaissance, this book charts the history of a theme that would find its richest expression in a time when men became gods and impiety threatened the very order of the world. ; 416 pages

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
Very faint shelfwear to rear wrap. ; This book is the first attempt that has ever been made to give a comprehensive account of the religious life of ancient Athens. The city's many festivals are discussed in detail, with attention to recent anthropological theory; so too, for instance, are the cults of households and of smaller groups, the role of religious practice and argumentation in public life, the authority of priests, the activities of religious professionals such as seers and priestesses, magic, the place of theatrical representations of the gods within public attitudes to the divine. A long final section considers the sphere of activity of the various gods, and takes Athens as a uniquely detailed test case for the structuralist approach to polytheism. The work is a synchronic, thematically organized complement (though designed to be read independently) to the same author's Athenian Religion: A History (OUP, 1996). ; 576 pages
