Meyer, Marvin W.
THE ANCIENT MYSTERIES A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts
Zeus and the other gods of shining Olympus were in reality divine only by popular consent. Over the course of time Olympian luster diminished in favor of religious experiences more immediate to the concerns of people living in an increasingly cosmopolitan ancient world. These experiences were provided by the mysteries, religions that flourished particularly during the Hellenistic period and were secretly practiced by groups of adherents who decided, through personal choice, to be initiated into the profound realities of one deity or another. Unlike the official state religions, in which people were expected to make an outward show of allegiance to the local gods, the mysteries emphasized an inwardness and privacy of worship within a closed band of initiates. In this book, Marvin W. Meyer explores the sacrifices and prayers, the public celebrations and secret ceremonies, the theatrical performances and literary works, the gods and goddesses that were a part of the mystery religions of Greece in the seventh century B. C. To the Judaism and Christianity of the Roman world of the seventh century A. D.; 9.0 X 6.1 X 0.7 inches; 280 pages

Mikalson, Jon D.
ATHENIAN POPULAR RELIGION
Former owner's name deleted to ffep in pen. Else book is fine. Browning to DJ spine. Light sticker residue to front panel. ; 160 pages; Most modern studies of Athenian religion have focused on festivals, cult practices, and individual deities. Jon Mikalson turns instead to the religious beliefs citizens of Athens spoke of and acted upon in everyday life. He uses evidence only from reliable, mostly contemporary sources such as the orators Lysias and Demosthenes, the historian Xenophon, and state decrees, sacred laws, religious dedications, and epitaphs. "This is in no sense a general history of Athenian religion," Mikalson writes, "even within the narrow historical boundaries set. It is rather an investigation of what might be termed the consensus of popular religious belief, a consensus consisting of those beliefs which an Athenian citizen thought he could express publicly and for which he expected fo find general acceptance among his peers." What emerges in Mikalson's study is a remarkable homogeneity of religious beliefs at the popular level. The topics discussed at length in Athenian Popular Religion include the areas of divine intervention in human life, the gods and human justice, gods and oaths, divination, death and the afterlife, the nature of the gods, social aspects of popular religion, and piety and impiety. Mikalson challenges the common opinion that popular religious belief in Athens deteriorated significantly from the mid-fifth to the mid-fourth century B. C. "The error in understanding the development of Athenian religion has arisen, it seems to me, because scholars have failed to distinguish properly between the differing natures of the sources for our knowledge of religious beliefs in the earlier and later periods," Mikalson writes. The difference between those sources "is more than simply one of years. It is a difference between poetry and prose, with all the factors which that difference implies."

DIEUX, FÊTES, SACRÉ DANS LA GRÈCE ET LA ROME ANTIQUES Actes Du Colloque Tenu à Luxembourg Du 24 Au 26 Octobre 1999
Very faint shelfwear else fine. ; Les fêtes publiques constituent sans nul doute un thème privilégié pour l'étude des religions antiques. Jalonnant en abondance les calendriers et profondément enracinées dans la vie sociale ainsi que politique, elles sont censées, à un titre tout spécial, promouvoir entre les hommes et les dieux des relations harmonieuses. Le sentiment d'une présence divine y est généralement très vif et, en Grèce plus particulièrement, on y trouve souvent réunies en un ensemble organique les principales manifestations de la dévotion religieuse : valorisation d'un temps sacré lié au rythme des saisons et de lieux saints traditionnels où l'on se rend en procession, prières, libations et offrandes, sacrifices et banquets collectifs, musiques, hymnes et danses, à quoi s'ajoutent encore, suivant un usage qui n'a fait que s'amplifier, des jeux et des concours. Cette accumulation de gestes pieux, accomplis dans une ambiance euphorique et conviviale de détente, contribue à faire de ces célébrations festives des temps forts de la vie des cités. Explorant ce thème d'une richesse quasi inépuisable, les quatorze études ici rassemblées forment un éventail très diversifié qui va des origines créto-mycéniennes de la religion grecque aux premiers siècles de notre ère, marqué par des conflits entre le culte impérial et le christianisme, en passant par les fêtes ancestrales qu'évoquent les poètes Homère ainsi que Pindare et par le renouveau qu'elles connaissent à la période hellénistique. Divers espaces du monde antique sont également parcourus, à commencer, certes, par la Grèce continentale et par Rome, mais en passant aussi par la Crète et par Chypre, par l'Asie Mineure où ont lieu des fêtes très particulières en l'honneur de Dionysos, par les rassemblements fédéraux qu'organisent les cités étrusques et par les cérémonies festives que l'on découvre dans les provinces romaines du centre de l'Europe. Ces approches pluridisciplinaires font alterner des exposés au sujet très ciblé et des essais de synthèse, tandis qu'un article conclusif vise à projeter sur la notion de fête les lumières de l'histoire des religions et amorce au passage une comparaison entre fêtes grecques et fêtes romaines. Les différentes contributions sont riches de nombreuses références aux travaux modernes.; Homo Religiosus Série II; 9.4 X 6.3 X 0.9 inches; 306 pages

