Skrifter Utgivna Av Svenska Institutet I Athen / Acta Instituti Atheniensis Regni Sueciae Series in 8� XIX; 421 pages; The focus of this book is the reconstruction of the mythicoritual nexus in Kios in Mysia through the in-depth investigation of the evidence surviving in accounts by and so shaped by the filters of outsiders and also of other issues implicated in its Problematik: ethnicity cultural and religious interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks colonial discourses with special emphasis on the foundation mythopea of Kios� mother city Miletos the nature and functions of the Nymphs the different personalities of Dionysos advent festivals certain problematic categories of cult recipients. Hylas� myth and ritual had been constructed through complex interactions between several mythicoritual schemata and included also elements that appear in non-Greek nexuses located in the area of Kios. The myth was both a foundation myth constructing cultural continuity with the heroic age and an immortalization myth: a Greek youth was abducted by Nymphs and became a diety rooted to the landscape and symbolically rooting the colony to the land; it established a poliouchos figure unique to Kios connected Herakles with the city�s foundation and articulated a relationship of cooperation and integration between Greeks and Non-Greeks. A ritual celebrated Hylas� advent and commemorated the events that had led to Kios� foundation articulating a cooperative relationship between Greeks and locals. . Paul Astr�ms F�rlag paperback

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. .

Very light shelfwear else Fine. ; BAR International Series 1220; 153 pages; The Greek and Roman year were divided into festivals and games even more than our year is today.

Subjects include: Minoan bull sports; the evidence of dance imagery; Pindar; chariot racing and politics in 5th-century Athens and Sophocles' Electra; competitive Greek games; Dionysiac festivals in Aristophanes' Acharnians; cock fighting and dicing in classical Athens; the festival of Artemis Leukophyrene; Roman games and Greek origins in Dionysius of Halicarnassus; epic and real games in Statius and Virgil; Roman naumachiae or naval battles in artifical basins; Dionysiac scenes on Oinophoroi vessels from Sagalassos; Christianising the celebrations of death in Late Antiquity; the portraits of champions in Palazzo Te. .

During his short reign this remarkable ruler carried through some unprecedented reforms in Roman state religion. He put Elagabal the sun god of the Syrian town of Emesa at the head of the Roman pantheon and presented himself as the god's high priest on coins and in inscriptions. In March 222 AD Elagabalus was killed by praetorians His memory was condemned by the senate his images destroyed.Images of Elagabalus attempts to reconstruct and explain the events of the period in partuclar the elevation of Elagabal to supreme Roman deity. Consequently it looks at the different images of the priest-emperor which have been generated throughout the ages; first by the imperial administration itself then by ancient and Byzantine authors and finally by scholars literary authors and artists from the Renaissance up to the present. .

Light bumping to extremities else Fine. ; Alba Longa et sa l�gende demeurent pour la science une �nigme : alors qu�elle explore les origines de Rome avec une intensit� sans pr�c�dent elle ne sait que penser de cette ville introuvable de ce lac d�bordant de ces for�ts ombreuses de ces rois fant�mes. Quel r�le jou�rent les monts Albains dans la culture latiale A-t-on eu raison depuis plus de cinq si�cles de chercher inlassablement Albe cette cit� d�o� seraient venus les jumeaux fondateurs de Rome Quelles furent les relations entre ce territoire albain et Rome entre la Ligue latine et la Ville G�ographie historique et culturelle sciences de la terre arch�ologie histoire des religions philologie : le recours � un tr�s large �ventail de disciplines aboutit ici � une synth�se d�o� le souci de la r�flexivit� �pist�mologique n�est jamais absent. Pour comprendre le l�gendaire albain il fallait le replacer dans son cadre. Les anciennes fouilles du XIXe si�cle sont donc restitu�es dans leur contexte. Au-del� de ce qui a �t� conserv� �merge un continent perdu de la connaissance : des paysages disparus des sites oubli�s des textes n�glig�s des rites m�connus et avec eux toute la richesse d�une v�ritable civilisation : en retour on comprendra mieux l�apport des plus r�centes d�couvertes dans ce Latium pr�romain dont le massif Albain constituait pr�cis�ment le centre. C�est l� sur le mons Albanus moderne Monte Cavo que les Anciens pla�aient Alba Longa et ses rois ; c�est l� aussi qu� avait lieu une grandiose c�r�monie religieuse les F�ries Latines d�laiss�es pourtant par la recherche moderne qui n�a su o� situer les myst�rieux sacra Albana. Des inventaires pr�cis des dossiers rassemblant les textes antiques concern�s donn�s � chaque fois avec leur traduction permettent de redonner � ces th�mes toute leur importance et font de ce livre un exceptionnel outil de travail : la premi�re synth�se fran�aise sur cet ancien Latium nagu�re dit primitif objet depuis trois d�cennies d�un grand mouvement international de recherche. M�moire ou histoire � cette interrogation aujourd�hui omnipr�sente ce livre apporte une r�ponse qui constitue une contribution novatrice au d�bat actuel sur les origines de Rome. ; 2 Volume Set COMPLETE.

Varhelyi Zsuzsanna
THE RELIGION OF SENATORS IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Power and the Beyond
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0521897246 . Very light shelfwear to DJ else Fine. ; 270 pages; This book examines the connection between political and religious power in the pagan Roman Empire through a study of senatorial religion. Presenting a new collection of historical epigraphic prosopographic and material evidence it argues that as Augustus turned to religion to legitimize his powers senators in turn also came to negotiate their own power as well as that of the emperor partly in religious terms. In Rome the body of the senate and priesthoods helped to maintain the religious power of the senate; across the Empire senators defined their magisterial powers by following the model of emperors and by relying on the piety of sacrifice and benefactions. The ongoing participation and innovations of senators confirm the deep ability of imperial religion to engage the normative symbolic and imaginative aspects of religious life among senators. .
