The Myth of Sacred Prostitution in Antiquity
ISBN: 9780521178044 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this study, Stephanie Budin demonstrates that sacred prostitution, the sale of a person s body for sex in which some or all of the money earned was devoted to a deity or a temple, did not exist in the ancient world. Reconsidering the evidence from the ancient Near East, the Greco-Roman texts, and the Early Christian authors, Budin shows that the majority of sources that have traditionally been understood as pertaining to sacred prostitution actually have nothing to do with this institution. The few texts that are usually invoked on this subject are, moreover, terribly misunderstood....

Images of Woman and Child from the Bronze Age
ISBN: 9780521193047 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is a study of the woman-and-child motif - known as the kourotrophos - as it appeared in the Bronze Age eastern Mediterranean. Stephanie Lynn Budin argues that, contrary to many current beliefs, the image was not a universal symbol of maternity or a depiction of a mother goddess. In most of the ancient world, kourotrophic iconography was relatively rare in comparison to other images of women and served a number of different symbolic functions, ranging from honoring the king of Egypt to adding strength to magical spells to depicting scenes of daily life. This work provides an in-depth...
