Platt Verity
FACING THE GODS Epiphany and Representation in Graeco-Roman Art Literature and Religion
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2011. Hardcover. 0521861713 . This is the first history of epiphany as both a phenomenon and as a cultural discourse within the Graeco-Roman world exploring divine manifestations and their representations in visual terms as well as in literary historical and epigraphic accounts. Verity Platt sets the cultural analysis of epiphany within a historical framework that explores its development from the archaic period into the Roman empire. In particular a surprisingly large number of the images that have survived from antiquity are not only religious but epiphanically charged. Verity Platt argues that the enduring potential for divine incursions into mortal experience provides a structure of cognitive reliability that supports both ancient religion and mythology. At the same time Graeco-Roman culture exhibits a sophisticated awareness of the difficulties of the apprehension of deity the representation of divine presence and the potential for the manmade sign to lead the worshipper back to an unmediated epiphanic encounter. ; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 502 pages .

THE DAILY LIFE OF THE GREEK GODS
Stanford University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0804736138 . 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 .

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.

Cameron Alan
THE LAST PAGANS OF ROME
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 019974727X . Book is fine. DJ has a bit of shelfwear and light creasing. ; Rufinus' vivid account of the battle between the Eastern Emperor Theodosius and the Western usurper Eugenius by the River Frigidus in 394 represents it as the final confrontation between paganism and Christianity. It is indeed widely believed that a largely pagan aristocracy remained a powerful and active force well into the fifth century sponsoring pagan literary circles patronage of the classics and propaganda for the old cults in art and literature. The main focus of much modern scholarship on the end of paganism in the West has been on its supposed stubborn resistance to Christianity. The dismantling of this romantic myth is one of the main goals of Alan Cameron's book. Actually the book argues Western paganism petered out much earlier and more rapidly than hitherto assumed. The subject of this book is not the conversion of the last pagans but rather the duration nature and consequences of their survival. By re-examining the abundant textual evidence both Christian Ambrose Augustine Jerome Paulinus Prudentius and "pagan" Claudian Macrobius and Ammianus Marcellinus as well as the visual evidence ivory diptychs illuminated manuscripts silverware Cameron shows that most of the activities and artifacts previously identified as hallmarks of a pagan revival were in fact just as important to the life of cultivated Christians. Far from being a subversive activity designed to rally pagans the acceptance of classical literature learning and art by most elite Christians may actually have helped the last reluctant pagans to finally abandon the old cults and adopt Christianity. The culmination of decades of research The Last Pagans of Rome overturns many long-held assumptions about pagan and Christian culture in the late antique West. ; 896 pages .

The Johns Hopkins University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0801845947 . Book is fine. DJ has minor edgewear. ; In private and in public life the ancient Greeks danced to express divine adoration and human festivity. They danced at feasts and choral competitions at weddings and funerals in observance of the cycles of both nature and human existence. Formal and informal dances marked the rhythms of life and death. In Dance and Ritual Play in Greek Religion Steven Lonsdale looks at how the Greeks themselves regarded the act of dance and how dance and related forms of ritual play in Greek religious festivals served a wide variety of functions in Greek society. The act of worship he explains often implied engaging in collective rites regulated by playful behavior the most common forms of which were group hymns and choral dances. ; Ancient Society and History; 384 pages .

DIVINATION PREDICTION AND THE END OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2013. Hardcover. 1107026849 . This book offers a comprehensive assessment of the intersection between Roman politics culture and divination in the late Republic. It discusses how the practice of divination changed at a time of great political and social change and explores the evidence for a critical reflection and debate on the limits of divination and prediction in the second and first centuries BC. Divination was a central feature in the workings of the Roman government and this book explores the ways in which it changed under the pressure of factors of socio-political complexity and disruption. It discusses the ways in which the problem of the prediction of the future is constructed in the literature of the period. Finally it explores the impact that the emergence of the Augustan regime had on the place of divination in Rome and the role that divinatory themes had in shaping the ideology of the new regime. ; 370 pages .

The Classical Press of Wales. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2013. Hardcover. 1905125569 . 1 upper corner lightly bumped. Minor rubbing to corners of DJ. ; In the Ancient World death came - on average - at a far earlier age than in today's West and without the authoritative warnings given by modern medicine. Consolation for the trauma of loss had accordingly a more prominent role to play. This volume presents eight original studies on consolatory writings from ancient Greek Roman early Christian and Arabic societies. The authors include internationally recognised authorities in the field. They offer insight into the ancient experience of loss and the methods used to palliate it. They explore how far there was a consolatory 'genre' involving letters funerary oratory epicedia and philosophical prose. Focusing on responses to grief in numerous ancient authors this volume finds elements of continuity and of individual variety in modes of consolation and reveals instructive tensions between the commonplace and the personal. ; 232 pages .
