Héros et héroïnes dans les mythes et les cultes grecs: Actes du colloque organisé à l’Université de Valladolid, du 26 au 29 mai 1999
La catégorie héroïque est une originalité grecque : d’autres systèmes religieux de la Méditerranée antique ne proposaient guère de notion équivalente. Mais qu’est-ce qui fait le héros grec ? La réponse est multiforme tant la question est complexe. Mais ne serait-ce pas, déclinée en des variations multiples dont cet ouvrage se veut l’écho, une des manières dont les humains mortels ont cherché à atténuer une transcendance divine trop vertigineuse ?…
The Dead with Golden Faces. II Other Evidence and Connections
In this second part of this paper I extend the study of the regions where gold funeral masks were widespread in the late 6th–early 5th centuries BC. The broader cultural and historical contexts give the opportunity to understand more clearly the ethnic situation in these northern Balkan lands and the political development of the local tribal communities. The cultural interrelations between ethnically different people in this territory are studied…
The dead with golden faces: Dasaretian, Pelagonian, Mygdonian and Boeotian funeral masks
Eleven gold and one gilded silver funeral masks have been discovered in the southern parts of the Central Balkans. They can be dated in the last decades of the 6th–early 5th centuries BC and belonged to the dead nobles of the tribal aristocracy of Dasaretioi, Pelagones and Mygdones. Another gold funeral mask was accidentally discovered in Boeotia and it could be dated to the Archaic period. Although these masks are reminiscent of earlier Mycenaea…
Two Silver Vessels with Dionysiac Scenes from Thrace
Two silver vessels from different periods, discovered in the lands of ancient Thrace are studied in this article. They were found several decades ago, but up to now they have only been mentioned in exhibition catalogues and short papers. The Borovo pitcher-rhyton is dated to 390–360 BC and belonged to the famous Odrysian King Kotys I. The upper frieze and lower friezes show Dionysiac scenes. The shape of the pitcher-rhyton and the iconography ind…
The Thracian Ithyphallic Altar From Polianthos and the Sacred Marriage of the Gods
This article considers the light thrown on Thracian Orphic doctrine by a stone ithyphallic altar dated to the fourth century BC, found near Polianthos, northern Greece. Its iconography combines symbols reflecting the sacred marriage, and can be paralleled in petroglyphs and figured metalwork; while its cosmological basis is also reflected in aspects of royal Thracian burials
