From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and largely adopted by the indigenous populations.

On Greek Religion
ISBN: 9780801449482 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "There is something of a paradox about our access to ancient Greek religion. We know too much, and too little. The materials that bear on it far outreach an individual's capacity to assimilate: so many casual allusions in so many literary texts over more than a millennium, so many direct or indirect references in so many inscriptions from so many places in the Greek world, such an overwhelming abundance of physical remains. But genuinely revealing evidence does not often cluster coherently enough to create a vivid sense of the religious realities of a particular time and place. Amid a vast...

Personal Names in Ancient Anatolia
ISBN: 9780197265635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ancient Anatolia was a region where many indigenous or at least long-established peoples mingled with many conquerors or incomers: Persians, Greeks, Gauls, Romans, Jews. Its rich and complex history of cultural interaction is only spasmodically illuminated by literary sources. Inscriptions, by contrast, abound and attest well over 100,000 name-bearing inhabitants. Many of those names retain regional associations, and when analysed with tact allow lost histories and micro-histories to be recovered.
This volume exploits the huge possibilities for social and linguistic history being created... Ancient Anatolia was a region where many indigenous or at least long-established peoples mingled with many conquerors or incomers: Persians, Greeks, G...

Athenian Religion: A History
ISBN: 9780198152408 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Inadequately documented, ancient Greek religion can all too easily be reduced to the dry analysis of archaeological remains and so-called ritual objects'. This authoritative new work attempts to bridge the gap that usually divides Greek religion from Greek history, setting it firmly in the thick of contemporary events and politics. How did people actually worship the gods? Was Socrates's trial a crisis for religion or the state, or both? These are among the key issues addressed in what promises to be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.
