  • The Religious History of the Roman Empire

    J A North, John NorthCHAPTER2017

    Historians of antiquity used to argue that, from the 6th century bce onwards, the religious traditions of Greek and Roman pagans became an empty shell maintained by elites who no longer had any belief in them except as a device for keeping the masses subservient. In recent decades this theory, always highly speculative and over-dependent on the views of ancient philosophers, has been largely abandoned. In fact, down to the 2nd, even the 3rd centu…

  • The Afterlife of Ovid

  • Caesar on religio

    John NorthARTICLEArchiv für Religionsgeschichte2014

    In the course of his famous account of the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar breaks off and digresses for a few chapters (6.11−28) on the religious customs of the Gauls and the Germans. This paper argues that, while there may not be too much to be learned from the digression about its ostensible subjects, it gives us a unique opportunity to assess whether Caesar had a conception of a ‘religion’ as such, of an area of religious activities and ideas withi…

  • Gender and Cult in the Roman West

    J A North, John NorthCHAPTERWomen and the Roman City in the…2013

    This chapter discusses the implications of the different rules of admission of important Roman West cults - Mithras, Isis, Attis - and of the myths associated with their deities. It explores the implications of reasonably well-established and familiar facts about the recruitment policy of these three cults, seen in relation to their main rituals and myths. The three cults of have been chosen because they take such contrasting attitudes towards th…

  • Power and Its Redefinitions

    John NorthCHAPTERPanthée2013

    The first of two themes in this chapter is the shifting perception of the figure of Attis in the debates of the past, giving priority to the contributions of books in the series launched by Maarten Vermaseren and originally called Etudes Preliminaires aux Religions Orientales. The second interweaving theme is the issue of power: The chapter takes it in this context to mean the capacity of a religious movement or idea to sustain or increase its re…

  • Pagan ritual and monotheism

    Open AccessJohn NorthCHAPTEROne God2010

    The Quarrels and Divisions of Religion were Evils unknown to the Heathen. The reason was because the Religion of the Heathen consisted rather in Rites and Ceremonies than in any constant belief. For you may imagine what kind of Faith theirs was when the chief Doctors and Fathers of their Church were the Poets. Francis Bacon, ‘Of Unity in Religion’ (1622) INTRODUCTION Bacon is here making ― in a characteristically short space ― three separate poin…

  • Pompeius Festus et l’origine du dictionnaire latin

    Open AccessJohn NorthARTICLELa lettre du Collège de France2010

    Dans la première de ses deux conférences, le professeur North a démontré que, en dépit de leurs imperfections, les documents qui nous informent sur le Lexique de Festus (iie s. de notre ère) sont assez importants pour établir que la tâche essentielle de Festus était de créer une version raccourcie du De verborum significatu de Verrius Flaccus, un antiquaire de l’époque d’Auguste. Quand Festus se permet d’avancer ses propres points de vue, c’est g…

  • Restoring Festus from Paul’s epitome

    John NorthARTICLEActa Antiqua Academiae…2008

    There is no doubt at all that many Festus entries can be restored, in whole or in part, on the basis of the summary given by Paul together with the surviving letters from F . There is also no doubt that earlier restorations have quite often gone too far and that the distinction must be preserved between what we can restore with confidence and where there is at least an element of uncertainty. The cases examined here have been chosen precisely bec…

  • Cosmology, creation, and the force of history

    J D North, John NorthARTICLEInterdisciplinary Science Reviews2000

    The twentieth century saw a dramatic rise in scientific cosmology, with its roots in the great telescopic discoveries, in the realisation that geometry need not be Euclidean, and in Einstein's general theory of relativity. The most consequential early finding was that the universe of galaxies is expanding, so that extrapolating backwards in time brings us to a singularity that might somehow be described as ‘the origin of the universe’. This brief…
