Dionysos And Immortality - Benjamin Ide Wheeler - Bog

""Dionysos and Immortality: The Greek Faith in Immortality as Affected by the Rise of Individualism"" is a scholarly work written by Benjamin Ide Wheeler. The book explores the concept of immortality in ancient Greek religion and how it was affected by the rise of individualism. The author examines the role of Dionysos, the god of wine and ecstasy, in Greek religious belief and how this deity was associated with the idea of immortality. Wheeler also explores the impact of individualism on Greek society and how it affected the way people thought about death and the afterlife. He argues that the rise of individualism led to a greater emphasis on personal achievement and a diminished belief in the afterlife. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek religion, philosophy, and culture, as well as the history of ideas and the development of Western thought.The Ingersoll Lectures On The Immortality Of Man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