Mueller, Hans-Friedrich
ROMAN RELIGION IN VALERIUS MAXIMUS
Faint staining to lower section of front inner cover and small stain (1cm) to first 2 pages. Staining to lower section of DJ (the reverse section cannot be seen unless DJ is removed). Small scratches to rear panel of DJ. ; Routledge Classical Monographs; 288 pages; Valerius Maximus was an indefatigable collector of historical anecdotes illustrating vice and virtue. His Memorable Deeds and Sayings are unparalleled as a source for the opinions of Romans in the early empire on a vast range of subjects. Mueller focuses on what Valerius can tell us about contemporary Roman attitudes to religion, attacking several orthodoxies along the way. He argues that Roman religion could be deeply emotional. That it was possible to believe passionately in the divinity of the emperor - even when, like Tiberius, he was still alive - and that Rome's gods and religious rituals had an important role in fostering conventional morality. The study further explores elements of ancient rhetoric, Roman historiography, and Tiberian Rome. The fact that Valerius was a contemporary of Jesus means his work is also valuable in reflecting the attitudes and beliefs of the ruling class to which Christ and his followers were politically subject, and which formed the background to the growth and persecution of Christianity.

Nasse, Christiane
ERDICHTETE RITUALE Die Eingeweideschau in Der Lateinischen Epik Und Tragödie
English summary: The differentiation between Etruscan and Roman sacrificial rituals is one of the fundamental problems in religious historical writing. Christiane Nasse shows that this assumption is based on a misinterpretation of key sources and features prevalent in a century of historical research. The critique leads to deconstruction: either the hypothesis of a dichotomy of extispicy appears plausible, or it is sufficiently defined as a "sacred linguistics," on which the research is essentially based. Following up on this question, the author investigates the critical sources for ritual slaughter according to historical referentiality on the one hand and textual dissociation on the other. She brings together late-antique commentators on Vergil such as Servius and Macrobius as well as laws from the Codex Theodosianus. Through individual analysis she throws a new light on the poetic representation of classical authors such as Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, Seneca and Silius Italicus, which renders essential the use of historical-critical methods on the one side and the basics of narratology on the other. German description: Die Unterscheidung von etruskischem und romischem Opferritual gehort zu den Grunduberzeugungen der Religionsgeschichtsschreibung. Christiane Nasse zeigt, dass diese Annahme auf einer Fehlinterpretation der zentralen Quellen und Besonderheiten einer hundertjahrigen Forschungsgeschichte beruht. Die Kritik fuhrt zu Dekonstruktionen: Weder erscheint die Hypothese von einer Dichotomie der Eingeweideschau plausibel, noch ist eine , Sakralsprachlichkeit', auf die sich die Forschung wesentlich stutzt, hinreichend definiert. Mit der Frage nach dem Historisch-Referentiellen auf der einen und nach literarischen Verfremdungen auf der anderen Seite untersucht die Autorin zentrale Quellen zu diesem Schlachtritus. Sie zieht spatantike Texte von Vergil-Erklarern wie Servius und Macrobius heran sowie Gesetze aus dem Codex Theodosianus. In Einzelanalysen wirft sie ein neues Licht auf die poetischen Darstellungen klassischer Autoren wie Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, Seneca und Silius Italicus. Grundlage hierfur bilden die historisch-kritische Methode einerseits und Ansatze aus der Erzahltheorie andererseits. ; Potsdamer Altertumswissenschaftliche Beiträge 38; 408 pages

