Greek Women, Death and Food
Women's memorial services for the dead and their accompanying gifts constitute an important aspect of Greek death rituals. It is crucial to include women's perspectives if we want to understand rituals, therefore attention has to be paid to the meals and food offerings at the tombs, the importance of a series of commemorative ceremonies after the burial involving gifts, the days dedicated to the dead. Food is central in Greek religion, because th…

Senses and Gender in Modern and Ancient Greek Healing Rituals
This article presents ethnographic fieldwork combined with studies of historical sources to explore modern and ancient healing rituals in Greece. It focuses on the importance of the senses, especially smell, taste, and sight, in relation to gendered practices and beliefs about healing. In Greece, healing rituals are generally connected with the domestic sphere where women are the dominant agents of power. Based upon the author’s fieldwork, the ar…
Fieldwork and Ancient Sources
The article presents a new method for the study of antiquity: ethnographic fieldwork results combined with studies of ancient sources. The study addresses the interrelationship between oral and written sources. The pilgrimage centre located on the island of Tinos, which houses a miraculous holy icon (image) of the Annunciation of the Panagia (“the All-Holy One”, or the Virgin Mary), is central here. Many dedications in the sanctuary are memorials…
Celebrating the Construction of the Most Important Pilgrimage Centre in Modern Greece
After several mystical visions of the nun, Pelagia, the holy icon of the Annunciation of the Panagia (“the All-Holy One”, or the Virgin Mary) was found on the island of Tinos in 1823. According to tradition, Pelagia repeatedly witnessed the Panagia in her visions and received orders from her to find the icon and also to build her church. The icon was unearthed in the field where it had remained since the church, built on the ruins of a pagan temp…

The festival is dedicated to saints Kōnstantinos and his mother, Elenē, depicted on holy icons brought from Kōsti. Participants’ primary focus is an ecstatic dance over red-hot coals while possessed by the saint. Proscribed by official Orthodox religion, it w…

The Legend and Popular Festival ofAgios(Saint) Charalampos, and its Parallels in the Wider Greek Context, Ancient and Modern
The liturgical festival dedicated to Agios (shortened as Ag.), that is, Saint Charalampos, the protector of the farmers, is celebrated annually during the mating season of horses, so that the saint may stimulate the animals’ fecundity. Since he is also expected to assure an abundant harvest, he is celebrated later during the year with a popular festival in the village of Agia Paraskeuē on the island of Mytlini/Lesbos (henceforward Lesbos), where …

The Festival Dedicated to the Anniversary of the Vision of Agia Pelagia and Other Rituals
The local festival dedicated to the Anniversary of the Vision of Agia (Saint) Pelagia or Osia (Venerable, Blessed, Saint) Pelagia is celebrated on the Greek island of Tinos and is dedicated to one of the most recent Orthodox saints, Saint Pelagia, a nun that was sanctified in 1971. After the great Greek War of Liberation (1821) broke out, the pious nun Pelagia had several mystical visions that lead to the discovery of the miraculous icon of the A…
Emotion, Identity, and Death in the Greek Tradition and Beyond
The article examines emotion and identity in the Greek death cult to clarify certain contemporary political phenomena in the Mediterranean where the cult of the dead is a common cultural pattern. Why is this cult so persistent? What is the death cult and how does it manifest itself? The article delves into its importance in Greece, where the author has had several periods of fieldwork. To illustrate the persistence of this cultural pattern, its c…
Greske kvinner, kropp og makt. Feltarbeid på kulter knyttet til kvinnesfæren som utgangspunkt for en dekonstruksjonistisk lesning av mannsideologier nå og før
By taking the statements in ancient Greek sources produced by men literally, it has been claimed that ancient women’s religious activities were performed under male dominance, or ‘appropriated’. So was the female body. The article argues that these statements need to be reconsidered. Based on studies in the same ancient sources, combined with results from fieldworks carried out on contemporary Greek religious festivals, a comparison is made with …
The Dormition of the Virgin Mary on the Island of Tinos
On the Greek island of Tinos, the Dormition of the Virgin Mary is celebrated on 15 August. This death, fertility, and healing festival is important for several reasons: the church of the “Annunciation” owes its fame to a miraculous holy icon; the miracles worked by this icon have made Tinos a centre of pan‐Orthodox worship; and pilgrimages are particularly made to the shrine during the Dormition. The celebration is also an important ideological f…
The Ritual Year of Athena
Through the ritual year of ancient Athens, many festivals were dedicated to Athena. The Panathenaia was the most important festival. It has been regarded as a political festival, but the importance of agriculture is also illustrated through the offerings and rituals carried out during this main festival dedicated to the Goddess of the olive crop. All Athena's festivals were related to the olive, the third main crop of the Athenians, and protected…

“Take, Skamandros, My Virginity”
This chapter compares the importance of water in religious rituals linked to life-cycle passages in modern and ancient Greece. It focuses on girls entering their womanhood and marriage. The male sphere is usually connected with the official world, and the female with the domestic world, but this does not imply that the female sphere is marginal as some researchers have claimed. August 15th marks the end of the fifteen-day fast in honor of the Pan…

Mannlige verdier i antikken og deres tilsynekomst kontra fravær i De eleusinske mysteriene
Den følgende artikkelen er i to deler. Første delen behandler mannlige verdier i antikkens Hellas, ut fra en komparativ innfallsvinkel som nytter materiale fra lignende moderne mediterrane samfunn, først og fremst forestillingene knyttet til ’ære og skam’. Den andre delen diskuterer hvordan disse verdiene kommer til syne eller legges til side i De eleusinske mysteriene. Det betyr at selv om det følgende hovedsakelig fokuserer på mannlige verdier,…
En historisk analyse av sammenhengen mellom gresk dødekult i dag og i antikken
Keiserkult
It has been claimed that, originally, the divinity of the living emperor was alien to traditional Greek and Roman religion. This article tries to show that elements which are introduced with a foreign cult - the cult of the living emperor - may be latent in the traditional cult - the cult of the dead, the ancestor-cult, the need for a present benefactor and subsequently a cult to him - which then become relevant. The socalled foreign cult of the …
