Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines an intriguing epigram engraved circa 400 AD on the walls of a Christian basilica on the island of Andros, Greece. The epigram itself remains one of just a handful of fragments penned by ancient poet Palladas of Alexandria, whose work is generally noted more for its humorous tone than for its length or religious themes. The author uses the epigram to unpack Palladas' attitudes toward the nature of belief in a single God and the relationship between the human and the divine, positing that this one epigram provides insights into Palladas' unique perspective on Christianity's divergence from the paganism that preceded it. The historical context of the time, with its blend of pagan and early Christian beliefs, is explored in-depth, and a compelling case is made that Palladas' epigram is an important window into the mind of a man grappling with these transformative times. Through careful analysis of the historical, religious, and literary context of Palladas' epigram, this book offers an enriched understanding of the poet and the evolving religious landscape of the late Roman world that shaped his beliefs.
