Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epilegomena to the Study of Greek Religion But, and this is important, the two notions are never very sharply sundered they are but two faces Of the same thought, or rather will, the will to live. Beating, at the first glance, looks like mere expulsion of evil - you beat the mischief out of a child]. But certain ritual prescriptions show another face. In Lithuania2 the Easter Beating must be inflicted with a twig or branch of birch on which the green leaves have just sprouted. Endless care is taken to secure this. If the birch branches do not bud in time the birch rods are kept in warm water for days-if even then they do not bud they are artificially heated in a stove pipe. In Orlagau in Thuringia the custom is called whipping with fresh green, and the spoken words tell the same tale: Good morning! Fresh Green! Long life! You must give us a bright thaler. All is to be fresh, new, bright, living. It is the induction by contagion Of new vitality and fertility. In Plutarch's ceremony, be it noted, the slave is beaten with rods of agnus cactus, a plant much in use in ancient medicine as a fertility charm.

Download or read book Savage Energies written by Walter Burkert and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often think of classical Greek society as a model of rationality and order. Yet as Walter Burkert demonstrates in these influential essays on the history of Greek religion, there were archaic, savage forces surging beneath the outwardly calm face of classical Greece, whose potentially violent and destructive energies, Burkert argues, were harnessed to constructive ends through the interlinked uses of myth and ritual. For example, in a much-cited essay on the Athenian religious festival of the Arrephoria, Burkert uncovers deep connections between this strange nocturnal ritual, in which two virgin girls carried sacred offerings into a cave and later returned with something given to them there, and tribal puberty initiations by linking the festival with the myth of the daughters of Kekrops. Other chapters explore the origins of tragedy in blood sacrifice; the role of myth in the ritual of the new fire on Lemnos; the ties between violence, the Athenian courts, and the annual purification of the divine image; and how failed political propaganda entered the realm of myth at the time of the Persian Wars.

Download or read book Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion (Classic Reprint) written by Jane Ellen Harrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion is not, despite the title, an introduction to Greek Religion. Beginners to the subject should look elsewhere, first, and return to this book later. Instead this is a study of the foundations (or alternatively depths) of Greek religion. It is not an easy read, nor intended to be, but it is an undeniable classic and amazing work of scholarship. Most of us are aware of the classical stories of Greek religion, Zeus, the minotaur, wax wings etc. Instead in this book Jane Ellen Harrison focuses on the rituals, mysteries and other features of the older religion that gave birth to these myths. Rather than godly beings consuming ambrosia on top of a mountain these are beliefs of ghosts, demons and potentially vengeful spirits which must be placated, or disaster will occur. As Harrison writes "Great things in literature, Greek plays for example, I most enjoy when behind their bright splendours I see moving darker and older shapes." This work provides insights, showing us the darker, older shapes moving behind classical Greek religion. Once you understand it you will not see the old stories in the same light ever again.
