Ingewikkelde mythologische verhalen vol avontuur, geweld en erotiek vertellen over de duizenden goden van de oude Egyptenaren. We kunnen onze schouders erover ophalen, maar dan doen we die eeuwenoude godsdienst toch tekort. Meer dan drieduizend jaar lang hebben deze goden mensen aangesproken die tot de meest ontwikkelde volkeren van de oudheid behoorden. Alleen als we hun geloof serieus nemen, kunnen we iets van hun cultuur begrijpen.Daarom staan in dit boek de goden van Egypte centraal. We gaan zoeken naar de structuur van de godenwereld en de principes van hun onderlinge betrekkingen. We ontdekken zo de idealen van de Egyptenaren, hun wereldbeeld, en hun gevoel voor orde en rechtvaardigheid. Al die exotische goden blijken vaak personificaties van natuurkrachten te zijn, of projecties van ethische beginselen: dezelfde krachten en principes waarmee ook de moderne mens worstelt. Culturen zijn wel veranderd, maar het menselijk brein niet.Na een hoofdstuk over het ontstaan van de kosmos komen secties gewijd aan de hemel, de aarde en de onderwereld. Samen geven die een Egyptisch antwoord op de universele vragen: Waar komt de wereld vandaan? Waartoe zijn wij op aarde? Hoe kiezen we tussen goed en kwaad? Wat gebeurt er na onze dood? Daarna onderzoeken we de transformatie van de Egyptische religie na afloop van de faraonische periode. Daarbij trekken we de lijn door naar het heden. Ook tegenwoordig zijn de Egyptische goden nog springlevend in de populaire cultuur van film, strips, fantasy, tatoeages en commercie.(https://www.sidestone.com/books/goden-van-egypte)

When we sing lines in which a fifteenth-century musician uses ethereal polyphony to complain mundanely about money or hoarseness, more than half a millennium melts away. Equally intriguing are moments in which we experience solmization puns. These familiar worries and surprising jests break down temporal distances, humanizing the lives and endeavors of our musical forebears. Yet many instances of self-reference occur within otherwise serious pieces. Are these simply in-jokes, or are there more meaningful messages we risk neglecting if we dismiss them as comic relief? Music historian Jane D. Hatter takes seriously the pervasiveness of these features. Divided into two sections, this study considers pieces with self-referential features in the texts separately from discussions of pieces based on musical self-referential elements. Examining connections between self-referential repertoire from the years 1450-1530 and similar self-referential creations for painters' guilds, reveals musicians' agency in forming the first communities of early modern composers.

This book was the first to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the impact of money on the economy, society and culture of the Greek and Roman worlds. It uses new approaches in economic history to explore how money affected the economy in antiquity and demonstrates that the crucial factors in its increasing influence were state-formation, expanding political networks, metal supply and above all an increasing sophistication of credit and contractual law. Covering a wide range of monetary contexts within the Mediterranean over almost a thousand years (c.600 BC-AD 300), it demonstrates that money played different roles in different social and political circumstances. The book will prove an invaluable introduction to upper-level students of ancient money, while also offering perspectives for future research to the specialist.

This book is a controversial new biography of the apostle Paul that argues for his inclusion in the pantheon of key figures of classical antiquity, along with the likes of Socrates, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and Augustus. It first provides a critical reassessment of the apostle's life in its historical context that focuses on Paul's discourse of authority, which was both representative of its Roman context and provocative to his rivals within Roman society. It then considers the legend that developed around Paul as the history of his life was elaborated and embellished by later interpreters, creating legends that characterized the apostle variously as a model citizen, an imperial hero, a sexual role model, an object of derision and someone to quote from. It is precisely this rewriting of Paul's history into legend that makes the apostle a key transformative figure of classical antiquity.
