‎FINDING PERSEPHONE Women's Rituals in the Ancient Mediterranean‎

‎Very faint shelfwear. ; Studies in Ancient Folklore and Popular Culture; 344 pages; Drawing upon the latest research in gender studies, history of religion, feminism, ritual theory, performance, anthropology, archaeology, and art history, Finding Persephone investigates the ways in which the religious lives and ritual practices of women in Greek and Roman antiquity helped shape their social and civic identity. Barred from participating in many public arenas, women asserted their presence by performing rituals at festivals and presiding over rites associated with life passages and healing. The essays in this lively and timely volume reveal the central place of women in the religious and ritual practices of the societies of the ancient Mediterranean. Readers interested in religion, women's studies, and classical antiquity will find a unique exploration of the nature and character of women's autonomy within the religious sphere and a full account of women's agency in the public domain‎

‎SIBYLS AND SIBYLLINE PROPHECY IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY‎

‎Corners are bumped. Pen lines to margins on about 9 pages. Pencil markings on 2 other pages. Small chip to one corner of DJ. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Writing in pencil to front DJ flap. ; 236 pages; In antiquity a considerable number of books of prophecies went under the general title of "Sibylline Oracles". Rulers as significant as Augustus consulted them in time of danger or crisis for advice and prognoses. Increasing numbers of "ex post facto" prophecies, laying a particular interpretation on facts of recent history, came to be attributed to one of the mysterious Sibyls. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Cumaean Sibyl, who guides the hero in the sixth book of Vergil's "Aeneid" . In fact she was somewhat unusual in her similiarity to other oracular prophetesses, such as the Pythia. For where the latter prophesied in response to particular inquirers, one of the distinguishing characteristics of Sibyls was that they composed discursive verses for distribution to the world at large. This, Professor Parke's last book, which was virtually complete on his death in 1986, is an account of a subject both rarely treated in recent decades and difficult to access for all but the most expert. In its pursuit of the sometimes elusive Sibyls it ranges from Heraclitus to Eusebius, from Archaic Asia Minor to Christian Rome. This book should be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics of classics.‎

‎ATHENIAN RELIGION A History‎

‎Minor pencilling to a few pages. Scholar's initial o inner cover (Jenifer Neils). DJ is creased and does not sit square. DJ has a couple of small open tears. ; 1 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 400 pages; Inadequately documented, ancient Greek religion can all too easily be reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains and so-called `ritual objects'. This authoritative new work attempts to bridge the gap that usually divides Greek religion from Greek history, setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary events and politics. How did people actually worship the gods? Was Socrates's trial a crisis for religion or the state, or both? These are among the key issues addressed in what promises to be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.‎

‎POLYTHEISM AND SOCIETY AT ATHENS‎

‎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

‎LES DONNEURS DE SACRÉ Le Prêtre a Rome‎

‎Light creasing to rear wraps. Minor shelfwear. ; Plus qu'un intermédiaire entre les hommes et les dieux, le prêtre romain, dépositaire des intérêts humains, défend l'existence de la Cité contre l'ennemi d'en haut, parfois plus redoutable que l'ennemi aux frontières. Mais, citoyen parmi d'autres, jouant de la superstition de ses contemporains, il oriente à son gré et au gré des dieux la vie juridique, politique de la communauté. Son pouvoir est ainsi bien souvent supérieur à toutes les puissances reconnues. Alors qui est vraiment le prêtre romain ? Homme des dieux ou fonctionnaire d'État? Messager ou magicien ? C'est à toutes ces interrogations que répond le livre de Danielle Porte. ; Collection Realia; 266 pages‎

‎RITUALS AND POWER The Roman Imperial Cult in Asia Minor‎

‎Hard Creasing to front wrap. Spine a bit sunned. Scholars' bookplate to ffep (Slater & Dunbabin). ; 320 pages; In his study of the Greek cults of the Roman emperor in Asia minor, Simon Price attempts to discover why the Roman Emperor was treated like a god. He contends that ever since the emergence of Christianity within the Roman Empire the problem has been misinterpreted; a Christianizing distinction between religion and politics has led to the cult being considered simply as a form of political honours. Drawing on anthropology as well as numismatics and archaeology, literary sources and inscriptions, Dr Price offers a fundamentally different perspective. He examines how the Greek cults of the Roman Emperor located the Emperor with their subjection to the external power of Rome. The book falls into two major parts. The first analyses the historical, social and cultural contexts of the Imperial cult, showing that the cult was deeply rooted in the Greek cities. The second focusses on the evocations of the rituals of temples, images and sacrifices. It casts light on the architechural development of Greek Cities, on cult statues in the ancient world and on the vitality and flexibility of the Greek religious system. In his concluding chapter the author draws out some of the general implications of the book; comparative material from Africa and Cambodia help our understanding of the relationship between religious ritual and political power. This book, which assumes no knowledge of Latin or Greek, will appeal to students and teachers of ancient history and archaeology. It will also attract anthropologists, historians and others interested in the interpretation of rituals and in the history of early Christianity.‎
