Für die Griechen war Medeas Heimat, das goldreiche Georgien, keine unbekannte Region, auch wenn in ihrer geographischen Vorstellung der Kaukasus eine überwindliche Grenze der bewohnten Welt darstellte. Zwei bedeutende Mythen - die Bestrafung des Prometheus und der Raub des goldenen Vlieses - haben hier ihren Schauplatz. Auch historisch gesehen gibt es eine Reihe von Anknüpfungspunkten mit der griechischen und später der römischen Welt. Diesen Spuren wird nachgespürt und ein lebendiges Panorama der vielfältigen Kontakte gezeichnet, die die Archäologie der antiken Kaukasusregion in einem neuen Licht erscheinen lässt: Medeas Heimat als spezieller Erinnerungsort im europäisch-kulturellen Gedächtnis.0Die Bebilderung prunkt im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes mit zahlreichen Neuaufnahmen prächtiger Werke der Goldschmiedekunst aus dem Tifliser Nationalmuseum, griechisch-römischen Vasenbildern und Skulpturen sowie Landschafts- und Architekturaufnahmen.

Our greatest blessings come to us by way of mania, provided it is given us by divine gift,' - says Socrates in Plato's Phaedrus. Certain forms of alteration of consciousness, considered to be inspired by supernatural forces, were actively sought in ancient Greece. Divine mania comprises a fascinating array of diverse experiences: numerous initiates underwent some kind of alteration of consciousness during mystery rites; sacred officials and inquirers attained revelations in major oracular centres; possession states were actively sought; finally, some thinkers, such as Pythagoras and Socrates, probably practiced manipulation of consciousness. These experiences, which could be voluntary or involuntary, intense or mild, were interpreted as an invasive divine power within one's mind, or illumination granted by a super-human being. Greece was unique in its attitude to alteration of consciousness. From the perspective of individual and public freedom, the prominent position of the divine mania in Greek society reflects its acceptance of the inborn human proclivity to experience alteration of consciousness, interpreted in positive terms as god-sent. These mental states were treated with cautious respect, and in contrast to the majority of complex societies, ancient and modern, were never suppressed or pushed to the cultural and social periphery.

This strikingly innovative account of Propertius' relationship with Virgil paints a remarkable picture of poetic rivals. Examination of their use of Greek mythology uncovers sustained polemics concealed and couched in meta-literary allusions, forcing a reshaping of our understanding of poetic interaction within the circle of Maecenas.

Les Grecs paraissent avoir conçu le monde idéal sans femmes. Pour résoudre la contradiction entre l’utopie d’un monde exclusivement masculin et la nécessaire présence des femmes pour perpétuer l’espèce, ils ont produit au moins deux types de discours relatifs à la paternité : des mythes donnant à voir un rêve, celui d’une paternité exclusive qui évincerait les femmes de leur pouvoir de reproduction ; des théories biologiques depuis les Présocratiques jusqu’à Aristote, qui, tout en admettant, à des degrés divers et sous des modalités variables, la participation des femmes au processus de génération, déprécient cependant la maternité au profit de la paternité. Ces deux formes de représentations mettent en évidence le phantasme de pouvoir se reproduire seul, ce que l’on peut appeler le complexe de Zeus, tant ce dieu semble en avoir été particulièrement investi. Ce complexe, dans lequel s’exprime une volonté de puissance par le déni de la maternité, manifeste que les Grecs ont pensé la paternité sous la catégorie du pouvoir.
