"Making the Etruscans come alive for us today, Nancy Thomson de Grummond is an archaeological detective, piecing together evidence from representations in art, from archaeological sites, and from indirect accounts of Etruscan lore in Greek and Roman texts." "She opens with purely Etruscan material, beginning with their stories of the prophets and ending with their very particular view of the Underworld. She probes the relationship between myth and ritual, revealing what myth tells us of Etruscan attitudes about politics and in particular about their society." "In addition to dozens of text figures the book includes a unique CD with an extensive archive of more than 220 black and white and color illustrations of mythological figures, of the utmost importance as primary material for studying Etruscan myth, given that we have no Etruscan texts. The fully annotated images are drawn especially from the polished bronze mirrors the Etruscans engraved with hundreds of scenes from mythology. The latter feature inscriptions that provide crucial evidence for identifying the gods and the principal themes."--Jacket.

This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these female figures were resurrected on the big screen by different filmmakers during different historical moments, and were therefore embedded within a narrative which served various purposes.

En Grèce ancienne, une modalité importante de la perception du divin, bien qu¤elle ne soit pas la seule, est la perception visuelle. Celle-ci a pu se faire notamment au moyen des images, qui, tout en relevant du visible, permettent de " montrer l¤invisible " et de donner corps au divin. Dans le but de nourrir le questionnement sur la représentation et la perception du divin dans le système religieux des Grecs, la présente étude propose une analyse des diverses stratégies de mise en image(s) de la présence divine au sein d¤une production artistique spécifique : la peinture de vases attique des VIe et Ve siècles av. J.-C. En effet, si la représentation figurée des dieux a pu prendre de multiples formes, notamment dans la statuaire, le vase peint en est un support particulièrement intéressant à étudier, car l¤iconographie céramique fonctionne sur un mode propre et donne ainsi un éclairage particulier sur les représentations que les Grecs se faisaient du monde et d¤eux-mêmes. Par la lecture et l¤analyse des images, cette étude touche en outre à certaines problématiques plus vastes, portant notamment sur l¤éventuel référent cultuel de ces images, sur la relation établie entre les mortels et les divinités au travers du rituel, et sur l¤idée que les Grecs se faisaient de leurs dieux et des manières dont ils pouvaient se manifester.

Orphic gold tables are key documents for the knowledge of rites and beliefs of Orphics, an atypical group that configured a highly original creed and that influenced powerfully over other Greek writers and thinkers. The recent discovery of some tablets has forced a noteworthy modification of some points of view and a review of the different hypothesis proposed about them. The book presents a complete edition of the texts, their translation and some fundamental keys for their interpretation, in an attempt at updating our current knowledge on Orphic ideas about the soul and the Afterlife stated in those texts. The work is improved with an appendix of iconographic annotations in which some plastic representations in drawings are reproduced related to the universe of tablets, selected and commented on by Ricardo Olmos.

In Ancient greece, interstate relations, such as in the formation of alliances, calls for assistance, exchanges of citizenship, and territorial conquest, were often grounded in mythical kinship. In these cases, the common ancestor was most often a legendary figure from whom both communities claimed descent. In this detailed study, Lee E. Patterson elevates the current state of research on kinship myth to a consideration of the role it plays in the construction of political and cultural identity. He draws examles both from the literary and epigraphical records and shows the fundamental difference between the two. He also expands his study into the question of Greek credulity--how much of these founding myths did they actually believe, and how much was just a useful fiction for diplomatic relations? Of central importance is the authority the Greeks gave to myth, whether to elaborate narratives or to a simple acknowledgment of an ancestor. Most Greeks could readily accetties of interstate kinship even when local origin narratives could not be reconciled smoothly or when myths used to explain the link between communities were only "discovered" upon the actual occasion of diplomacy, because such claims had been given authority in the colective memory of the Greeks. This study enriches the dialogue on how societies often use myth to construct political, social, and cultural identity--hardly unique to the ancient Greeks, it is rather a human phenomenon for a culture to embrace an identity grounded in a putative ancestry that is expressed in the traditional stories of that culture. --Book Jacket.
