Romersk religion og mytologi

Steeped in honey, Juventius, your golden eyes, and as sweet too when I press my lips to them - three hundred thousand kisses is not close to enoughFor centuries, evidence of queer love in the ancient world was ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few, famous narratives are widely known - yet there's a rich literary tradition of Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond this handful of stories. Here, the poet Seán Hewitt and painter Luke Edward Hall collect together, for the first time, forty of the most exhilarating queer tales in the classical canon and bring them newly to life. A ground-breaking anthology that changes the way we see the ancient world - and invites us to reflect on the puritanism of our own - 300,000 Kisses is a riotous celebration of desire in all its forms.

Alt fra fødsel til død kunne næppe foregå uden at guderne var inddraget og familierne ofrede på deres hjemmealtre.Offentlige kulter samlede folket i forbindelse med religiøse optog, dyreofringer, fælles måltider og spil.Præsteskabet havde et overordnet ansvar for Roms beståen og udførte talrige ceremonier og ofringer for at formilde de store guder, for ikke mindst kunne deres vrede forårsage pest og hungersnød, mens bedre tider betød, at præsterne havde sluttet fred med guderne.De mange bevarede tempelruiner, relieffer og skulpturer omhandler en svunden tids særlige religiøse opfattelse og har sat deres informative spor.Bogen er en introduktion til romernes levevis samt den gradvise import af guder og gudinder - og hertil kom kultdyrkelsen.

Ovid, som levede 43 f.v.t.-17 e.v.t., er en af de mest læste romerske forfattere, og få er blevet oversat i samme omfang til så godt som alle sprog som han. Ovids absolutte hovedværk er det mytologiske digt Metamorfoser, der igennem århundreder har været en hovedindgang til den græske myteverden. ’Metamorfoser’ betyder forvandlinger, og værket er en guldgrube af fortællinger, der trækker på hele den græsk/romerske mytologi og rummer både idyl og gru, kærlighed og krig. Værket var så godt som færdigt, da kejser Augustus forviste Ovid fra Rom, og overlevede trods magthaverens forsøg på at undertrykke kendskabet til det. I denne bog præsenterer Bodil Due Ovid, hans hovedværk, sprog og betydning for eftertiden. Bogen er således både en introduktion til Ovid og en genvej til nogle af de vigtigste passager fra hans Metamorfoser, der gengives i Otto Steen Dues oversættelse fra 2005.

Between 1532 and 1536/37, the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck traveled to Rome, strolled through the city, visited art collections and antique gardens, made pilgrimages to the holy sites, and filled his sketchbook with drawings. Most of the sheets created there and now kept in Berlin come from a sketchbook whose original binding has been lost. The latest art-technological investigations at the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett have now largely reconstructed the original sequence of the book's pages. This forms the basis of the present facsimile. In his fascinating studies, Van Heemskerck captured ancient sculptures and ruins, the admired art of Michelangelo and Raphael, and Roman cityscapes. In doing so, he demonstrated a special flair for composition and perspective as well as an extraordinary drawing sensibility. In the sketchbook, the artist found his personal field of experimentation and at the same time created a valuable pool of motifs from which he would draw throughout his life. Tatjana Bartsch has been Deputy Head of the Photographic Collection at the Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max Planck Institute for Art History since 2011. Christien Melzer has been curator for Dutch and English art before 1800 at the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin since 2020.

This volume is the first in a planned edition of the complete corpus of ancient Mesopotamian god lists. It contains the lists "An = Anum" (including its forerunners) and "An = Anu Sa ameli" along with several similar, more-or-less fragmentary lists. The god list An = Anum was, with its ca. 2000 entries, the most comprehensive list of its kind. It is systematically organized and contains explanations both of individual deities and of certain groups of deities. The textual witnesses also provide, to a varying degree, pronunciation and translation glosses. In this edition each list is presented as a composite reconstructed text with translation, critical apparatus, and synoptic table of the textual witnesses, followed in each case by a philological commentary. In addition, the textual witnesses are transliterated individually. Names, words, and glosses are made accessible through detailed indexes. Hand copies and photographs of previously unpublished sources conclude the volume.

"Moving beyond Virgil-centric readings of Statius' poetry, this book offers an innovative, intermedial, and Ovidian reading of the Thebaid, suggesting that the poem reworks both Virgil and Ovid's politically loaded myths and spatial narratives to scrutinise the new realities of Flavian Rome through the mythical story of Thebes"--

Is the Hebrew Bible purely a product of Jerusalem or were there various social groups who each played a role in its development during the Second Temple period? This is the guiding question of the present volume, which fills a crucial gap in recent research by combining current literary-historical, redactional and text-historical analysis of the Hebrew Bible with the latest results pertaining to the pluriform social and religious shape of early Judaism. For the first time, the thirteen articles in this volume address the phenomenon of religious plurality by bringing together archaeological, (religious-) historical, and literary-critical approaches. The articles by internationally renowned scholars cover the panorama of currently known social groups of Yahwistic character and the impact of this phenomenon on the making of the Hebrew Bible - from the Persian period to the time of Qumran.

Den albanske humanist og præst Marin Barleti (ca. 1460-efter 1512) er en af Europas betydeligste fortællere. Hans biografi af nationalhelten Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg (1405-68) blev en international bestseller, der i århundreder inspirerede til episke digte, dramaer, operaer m.m. Bogen var også kendt i Danmark, og den var grundlag for at Holberg regnede Skanderbeg for verdenshistoriens største helt. Desuden skrev Barleti en bevægende skildring af et heltemodigt borgerkollektiv i den lille albanske by Shkodra, hvor han selv var vokset op. Den var på hans tid en forpost i Venedigs imperium. I 1478 deltog han i forsvaret af byen, som blev angrebet og belejret af den osmanniske sultan Mehmed Erobreren.Barleti levede som flygtning i Venedig da han skrev sine store latinske værker. Begge hans heltehistorier er præget af en smertelig modsætning mellem forfatterens anerkendelse af Venedigs gæstfrihed og hans protest mod den fornemme bys holdning til begivenhederne.LATINERKVARTERET er en serie af bøger, som har til formål at formidle kendskabet til latin og latinsk kultur i antikken og senere. LATINERKVARTERET udgives i samarbejde med Societas Latina Daniae (Latinselskabet).

Devotion to Artemis dominated the religious culture of ancient Ephesos. But she was not alone. The city of Ephesos and its environs offered a rich panoply of religious options, domestic and public. Structures, statutes, coins, inscriptions, and texts testify to the remarkable diversity of religious ideas and practices in Ephesos. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Jewish religious traditions found loyal adherents among residents and visitors. Gods, goddesses, heroes, and emperors were worshipped. The contributions in this volume demonstrate that ancient Ephesos was a vibrant and competitive religious environment.

Alexandria was one of the main hubs of the Hellenistic world and a cultural and religious "kaleidoscope." Merchants and migrants, scientists and scholars, philosophers, and religious innovators from all over the world and from all social backgrounds came to this ancient metropolis and exchanged their goods, views, and dreams. Accordingly, Alexandria became a place where Hellenistic, Egyptian, Jewish, and early Christian identities all emerged, coexisted, influenced, and rivaled each other. In order to meet the diversity of Alexandria's urban life and to do justice to the variety of literary and non-literary documents that bear witness to this, the volume examines the processes of identity formation from a range of different academic perspectives. Thus, the present volume gathers together twenty-six contributions from the realm of archaeology, ancient history, classical philology, religious studies, philosophy, the Old Testament, narratology, Jewish studies, papyrology, and the New Testament.