GODDESS AND POLIS The Panathenaic Festival in Ancient Athens
Faint rubbing to titlepage. DJ has light creasing along upper edge. ; While the Olympics, because of their modern revival, enjoy the greatest fame today, in ancient Greece other religious festivals were equally elaborate and impressive spectacles. The lavishly illustrated Goddess and Polis is the first work devoted to the Panathenaia, the most significant of these festivals to be held in ancient Athens. Founded in 566 B. C. , this complex ritual performed for the goddess Athena vied with other Greek festivals in grandeur and importance and was particularly distinguished by the works of art commissioned in its service. Among these were the painted vases known as Panathenaic amphoras, each of which contained forty liters of olive oil, awarded to athletic and equestrian victors. The contests depicted on these vases are the best extant illustrations of Greek sport. Although women were excluded from the competitions, they had an important role to play in the weaving of the peplos, an elaborate textile that took nine months to produce. The culmination of the festival was a long procession bearing this new robe to the cult statue of the goddess; the procession in turn was the subject of another great work of art, the Parthenon frieze. Combining art, spectacle, and civic consciousness, the Panathenaia contributed to the development of the high classical style of Periklean Athens. This book deals with every aspect of the festival and produces a vivid portrait of the worship of the patron goddess of the city. Essays by eminent classical scholars examine in depth the musical and poetic competitions, the athletic and equestrian contests, the peplos, and the evolving image of Athena as documented in sculpture from the Acropolis. Jenifer Neils, the curator of the exhibition Goddess and Polis, held at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, has contributed an introduction to the Panathenaia, an essay on the prize amphoras, and detailed entries for the seventy objects exhibited.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 232 pages

WORSHIPPING ATHENA Panathenaia and Parthenon
Minor shelfwear. From the library of Jenifer Neils. ; The foremost religious festival of ancient Athens—the city dedicated to Athena, goddess of war, fertility, arts, and wisdom—was the Panathenaia. Challenging old assumptions and refuting new theories, Worshipping Athena addresses the many problems of interpretation and understanding that have swirled for years around the Panathenaia. Among the issues discussed is the recent sensational controversy over the Parthenon frieze, perhaps the best known but least understood work of Greek art. For centuries the frieze has been thought to represent the Panathenaia procession, but recently the argument has been advanced that it depicts the sacrifice of the daughters of the Athenian king Erechtheus. Worshipping Athena offers compelling evidence that the frieze does indeed depict the festal procession and also demonstrates that scenes of contemporary ritual were not unique to the Parthenon. Editor Jenifer Neils and the contributors—eminent classicists, archaeologists, and art historians—explore the role of the Panathenaia in Athenian life and compare it with similar festivals held throughout the ancient Greek world. They discuss such topics as the Panathenaia’s mythical origins, the phenomenon of the festival’s valuable prizes (oil-filled amphoras, rather than the customary laurel wreath) , and the architecture, sculpture, and painting related to the festival. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 224 pages

Editor Jenifer Neils and the contributors—eminent classicists, archaeologists, and art historians—explore the role of the Panathenaia in Athenian life and compare it with similar festivals held throughout the ancient Greek world. They discuss such topics as the Panathenaia’s mythical origins, the phenomenon of the festival’s valuable prizes (oil-filled amphoras, rather than the customary laurel wreath) , and the architecture, sculpture, and painting related to the festival. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 224 pages
