‎THE DESTINY OF A KING‎

‎The preeminent scholar of comparative studies of Indo-European society, Georges Dumézil theorized that ancient and prehistoric Indo-European culture and literature revolved around three major functions: sovereignty, force, and fertility. This work treats these functions as they are articulated through "first king" legends found in Indian, Iranian, and Celtic epics, particularly the Mahabharata. Dumézil, drawing on an extraordinarily broad range of Indo-European sources from Scandinavia to India and offering an original and provocative analytic method, set a new agenda for studies in comparative oral literature, historical linguistics, comparative mythology, and history of religions. The Destiny of a King examines one of the "little" epics within the Mahabharata—the legend of King Yayati, a distant ancestor of the Pandavas, the heroes of the larger epic. Dumézil compares Yayati's attributes and actions with those of the legendary Celtic king Eochaid Feidlech and also finds striking similarities in the stories surrounding the daughters of these two kings, the Indian Madhavi and the Celtic Medb. When he compares these two traditions with the "first king" legends from Iran, he finds such common themes as the apportionment of the earth and the "sin of the sovereign.

‎PERIPHERIE-DENKEN Transformation Und Adaption Des Gottes Silvanus in Den (1.-4. Jahrhundert N. Chr. )‎

‎Faint bump to base of spine. Very light shelfwear else fine. ; Silvanus war einer der populärsten Götter in den Donauprovinzen. Er prägte das religiöse Leben verschiedener sozialer Schichten der Provinzialbevölkerung vor allem in den wichtigsten Städten in diesem Teil des Imperium Romanum. Silvanus unterscheidet sich dabei allerdings radikal von seinem italischen Archetypus. Dies wurde in der Forschung mit dem Phänomen des Synkretismus zwischen dem italischen Gott und einem illyrischen, gallischen sowie dakischen Gott erklärt. In Peripherie-Denken wird für diese Differenz eine neue Erklärung angeboten. Hierbei liegt der analytische Fokus nicht auf dem 'ontologischen' "Warum" der Begründung, sondern auf dem funktionalen "Wie" der Beschreibung: Die Prozesse, die die Transformationen des italischen in den Silvanus der Donauprovinzen strukturieren, stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung. Ein anderer Schwerpunkt liegt in der Analyse des Beitrages der Religion für die soziale Integration in einer globalen Konstellation. Das Buch stellt nicht nur religiöse Prozesse in einem imperialen Kontext dar, es leistet auch einen Ansatz für eine neue methodologische Herangehensweise an das System Religion. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge (Pawb) Band 35; 340 pages‎

‎THE SACRIFICIAL RITUALS OF GREEK HERO-CULTS In the Archaic to the Early Hellenistic Period‎

‎Light bump to base of spine. Minor crease to upper part of book (book does not lay flat). Sticky note with author's dedication to ffep. ; This study questions the traditional view of sacrifices in hero-cults during the Archaic to the early Hellenistic periods. The analysis of the epigraphical and literary evidence for sacrifices to heroes in these periods shows, contrary to the traditional notion, that the main ritual in hero-cults was a thysia at which the worshippers consumed the meat from the animal victim. A particular handling of the animal’s blood or a holocaust, rituals previously taken to be typical for heroes, can rarely be documented and must be considered as marginal features in hero-cults. The terms eschara, escharon, bothros, enagizein, enagisma, enagismos and enagisterion, believed to be characteristic for hero-cults, are seldom used in hero-contexts before the Roman period and occur mainly in the Byzantine lexicographers and in the scholia. Since the main kind of sacrifice in hero-cults was a thysia, a ritual intimately connected with the social structure of society, the heroes must have fulfilled the same role as the gods within the Greek religious system. The fact that the heroes were dead seems to have been of little significance for the sacrificial rituals and it is questionable whether the rituals of hero-cults are to be considered as originating in the cult of the dead. ; Kernos Supplément 12; 429 pages‎

‎RELIGION AND COMPETITION IN ANTIQUITY‎

‎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.

‎CIVIC RITES Democracy and Religion in Ancient Athens‎

‎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

‎LATIN POETS AND ITALIAN GODS‎

‎Large closed tear to back panel of DJ (8cm). Now protected in mylar sleeve. 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.‎

‎Minor creasing to wraps. ; 2 vol. (XXI-282 p. , 112 pp of pl. + 15 p. -[1] foldout ) La présente étude comporte une analyse des vestiges architecturaux du théâtre de Délos, une nouvelle publication des passages des comptes des gestionnaires de la caisse sacrée concernant sa construction et son entretien, enfin une synthèse sur les concours qui y étaient célébrés. Elle permet de restituer l’évolution du projet et les étapes du chantier entre la fin du ive siècle et les environs de 240 avant J. -C. , de préciser les modes de mise en scène des spectacles à l’époque hellénistique. Elle conduit aussi à cerner la place du monument dans l’architecture et l’urbanisme déliens. Le théâtre de Délos, qui associe des gradins en demi-cercles outrepassés et un bâtiment de scène à proskènion et skènè avec un étage à front percé de larges baies, est tributaire des édifices réalisés à Athènes puis à Épidaure. Certains de ses dispositifs se rencontrent uniquement dans les Cyclades, à Cos et sur une courte frange de la côte occidentale de l’Asie Mineure. ; Exploration Archéologique De Délos. XLII‎
