Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 168 pages : 25 cm. 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of both the death of Martin P. Nilsson, the eminent Swedish scholar of ancient Greek religion, and the publication of the third edition of his monumental Geschichte der griechischen Religion. Nilsson s scholarly output was huge, with a production of around 20 items annually, and he touched upon most aspects of the study of ancient Greek religion, be it in a book or an article, in a footnote or an in-depth argument. This volume constitutes a re-reading of Nilsson in the light of new ancient evidence, and modern methods and theoretical approaches. Five leading researchers in this field of religion revisit major works of Nilsson s oeuvre Geschichte der griechischen Religion, vols 1 and 2 (Jon Mikalson and Eftychia Stavrianopoulou), Greek folk religion (Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge), Minoan-Mycenaean religion (Matthew Haysom) and Greek piety (Michael D. Konaris) in order to explore whether his works today are mainly touched upon with just the usual obligatory references or if they still have an active impact on contemporary discourses. Hopefully, this undertaking will stimulate others to explore the vast landscape of Nilsson s work in the future. Contents Initial remarks.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 272 pages : illustration (some color) ; 28 cm. Contains contributions in English and French International conference proceedings 12 English, and 4 French contributions. Summary:"The importance of the zooarchaeological evidence as a source for ritual practices in ancient Greece is gradually becoming widely recognized. Animal bones form the only category of evidence for Greek cult which is constantly significantly increasing, and they can complement and elucidate the information provided by texts, inscriptions and images. This volume brings together sixteen contributions exploring ritual practices and animal bones from different chronological and geographical perspectives, foremost ancient Greece in the historical period, but also in the Bronze Age and as early as the Neolithic period, as well as Anatolia, France and Scandinavia, providing new empirical evidence from a number of major sanctuaries and cult-places. On a methodological level, the complexity of identifying ritual activity from the zooarchaeological evidence is a recurrent theme, as is the prominence of local variation visible in the bone material, suggesting that the written sources and iconography may offer simplified or idealized versions of the rituals actually performed. Although zooarchaeology needs to and should be integrated with other kinds of sources, the independent study of the bones in an unbiased manner is of utmost importance, as the bones can provide a different "reality" than that encountered in our other sources.".…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 315 pages : illustrations, maps, plans ; 24 cm. In English; one contribution in French. In recent years Greek religion has emerged as one of the main topics for the study of ancient Greek society as a whole. This flourishing interest is certainly due to the recognition of the centrality of religion to Greek culture: religious beliefs and practices were connected to almost every aspect of the Greek world. This volume brings together fourteen contributions from a group of upcoming international scholars, presented at a conference held in the Swedish Institute at Athens and the British School at Athens in 2008. The papers take a wide range of approaches: archaeological, epigraphic, iconographical, philological and historical. They demonstrate the diversity of the subject, covering such issues as nineteenth-century historiography, cult epithets, the pantheon, regionalism, polis religion, the performance of ritual, the use of music in ritual, the accessibility of sacred space, and the visual aspects of dedications. The contributions bring new theoretical perspectives, seek to better understand ritual, and highlight the variety of Greek religion.…

Collection "Histoire". La peur est indissociable de notre manière d?expérimenter le monde, et elle détermine notre manière de voir. Processus à la fois cognitif et opérateur de choix décisionnels soumis aux normes sociales en vigueur, la peur n?est pourtant ni sémantiquement définie ni linguistiquement formée. Elle a besoin d?un complément qui l?ancre dans l?expérience : peur des dieux ou de Dieu, du pouvoir, de l?autre, de la guerre, de la mort, etc.L?ouvrage étudie les manières de nommer la peur, de la verbaliser, de la comprendre, de l?interpréter ; les manières de la somatiser, de la rêver, de la mettre en gestes, de la visualiser dans l?art et de la matérialiser dans des objets. À travers l?étude de la peur, de ses mécanismes mais aussi de ses usages sociaux et politiques, c?est toute une histoire des émotions qui est ici esquissée au sein des mondes de langue grecque, de l?Antiquité au XIXe siècle. C?est aussi une histoire des sociétés concernées car, à travers la peur, se joue leur rapport au divin, aux autorités, aux ennemis, aux proches, aux étrangers et aux compatriotes, à soi-même enfin.…
