  • Cosmography and the Idea of Hyperborea in Ancient Greece. A Philology of Worlds

    Open AccessFritz GrafARTICLEKernos2022

    The title of Renaud Gagné’s book hides as much as it reveals. Hyperborea, R.G.’s name for the country of the Hyperboreans, is attested in a wide variety of ancient texts on those fascinating and enigmatic people of the farthest North, of which the A. proposes a “slow reading”: this reading is also a test case in which he tries out his “anthropological philology”. “Philology” might seem too narrow a term, since R.G. does not only look at the texts…

  • The Hera of Zeus

    Open AccessVincianne Pirenne-Delforge, Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge et al.BOOKHera of Zeus2022

    The goddess Hera is represented in mythology as an irascible wife and imperfect mother in the face of a frivolous Zeus. Beginning with the Iliad, many narrative traditions depict her wrath, the infidelities of her royal husband and the persecutions to which she subjects his illegitimate offspring. But how to relate this image to the cults of the sovereign goddess in her sanctuaries across Greece? This book uses the Hera of Zeus to open up new per…

  • Eranos and the Religions of the Greeks and Romans

    Fritz GrafARTICLEASDIWAL Revue genevoise d…2021

    Cette étude se penche sur le rôle que la religion grecque a joué dans le contexte des rencontres d’Eranos. Après une introduction sur les objectifs d’Eranos et le rôle que l’étude des religions a joué dans ce contexte, je me concentre sur l’un des principaux membres de ces rencontre entre 1940 et 1950, l’éminent historien de la religion grecque antique, Karl Kerényi (1897-1973). J’analyse sa place dans l’étude des religions de la Méditerranée ant…

  • Creation in the Poimandres and in Other Creation Stories

    Fritz GrafARTICLEArchiv für Religionsgeschichte2020

    My paper develops from the observation that the cosmogonies in Ovid’s Metamorphoses and the Hermetic Poimandres are related to each other. After an analysis of Ovid’s text as an example of a diakrisis cosmogony in which the world is created by the sorting out of its originally confused elements, I give a short overview of the history of this type of cosmogony before Ovid. I then analyze the respective cosmogony in the Poimandres as another exampl…

    Fritz GrafCHAPTERGuide to the Study of Ancient Magic2019

    This chapter explores the term mágos and its cognates – and to what degree such terms signified “ambiguous or unsanctioned ritual.” Before the end of the 4th century BCE mágos and mágeia shifted from mostly ambiguous terms for itinerant religious entrepreneurs to designations with either positive philosophical or negative moral connotations. But a wider array of terms applied to religious specialists in ancient Greece, including mantis, agúrtēs, …

  • Theoi Soteres

    Fritz GrafARTICLEArchiv für Religionsgeschichte2017Citada por: 1

    Sōtēr is a frequently used cultic epithet of Greek gods, as is its feminine form, Sōteira. The epithets describe a superhuman agent who saves a human worshiper in a crisis that often involves a threat not just to one’s well-being, but one’s life. Both words are also used as simple names for a superhuman power, and there is a generalizing plural (theoi) sōtēres, “savior gods”. This study looks at the pre-Christian use of these terms and tries to a…

  • Gold Has Many Uses

    Fritz GrafARTICLEArchiv für Religionsgeschichte2016

    In this paper, I discuss a group of gold tablets from graves in Judaea-Palaestina from about 200 CE. I connect the text in these tablets with a well known funerary acclamation that originated in the East and was brought to the Latin West by immigrants and argue, against earlier scholars, that these tablets mark the very home of this acclamation and express a peculiar eschatology. I end with remarks on the multiple uses of inscribed gold tablets i…

  • Roman Festivals in the Greek East

    Open AccessFritz GrafBOOKRoman Festivals in the Greek East2015

    This study explores the development of ancient festival culture in the Greek East of the Roman Empire, paying particular attention to the fundamental religious changes that occurred. After analysing how Greek city festivals developed in the first two Imperial centuries, it concentrates on the major Roman festivals that were adopted in the Eastern cities and traces their history up to the time of Justinian and beyond. It addresses several key ques…

  • Early Histories Written in Stone

    Fritz GrafARTICLEArchiv für Religionsgeschichte2015

    Mein Aufsatz will zeigen, wie im Hellenismus und der Kaiserzeit mythische Erzählungen, die sich in öffentlichen Inschriften niedergeschlagen haben, die traditionelle Funktion des Mythos als Begründung für politische und religiöse Institutionen aufrecht erhalten und weiterleben lassen. Eine Inschrift aus Aigai in Kilikien (spätes 2. oder frühes 3. Jh. n.Chr.), welche die Rede des Sophisten Antiochos von Aigai enthält, begründet die enge Bindung di…

  • Cults and Rites in Ancient Greece

    Open AccessMichael H Jameson, Allaire B Stallsmith et al.BOOKCults and Rites in Ancient Greece2014

    This volume assembles fourteen highly influential articles written by Michael H. Jameson over a period of nearly fifty years, edited and updated by the author himself. They represent both the scope and the signature style of Jameson's engagement with the subject of ancient Greek religion. The collection complements the original publications in two ways: firstly, it makes the articles more accessible; and secondly, the volume offers readers a uniq…

  • Dangerous Dreaming

    Fritz GrafARTICLEArchiv für Religionsgeschichte2014

    Deubner’s thesis of an easy transformation of pagan into Christian incubation has been revived recently. In my paper, I argue against such an easy reception, both for general and for specific reasons. Christian theology was much more suspicious of dreams than the pagan world and would argue against an easy adoption of dream incubation; this is confirmed by the fact that the ritual forms of dream healing in Christian churches looked very different…

  • Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice

    Open AccessClifford Ando, Bruce Lincoln et al.BOOKGreek and Roman Animal Sacrifice2012

    The interpretation of animal sacrifice, now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual, has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert, the late J.-P. Vernant, and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and, in particular, no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writ…
