Ancient Greek Love Magic
ISBN: 9780674006966 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The ancient Greeks commonly resorted to magic spells to attract and keep lovers--as numerous allusions in Greek literature and recently discovered "voodoo dolls," magical papyri, gemstones, and curse tablets attest. Surveying and analyzing these various texts and artifacts, Christopher Faraone reveals that gender is the crucial factor in understanding love spells. There are, he argues, two distinct types of love magic: the curselike charms used primarily by men to torture unwilling women with fiery and maddening passion until they surrender sexually; and the binding spells and debilitating...

The Stanzaic Architecture of Early Greek Elegy
ISBN: 9780199236985 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this study of poetic form in early Greek elegy, Christopher A. Faraone argues against the prevailing assumption that it was a genre of stichic poetry derived from or dependent on epic verse.

He points out how knowledge of the elegiac stanza can give us insight into how these poets alternated between stanzas of exhortation and meditation, used co-ordinated pairs of stanzas to construct lengthy arguments about...

Magika Hiera: Ancient Greek Magic and Religion
ISBN: 9780195111408 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The contributors survey specific bodies of archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence for magical practices in the Greek world, and, in each case, determine whether the traditional dichotomy between magic and religion helps in any way to conceptualize the objective features of the evidence examined. Contributors include Christopher A. Faraone, J.H.M. Strubbe, H.S. Versnel, Roy Kotansky, John...
