Abstract

The invention of coinage in ancient Greece provided an arena in which rival political groups struggled to imprint their views on the world. Here Leslie Kurke analyzes the ideological functions of Greek coinage as one of a number of symbolic practices that arise for the first time in the archaic period. By linking the imagery of metals and coinage to stories about oracles, prostitutes, Eastern tyrants, counterfeiting, retail trade, and games, she traces the rising egalitarian ideology of the polis, as well as the ongoing resistance of an elitist tradition to that development. The argument thus aims to contribute to a Greek "history of ideologies," to chart the ways ideological contestation works through concrete discourses and practices long before the emergence of explicit political theory. To an elitist sensibility, the use of almost pure silver stamped with the state's emblem was a suspicious alternative to the para-political order of gift exchange. It ultimately represented the undesirable encroachment of the public sphere of the egalitarian polis. Kurke re-creates a "language of metals" by analyzing the stories and practices associated with coinage in texts ranging from Herodotus and archaic poetry to Aristotle and Attic inscriptions. She shows that a wide variety of imagery and terms fall into two opposing symbolic domains: the city, representing egalitarian order, and the elite symposium, a kind of anti-city. Exploring the tensions between these domains, Kurke excavates a neglected portion of the Greek cultural "imaginary" in all its specificity and strangeness.

Abstract

Wie begegnet der griechische Historiker Herodot im 5. Jh. v. Chr. fremder Religion? Wie stellt er persische und ägyptische Religion in seinen Historien dar? Herodots Erzählung über Ägypten, die Beschreibung persischer Sitten und die Eroberung Ägyptens durch den persischen König Kambyses stehen im Zentrum der Studie.Andreas Schwab entwickelt ausgehend von neueren religionswissenschaftlichen Ansätzen ein mehrdimensionales Konzept von Religion, um Aspekte antiker Religion zu erfassen, die über Götter und Opfer hinausgehen: die religiöse Dimension des Sozialen, des Raums, der Zeit, der Ästhetik und der Interaktion. So zeigt er erstmals, dass Herodots Auseinandersetzung mit fremder Religion erheblich breiter, tiefer und differenzierter ist als bisher angenommen. Herodot lässt konkurrierende Stimmen und Deutungen von Priestern und Einheimischen zu religiösen Sachverhalten zur Sprache kommen. Er ist somit nicht nur als ein Religionshistoriker, sondern auch als 'Religionswissenschaftler' avant la lettre anzusehen. Diese neue Erschließung ist für die Klassische Philologie, Alte Geschichte, Ägyptologie, Religionswissenschaft, Theologie- und Religionsgeschichte von besonderem Interesse.
