  • Personal Religion in the Ancient Greek World

    Open AccessJan N Bremmer, Lin Foxhall et al.BOOKPersonal Religion in the Ancient…2025

    Much is known about the manifold ways in which ancient Greek religious beliefs and practices map onto the social and political structures of the ancient Greek polis. The way in which the individual served as the basic unit of ancient Greek religion, and the personal dimension of ancient Greek religion associated with it, is much less well understood. This book offers the first comprehensive study of ancient Greek personal religion since the major…

  • The Trojan Horse and Other Stories

    Open AccessJulia KindtBOOKTrojan Horse and Other Stories2024

    What makes us human? What, if anything, sets us apart from all other creatures? Ever since Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the answer to these questions has pointed to our own intrinsic animal nature. Yet the idea that, in one way or another, our humanity is entangled with the non-human has a much longer and more venerable history. In the West, it goes all the way back to classical antiquity. This grippingly written and provocative book bol…

  • Truth, Truthfulness and the Beginnings of Ancient Greek Historiography

    Open AccessJulia KindtARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2024

    This article offers a critical evaluation of Bernard Williams’s influential account of ancient Greek historiography and the place of ancient Greek thought in the early history of ideas in his last book Truth and Truthfulness: An Essay in Genealogy (Princeton, 2002). It argues that such an evaluation is warranted now not only because Williams’s stance continues to influence how Herodotus and Thucydides are viewed by scholars outside of classical s…

  • Localism and the Study of Ancient Greek Religion

    Open AccessJulia KindtCHAPTERLocal Horizon of Ancient Greek…2023

    This chapter explores how the local dimension of ancient Greek religion has featured in Classical scholarship. Kindt argues that the problem of location is intrinsic to the structure of ancient Greek religion, which, in the absence of traditional locations of authority, had multiple centres and peripheries. The way in which the Greeks conceived of the personalities of the gods and goddesses is a case in point: the idea of a unified existence as i…

  • The Local Horizon of Ancient Greek Religion

    Open AccessSusan Lupack, Jan N Bremmer et al.BOOKLocal Horizon of Ancient Greek…2023

    Which dimensions of the religious experience of the ancient Greeks become tangible only if we foreground its local horizons? This book explores the manifold ways in which Greek religious beliefs and practices are encoded in and communicate with various local environments. Its individual chapters explore 'the local' in its different forms and formulations. Besides the polis perspective, they include numerous other places and locations above and be…

  • Animals in Ancient Greek Religion

  • The barking Ur-Indo-German dog

    Open AccessJulia KindtARTICLEClassical Receptions Journal2018Referências: 8

    Classical scholarship has recently witnessed an upsurge of books, articles, and conferences exploring ancient human/animal relations. Scholars now investigate animals in Greek and Roman thought and literature as well as in different texts and real-life contexts. At first sight, this research seems far removed from the kind of questions earlier classical scholarship brought to the ancient evidence. While older scholarship seems to reflect a naïve …

  • Theologies of Ancient Greek Religion

    Open AccessBarbara Graziosi, Renaud Gagné et al.BOOKTheologies of Ancient Greek…2016

    Studied for many years by scholars with Christianising assumptions, Greek religion has often been said to be quite unlike Christianity: a matter of particular actions (orthopraxy), rather than particular beliefs (orthodoxies). This volume dares to think that, both in and through religious practices and in and through religious thought and literature, the ancient Greeks engaged in a sustained conversation about the nature of the gods and how to re…

  • Epic

    Richard Martin, Esther Eidinow et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Ancient Greek…2015

    Epic depictions of 'religion' are governed by a poetic imaginary, making literary analysis take precedence over comparisons with historical realia related to cult. Examples come from the categories of heroic libations, prayers, and poetic self-presentation. Within the first, pressures of narrative shape Nestor's drinking of an Eleusinian-style kykeon as well as Achilles' libation to Zeus of Dodona, underlining crises through reference to Archaic …

    This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of scholarship in ancient Greek religion, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods. It presents not only key information, but also explores the ways in which such information is gathered and the different approaches that have shaped the area. In doing so, the volume provides a crucial research and orientation tool for students of the ancient world, and also makes a vital contribution to the key deb…

  • On tyrant property turned ritual object

    Open AccessJulia KindtCHAPTERRethinking Greek Religion2012

    For it is only by repetition that signs and practices cease to be perceived or remarked; that they are so habituated, so deeply inscribed in everyday routine, that they may no longer be seen as forms of control – or seen at all. It is only then that they come to be (un)spoken of as custom, (dis)regarded as convention – and only disinterred, if at all, on ceremonial occasions, when they are symbolically invoked as eternal verities. Jean Comaroff a…
