Book Synopsis Ancient Art and Ritual by : Jane Ellen Harrison
Download or read book Ancient Art and Ritual written by Jane Ellen Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE title of this book may strike the reader as strange and even dissonant. What haveart and ritual to do together? The ritualist is, to the modern mind, a man concernedperhaps unduly with fixed forms and ceremonies, with carrying out the rigidly prescribedordinances of a church or sect. The artist, on the other hand, we think of as free inthought and untrammelled by convention in practice; his tendency is towards licence.Art and ritual, it is quite true, have diverged to-day; but the title of this book is chosenadvisedly. Its object is to show that these two divergent developments have a commonroot, and that neither can be understood without the other. It is at the outset one and thesame impulse that sends a man to church and to the theatre.Such a statement may sound to-day paradoxical, even irreverent. But to the Greek ofthe sixth, fifth, and even fourth century B.C., it would have been a simple truism. Weshall see this best by following an Athenian to his theatre, on the day of the great SpringFestival of Dionysos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Art and Ritual It may be well at the outset to say clearly what is the aim of the present volume. The title is Ancient Art and Ritual but the reader will find in it no general summary or even outline of the facts of either ancient art or ancient ritual. These facts are easily accessible in handbooks. The point of my title and the real gist of my argument lie perhaps in the word "and" - that is, in the intimate connection which I have tried to show exists between ritual and art. This connection has, I believe, an important bearing on questions vital to-day, as, for example, the question of the place of art in our modern civilization, its relation to and its difference from religion and morality; in a word, on the whole enquiry as to what the nature of art is and how it can help or hinder spiritual life. I have taken Greek drama as a typical instance, because in it we have the clear historical case of a great art, which arose out of a very primitive and almost worldwide ritual.

I have taken Greek drama as a typical instance, because in it we have the clear historical case of a great art, which arose out of a very primitive and almost world-wide ritual. The rise of the Indian drama, or the mediæval and from it the modern stage, would have told us the same tale and served the like purpose. But Greece is nearer to us to-day than either India or the Middle Ages. Greece and the Greek drama remind me that I should like to offer my thanks to Professor Gilbert Murray, for help and criticism which has far outrun the limits of editorial duty. J. E. H.
Book Synopsis Centaurs in Ancient Art by : Paul Victor Christopher Baur
Download or read book Centaurs in Ancient Art written by Paul Victor Christopher Baur and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centaurs in Ancient Art: The Archaic Period As to the decorative border at each end of the cylinder, Clay says: This seems to be a characteristic feature of the seals of the Cassite period. Dr. W. H. Ward has suggested that the seal had a thin metal 0 cap, presumably of gold, upon which the border was cut. It would be mere speculation to suppose that because the centaur is found on Cassite monuments, it was originated by the Cassites. All we can say is that they _knew the centaur as early as 1350 The Hittites, I am convinced, have a better claim than the Cassites to the invention of the combination between horse and man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading scholar in the United States on Chinese archaeology challenges long-standing conceptions of the rise of political authority in ancient China.

Book Synopsis Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion (Classic Reprint) by : Jane Ellen Harrison
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.
