Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. People have sacrificed their own kind to appease gods and spirits since the dawn of civilization. This book delves into the history of human sacrifice, a brutal practice observed in ancient Greece and Rome, to investigate its motives and meanings. Contrary to popular belief, human sacrifice was not solely driven by human depravity. The author reveals that religious beliefs and cultural factors also played a significant role. By examining specific rituals and analyzing their relation to myths and legends, this book unravels the complex web of customs, fears and motivations behind the practice of human sacrifice. It analyzes instances of sacrifice in Greek culture, from the ritual killing of a child to Zeus Lykaios to the sacrificial death of noble heroes and heroines that fills Greek mythology. It also explores accounts of human sacrifice in the Roman world, where the practice sometimes took on a political dimension. This book not only sheds light on a fascinating and disturbing aspect of ancient Mediterranean culture but also illuminates the role of religion and ritual in shaping human history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259537250_0
