SOLE (Jacques)
Les Mythes chrétiens de la Renaissance aux Lumières.
"Les historiens de l'Occident sous-estiment l'importance du sacré aux origines de la modernité [...] En réalité, la révolution scientifique naissante ne pénétra que peu à peu les consciences. Elle dut alors se substituer, dans les esprits, au règne absolu de la théologie qui correspondait à la totalité du savoir. Vision d'ensemble de l'univers [...], elle [...] fournissait un certain nombre de vérités fondamentales sous la forme de mythes puissants." Ce que montre ici l'historien Jacques SOLE (1932-2016), spécialiste des idées et des mentalités religieuses aux temps modernes, étudiant 3 thèmes essentiels: le mythe de la fin de l'histoire, celui de la "famille d'Adam" et celui d'une connaissance universelle; bibliographie. Avec la bande annonce de l'éditeur: "Religion et magie". Français

"READING" GREEK DEATH To the End of the Classical Period
DJ Spine is sunned and very discolored. Very light shelfwear to book. ; This book offers a series of in-depth studies of the beliefs, attitudes, and rituals surrounding death in ancient Greece, from the Minoan and Mycenean period to the end of the classical age. Drawing on a wide range of evidence--from literary texts, to inscriptions, to images in art--Sourvinou-Inwood sheds light on many key, still problematic, aspects of Greek life, myth, and literature. She also looks at the problem of "reading" this material within the context of our own culturally-determined beliefs. ; 512 pages

Spaeth, Barbette Stanley
THE ROMAN GODDESS CERES
Light wear to corners. Pencil marginalia to a few pages. ; Interest in goddess worship is growing in contemporary society, as women seek models for feminine spirituality and wholeness. New cults are developing around ancient goddesses from many cultures, although their modern adherents often envision and interpret the goddesses very differently than their original worshippers did. In this thematic study of the Roman goddess Ceres, Barbette Spaeth explores the rich complexity of meanings and functions that grew up around the goddess from the prehistoric period to the Late Roman Empire. In particular, she examines two major concepts, fertility and liminality, and two social categories, the plebs and women, which were inextricably linked with Ceres in the Roman mind. Spaeth then analyzes an image of the goddess in a relief of the Ara Pacis, an important state monument of the Augustan period, showing how it incorporates all these varied roles and associations of Ceres. This interpretation represents a new contribution to art history. With its use of literary, epigraphical, numismatic, artistic, and archaeological evidence, The Roman Goddess Ceres presents a more encompassing view of the goddess than was previously available. It will be important reading for all students of Classics, as well as for a general audience interested in New Age, feminist, or pagan spirituality. ; 308 pages
