For more than one thousand years, people from every corner of the Greco-Roman world sought the hope for a blessed afterlife through initiation into the Mysteries of Demeter and Kore at Eleusis. In antiquity itself and in our memory of antiquity, the Eleusinian Mysteries stand out as the oldest and most venerable mystery cult. Despite the tremendous popularity of the Eleusinian Mysteries, their origins are unknown. Because they are lost in an era without written records, they can only be reconstructed with the help of archaeology. This book provides a much needed synthesis of the archaeology of Eleusis during the Bronze Age and reconstructs the formation and early development of the Eleusinian Mysteries. The discussion of the origins of the Eleusinian Mysteries is complemented with discussions of the theology of Demeter and an update on the state of research in the archaeology of Eleusis from the Bronze Age to the end of antiquity.

Dossier : Comment agit-on par la parole dans un cadre ritualisé ? Les pratiques des mondes anciens étudiées sont l'occasion de repenser notre monde contemporain. À travers des processus de ritualisation, de « solennisation » et de formalisation, ce volume étudie la manière dont des actes de langage particuliers ont acquis la capacité de lier des personnes dans des unions durables (le mariage, l’alliance, l’adoption ou le contrat) ; de transmettre la connaissance du passé avec certitude et fidélité (le témoignage juridique) ; ou de garantir des actions à venir dans une totale confiance (le gage, la promesse et le vœu). Varia : Histoire et anthropologie religieuse (sphères d'action et modes d'épiphanie divine, oracles et politique, les agalmata, le daimôn du stoïcisme impérial). Questions d'anthropologie (comparatisme Grèce/Chine : la raison pratique ; le geste de Phryné ; les vases à prédelle ; la « féminité » des arbres : Varron, Ovide).

Little of the historiography of third-century Athens survives, and much of what we know-or might know-about the period has come down to us in inscriptions carved by Attic stonemasons of the time. In this book Stephen Tracy, the world's preeminent expert in this area, provides new insight into an unsettled and obscure moment in antiquity.

The tendency for climate to change has been one of the most surprising outcomes of the study of Earth's history. Marine geoscience can reveal valuable information about past environments, climates, and biota just before, during and after each climate perturbation. Particularly, certain intervals of geological records are windows to key episodes in the climate history of the Earth–life system. Ιn this regard, the detailed analyses of such time intervals are challenging and rewarding for environmental reconstruction and climate modelling, because they provide documentation and better understanding of a warmer-than-present world, and opportunities to test and refine the predictive ability of climate models. Marine geological dynamics such as sea-level changes, hydrographic parameters, water quality, sedimentary cyclicity, and (paleo)climate are strongly related through a direct exchange between the oceanographic and atmospheric systems. The increasing attention paid to this wide topic is also motivated by the interplay of these processes across a variety of settings (coastal to open marine) and timescales (early Cenozoic to modern). In order to realize the full predictive value of these warm (fresh)/cold (salty) intervals in Earth's history, it is important to have reliable tools (e.g., integrated geochemical, paleontological and/or paleoceanographic proxies) through the application of multiple, independent, and novel techniques (e.g., TEX86, UK’37, Mg/Ca, Na/Ca, Δ47, and μCT) for providing reliable hydroclimate reconstructions at both local and global scales.
