Descrizione libro Cloth with dustjacket. Condizione: Gut. XIV, 269 p.: Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben und weist leichte Randläsuren auf, sonst sehr sauber und in gutem Zustand / dust jacket lightly rubbed and has slight edge wear, otherwise very clean and in good condition. - Two great Persian invasions of Greece in the fifth century b.c. provide our best opportunity for understanding the interplay of religion and history in ancient Greece on a large scale. The first was ordered by King Darius and turned back by the Athenians at Marathon in 490 b.c., and the other was led by King Xerxes himself and repulsed in 480-79 b.c. by the allied Greeks at Salamis, Plataea, and Mycale. Using the Histories of Herodotus; writings by Plutarch, Pausanias, and others; and archaeological sources, Jon Mikalson shows how the Greeks practiced their religion at this pivotal moment in their history. In the period of the invasions and the years immediately afterward, the Greeks internationally, state by state, and sometimes individually turned to their deities, using religious practices to influence, understand, and commemorate events that were threatening their very existence. Greeks prayed and sacrificed; made and fulfilled vows to the gods; consulted oracles; interpreted omens and dreams; created cults, sanctuaries, and festivals; and offered dozens of dedications to their gods and heroes all in relation to known historical events. By portraying the human situations and historical circumstances in which Greeks practiced their religion, Mikalson advances our knowledge of the role of religion in fifth-century Greece and reveals a religious dimension of the Persian Wars that has been heretofore overlooked. / CONTENTS Acknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction ONE A Religious Account of the Persian Invasions TWO Greek Gods, Heroes, and the Divine in the Persian Invasions THREE Some Religious Beliefs and Attitudes of Herodotus APPENDIX Herodotus on the Origins of Greek Religion Notes Bibliography Index of Passages Cited General Index.
