Paperback. Condition: New. Fascinating texts written on small gold tablets that were deposited in graves provide a unique source of information about what some Greeks and Romans believed regarding the fate that awaited them after death, and how they could influence it. These texts, dating from the late fifth century BCE to the second century CE, have been part of the scholarly debate on ancient afterlife beliefs since the end of the nineteenth century. Recent finds and analysis of the texts have reshaped our understanding of their purpose and of the perceived afterlife. The tablets belonged to those who had been initiated into the mysteries of Dionysus Bacchius and relied heavily upon myths narrated in poems ascribed to the mythical singer Orpheus. After providing the Greek text and a translation of all the available tablets, the authors analyze their role in the mysteries of Dionysus, and present an outline of the myths concerning the origins of humanity and of the sacred texts that the Greeks ascribed to Orpheus. Related ancient texts are also appended in English translations. Providing the first book-length edition and discussion of these enigmatic texts in English, and their first English translation, this book is essential to the study of ancient Greek religion.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Faccia P.Roma, 2015; br., pp. 335, ill., cm 16x21,5.(Orizzonti dello Spirito. 103). Gli affascinanti testi incisi su piccole lamine d'oro, poi deposte nei sepolcri, forniscono una straordinaria fonte d'informazioni su ciò che greci e romani pensavano dell'aldilà, e sul modo in cui credevano di poter influire su di esso. Questi testi, risalenti a un periodo che va dal V secolo a.C. al II secolo d.C, hanno suscitato un dibattito che prosegue da quasi un secolo e mezzo. Le lamine appartenevano a coloro che erano stati iniziati ai misteri di Dioniso; le parole incise su di esse erano tratte da poemi attribuiti allo straordinario cantore e sapiente Orfeo. In questo libro i professori Graf e Johnston presentano nuove scoperte e illustrano le interpretazioni più recenti. Dopo aver fornito il testo greco e una traduzione di tutte le lamine note, gli autori ne analizzano il ruolo nel contesto dei misteri di Dioniso, e presentano una descrizione dei miti riguardanti le origini dell'umanità e dei testi sacri che i greci ascrissero a Orfeo. Oltre a un'appendice con la traduzione di antichi testi correlati, gli autori offrono altre appendici su analoghe lamine d'oro provenienti dalla Palestina romana, su quelle di Fere e sul loro contesto mitico, e un'analisi aggiornata sulla discussa categoria dell'Orfismo".
