Book Synopsis Voice and Voices in Antiquity by : Niall Slater
Download or read book Voice and Voices in Antiquity written by Niall Slater and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voice and Voices in Antiquity draws together 18 studies of the changing concept of voice and voices in the oral traditions and subsequent literate genres of the ancient world. Ranging from the poet's voice to those of characters as well as historically embodied communities, and from the interface between the Greek and Near Eastern worlds to the western reaches of the Roman Empire, the scholars assembled here offer a methodologically rich and diverse series of approaches to locating the power of voice as both poetic construct and communal memory. The results not only enrich our understanding of the strategies of epic, lyric, and dramatic voices but also illuminate the rhetorical claims given voice by historians, orators, philosophers, and novelists in the ancient world.

Book Synopsis The Construction of Time in Antiquity by : Jonathan Ben-Dov
Download or read book The Construction of Time in Antiquity written by Jonathan Ben-Dov and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time has always held a fascination for human beings, who have attempted to relate to it and to make sense of it, constructing and deconstructing it through its various prisms, since time cannot be experienced in an unmediated way. This book answers the needs of a growing community of scholars and readers who are interested in this interaction. It offers a series of innovative studies by both senior and younger experts on various aspects of the construction of time in antiquity. Some articles in this book contain visual material published for the first time, while other studies update the field with new theories or apply new approaches to relevant sources. Within the study of antiquity, the book covers the disciplines of Classics and Ancient History, Assyriology, Egyptology, Ancient Judaism, and Early Christianity, with thematic contributions on rituals, festivals, astronomy, calendars, medicine, art, and narrative.
Book Synopsis The Economy of Roman Religion by : Andrew Wilson
Download or read book The Economy of Roman Religion written by Andrew Wilson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary edited volume presents twelve papers by Roman historians and archaeologists, discussing the interconnected relationship between religion and the Roman economy over the period c. 500 BC to AD 350. The connection between Roman religion and the economy has largely been ignored in work on the Roman economy, but this volume explores the many complex ways in which economic and religious thinking and activities were interwoven, from individuals to institutions. The broad geographic and chronological scope of the volume engages with a notable variety of evidence: epigraphic, archaeological, historical, papyrological, and zooarchaeological. In addition to providing case studies that draw from the rich archaeological, documentary, and epigraphic evidence, the volume also explores the different and sometimes divergent pictures offered by these sources (from discrepancies in the cost of religious buildings, to the tensions between piety and ostentatious donation). The edited collection thus bridges economic, social, and religious themes. The volume provides a view of a society in which religion had a central role in economic activity on an institutional to individual scale. The volume allows an evaluation of impact of that activity from both financial and social viewpoints, providing a new perspective on Roman religion - a perspective to which a wide range of archaeological and documentary evidence, from animal bone to coins and building costs, has contributed. As a result, this volume not only provides new information on the economy of Roman religion: it also proposes new ways of looking at existing bodies of evidence.

Book Synopsis Divining the Etruscan World by : Jean MacIntosh Turfa
Download or read book Divining the Etruscan World written by Jean MacIntosh Turfa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Etruscan Brontoscopic Calendar is a rare document of omens foretold by thunder. It long lay hidden, embedded in a Greek translation within a Byzantine treatise from the age of Justinian. The first complete English translation of the Brontoscopic Calendar, this book provides an understanding of Etruscan Iron Age society as revealed through the ancient text, especially the Etruscans' concerns regarding the environment, food, health and disease. Jean MacIntosh Turfa also analyzes the ancient Near Eastern sources of the Calendar and the subjects of its predictions, thereby creating a picture of the complexity of Etruscan society reaching back before the advent of writing and the recording of the calendar.

Book Synopsis Rot Gelticoi the Celtic Calendar by : Shinnilos Brivenos
Download or read book Rot Gelticoi the Celtic Calendar written by Shinnilos Brivenos and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's popular calendar was forced upon the people. Only after 2000 years has it been able to attain some kind of accuracy. Before this was imposed, people lived according to other calendars. In Europe, one of these calendars was the Geltic calendar, which was modelled after the moon and the sun. It was designed for the Geltic lands and, thus, it encompassed an area spanning from the Baltic Sea to Northwest Africa. I reconstructed this calendar based on folklore, ancient scripts, and my own experiences. The basis of the calendar is the calendar of Coligny, which is thousands of years old and was found in the Western Alps. The calendar is wholistic and therefore incorporates nature and the stars. It also interacts with the close environment. Therefore, one can find references to gods and goddesses within it, who are reflected in rivers such as the River Severn in Britain, the Danube, the Vistula as well as the Tagus River in Spain. The use of this calendar was persecuted by Christianity, Islam, and the Romans. However, its role over the course of time can be splendidly retraced in folklore. The universe is made out of several worlds, known as "tirs", and these are separated into three levels. The Gelts, indigenous peoples, and other ancient peoples already had this knowledge. This wisdom was--and is--still persecuted by the Church. I also added a global version of the calendar to this book, which is closely tied to the rhythm of the Earth. The book is over 380 pages long and sheds light on the following topics: The history of the calendar in Europe Cyclic festivals, half-moon festivals, and more... The persecution of the Geltica and the Celtic areas The gods and goddesses who are reflected in the landscape The rivers and mountains in Europe as well as in Northwest Africa, and their connection to the gods and goddesses An accurate calculation of the five-year cycle, the four seasons, and the two halves of the year Why the idea of a "Germanic" people and a "Europe" is nothing more than an artificial construction Many festivals, which are based on experiences and sources The three levels: the "Upworlds", the "Middleworlds", and the "Downworlds" Dragons and mythological beings The Rix Rigana cycle, or the "royal cycle" It also situates the festivals within the current, popular calendar Includes prophecies from folklore Includes information on several plants and their meaning Includes a global calendar for the Earth
