  • Connecting present with a canonized past Neos and Nea for individuals in the Imperial period

    Stefano Caneva, Stefano G Caneva et al.ARTICLERevue de l histoire des religions2023

    This article analyzes how the adjective Neos / Nea was used to honour elite individuals of Greek cities in the Imperial period as « new » gods, heroes, or even mortals from the past. Through an analysis of all attested cases, we present the honorands, honouring agents, the honorific titles, the deities and media involved and explore if these titles imply a ritual treatment. A final discussion returns to seminal points : the meaning of the term Ne…

Specialists in Hellenistic history, epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics, and archaeology provide fresh reassessments of a variet…

The dative ritually positions the honoured rulers at the same level as traditional gods, whereas the hyper formula expresses ritual intercession by the gods for a third party. Ritual agent…

Generally translated ‘sacred’, it indicates that an object has been conceded to the gods and is now in relation with them (relation of belonging, protection, etc.).
