DJ has 1 tiny tear.; Edinburgh Leventis Studies 5; 448 pages; The Greek gods are still very much present in modern consciousness. Although Apollo and Dionysos Artemis and Aphrodite Zeus and Hermes are household names it is much less clear what these divinities meant and stood for in ancient Greece. In fact they have been very much neglected in modern scholarship. This book brings together a team of international scholars with the aim of remedying this situation and generating new approaches to the nature and development of the Greek gods in the period from Homer until Late Antiquity. The book looks at individual gods but also asks to what extent cult myth and literary genre determine the nature of a divinity. How do the Greek gods function in a polytheistic pantheon and what is their connection to the heroes What is the influence of philosophy What does archaeology tell us about the gods In what way do the gods in Late Antiquity differ from those in classical Greece This book presents a synchronic and diachronic view of the gods as they functioned in Greek culture until the triumph of Christianity. . 2010. 0748637982 .

Light shelfwear to DJ.; This book explores an aspect of how Romans thought about themselves. Its subject is 'divine qualities': qualities like Concord Faith Hope Clemency Fortune Freedom Piety and Victory which received public cult in Rome in the Republican period. Anna Clark draws on a wide range of evidence literature drama coins architecture inscriptions and graffiti to show that these qualities were not simply given cult because they were intrinsically important to 'Romans'. They rather became 'Roman' through claims counter-claims appropriations and explorations of them by different individuals. The resources brought into existence by cult temples altars coin images statues passwords votive inscriptions were visible and accessible to a broad range of people. Divine qualities were relevant to a broader social spectrum than is usually recognized and this has important consequences for our understanding of Roman society.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 380 pages . 2007. 0199226822 .

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.

""La Revue des traditions populaires, fondée par Paul Sébillot, est l’organe de la Société des traditions populaires créée en 1885. Le premier numéro de la RTP sort à Paris, le 25 janvier 1886, chez Maisonneuve Frères et Ch. Leclerc, 25 quai Voltaire. Le numéro coûte 1 franc, mais la revue est adressée gratuitement aux membres de la Société des traditions populaires. Faisant le constat du retard pris en France par les recherches sur les traditions populaires, beaucoup plus développées dans les autres pays européens où « certains collecteurs de contes étaient regardés par leurs concitoyens comme des écrivains nationaux au premier chef », la revue veut s’attacher à l’étude des traditions populaires ou démologie. En dépit d’un certain flottement dans la dénomination de ce qui veut apparaître comme une nouvelle discipline, les principales matières de ces études sont clairement identifiées et se ramènent à six groupes principaux : La littérature orale , Les jeux et les divertissements , L’ethnographie traditionnelle , La linguistique, en tant qu’elle se rapporte aux légendes et aux coutumes , Les arts populaires , Les productions littéraires envisagées dans leurs rapports avec les récits et les croyances du peuple.""
