Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dream in Homer and Greek Tragedy This treatise is part of a broader investigation of the dream in all its aspects, literary and non-literary, to which I have devoted the spare hours of the last seven years. My primary interest in this investigation has been in the dream and its ways in Latin literature. A study published in Mnemosyne, 45, 78- 92, in which I suggested a possible source for one feature of a certain type of Roman dream, may be taken as defining to some extent my interest in the dream from the literary standpoint as well as presenting my conclusions with respect to the problems involved in the particular dream considered in that study. But to treat adequately the dream in Latin literature presupposes a knowledge of its ancestor and prototype in Greek literature, and so the present introductory monograph embodies one phase of my researches in the earlier field. It discusses some aspects of the dream in a portion of that field - Homer, Hesiod and Greek Tragedy. It concerns itself with the dream as an originating cause or directing principle of the action in poem or play, a moving force in the evolution of narrative or plot and in the introduction of smaller incidents and episodes. An American scholar has recently complained of the lack of a proper study of the matter of motivation in Greek and Latin tragedy and comedy. This essay touches upon a limited portion of that larger investigation. From another point of view it deals, within the limits of each dream picture, with the amplification of the dream, its increasing complexity, its growth and refinement, or its decay, as an artistic literary device. I hope at no far distant date to publish further studies in other aspects of the dream. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Epiphanies and Dreams in Greek Polytheism by : Michael Lipka
Download or read book Epiphanies and Dreams in Greek Polytheism written by Michael Lipka and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While modern students of Greek religion are alert to the occasion-boundedness of epiphanies and divinatory dreams in Greek polytheism, they are curiously indifferent to the generic parameters of the relevant textual representations on which they build their argument. Instead, generic questions are normally left to the literary critic, who in turn is less interested in religion. To evaluate the relation of epiphanies and divinatory dreams to Greek polytheism, the book investigates relevant representations through all major textual genres in pagan antiquity. The evidence of the investigated genres suggests that the ‘epiphany-mindedness’ of the Greeks, postulated by most modern critics, is largely an academic chimaera, a late-comer of Christianizing 19th-century-scholarship. It is primarily founded on a misinterpretation of Homer’s notorious anthropomorphism (in the Iliad and Odyssey but also in the Homeric Hymns). This anthropomorphism, which is keenly absorbed by Greek drama and figural art, has very little to do with the religious lifeworld experience of the ancient Greeks, as it appears in other genres. By contrast, throughout all textual genres investigated here, divinatory dreams are represented as an ordinary and real part of the ancient Greeks' lifeworld experience.
Download or read book Reading Dreams written by Derek S. Dodson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dodson reads the dreams in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18b-25; 2:12, 13-15, 19-21, 22; 27:19) as the authorial audience. This approach requires an understanding of the social and literary character of dreams in the Greco-Roman world. Dodson describes the social function of dreams, noting that dreams constituted one form of divination in the ancient world, and looks at the theories and classification of dreams that developed in the ancient world. He then moves on to demonstrate the literary dimensions of dreams in Greco-Roman literature. This exploration of the literary representation of dreams is nuanced by considering the literary form of dreams, dreams in the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, the inventiveness of literary dreams, and the literary function of dreams. The dreams in the Gospel of Matthew are then analyzed in this social and literary context. It is demonstrated that Matthew's use of dreams as a literary convention corresponds to the script of dreams in other Greco-Roman narratives. This correspondence includes the form of the Matthean dreams, dreams as a motif of the birth topos (1:18b-25), the association of dreams and prophecy (1:22-23; 2:15, 23), the use of the double-dream report (2:12 and 2:13-15), and dreams as an ominous sign in relation to an individual's death (27:19). An appendix considers the Matthean transfiguration as a dream-vision report.

Book Synopsis Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought by : Stephanie Holton
Download or read book Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought written by Stephanie Holton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how sleep and dreams were approached in early Greek thought, highlighting the theories of the Presocratic and Hippocratic writers on both phenomena as more varied, complex, and substantial than is usually credited. It explores how the Presocratic natural philosophers and early Hippocratic medical writers developed theories which drew from wider investigations into physiology and psychology, the natural world and the self, while also engaging with wider literary depictions and established cultural beliefs. Although the focus is predominantly on Presocratic and Hippocratic ideas, this is not exclusive: attention is devoted from the outset to sleep and dreams in Homer and the mythic tradition, as well as to depictions across lyric, drama, and historiography. Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought provides a fascinating study of this topic which will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient medicine and the history of science, Greek philosophy, and classical culture more broadly. It is accessible to students with or without knowledge of the classical languages, and also to anyone with a general interest in the beliefs of the classical world.
