Kings from the Sun: Usages of an Eastern title in the Sibylline Oracles and related material
The title “King from the Sun”—in the sense of a deliverance royal figure that will come from the Sun—appears repeatedly within apocalyptic literature throughout varied historic periods, albeit in slightly different depictions. We shall consider for this analysis how coming “from the Sun” and “from the East” are not synonymous and how the personalities, so to speak, of these anointed kings in the sources differ from one another. The present articl…
Ibn Fadlan and a By-passed remark on an imaginary geographical Topos: Some observations on the decreasing factual credibility regarding the caucasus area of the silk road
This article looks at some aspects of Ibn Fadlan’s journey to the steppe during the 10th Century to ostensibly establish friendly relations between the Abbasid Caliphate and the Volga Bulgars. He left a detailed account of his trip, which includes remarks on the mythical people of Gog and Magog, traditionally considered the eschatological enemies of the civilized world. Ibn Fadlan was somewhat incongruent regarding his portraits and opinions of t…
Mithridates and the Oracle of Hystaspes: Some dating issues
The dating of the so-called Oracle of Hystaspes or its Vorlage has for long been a major problem among scholars. This article attempts to articulate some issues present in the Oracle and similar or identical ones known to have been used in Mthridates’ VI Eupator propaganda. This can help not only dating the Oracle itself but also solve dating problems in Persian apocalyptic texts, whose dating may be pushed backwards
O uso de Dioniso como item de propaganda na revolta de Espártaco: Um Estudo De Caso
Neste artigo1 procura-se estabelecer a relação entre o quadro mais geral das Guerras Servis na Itália (notadamente a Terceira, ou Revolta de Espártaco, ocorrida entre 73-71 AEC) e os episódios de êxtase dionisíaco em diferentes momentos e locais relacionados a Espártaco. Atenção especial é dada aos aspectos trácios que ligam as serpentes (animal sagrado no culto ao deus, ou a seus assemelhados na Índia) à propaganda pró-Espártaco - em geral, liga…

Hesiodic reminiscences in Zoroastrian-Hellenistic apocalypses
This article fits into the general picture of investigations on meta-historical thinking in Antiquity, as well as possible links between Persian apocalyptic literature and early Christian literature. The paper also explores the long-standing debate on the influence of Zoroastrian thought on Jewish-Christian apocalyptic - or whether it was rather the other way round

Chemically-Induced Visions in the Fourth Book of Ezra in Light of Comparative Persian Material
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
