Abstract

"In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy. However, scattered and scanty though they may be, there are allusions to threats of rebellion which challenge Zeus' supremacy. This book examines these passages, drawn from Homer, Hesiod and the "Homeric Hymns", to offer some new interpretations. While focusing on the theme of cosmic/divine strife, it becomes clear that hints of lost legends underlie these texts. Tracing their hidden logic helps to improve our understanding of early Greek poetry."--Bloomsbury Publishing In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy.

Abstract

The goddess Hera is represented in mythology as an irascible wife and imperfect mother in the face of a frivolous Zeus. Beginning with the Iliad, many narrative traditions depict her wrath, the infidelities of her royal husband and the persecutions to which she subjects his illegitimate offspring. But how to relate this image to the cults of the sovereign goddess in her sanctuaries across Greece? This book uses the Hera of Zeus to open up new perspectives for understanding the society of the gods, the fate of heroes and the lives of men. As the intimate enemy of Zeus but also the fierce guardian of the legitimacy and integrity of the Olympian family, she takes shape in more subtle and complex ways that make it possible to rethink the configuration of power in ancient Greece, with the tensions that inhabited it, and thus how polytheism works.

Abstract

Lewis Richard Farnell's The Cults of the Greek States, first published between 1896 & 1909, disentangles classical Greek mythology & religion, since the latter had often been overlooked by 19th-century English scholars. Farnell describes the cults of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their zones of influence, & outlines the personality, monuments, & ideal types associated with each deity. He also resolutely avoids the question of divine origins & focuses instead on the culture surrounding each cult, a position which initially drew some criticism, but which allowed him more space to analyse the religious practices themselves. Written to facilitate a comparative approach to Greek gods, his work is still regularly cited today for its impressive collection of data about the worship of the most popular deities.

Abstract

Cult and Koinon in Hellenistic Thessaly examines the territorial expansion of the Thessalian League circa 196-27 BCE and the development of the state religion of the League. Individual chapters trace the adoption of a common Thessalian calendar by new members of the League, the establishment of new regional festivals, the elaboration or reorganization of older cults, and League participation in a network of international festivals; cult could equally well enact alternatives to this political arrangement, however, and older religious traditions continued to be maintained both within new League territories and especially at Delphi. The result is a fresh portrait of the politics of cult on the Greek mainland in the later Hellenistic period.

Abstract

In der Renaissance wurde das Altgriechische als Literatursprache für das westliche Europa wieder neu entdeckt und durch Humanisten wie Angelo Poliziano und Markos Musuros in eigenen griechischen Dichtungen propagiert. In ihrer Nachfolge begannen auch deutsche Humanisten griechische Briefe zu schreiben und Verse zu dichten. Als bedeutendster unter den griechischen Dichtern der Renaissance in Deutschland gilt der Dichterphilologe Lorenz Rhodoman (1545?1606), der gleich mehrere größere Hexameterdichtungen veröffentlichte. Eine außergewöhnliche Stellung unter diesen Gedichten nimmt der bisher wenig beachtete Arion ein. Rhodoman bietet in diesem Gedicht eine ausgefeilte Bearbeitung der bei Herodot überlieferten Legende über den lesbischen Sänger Arion. Durch zahlreiche Anleihen aus der antiken Literatur gewinnt Rhodoman der Erzählung neue Seiten ab und nutzt sie, um über Aufgabe und Stellung des Dichters in seiner Zeit zu reflektieren. Ein Höhepunkt seiner Darstellung ist eine ausführliche Schilderung von Ledas Verführung durch Zeus in Schwanengestalt. Stefan Weise legt nun erstmals das im dorischen Dialekt verfasste Epyllion mit deutscher Übersetzung und ausführlicher Einleitung vor.
