Paperback. Condition: New. "What is a Greek priest?" The volume, which has its origins in a symposium held at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, D.C., focuses on the question through a variety of lenses: the visual representation of cult personnel, priests as ritual experts, variations of priesthood, ideal concepts and their transformation, and the role of manteis. Each chapter looks at how priests and religious officials used a potential authority to promote themselves and their posts, how they played a role in conserving, shaping and reviving cult activity, how they acted behind the curtain of polis institutions, and how they performed as mediators between men and gods. It becomes clear that Greek priests had many faces, and that the factors that determined their roles and activities are political as well as historical, religious as well as economic, idealistic as well as pragmatic, personal as well as communal.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Hans-Joachim Gehrke behandelt entscheidende Fragen menschlicher Orientierung: Wie gingen Menschen in den antiken Kulturen des Mittelmeergebietes mit den Räumen um, in denen sie lebten Wie haben sie diese genutzt Mit welchen Augen haben sie sie gesehen Welche Rolle spielten dabei Religion, Tradition und Wissenschaft Wie verhalten sich die modernen wissenschaftlichen Annäherungen dazu Können wir von den 'Alten' etwas lernen - etwa zum Thema Respekt vor der Natur und Nachhaltigkeit Die Beiträge sind betont interdisziplinär, sie betreffen nicht nur die Altertumskunde, sondern auch die Geo-, Geschichts- und Umweltwissenschaften. Dass diese hier erstmals im Zusammenhang zugänglich gemacht werden, erleichtert nicht nur den Austausch zwischen den Fächern, sondern bietet angesichts der elementaren Themen auch Anregungen für ein Publikum über die Fachgrenzen hinaus. Der Band enthält die wichtigsten Beiträge Gehrkes aus seiner vier Jahrzehnte erstreckenden Forschungszeit auf dem Gebiet der Historischen Geographie und Landeskunde der Antike. 423 pp. Deutsch.
