Book Synopsis The Hero Cults of Sparta by : Nicolette A. Pavlides
Download or read book The Hero Cults of Sparta written by Nicolette A. Pavlides and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the hero-cults of Sparta on the basis of the archaeological and literary sources. Nicolette Pavlides explores the local idiosyncrasies of a pan-Hellenic phenomenon, which itself can help us understand the place and function of heroes in Greek religion. Although it has long been noted that hero-cult was especially popular in Sparta, there is little known about the cults, both in terms of material evidence and the historical context for their popularity. The evidence from the cult of Helen and Menelaos at the Menelaion, the worship of Agamemnon and Alexandra/Kassandra, the Dioskouroi, and others who remain anonymous to us, is viewed as a local phenomenon reflective of the developing communal and social consciousness of the polis. What is more, through an analysis of the typology of cults, it is concluded that in Sparta, the boundaries of the divine/heroic/mortal were fluid, which allowed a great variation in the expression of cults. The votive patterns, topography, and architectural evidence permit an analysis of the kinds of offerings to hero-cults and an evaluation of the architecture that housed such cults. Due to the material and spatial distribution of the votive deposits, it is argued that Sparta had a large number of hero shrines scattered throughout the polis, which attests to an enthusiastic and long-lasting local votive practice at a popular level.

Book Synopsis Cults and Rites in Ancient Greece by : Michael H. Jameson
Download or read book Cults and Rites in Ancient Greece written by Michael H. Jameson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assembles fourteen highly influential articles written by Michael H. Jameson over a period of nearly fifty years, edited and updated by the author himself. They represent both the scope and the signature style of Jameson's engagement with the subject of ancient Greek religion. The collection complements the original publications in two ways: firstly, it makes the articles more accessible; and secondly, the volume offers readers a unique opportunity to observe that over almost five decades of scholarship Jameson developed a distinctive method, a signature style, a particular perspective, a way of looking that could perhaps be fittingly called a 'Jamesonian approach' to the study of Greek religion. This approach, recognizable in each article individually, becomes unmistakable through the concentration of papers collected here. The particulars of the Jamesonian approach are insightfully discussed in the five introductory essays written for this volume by leading world authorities on polis religion.

Book Synopsis The Spartan Regime by : Paul Anthony Rahe
Download or read book The Spartan Regime written by Paul Anthony Rahe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] monumental history . . . explaining . . . how Sparta’s early strategic role in the Greek world was inseparable from the uniqueness of its origins and values.” (David Hanson, The Hoover Institution, author of The Other Greeks) For centuries, ancient Sparta has been glorified in song, fiction, and popular art. Yet the true nature of a civilization described as a combination of democracy and oligarchy by Aristotle, considered an ideal of liberty in the ages of Machiavelli and Rousseau, and viewed as a forerunner of the modern totalitarian state by many twentieth-century scholars has long remained a mystery. In a bold new approach to historical study, noted historian Paul Rahe attempts to unravel the Spartan riddle by deploying the regime-oriented political science of the ancient Greeks, pioneered by Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Xenophon, and Polybius, in order to provide a more coherent picture of government, art, culture, and daily life in Lacedaemon than has previously appeared in print, and to explore the grand strategy the Spartans devised before the arrival of the Persians in the Aegean. “Persuasive.” —Thomas E. Ricks, New York Times Book Review “Rahe thinks and writes big. . . . The Spartan Regime breaks important new ground.” —Jacob Howland, Commentary “An important new history. . . . The story of this ancient clash of civilizations, masterfully told by Paul Rahe . . . provides a timely reminder about strategic challenges and choices confronting the United States.” —John Maurer, Claremont Review of Books “Rahe’s ability to reveal the human side beneath [an] austere exterior is one of many reasons to read this beautifully written, meticulously researched, and deeply engaging book.” —Waller R. Newell, Washington Free Beacon “A serious scholarly endeavor.” —Eric W. Robinson, American Historical Review

Download or read book Cretan Elements in the Cults and Ritual of Apollo written by Mary Hamilton Swindler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cretan Elements in the Cults and Ritual of Apollo: A Dissertation Recent excavations in Crete have placed in the forefront of Hellenic study the problem of determining what influences sur vived from the old Aegean religion in Hellenic worship. This debt which Greece owed to Crete is one that the ancients them selves recognized. Although the writers who mention this point did not have as an aid the monumental evidence which we possess, their testimony proves that myths and tradi tions survived in their time which recalled Cretan influ ence in religion no less than in institutions, laws, and art. Diodoros Siculus records the boast of the Cretans that most of the gods worshipped among men went from Crete to other lands, citing in particular, Zeus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Artemis and Apollo1 he notes also the claim that the mysteries had their origin among them and were communicated to Greece through their agency.' The Cretans undoubtedly overstated the case, even where the Greek gods are concerned. It is, however, undeniable that a certain element of truth lurks behind many of these traditions.
