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...

Miasma: Pollution and Purification in Early Greek Religion
ISBN: 9780198147428 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most of the commonly read Greek texts address "pollution." The pollution theme appears in tragedies, historical texts, and political oratory. Purity is a constant concern in ritual texts, and Greeks underwent many small purifications in their everyday lives. Certain archaic religious movements even made "purification" the path to felicity in the afterlife. First published in 1983, Miasma is the first work in English to treat this theme in detail.

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.
