A collection of papers with new insights on ancient religion, read at a colloquium in honour of Professor H.S. Versnel ('Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion'). The contributions, presented by nine leading scholars in the field, cover many areas of the religious experience of the Greeks and Romans: myth and ritual (W. Burkert), the gods (F. Zeitlin), cult, festivals, sacrifice. Several papers consider methodological problems and the progress of scholarship; they highlight the contribution of H.S. Versnel to the field. The papers are based on a wide range of sources: pagan and Christian, literary and epigraphical and iconographical. The collection will fascinate all scholars interested in ancient religion, whether they study malign magic, the Imperial cult or general theory.

Qui a inventé la mythologie ? Quelles sont les frontières de ce territoire où des histoires inoubliables et le plaisir de les conter semblent inséparables de l'exégèse et du désir de les interpréter ? Poisson soluble dans les eaux de la mythologie, le mythe est une forme introuvable : ni genre littéraire, ni récit spécifique. Mais parler de la mythologie, hier et aujourd'hui, c'est toujours, plus ou moins explicitement, parler grec ou depuis la Grèce. D'où l'urgence d'une enquête généalogique pour repenser la mythologie comme objet de savoir autant que de culture. Et se découvrent les procédures d'exclusion portées par un vocabulaire du scandale, convoquant toutes les formes d'altérité : depuis les « gueux du mythe » de l'ancienne Samos, le « mytheux » de la mémoire incontinente dénoncé par Thucydide jusqu'à l'incroyable, le sauvage, l'absurde ou l'obscène qui mobilisent les responsables de la science des mythes dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle. Des gestes de partage répétés et successifs où le mythologique, chaque fois, se déplace, change de forme et de contenu. Inventivité de la mythologie qui se raconte dans une histoire où interfèrent les pratiques de l'écriture, les discours sur la tradition et les échanges entre la mémoire et l'oubli.

The Early Amazons offers a new understanding of the ancient Amazon myth, situating mythical representations in the realm of cultural history. The first section examines how the Amazons have presented a challenge to views on history, myth and gender in classical mythology from the late eighteenth century up to the impact of structuralism. Topics included are nineteenth-century historiography and the interest in linguistics. The second section sheds new light on the culture of archaic Greece, offering a coherent assessment of literary and visual representations. Taking mythical narrative as a form of oral storytelling, it shows the emergence of the Amazon motif and its meaning in the world of epic. Iconographical analysis reveals how the visual arts have made a contribution of their own to the imaginary presence of the Amazons.

Greek Nymphs: Myths, Cult, Lore is the first comprehensive study of the nymph in the ancient Greek world. This well-illustrated book examines nymphs as both religious and mythopoetic figures, tracing their development and significance in Greek culture from Homer through the Hellenistic period. Drawing upon a broad range of literary and archaeological evidence, Jennifer Larson discusses sexually powerful nymphs in ancient and modern Greek folklore, the use of dolls representing nymphs in the socialization of girls, the phenomenon of nympholepsy, the nymphs' relations with other deities in the Greek pantheon, and the nymphs' role in mythic narratives of city-founding and colonization. The book includes a survey of the evidence for myths and cults of the nymphs arranged by geographical region, and a special section of the worship of nymphs in caves throughout the Greek world.
