Anger is found everywhere in the ancient world, starting with the very first word of the Iliad and continuing through all literary genres and every aspect of public and private life. Yet it is only recently, as a variety of disciplines start to devote attention to the history and nature of the emotions, that Classicists, ancient historians and ancient philosophers have begun to study anger in antiquity with the seriousness and attention it deserves. This volume brings together a number of significant studies by authors from different disciplines and countries, on literary, philosophical, medical and political aspects of ancient anger from Homer until the Roman Imperial Period. It studies some of the most important ancient sources and provides a paradigmatic selection of approaches to them, and should stimulate further research on this important subject in a number of fields.

What activities did the women of ancient Greece perform in the sphere of ritual, and what were the meanings of such activities for them and their culture? By offering answers to these questions, this study aims to recover and reconstruct an important dimension of the lived experience of ancient Greek women. A comprehensive and sophisticated investigation of the ritual roles of women in ancient Greece, it draws on a wide range of evidence from across the Greek world, including literary and historical texts, inscriptions, and vase-paintings, to assemble a portrait of women as religious and cultural agents, despite the ideals of seclusion within the home and exclusion from public arenas that we know restricted their lives. As she builds a picture of the extent and diversity of women's ritual activity, Barbara Goff shows that they were entrusted with some of the most important processes by which the community guaranteed its welfare. She examines the ways in which women's ritual activity addressed issues of sexuality and civic participation, showing that ritual could offer women genuinely alternative roles and identities even while it worked to produce wives and mothers who functioned well in this male-dominated society. Moving to more speculative analysis, she discusses the possibility of a women's subculture focused on ritual and investigates the significance of ritual in women's poetry and vase-paintings that depict women. She also includes a substantial exploration of the representation of women as ritual agents in fifth-century Athenian drama.

La chevalerie présente deux acceptions, l’une sociale et l’autre idéologique. D’une part, le groupe aristocratique des combattants à cheval, et d’autre part les valeurs qui lui imposent des comportements spécifiques. Devons-nous la mêler inextricablement au christianisme ? Les penseurs des XIIe et XIIIe siècles justifient la prépondérance sociale des chevaliers par le péché d’Adam et la rupture de l’harmonie originelle qu’il entraîne. Ils considèrent que les miles — « élu parmi mille », selon l’étymologie d’Isidore de Séville — ont pour vocation divine de défendre le faible et de faire régner la justice, instaurant par les armes la paix. Cette théologie politique marque l’évolution de l’adoubement, qui emprunte alors à l’onction royale et aux sacrements chrétiens bien des éléments de son rituel. En recevant l’épée, dûment bénie, et la colée, le nouveau chevalier intègre un ordre, tout comme le clerc est ordonné. La prédication lui rappelle les devoirs spécifiques de l’état qu’il vient d’adopter, en particulier de mitiger sa violence et d’exercer sa puissance avec droiture et modération. Elle l’encourage à partir en croisade pour défendre la Chrétienté. Jusqu’aux années 1990, dans leurs analyses sur la chevalerie, les historiens ont repris la trame du discours normatif des clercs, que nous venons brièvement de présenter. Ils ont tenu pour vraisemblable l’influence extérieure de l’Église dans la mitigation de la violence nobiliaire, grâce à l’influence sur le code chevaleresque de la Paix de Dieu et plus largement du message évangélique. Depuis les vingt dernières années, d’autres spécialistes remettent en cause ce modèle, remarquant la nature idéale des discours des clercs médiévaux sur la chevalerie, qu’il conviendrait de déconstruire. Ils adoptent l’anthropologie culturelle pour méthode afin de conclure que, tout au long du Moyen Âge et de façon endogène, la société guerrière produit ses propres codes de conduite pour épargner les vies de ses membres dans les…
