  • The Epigraphy of Deathby Graham Oliver

    Liverpool University Press 2000; US$ 30.00

    Tombstones provide the largest single category of epigraphical evidence from the ancient world. However, epigraphy – the study of inscriptions – remains, for many students of history and archaeology, an abstruse subject. By marrying epigraphy and death, the contributors to this collection hope to encourage a wider audience to consider the importance of inscribed tombstones. more...

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2009; US$ 140.00

  • Dionysos und seine Gefolgschaft: Weibliche Besessenheitskulte in der griechischen Antikeby Judith Behnk

    Diplomica Verlag 2009; US$ 35.39

    Sie zerreißen Tiere mit bloßen Händen, lassen Milch mit einem Schlag aus einem unbelebten Felsen fließen und säugen wilde Tiere. Ganze Landstriche sollen sie in Angst und Schrecken versetzt haben - Die Mänaden - Die heiligen Anhängerinnen des Dionysos. So beschreibt es jedenfalls der antike Autor Euripides. Klingt wie ein Märchen, aber über Hunderte von Jahren waren diese heiligen Frauen keine Fiktion, sondern real. Die Autorin geht diesem Mythos auf den Grund und versucht Beweise für die wahren Mänaden zu finden. In einer weitgespannten Sammlung von Inschriften und Texten antiker Autoren, findet sie Hinweise auf die geheimen Rituale, welche die Frauen zu Ehren des Dionysos ausführten. Entgegen der damals herrschenden Ordnung machten sich überall... more...

  • Greek Pilgrimageby John Carroll

    Scribe Publications Pty Ltd. 2011; US$ 19.99

    This is a travel book in the grand sense. The horizons it explores are of land and sea, and of the mind. Greek Pilgrimage is a meditation on classical Greece, journeying through its great sites, monuments, and cultural works. On the way, it examines the country’s pivotal role in the foundation of the modern world. We who are born into the West are all Greeks. Here lie our roots. The ancient Greeks invite us to think about who we are, and the best ways to organise ourselves, to build institutions, and to make our cities beautiful. They lead us into a sceptical orientation to ourselves and the world we inhabit, questioning the meaning of it all. They have bequeathed to us science and philosophy, drama and sport, our engagement with nature,... more...
