1998ref. 2961Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Hardcover. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing.; A large number of Greek religious poems in hexameter were attributed to Orpheus as they were to similar miracle-man figures like Bakis Musaeus Abaris Aristeas Epimenides and the Sybil. Of this vast literature only two examples survive whole: a set of hymns composed at some point in the 2nd or 3rd century AD and an Orphic Argonautica composed somewhere between the 4th and 6th centuries AD. Earlier Orphic literature which may date back as far as the 6th century BC survives only in papyrus scraps or in quotations by later authors.; 296 pages; Sandpiper reprint of 1983 Edition. . 1998. 0198148542 .

1972ref. 29541Ithaca:: Cornell University Press 1972. First Hardcover Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. All the known theories and incidents of witchcraft in Western Europe from the fifth to the fifteenth century are set forth in this comprehensive history. Building on a foundation of primary sources and secondary interpretations Jeffrey Burton Russell first establishes the facts and then explains the phenomenon of witchcraft in terms of its social and religious environment particularly in relation to medieval heresies. Russell treats European witchcraft as a product of Christianity grounded in heresy more than in the magic and sorcery that have existed in other societies. Skillfully blending narration with analysis he shows how social and religious changes nourished the spread of witchcraft until large portions of medieval Europe were in its grip "from the most illiterate peasant to the most skilled philosopher or scientist."

Very light shelfwear else Fine.; BAR International Series 1220; 153 pages; The Greek and Roman year were divided into festivals and games even more than our year is today.

DJ has edgewear to top of spine.; 288 pages; Cult activity played an extremely important role in ancient Greece--to the point historians believe that the placing of cult centers played a major part in establishing the whole concept of the city-state in archaic Greece. The essays in this collection critically examine the social and political importance of sanctuary placement extending the analysis back to Mycenean Greece and on to Greece under Roman occupation. Revealing the complexity of relations between religion and politics in ancient Greece these essays show how important tradition gender relations and cult identity were in creating and maintaining the religious mapping of the ancient Greek countryside. . 1994. 0198149476 .

2010ref. 35520Edinburgh University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Hardcover. Very minor shelwfear to book. 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 .
