Abstract

This book contributes to the understanding of Dionysos, the Greek god of wine, dancing, theatre and ecstasy, by putting together 30 studies of classical scholars. They combine the analysis of specific instances of particular dimensions of the god in cult, myth, literature and iconography, with general visions of Dionysos in antiquity and modern times. Only from the combination of different perspectives can we grasp the complex personality of Dionysos, and the forms of his presence in different cults, literary genres, and artistic forms, from Mycenaean times to late antiquity. The ways in which Dionysos was experienced may vary in each author, each cult, and each genre in which this god is involved. Therefore, instead of offering a new all-encompassing theory that would immediately become partial, the book narrows the focus on specific aspects of the god. Redefinition does not mean finding (again) the essence of the god, but obtaining a more nuanced knowledge of the ways he was experienced and conceived in antiquity.

Abstract

Dionysos erscheint innerhalb der modernen Wissens- und Darstellungsformationen oft als untypisch für die antike Kultur, als Ausnahme im Kontext des antiken Polytheismus, ja als Instanz einer Differenz, die die Moderne antizipiert. Was können neuere Forschungen zum genaueren Verständnis der vielfältigen Transformationen des antiken Gottes beitragen? Dieser Frage widmen sich Vertreter aller Bereiche der Altertumswissenschaften in diesem Band, der aus einer internationalen Tagung im März 2009 im Berliner Pergamonmuseum hervorgeht. Eine vergleichbare Publikation liegt bisher weder in deutscher oder englischer noch in anderen Sprachen vor. Zu den in dem Band behandelten Themen gehören aktuelle Forschungsfragen - einschließlich wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Aspekte - zur Stellung des Dionysos im Rahmen der antiken griechischen und römischen Religion von den Anfängen bis zur Spätantike (Riten und Festkultur, Mythen, Epiphaniekonzepte, Theaterpraxis, Architektur und Ökonomie der Heiligtümer), anhand von - zum Teil neuentdeckten - epigraphischen, literarischen, bildkünstlerischen, historiographischen und philosophischen Quellen.

Abstract

'Dionysos' is one of the most-studied ancient Greek gods for students and academics. He is popularly known as the god of wine and frenzied abandon, and has great significance for theatre -- drama, in fact, originated as part of the cult of Dionysos. However, Seaford's book covers a wider range of issues, such as mystery, cult and philosophy, which have been overlooked by many studies. As a volume in the 'Gods and Heroes 'series, this work will provide an indispensable introduction to the subject, or reference point for higher levels of study.
