GOTTESBILD UND WAHRNEHMUNG Studien Zu Ambivalenzen Fr�her Griechischer G�tterdarstellungen Ca. 800 V. Chr. - Ca. 400 V. Chr.
Franz Steiner Verlag. Near Fine. 2011. Softcover. 3515098550 . 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. .

ISIS UND IHRE DIENERINNEN IN DER KUNST DER R�MISCHEN KAISERZEIT
E. J. Brill. Near Fine. 1991. Softcover. 9004093125 . Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum 115; 197 pages; Das Thema des Buches ist der Isiskult w�hrend der r�mischen Kaiserzeit wie er in zahleichen Darstellungen der �gyptischen G�ttin und solcher ihr angeglichener Frauen zum Ausdruck kommt. W�hrend sich dadurch zum einen diese Frauen ganz allgemein als Dienerinnen der Isis zu erkennen geben f�llt zum anderen ein besonderes Licht auf die zur Angleichung ausgew�hlten Bilder der G�ttin. Dabei handelt es sich anders als bei den meisten bekannten Isistypen um keine mythologisch erkl�rbaren Gottesbilder. Sie sind deshalb der Forschung ebenso r�tselhaft geblieben wie die entsprechend angeglichenen und oftmals auch als Priesterinnen oder Mystinnen bezeichneten Frauen. Das Buch behandelt somit zwei Problemkreise n�mlich die Stellung jener Frauen im Kult sowie die damit verbundene Frage nach Sinn und Bedeutung der f�r die Angleichung verbindlichen Isisbilder. Das vorwiegend plastische Material ist in einem Katalog mit volst�ndigem Abbildungsteil zusammengestellt. Auf dieser Basis bietet das Buch eine ikonographische und ikonologische Untersuchung des Themas. Die ausschliesslich in statuarischen Kopien �berlieferten Isisbilder werden in angemessener Weise auf Originale hin rezensiert; die vorranging sepulkralen Darstellungen der Isisdienerinnen werden sowohl in quellenkritischer als auch arch�ologischer Hinsicht interpretiert. Daneben kommen auch religionsgeschichtliche Probleme zum Tragen. Ein l�ngeres Exkurs am Ende des Buches ist der Frage nach der sozialen Stellung der Isisdienerinnen gewidmet. . E. J. Brill paperback

RELIGION AND COMPETITION IN ANTIQUITY
�ditions Latomus. Near Fine. 2014. Softcover. 2870312903 . 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. An Introduction. David Engels / Peter Van Nuffelen: Religious Rivalry in Seleucid Babylonia. Marduk of Babylon versus Anu of Uruk. Tom Boiy: p. 45 3. Oracles and Oracle-Sellers.

Evans Nancy
CIVIC RITES Democracy and Religion in Ancient Athens
University of California Press. Very Good. 2010. Softcover. 0520262034 . Bottom edge stamped "Review Copy Not for Resale" else Fine. ; This book makes a strong case for the importance of religious practices in Classical Athens showing how thoroughly ritual was integrated into the city's democratic institutions and civic life. To this end Nancy Evans takes an in depth look at the cults of Athena Demeter and Dionysus and the festivals and games associated with them. Writing for the general reader as well as the scholar she reconstructs the rhythms of Athenian life and the omnipresence of ritual sacrifice and incantation in both public and private spheres. Building on this picture of the broad institutional importance of religion she goes on to provide detail of the religious backdrop to many of the key events of the Athenian Classical age including Alcibiades' profaning of the Eleusinian Mysteries and most notoriously the trial of Socrates. ; 272 pages .

Bottom corners slightly bumped. ; The Robson Classical Lectures; 256 pages; Based on Elaine Fantham's 2004 Robson lectures Latin Poets and Italian Gods reconstructs the response of Roman poets in the late republic and Augustan age to the rural cults of central Italy. Study of Roman gods is often limited to the grand equivalents of the Olympian Greek deities such as Jupiter Mars and Juno. However real-life Italians gave a lot of their affection and loyalty to humbler gods with no Greek equivalent: local nymphs who supplied healing waters the great Tiber river and other lesser rivers the lusty garden god Priapus and more. Latin Poets and Italian Gods surveys the representation of these old country gods in poets from Plautus to Statius. Fantham offers historical and epigraphic evidence of worship offered to these colourful lesser spirits and reveals the emotional importance of local Italian deities to the sophisticated poets of the Augustan age. .
