De Giambattista Vico à J. G. Herder et de B. G. Niebuhr à Théodore Mommsen, les essais réunis dans ce volume nous proposent des lectures stimulantes d’un certain nombre d’œuvres majeures des Lumières et de la période post-révolutionnaire. Le livre est divisé en deux parties : la première, intitulée « Questions d’historiographie » permettra aux lecteurs d’appréhender, à travers l’analyse des récits d’histoire ancienne, les mutations du discours historique pendant le XVIIIe et le XIXe siècle. La seconde partie, intitulée « Questions de transferts culturels » , porte sur la diffusion du savoir classique dans l’Europe, notamment à travers l’analyse des mécanismes de réception. Mots clés : Antiquité et Modernité, historiographie, philosophies de l’histoire, échanges culturels, usages politiques de l’histoire, identité nationale et nationalisme.

The traditional grand narrative correlating the decline of Graeco-Roman religion with the rise of Christianity has been under pressure for three decades. This book argues that the alternative accounts now emerging significantly underestimate the role of three major cults, of Cybele and Attis, Isis and Serapis, and Mithras. Although their differences are plain, these cults present sufficient common features to justify their being taken typologically as a group. All were selective adaptations of much older cults of the Fertile Crescent. It was their relative sophistication, their combination of the imaginative power of unfamiliar myth with distinctive ritual performance and ethical seriousness, that enabled them both to focus and to articulate a sense of the autonomy of religion from the socio-political order, a sense they shared with Early Christianity. The notion of 'mystery' was central to their ability to navigate the Weberian shift from ritualist to ethical salvation.

Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. Among the names given to the gods many of them refer to spaces: cities, landscapes, sanctuaries, houses, cosmic elements. They reflect mental maps which need to be explored in order to gain new knowledge on both the structure of the pantheons and the human agency in the cultic dimension. By considering the intersection between naming and mapping, this book opens up new perspectives on how tradition and innovation, appropriation and creation play a role in the making of polytheistic and monotheistic religions. Far from being confined to sanctuaries, in fact, gods dwell in human environments in multiple ways. They move into imaginary spaces and explore the cosmos. By proposing a new and interdsiciplinary angle of approach, which involves texts, images, spatial and archaeological data, this book sheds light on ritual practices and representations of gods in the whole Mediterranean, from Italy to Mesopotamia, from Greece to North Africa and Egypt. Names and spaces enable to better define, differentiate, and connect gods.
