During the summer of 1969-the summer Americans first walked on the moon-musician and poet Patti Smith recalled strolling down the Coney Island Boardwalk to a refreshment stand, where ""pictures of Jesus, President Kennedy, and the astronauts were taped to the wall behind the register."" Such was the zeitgeist in the year of the moon. Yet this holy trinity of 1960s America would quickly fall apart. Although Jesus and John F. Kennedy remained iconic, by the time the Apollo Program came to a premature end just three years later few Americans mourned its passing. Why did support for the space prog

Le sanctuaire de Claros (Turquie), connu par de nombreux textes littéraires pour avoir été le siège de l'un des plus importants oracles d'Apollon durant l'Antiquité, fut localisé au début du XXe s. dans la basse vallée de l'Alès et il a depuis été l'objet de fouilles. Elles ont permis de dégager, sous des mètres d'alluvions, des propylées, plusieurs temples et plusieurs autels consacrés à Apollon et à Artémis, de nombreux monuments destinés à porter des statues honorifiques, des centaines d'inscriptions, des dizaines de statues de marbre et un mobilier céramique, numismatique et métallique très riche. L'élaboration de synthèses sur l'oracle, fondées sur les textes littéraires et épigraphiques qui le concernent, et le renouvellement spectaculaire de la documentation apporté par les fouilles récentes permettent de mieux cerner les origines du sanctuaire, son histoire complexe entre Colophon et Notion, les étapes de sa monumentalisation, la variété de sa fréquentation, la diversité de ses cultes et des pratiques liées à la mantique, l'évolution enfin des modes d'exposition des statues honorifiques et des inscriptions dans l'enceinte sacrée. Le colloque international qui s'est tenu à Lyon à la Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée, les 13 et 14 janvier 2012, a eu pour but de faire le point sur les recherches en cours sur le sanctuaire et son oracle. Ce volume, qui constitue les actes de cette rencontre, comprend quinze contributions abordant tous les aspects de l'histoire de Claros

The Homeric Hymns have survived for two and a half millennia because of their captivating stories, beautiful language, and religious significance. Well before the advent of writing in Greece, they were performed by traveling bards at religious events, competitions, banquets, and festivals. These thirty-four poems invoking and celebrating the gods of ancient Greece raise questions that humanity still struggles with-questions about our place among others and in the world. Known as "Homeric" because they were composed in the same meter, dialect, and style as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, these hymns were created to be sung aloud. In this superb translation by Diane J. Rayor, which deftly combines accuracy and poetry, the ancient music of the hymns comes alive for the modern reader. Here is the birth of Apollo, god of prophecy, healing, and music and founder of Delphi, the most famous oracular shrine in ancient Greece. Here is Zeus, inflicting upon Aphrodite her own mighty power to cause gods to mate with humans, and here is Demeter rescuing her daughter Persephone from the underworld and initiating the rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries. This updated edition incorporates twenty-eight new lines in the first Hymn to Dionysos, along with expanded notes, a new preface, and an enhanced bibliography. With her introduction and notes, Rayor places the hymns in their historical and aesthetic context, providing the information needed to read, interpret, and fully appreciate these literary windows on an ancient world. As introductions to the Greek gods, entrancing stories, exquisite poetry, and early literary records of key religious rituals and sites, the Homeric Hymns should be read by any student of mythology, classical literature, ancient religion, women in antiquity, or the Greek language.

Als eines der Hauptmerkmale hellenistischer Dichtung gilt allgemein und unbestritten ihre Gelehrsamkeit, doch haben in der Forschung dabei nicht alle Bereiche alexandrinischer Bildung und Kultur gleichermaßen Berücksichtigung gefunden. So ist das bei Apollonios Rhodios durchgängig spürbare Interesse an geheimen Kulten, entlegenen Riten, Paradoxa und Magie bisher nur selten in den Blick genommen worden. In der hiermit vorgelegten Untersuchung wird das entsprechende Material der Argonautika umfassend neu ausgeleuchtet und unter breiter Hinzuziehung literarischer wie außerliterarischer Zeugnisse sowohl lebensweltlich kontextualisiert als auch auf seine Funktion innerhalb des Werkganzen hin befragt. Aufgrund dieses komplementären methodischen Zuschnittes richtet sich das Buch an Religionshistoriker wie Literaturwissenschaftler gleichermaßen.
