Cloth with dustjacket. Condizione: Gut. XV, 256 p.: Ill. 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 (IJC…T). - Schutzumschlag berieben, minimale Randläsuren, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket rubbed, minimal edgewear, otherwise very good condition. - This is the first synthetic study of the use and significance of light in ancient Greek cult of the Archaic and Classical periods (from the seventh to the fourth century BCE). It is based on all the available evidence, ranging from literary texts and inscriptions to representations of light in vase-painting and sculpture, and surviving physical remains from excavations of Greek sanctuaries. Light is treated both as an abstract component of brightness which forms part of the nature of the gods and as an artifact which assumes concrete forms in divine hands. As a possession of mortals, light is found to have been regularly involved in their contact with gods. Religious rituals are discussed in connection with the types and amount of light that they required, and reconstructions are suggested of the different roles that light played in them. The Light of the Gods shows that the involvement of light in Greek cult was a complex phenomenon which penetrated a great variety of ritual practices and religious beliefs surrounding the worship of gods in Archaic and Classical Greece. Extensively illustrated with photographs and line drawings, the book will be of interest to archaeologists at all levels, and also to students of Greek cultural history and religion. / Contents Acknowledgements Illustration Sources Conventions and Abbreviations Introduction: Aspects of Divine and Earthly Light I.
