‎HUMAN SACRIFICE IN ANCIENT GREECE‎

‎Faint foxing to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; Numerous ancient texts describe human sacrifices and other forms of ritual killing: in 480 BC Themistocles sacrifices three Persian captives to Dionysus; human scapegoats called pharmakoi are expelled yearly from Greek cities, and according to some authors they are killed; Locrin girls are hunted down and slain by the Trojans; on Mt Lykaion children are sacrificed and consumed by the worshippers; and many other texts report human sacrifices performed regularly in the cult of the gods or during emergencies such as war and plague. Archaeologists have frequently proposed human sacrifice as an explanation for their discoveries: from Minoan Crete children's bones with knife-cut marks, the skeleton of a youth lying on a platform with a bronze blade resting on his chest, skeletons, sometimes bound, in the dromoi of Mycenaean and Cypriot chamber tombs; and dual man-woman burials, where it is suggested that the woman was slain or took her own life at the man's funeral. If the archaeologists' interpretations and the claims in the ancient sources are accepted, they present a bloody and violent picture of the religious life of the ancient Greeks, from the Bronze Age well into historical times. But the author expresses caution. In many cases alternative, if less sensational, explanations of the archaeological are possible; and it can often be shown that human sacrifices in the literary texts are mythical or that late authors confused mythical details with actual practices. Whether the evidence is accepted or not, this study offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious thought of the ancient Greeks and into changing modern conceptions of their religious behaviour.; 8.8 X 5.7 X 1.3 inches; 316 pages‎

‎EARLY GREEK CULT PRACTICE Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium At the Swedish Institute At Athens, 26-29, June, 1986‎

‎Minor creasing to spine. Light shelfwear. ; Skrifter Utgivna Av Svenska Institutet I Athen / Acta Instituti Atheniensis Regni Sueciae, Series in 4°, XXXVIII; 303 pages; The purpose of the Fifth International Symposium at the Swedish Institute at Athens, the papers and discussions of which are contained in this volume, was to initiate a discussion of the various phenomena characteristic of Greek cult practice of the pre-Hellenistic periods, ranging from sacrifice and libations to the handling of cult images and the placing of votive gifts in a sanctuary. It was planned as a cross-discipline symposium so as to allow the problems to be addressed by scholars from diverging points of view, by diverse methods and on the basis of the available evidence, be it archaeological, architectural, iconographical, literary or epigraphical. We also invited an anthropologist, Professor W. Arens, of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, in order to put Greek cult practice in the more general perspective of cultural anthropology. These efforts notwithstanding, it proved impossible to even touch upon all relevant aspects of the topic within the limited time of three days of sessions (and a one day field-trip). The result was a concentration of papers and discussions on a few central phenomena, such as animal sacrifice, votive offerings and ritual meals, and a number of single contributions dealing with a wide range of other aspects. It is our hope that the proceedings will inspire further research in this fascinating field. Robin Hägg‎

‎IMAGES OF ELAGABALUS‎

‎Faint creasing to wraps at corners. ; Isbn: 9090236791 Text in English; summary in Dutch. ; Proefschrift (Diss. ) ; 339 pages; Elagabalus (218-222 AB) is one of the most peculiar emperors to have occupied the Roman throne. 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.‎
