Book Synopsis Ancient Greek Cults by : Jennifer Larson
Download or read book Ancient Greek Cults written by Jennifer Larson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using archaeological, epigraphic, and literary sources; and incorporating current scholarly theories, this volume will serve as an excellent companion to any introduction to Greek mythology, showing a side of the Greek gods to which most students are rarely exposed. Detailed enough to be used as a quick reference tool or text, and providing a readable account focusing on the oldest, most widespread, and most interesting religious practices of the ancient Greek world in the Archaic and Classical periods, Ancient Greek Cults surveys ancient Greek religion through the cults of its gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines. Jennifer Larson conveniently summarizes a vast amount of material in many languages, normally inaccessible to undergrad students, and explores, in detail, the variety of cults celebrated by the Greeks, how these cults differed geographically, and how each deity was conceptualized in local cult titles and rituals. Including an introductory chapter on sources and methods, and suggestions for further reading this book will allow readers to gain a fresh perspective on Greek religion.

This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go back in time to experience Greek religious practices with Zeus, Athena, Hera and other gods in The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. I, as this book is a survey of the most important texts and monuments of Greek mythology. The book is divided into eleven chapters: the Anionic Age, the Iconic Age, Cronos, Zeus, the Cult Monuments of Zeus, the Ideal Types of Zeus, Hera, the Cult Monuments of Hera, the Ideal Hera, Athena, and the Monuments of Athena Worship. The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. I starts with Aniconism, which is the absence of icons or objects of religious veneration. Historians cannot pinpoint the precise time when icons began to appear in Greek religion as objects of veneration, however, Farnell identifies early idols and the deity represented by each one. He then moves on to Cronos, thought to be the forerunner of Zeus. Farnell discusses the different theories of Cronos, including the idea that he is the Phoenician god Moloch. Farnell uncovers some religious rituals representing Zeus that were previously unknown, including his sole appearance as an oracle (at Dondonea), as well as human sacrifices to Zeus by the Arcadians. Zeus had a political significance not shared by other Hellenic deities and was also not seen in images or iconography for much longer than other deities. There are photographs and sketches of the ideal image of Zeus that help illustrate these points in the text. Farnell explains that worship of Hera has been separated from the original inspiration for it, making the symbolism behind Hera-worship harder to define. This explains why even in modern times Hera's mythology does not completely line up with her worship. The illustrations of Hera are excellent and help the reader draw his or her own conclusions. Unlike her counterparts, Athena appears to have no non-Hellenic forebears, leading to the conclusion that she is a wholly Greek creation. Farnell rejects the idea that Athena is associated with any of the natural elements. Instead she is said to be the representation of the city of Athens. Athena is the city-goddess, associated with ideas like wisdom, art and law. Although the book's tone is scholarly, it is easy to understand and presents its analysis in an engaging way. The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. I is a very readable book that will be of interest to anyone who studies mythology, art, Greeks, history or antiquity.

Download or read book Cults, Territory, and the Origins of the Greek City-State written by François de Polignac and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-08-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the classical Greek city come into being? What role did religion play in its formation? Athens, with its ancient citadel and central religious cult, has traditionally been the model for the emergence of the Greek city-state. But in this original and controversial investigation, Francois de Polignac suggests that the Athenian model was probably the exception, not the rule, in the development of the polis in ancient Greece. Combining archaeological and textual evidence, de Polignac argues that the eighth-century settlements that would become the city-states of classical Greece were defined as much by the boundaries of "civilized" space as by its urban centers. The city took shape through what de Polignac calls a "religious bipolarity," the cults operating both to organize social space and to articulate social relationships being not only at the heart of the inhabited area, but on the edges of the territory. Together with the urban cults, these sanctuaries "in the wild" identified the polis and its sphere of influence, giving rise to the concept of the state as a territorial unit distinct from its neighbors. Frontier sanctuaries were therefore often the focus of disputes between emerging communities. But in other instances, in particular in Greece's colonizing expeditions, these outer sanctuaries may have facilitated the relations between the indigenous populations and the settlers of the newly founded cities. Featuring extensive revisions from the original French publication and an updated bibliography, this book is essential for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Greece.
